1) Message boards : Number crunching : Get 'Waiting to Run' when running a 'MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation 1.18 (mt)' WU (Message 59001) Posted 20 Jun 2013 by Steve Post: Hi, I have a 6 core AMD processor, and a Radeon 7850 GPU. I have my app_config file setup to run 2 GPU tasks at once, as I find I get a greater throughput that way. <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.50</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.05</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_separation__modified_fit</name> <max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.05</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> The issue I am having is that while my 2 GPU tasks are running as well as expected, my CPU task (which is running a MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation 1.18 (mt) WU on all 6 CPU's) almost constantly is set to the state 'Waiting to Run (6 CPUs), and sits there suspended. By snoozing the GPU tasks, the CPU tasks restart. If I resume the GPU tasks, the CPU task may either hit the 'Waiting to run' state immediately, or progress for a couple of minutes before hitting the 'Waiting to run' state. I don't recall getting this issue until the mt WUs came along. What can I do to get my CPU and GPU tasks to run simultaneously?
