Update on the issues reported in this thread during the marathon


• Tasks stuck near 98%: see below.

@pututu, @Werinbert and @Michael H.W. Weber: tasks stuck near 98%: the last ~1.5% of tickets sat just above the point where the task hands the rest back to CPU tasks, so the card kept grinding on a handful of very slow tickets. Since today, version 2.81 of the GPU application is rolling out for these tasks. It hands back earlier, and it stops waiting when progress stalls: if progress almost stops for 15 minutes, or if the final part takes more than an hour, the remaining tickets go to CPU tasks and the GPU task ends normally. All 2.81 results so far are valid. It replaces 2.72 as the old queue empties, in about a day. pututu's idea of a timestamp on each "bw_runner: progress" line is not in this version yet; it's noted for the next one.

hmm i have such a task now with 15 hours runtim on 98,xx% stucks since a minimum of 1 hours (im just awake since then so dont know how long it really idles there at the moment) on a 5070ti.
So im not that good in english (text above) i dont know if i have to let it run for...10? hours more or so?

Have gpugrid units waiting for its turn on GPU.

@dskagcommunity: sorry about this one. Your task is one of the last old version 2.72 tasks. Version 2.72 does not have the fix, so it will not stop by itself and it may run for many more hours.

You can abort it, no problem: nothing is lost for the project, the work will be done again on another computer. Then your GPU can run your GPUGRID tasks.

The old 2.72 tasks will be gone in about a day. After that, your card will only get version 2.81, which stops waiting when a task is stuck.

Update on the GPU tasks stuck near 98%: the old 2.72 tasks have now almost all been sent out. Apart from the GPU tasks already downloaded on your computers, the next ones will be version 2.81 and won't have this problem anymore, except for a rare resend of an old task. If one of the old ones gets stuck, you can abort it: nothing is lost for the project.
