I often see a similar problem. https://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=33631003 Also, there workunits usually reach 100% completion for hours before they finish. |

Graphics cards (GPUs) :
Unit gets stuck at 2% when resuming after suspending
(Message 59085)
Posted 623 days ago by robertmiles
What I've seen seems to mean that tasks resumed from checkpoints will, at first, show 2% progress. However, when it reaches its next checkpoint, it will resume showing the actual progress, including whatever was recovered from the first checkpoint. One peculiarity I just saw: A task was showing 100% progress but still running. I spent a few minutes trying to decide if this was a hung task. Then all the files in the slot directory disappeared, and the task started sending a file back to the server. |

A peculiarity of Python apps for GPU hosts 4.03 (cuda1131): If BOINC is shut down while such a task is in progress, then restarted, the task will show 2% progress at first, even if it was well past this before the shutdown. However, the progress may then jump past 98% at the next time a checkpoint is written, which looks like the hidden progress is recovered. Not a definite problem, but you should be aware of it. |

Were the very long ETA estimates intended to make GPUGRID Python GPU work run before any GPU work from other BOINC projects? They seem to be very good at doing that. Note there seems to be no thread for discussing non-beta Python tasks. |

This task is giving wild results for its estimated time remaining. This morning, it was saying over 400 days remaining. Application Python apps for GPU hosts 4.03 (cuda1131) Name e23a16-ABOU_rnd_ppod_demo_sharing_large-0-1-RND7660 State Running Received 6/19/2022 6:33:56 AM Report deadline 6/24/2022 6:34:02 AM Resources 0.949 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU Estimated computation size 1,000,000,000 GFLOPs CPU time 23:13:06 CPU time since checkpoint 00:02:47 Elapsed time 06:42:45 Estimated time remaining 357d 12:44:26 Fraction done 22.580% Virtual memory size 5.81 GB Working set size 1.05 GB Directory slots/10 Process ID 6376 Progress rate 3.240% per hour Executable wrapper_6.1_windows_x86_64.exe I've seen other tasks start out claiming over 300 days remaining, and then finish in between 5 and 6 days. Is there something wrong in the data sent as task input, or is it the wild first ten tasks for a new application version? |

I'm getting a new task with unusual properties. Estimated Remaining time: 1301d (in other words, a few years) Download 2.48 GB (It has been downloading nearly 4 hours so far, but should finish downloading in about an hour) Uses Python and a GPU Name contains _beta2_ Is the long remaining time a wild guess for an application that has never run on my computer before? If it's real, does checkpointing work for this application? Windows is VERY unlikely to let it run this long without interruptions for updates. Deadline is in about 5 days. Is this automatically extended as needed, as long as progress continues, like RNA World does? https://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=32791264 |

We are experiencing multiple issues, e.g. hitting an undocumented upload size limit, and others. Please be patient. Have you tried file compression, or splitting the large file into multiple pieces that will be combined after they are unloaded? |

I'm now using my GPU preferably for tasks related to medical research. Could you mention whether the Python tasks are related to medical research and whether they use the GPU? |

World Community Grid is also offering GPU tasks to work against COVID-19 now. Select Open Pandemics, and enable GPU use. https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=480838 They are currently doing a stress test to see if their servers and internet connections are adequate for this. They use BOINC. |
