What projects are you attached to?

what projects do the GPU's get work from?

Do this happen with any particular combination of work?

Claggy


GPU: Primegrid/ SETI/ orbit / Milkyway
Although recently the only work that has been done lately is Primegrid & SETI.
I have not noticed any trend so far.

3) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can I run the WUs more than 16? (Message 36640)
Posted 28 Jan 2011 by mnpoboy
Post:
This is very much the same issue that I have been having. However, I run Windows 7 x64, WCG 6.10.58 and this seems to be an intermittent issue.
I have seen 13 cores used and at other times 16 cores used when this has happened. Checked on it later and all cores are utilized.

Temps are fine and I have restarted both BOINC and the system. When the BOINC restarted 13 cores were running. Next time I checked hours later, 24 cores running. Plenty of jobs in queue.

I have found only one way to "correct" the problem but it only temporarily corrects the malfunction. If I Advanced>Shut Down Connected Client, on restart all cores are used again. However, this does not prevent the failure from occurring again.

Thank you for any assistance.

4) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC using only 15/24 CPU cores (Message 36627)

I do not understand what is going on here. There are plenty of applications in queue, no applications are using more than 1 core and including the two nVidia cards, there are 15 tasks running. BOINC sees 24 cores and has always used 24 or 23 if I told it to leave one alone. Why on earth would this change?
