One machine with a GeForce GTX 660 running WCG and a 1050 Ti running GPUGrid.
3 tasks. 2 succeeded (~30min), one failed, although it seems to have failed for everyone at the same point: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/device/...s.do?workunitId=550356570 |

.... For GPU they run lots of ligands in a single work unit due to the speed of the calculations. Speed of calculation is relevant. The range in performance of GPU's is much greater than of CPU's.Thanks, -Uplinger I'm running atm a 60 jobs task on a R3 graphics apu and after 15 hours 89% done. Must have been something wrong with that machine. I restarted the PC and now the GPU-task with 60 jobs inside was ready within 4 hours.

One of my machines has an RX 550 (GCN4/Polaris/Lexa). It seems to just hang on these WUs. Not as in "lock up", but as in "take forever while never completing".
----------------------------------------I can't say what was happening early on, but I can report that it took three hours for a WU to go from 97% to 99% complete. Then about six hours to go from 99% to 100%, and the WU has just been sitting at 100% complete for over 10 hours now. During all of this, the GPU appeared to be in a basically idle state (9W (nine watts) reported power usage). Unsure if this is a one-off, or if it will happen with all WUs. Also unsure if this is a WU problem or a GPU problem, though this GPU has been successfully doing work for Einstein@Home.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by mdxi at Feb 28, 2021 7:57:09 PM] |

Have I done something wrong in my setup, or is there no beta units?
----------------------------------------I have beta testing enabled, "Allow research to run on my CPU?" set to "No" (to prevent getting other tasks) and all of the 'Graphics Card Usage' section set to "Yes". My WCG client is set to 'Use GPU Always' and is using web preferences from WCG. However I've not recieved a single work unit so far. "28/02/2021 20:03:07 | World Community Grid | Your current settings do not allow tasks from this project. To fix this, you can change Project Preferences on the project's web site."

Gazza, there have been very few hours worth of beta units released.
The more powerful computers can snatch them up very quickly. You do not need to turn off research on your CPUs. Regularly turning in CPU work is a great way to trigger regular status checks with the server. Turning off CPU work will possibly be a good idea, for the OpenPandemics project only, but only once the project launches. You still want to do work on the other projects. |

unsure if this is a WU problem or a GPU problem Still can't definitvely say which, but it's happening with this GPU and all WUs from that batch. I rebooted the machine and watched the next one run:
...and I feel like I know how the rest plays out. I've put this machine on another profile for now, with GPU-compute disabled. [Edit 2 times, last edit by mdxi at Mar 1, 2021 2:42:04 AM] |

Well, I'm shutting down my GPU cruncher, until there's some GPU work to crunch.
----------------------------------------(Or maybe it's back to Alpha with the apps?) [Edit 2 times, last edit by Grumpy Swede at Mar 1, 2021 4:42:00 PM] |
