The problem is that your BOINC v6.4.7 only keeps a single queue of work - it just thinks that you have 'enough work', it doesn't know about 'enough CUDA, not enough CPU'. You will have been getting hierarchical (S5R5) tasks, which run on the CPU, and ABP1 tasks which run on CUDA: the problem must have arisen because, at the instant you needed work, only ABP1 tasks were available.
If you install BOINC v6.6.38 (now the recommended download, for Windows at least - you don't mention what OS you use), it will maintain separate queues for CPU and CUDA: it will 'see' that your i7 is idle, and ask (and keep asking) for CPU work separately until it gets some.
I am using Vista 64bit.
Well Richard, before 24 September that version was running 6 S5 WU’s and 1 CUDA, sometimes with already 1 or 2 CUDA WU’s in the cue waiting., and a couple of S5’s. So to me it keeps being strange. However when all the CUDA jobs or done in a week, I will upgrade to a newer BOINC-version.
I have now updated from BOINC 6.4.7 to 6.6.38, as that was given as a sugestion to solve my problem of getting 30+ CUDA WU's at a time, while my GPU can only handle one at a time. However I have got 2 CUDA WU's, with "Ready to start", but are doing nothing and 6 S5R5's are running.
What is the problem here? What should I do?
Thanks for helping as always.
What are your (local) preferences forSuspend GPU work while computer is in use?
Thanks Gundolf, that was the trick.
It was a new option for me, I never saw it before and had to look for it a while.
Lucky you where (are) still awake, you helped me before.
Thanks again and sleep well.
