Maybe we have found a solution with commandline without hardcoded.
The GPU_limit issue is in progress

Testing with v0.08

update
and failed...
reported for latest wrapper code only, will update and retry

v0.10 with updated wrapper

We need a longer run to test checkpoints.

batch cptest1:

- max_tasks_in_progress = 2
- 14min on a 5500XT, faster on better GPUs
- deadline 4h + 1d grace_period

Checkpoint test

Go to your slot folder and check the stderr.txt
After 5min or you see an entry of an iteration stop BOINC and resume the test, the iteration line must be continue after the last line.

The same behavior as TF, the CPU time is resetted to 0 but all is working as it should.

They don't run 5 minutes on my system and I'm not sure what an iteration looks like. They have all completed now. Maybe someone else was able to test the checkpoint function.

Have you hard-coded it to have a 5 minute checkpoint or are you relying on the Boinc setting to checkpoint as set by a user ?

could be the
-iters : run next PRP test for iterations and exit. Multiple of 10000.
option

Could be earlier on faster cards to write / reach the iteration
I like the standard values. Nothing to setup by user

If you have multi-GPUs in your system pls test it to make sure that you are getting 1 WU per GPU. The tests are short.

With this new batch of tasks, I am only getting 1 task on the PC which has 2 GPUs. Earlier today, I got 2 tasks, one per GPU.

The PC is asking for more work, but the server says no tasks available, even tho I see there are ones ready to send on the Project status page.

So, the answer is no, I am not getting 1 WU per GPU, I am getting 0.5 WU per GPU.

This host with two GPUs only gets one WU. https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/show_host_detail.php?hostid=222234
BM reports two 5070 Ti but it has one 4070 Ti and one 5070 Ti installed.

That setting is 1 WU per GPU but could be bugged. If you say the other host got 1 each was this for LL-dc or TF?

There is another config added to test if you are getting 1 task per GPU.

The test was working. If you have multi-GPU you will get 1 task per GPU.
