Done.

Thanks!

Thanks for the background. I would however reconsider the term "well known" -- it's clear that it's not to the casual participant.

Has anyone considered or tabulated the wasted power, time, and corresponding CO2 emissions on these broken WUs? Wasting resources on crypto is one thing but we shouldn't be wasting volunteer's resources. These add up.

Another just hit:

Yes becasue it's STILL running at 100% over an hour. It was supposed to run 28days then went to 100% in 5 minues and now is still running 1h22m at 100% complete and has not terminated. The task manager is still showing high utilization on the task.

I'm seeing the same problem with ATMbeta. They error out in the first 5 minutes then go to 100% then take a long time to error out.

I just upgraded to an RTX 4080 from my GTX 980ti as I was getting a lot of failures from Einstein tasks. That has stopped but the only GPU tasks erroring are from this project.

I process other CUDA WU from other projects without issue and get decent credits. Just wondering if the task software isn't heeding available resources and forging ahead destined to crash.

Yes, the plan is to update to a newer GPU but the last few years have made that improbable -- I refuse to be gouged.

I also have to make a decision to move away from nVidia or not -- their market behavior isn't my cup of tea.

I just had a WU crash the GPU and it took 105 minutes of reboots to get the monitors to not be full green screens and boot to the desktop.

I then updated the driver from 522.25 to 526.47 to see if that will be better.

However all three hosts trying that WU errored out.

Bad CUDA app?

Well then the status text should be updated to set expectations.

Resources
0.983 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU

Traditionally this SEEMED to mean CPU core not 98% of the CPU.

My recent WUs are using 60-100% CPU on a Ryzen 9 3900X (12 core). Running BOINC 7.20.2 on win11 (64GB DDR4) using 7GB.

The GPU (GTX 980Ti) is using 4GB most of its local VRAM (6GB total), but the CPU_0 and Copy graphs are "spikey" running low (20%) then spiking to 80% every 7 seconds.

I'm running my 2nd WU and I don't have the file. I only have vcruntime140.dll and my 2nd WU is halfway completed.

There are a lot of failures before my assignment to the task.
