this is what my GPU usage is doing I have an Nvidia RTX 2080 super and a ryzen 5 1400 CPU a pny 240 GB SSD that can consistently go 500 MB/s I don't know what is wrong and I would like to use my GPU's full power my usage is staying at about 0-5% until suddenly it spikes to 100% for about a second and then back to 0% [Edit 1 times, last edit by Dfirebug at Apr 27, 2021 5:07:33 PM] |

Each spike is basically the GPU working on 1 job. Each GPU task you receive likely has at a couple dozen jobs. If you want to increase the GPU usage, you could create an app_config file.

During the stress test yesterday, several Nvidia WUs on two of my machines with Nvidia GeForce GT 720 cards errored out. As far as I can tell, they were running without any problems, but were terminated because the WU has a hard cap on the elapsed time limit.
It's not clear why such a strict cap is in place when the WU deadline is days away, especially when GPUs can vary wildly (much more than CPUs) in terms of throughput. Unless lower-end GPUs are simply unwanted by the project, these time caps may need to be revisited. Details below: Apr 27 07:02:45 redacted-host-1 boinc[3490]: 27-Apr-2021 00:02:45 [World Community Grid] Aborting task OPNG_0005115_00189_0: exceeded elapsed time limit 7973.34 (628994.24G/83.94G)
Spot-checking the WU results shows the following: <core_client_version>7.16.6</core_client_version> |

If you want to increase the GPU usage, you could create an app_config file. not exactly "completely" normal. the old tasks did have this behavior from jobs starting and stopping within the WU, but these new ones, the 5-digit jobs have MUCH more time with the GPU at 0-low%. starkly different between the old and new, and proportionally more run time as a result. ![]() EPYC 7V12 / [5] RTX A4000 EPYC 7B12 / [5] RTX 3080Ti + [2] RTX 2080Ti EPYC 7B12 / [6] RTX 3070Ti + [2] RTX 3060 [2] EPYC 7642 / [2] RTX 2080Ti |

I am receiving multiple GPU WUs for OpenPandemics, however every single one ends with a "Computation error"... GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 740, driver version 466.11 You're probably experiencing the same issue that I and others have been having with the GT 7xx series ever since the beta testing. I think it's been established that these cards are able to complete WUs properly on Linux but not on Windows. Although it's entirely possible I may have missed it, I have yet to see a plan to deal with this issue. [Edit 1 times, last edit by motech at Apr 28, 2021 1:49:39 AM] |

Greetings! Did something change from yesterday and today with the Open Pandemics WU's? Yesterday I was crunching them at 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Today they are 10 to 13 minutes and my GPU is only running roughly 50% of the time on the WU. When the WU hits about 30% the GPU kicks in. I have 2 1080 ti hybrids.
Thanks, Michael |

Maybe someone can shed some light on the behavior of the OpenPandemics Covid19 gpu workunits.
----------------------------------------I'm running BOINC on Win7, nvidia 1070 and an i5 3570K. I'm monitoring hardware activity and status with hwinfo64 and the msi afterburner. The gpu is mostly just idle on those WUs and it looks like there is nearly no possible benefit of running the task on the gpu if only a few seconds gpu time come on top of about 10 minutes cpu time. While one could argue that those typical spikes in gpu load is easily misleading in pure visual representation the temperature is a pretty good indirect indicator for power usage which is guaranteed to come with computation. No power usage, no computation. While the typical GPU temperature under load is at about 67-70° C (with games or primegrid WUs) with OpenPandemics Covid19 it was at 53 and since there was quite low activity i would suspect that most of the power consumption came from the gpu just being in high performance state. So is this an error? Usual behavior of those WUs? Maybe my setup? Or is the GPU part in those just some spice on top of a cpu workload? It certainly gives me the feeling that this gpu time is wasted. In addition to that those WUs produce distinctly lag on the windows desktop. Which makes the observed idling gpu even more vexing. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Bigeagle at Apr 29, 2021 7:41:27 PM] |

In addition to that those WUs produce distinctly lag on the windows desktop. Which makes the observed idling gpu even more vexing. the app is just poorly optimized now. lots of GPU idle time. you're correct that GPU time is being wasted. you can help this along by running more GPU tasks concurrently, but at the expense of using more CPU resources which you may or may not want to tolerate. some users are reporting running 2, 4, 8, 10+ concurrent tasks. you need to reserve a CPU core for each additional core. your i5 only have 4 threads. so it'll be pegged 100% supporting 4 concurrent GPU tasks. you won't be able to process anything else on the system. ![]() EPYC 7V12 / [5] RTX A4000 EPYC 7B12 / [5] RTX 3080Ti + [2] RTX 2080Ti EPYC 7B12 / [6] RTX 3070Ti + [2] RTX 3060 [2] EPYC 7642 / [2] RTX 2080Ti [Edit 2 times, last edit by Ian-n-Steve C. at Apr 29, 2021 8:12:36 PM] |
