The maximum time exceeded seems to be the error as nothing else pops out at me in the output. That leaves me wondering if the GPU is so underpowered if it shouldn't be assigned tasks, or is this an issue with the DCF being out of whack, which can't be corrected until a workunit finishes?
Suggestions ...
Presently I've disabled GPU fetch for the machine.

The culprit is the Work Group Size, which could be changed
through a cmd-line option, in an app_info.xml file but Einstein uses another way these days. Also the # tasks per GPU can be changed, besides other options.
If I'm not teribly mistaken.
I don't know if this is possible at Einstein?!
Hope someone with some solution will chime in.
(I use the CYPRESS (HD5870) GPUs (2), which has a 256 Work Group Size).
