1) Message boards : GPUs : GPU questions. (Message 110976) Posted 28 Jan 2023 by BoincSpy Post: 1. I have observed if you have one RTX 30x or RTX 40x and have the build in intel GPU processing working units the rate of processing goes down ~10 %. IE if not running an RTX 3070 ti without intel GPU the processing rate ~31% if we add the intel processor the rate drops to ~19-21%. Anyone know what the underlying cause of might be the slow down. 2. I just purchased a RTX 4070Ti and noted the GPU rate is not much higher than the RTX3070 Ti. IE 32.0 % /min vs 29.0 % /minute. I know it might be related to what WUs processing but thought I would get a better rate / minute IE almost double based on the GFLOPS peak numbers. Here are the specs of the 2 graphics cards. Again any thoughts on way the 4070ti is not really outperforming the 3070Ti.

2) Message boards : GPUs : One Nvidia GPU unable to process after a couple of days. (Message 108277) Posted 30 May 2022 by BoincSpy Post: The Linux client is not the 7.16.20 as reported earlier.

I will dig into the issue of GPU task requires more that one thread, and play around with the CPU settings. Thanks, BoincSpy
3) Message boards : GPUs : One Nvidia GPU unable to process after a couple of days. (Message 108152) Posted 19 May 2022 by BoincSpy Post: So the machine in is running ubuntu, so I will have to do a clean install on the nvidia drivers. However the other machine (Windows ) that I have issues with has the same versions of the drivers and it appears the task cpu/gpu scheduler is causing the issue of not running the other task on the other GPU. I suspect this because of the following. 1) If I play around with the Computing preferences CPU usage limit ( % of CPU ) I can get the other GPU to start processing. 2) If I delete all tasks I can the the other GPU to run for a couple of days.

5) Message boards : GPUs : One Nvidia GPU unable to process after a couple of days. (Message 108114) Posted 17 May 2022 by BoincSpy Post: I have the following issue in that One of the two NVIDIA GPUS no longer computer after a couple of days. The only way to get work again is if i remove all the tasks or reset the project but I have to do this every 2 - 3 days. Here are the specs. This happens on a couple of machines. Project: Einstein@Home GPUs: 2 RTX 2070s. CPU: Intel I7 / Gen 8, with 8 GB ram. Boinc Version: 7.16.20 There are plenty of GPU tasks enabled. I have turned on coproc_debug, cpu_sched_debug and work_fetch_debug options. Here is the event log. Noticed that device is not able to run because CPU is committed but I have set the CPU limit to 70% so I thought there would be plenty of CPU head room. I tried setting it lower makes no different. 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| Re-reading cc_config.xml 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| Config: GUI RPCs allowed from: 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| 172.16.0.23 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| Config: use all coprocessors 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| log flags: file_xfer, task, coproc_debug, cpu_sched_debug, work_fetch_debug 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| [cpu_sched_debug] Request CPU reschedule: Core client configuration 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| [work_fetch] Request work fetch: Core client configuration 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| [cpu_sched_debug] schedule_cpus(): start 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] reserving 1.000000 of coproc NVIDIA 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] add to run list: LATeah3012L08_796.0_0_0.0_32509764_0 (NVIDIA GPU, FIFO) (prio -1.000000) 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] reserving 1.000000 of coproc NVIDIA 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] add to run list: LATeah3012L08_796.0_0_0.0_32507847_0 (NVIDIA GPU, FIFO) (prio -1.020764) 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] add to run list: p2030.20180616.G55.31-01.59.S.b6s0g0.00000_3800_0 (CPU, EDF) (prio -1.041527) 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] add to run list: p2030.20180616.G55.44-01.82.S.b4s0g0.00000_3552_0 (CPU, EDF) (prio -1.041562) 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] add to run list: p2030.20180616.G55.44-01.82.S.b4s0g0.00000_3560_0 (CPU, EDF) (prio -1.041597) 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] add to run list: p2030.20180616.G55.31-01.59.S.b6s0g0.00000_3088_0 (CPU, EDF) (prio -1.041632) 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] add to run list: p2030.20180616.G55.31-01.59.S.b1s0g0.00000_1752_0 (CPU, EDF) (prio -1.041667) 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] add to run list: p2030.20180616.G55.31-01.59.S.b1s0g0.00000_1896_0 (CPU, EDF) (prio -1.041702) 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| [cpu_sched_debug] enforce_run_list(): start 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| \| [cpu_sched_debug] preliminary job list: 5/17/2022 9:39:12 AM \| Einstein@Home \| [cpu_sched_debug] 0: LATeah3012L08_796.0_0_0.0_32509764_0 (MD: no;

7) Message boards : API : not returning a newer BOINC version number (Message 105880) Posted 28 Oct 2021 by BoincSpy Post: I don't think this is an issue with get_newer_version but I have 7.16.11 (x64) installed however i have noticed that there is a newer version available on the boinc.berkeley.edu website 7.16.20. I am assuming that the project that I am running needs to update there servers to indicate a newer version is available or is this incorrect and boinc @ berkley needs to make the change. Thanks in advance, BoincSpy
