Posted 3940 days ago by Kenneth Larsen Just for your information, my graphics card is a GTX660 with 2GB of memory, and I'm still unable to these WUs well. Maybe it's different on Linux than on Windows? |

Posted 3940 days ago by Kenneth Larsen How long should I let them run, then? If they were using the GPU 100% I'd have let them run, but they don't. That's why I cancelled them, fearing they would take days to run or eventually error out. Unfortunately the only way I can see how much they use the GPU is by watching the temperature; usually it stays around 60-62 degrees, with the new WUs it's around 50. Idle is 35-40. Oh, and ambient temperature is higher than normal the last few days (35-38 degrees), so that's not the issue. I'm not going to downgrade the nvidia-drivers as I'm using the computers for many other things beside crunching, like games. Anyway, I suppose I'll give it another go then and let it run to 100%, then report back here. |

Posted 3940 days ago by Kenneth Larsen I have been running GPUgrid for weeks without trouble, suddenly, a few days ago, all the work units I try to run don't utilize the GPU as before. Initially they are calculated to run for abou 13 hours, but after the 13 hours they have only reached about 15% and the time to completion starts rising. At this point I abort them, if not before, as they don't seem to utilize more than a small part of the GPU. I'm running Boinc 7.0.65 on Linux, nvidia-drivers 319.23. So far I've wasted about 2-3 days of electricity trying to crunch. Am I the only one experiencing this? Is it due to the new WUs mentioned? |

Posted 4675 days ago by Kenneth Larsen But I cannot see any mentioning of SWAN_SYNC… It only says so if you are running SWAN_SYNC, it doesn't mention anything if not (at least when looking at my results). Be careful when putting SWAN_SYNC in .bashrc, it will only work if boinc is running as that user. To set it system-wide, look in /etc/environment or /etc/env.d/ |

Posted 4759 days ago by Kenneth Larsen As noted above, 'nvidia-smi -a' does indeed show the gpu and memory usage. It should be part of the nvidia-drivers package. I'm currently trying to integrate it in the conky desklet to easily monitor it. EDIT: Sorry for reviving such an old post, I hadn't seen the date... |
