I've been noticing some of my work unites stalling for HCC1. I'm completing unites at an average rate of 8 minutes, though lately I've noticed some of them stalling randomly; unless I suspend them and resume them, they stay like that. Anyone experience this issue? I've been using BOINC 7.0.52, then I upgraded to 7.0.59 hoping it would solve the problem, but it hasn't. I plan to uninstall BOINC completely and do a clean install, but was wondering if anyone else has been there and solved it. I should mention I'm running a crossfire setup; though, I have already disabled and re-enabled crossfire with no change.
Below is a screenshot with the stalled unites highlighted.

Hello nocheinfinita,
I would tend to suspect the GPUs or device driver rather than the BOINC version. Why not try reducing the number of work units per GPU and see if that makes a difference? Lawrence |

Hello NochEinFinita,
----------------------------------------yes. I have seen similar today. here is WU status link https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/devi...s.do?workunitId=695897412 Wingman has not finished but that is inconclusive unless I can PM him somehow. This WU has stalled my GPU queue of work. It has now run for 7 hours and 25 minutes. Lawrence, In my case, I only run one GPU WU at a time - so this one is stalling the rest of my work. The WU gets the attention of the whole GPU - A Radeon HD 7750 with 2GB of memory. I had queued up 0.4 day work. here is my device ID deviceId=2325898&deviceType=B ( edit: I tried to cut & paste the link but it didn't work..) here is the result name/ID X096013126040120112011101102_ 1 I will wait a bit and see if anyone has suggestion before I abort the WU. Thanks, Jay  [Edit 1 times, last edit by jay_Orlando at Apr 12, 2013 1:38:07 PM] |

I only ever see stalled WUs when I have overclocked my GPU too much.
There is no value in letting it continue in the stalled state, if you suspend that one Wu and then restart it, it should process correctly. |

Sometimes work units stall on my machines when BOINC runs CPU benchmarks in the middle of a GPU WU. If you look in the event log and see CPU benchmarks during the middle of the work unit, you can abort the work unit and start up the next one.
The WCG support techs are aware of this anomaly. |
