Thanks for that.

Situation has changed. Now a 2nd wu started but stopped in less than a minute and says "waiting for memory".
My memory settings are 90% of memory regardless of computer being or nor being in use.
Any ideas on solving this?

So I have dual GTX 970 cards but only 1 is running at a time.

How do I adjust the setting to run 2 wus, 1 on each card.

Thanks for any advice.

So it will be up to the GPUs to finish the run in a reasonable time.

A bonus of 25 percent -or more- credit might encourage more GPU folks to help finish the run.

The ETA when I looked a few months ago was Feb 2019.

Next time I looked it had moved to March 2019.

Currently it is April 2019.

Is the change due to the increase in processing time per wu or are there fewer people crunching?

Anybody want to make a SWAG as to what the ETA will actually be?

Is it not possible to get credit for work units run under grcpool?

If not is it possible to get the number of work units run each day or something like or close to daily?

Thanks.

Obviously there is a problem in the coding of Amicable Numbers.

The "fix" suggested works but you waste computing time if you run more than 1 work unit at a time, which is what I do.

How do you know what the GPU utilization is?

Post:
In the 14 hour period between early last night and this morning my computer ran almost all the time and the valid count went up 1 and the validation pending count increased by 4.

Were new wus not available?

I have searched different forums attempting to locate instructions for including Boinc badges in my signature block to no avail.

Can someone please point me in the correct direction.

Thanks.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Work unit errors (Message 944)
Posted 5 Oct 2018 by AT Hiker
Post:
Yes they are listed are computation errors but it is a little suspicious because:

I have literally run thousands of PrimeGrid work units without a computational error and those work units tend to stress the GPUs more than the ones that failed here. If I am wrong about the stress part please correct me.

All of the errors occurred immediately after restarting the work.

Something happened which might never be explained.

Thanks for the reply.

That means that it is not a timing issue.

Post:
Daily I have to suspend operation of Boinc work units to change users.

Sometimes, but not always, when the work is started again the work unit(s) will immediate leave Boinc and new work downloaded.

It makes me wonder if there is some time limit a work unit in be actual progress and finish before it goes into an error state.

Anyone have an idea as to what causes this and how I can stop it.

Thanks.

I would expect the answer to be some number of flops.

OK, but how many calculations does it take to run one work unit?

Is there a way to tell how many calculations my computer has made on Amicable Numbers?

Is it possible to have a different color on the message boards. The current colors are really hard on my old eyes.

Thanks
