Message boards : Number crunching : TF on GPUs works sometimes, and sometimes does nothing for hours

I have Tahiti and Fury GPUs. They randomly finish a task in an hour, or not at all, no % GPU usage, just sit there. Not sure how long I should leave them. No CPU being used either. I'm now trying 8 at a time on the GPUs so they can work on another when one has dozed off. The cards are NOT incompatible, because I have successfully finished many tasks on them all. | |

Should be a problem with multi-GPU, the app doesnt have multi-GPU support, there must be a fix somehow but dont know yet. Excluding a card doesnt help either because you have the same multi-GPU setup. Its a real BOINC client issue, need one GPU WU on every card separatily. | |

You have a point there, my triple GPU machines are the two failing. The others work fine, they have single GPUs. I couldn't put my finger on it because I was looking at card models instead. | |

Do you have an app_config? I sent you a PM with a SPAM filter notice from your provider, you must setup your config there. | |

Yes I know how to use those. What are you suggesting I do with it? I sent you a PM with a SPAM filter notice from your provider, you must setup your config there. Ah, yes it does that sometimes, it's run by my ISP. But if it's turned off, I get 50 spams a day. Can you tell me the address it will be coming from please? I can simply add a whitelist exception like "microsoft.com" - for now I'll assume it's my-firewall.org (which to be fair on my ISP filter does look dodgy!) | |

Thanks. What were you asking earlier about my app config? | |

Thanks. What were you asking earlier about my app config? Can you post it here? You can try this... <cc_config>
<options>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/</url>
<type>ATI</type>
<device_num>1</device_num>
<device_num>2</device_num>
<app>TF</app>
</exclude_gpu>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config> | |

I'm confused now. Earlier you said "Excluding a card doesn't help either because you have the same multi-GPU setup", but now you are suggesting (I think) I can keep SRbase off all but one GPU and it would work? | |

Exclude the cards is easier if its working so running only device 0 (card 1) and disable the other both for other projects. | |

Cool! That seems to be working. Although I changed it to: | |
