Re: Work Unit (PRCG): 9201 (995, 4, 508)

Interesting. OK, for the record, the CPU on this machine is being used concurrently for work on IBM's World Community Grid. The CPU utilization is 100%, and its temperature ranges from 92-101 degrees Celsius. The World Community Grid processes run in the background, at the lowest process priority. W...

Re: Work Unit (PRCG): 9201 (995, 4, 508)

I have been using "GPU Shark" to monitor my GPU temperature. Since this machine was last rebooted a couple of days ago, the GPU temperature has ranged from 71-79 degrees Celsius. Currently, it is at 78 degrees, and is being used at 98% of maximum. The CPU is not being used for this project...

Re: Work Unit (PRCG): 9201 (995, 4, 508)

Your analysis seems to be spot-on, and you've had a number of good ideas. The power setting for this machine has been set to "High Performance," which means "Dim the display- Never," "Turn off the display- Never," "Put the computer to sleep- Never," and "...

Re: Work Unit (PRCG): 9201 (995, 4, 508)

OK, I finally have results for this. Improving the ventilation and reducing the operating temperature as much as practical has no observable effect on processing behavior. The work unit will progress to some maximum value less than 100%, and stall. If I pause and then resume, the reported progress d...

Re: Work Unit (PRCG): 9201 (995, 4, 508)

The driver I am using was grabbed by the AMD Catalyst Control Center; it appears to be legitimate and up-to-date. So now I am in process of putting this machine on a laptop base with a fan, trying to bring ventilation up and operating temperature down. I will report the results as soon as I have the...

Re: Work Unit (PRCG): 9201 (995, 4, 508)

This machine has an AMD Radeon HD 7970M GPU with driver version 14.501.1003.0

Um, perhaps the FAH project isn't rated to run on this brand of hardware?

Re: Work Unit (PRCG): 9201 (995, 4, 508)

OK, here is the follow-up on this. My original observation was that the progress bar for the work unit showed 99.99%, but the log showed only 60% complete. So I paused and then re-started the WU, and the progress bar advanced again to 99.99%, and stalled again. (The log then showed 65% complete.) He...

Work Unit (PRCG): 9201 (995, 4, 508)

This work unit has executed on my machine until it reached a completion state of 99%, at which point it has stalled, and will not advance further.

What approaches might be used to drive the WU to completion?

Thank you and I apologize if this topic has already been covered on this forum.
