Hi,
----------------------------------------I'm a but green when it comes to understanding fully the inner workings of BOINC but, due to recent overheating issues, I decided to no longer accept GPU work, only CPU work, yet I see that I now have 1 Help Conquer Cancer work unit that appears to be overlooked and never starts. In the description it shows "Help Conquer Cancer nvidia_hcc1". My question is, was that a server error that allowed it to download against my settings, or will it in fact run eventually anyway using the CPU only? Thanks.

There can be many reasons why the boinic manager download that work unit. A good rule to follow is to abort that work unit because it is only designed to be processed by a GPU.
If it continues to happen make sure your setting on WCG and boinc manager on your computer are the same. |

I've had on the rare occasion an hcc job for CPU with the wrong descriptor, really was a CPU task. Whilst, if you've not altogether disabled GPU processing it would get scheduled as soon as the GPU is free, but some older BOINC (not boinic) versions do have a buggy scheduler i.e. would not wait on it to hang around and just abort the task.

This is a brand new version of BOINC as I had uninstalled everything a few weeks ago, then relented and decided I should at least try with CPU-only stuff which of course curtailed my choice of projects quite a bit.
----------------------------------------My settings are the same at BOINC and the websites so it must have been downloaded in error. I'll abort it. Should I deselect Help Conquer Cancer in my website settings or does it still have non-GPU work? Thanks for the help. Edit: Ignore that last question, I see that it does, so I will leave it as a choice for downloads. [Edit 4 times, last edit by Former Member at Jan 15, 2013 3:46:40 PM] |
