Uploading a finished Unit will dump unfinhised unit

Post by alteir »

I´m using on a W11 System with RTX 4080 both, the GPU and CPU.

The most performance has the GPU. My system is callculation 2 Units at a time. Mostly the GPU Unit is finished and starts uploading. After Upload is done, the secound Unit which is between 50 and 60 % completed this unit is dumped.

What can I do not wasting half done Units while uploading finished Units?

You can start by providing full system specs, some log outputs where you think things are being dumped.

Try catching it in the act, and copy the log snippet when it happens.
I see only 1 time where finishing and dumping is happening at the same time. Other two dumps have no finished WU close enough to be influenced

P.S. the reason this is happening, because Machine is upset that you named it NBA :D

Doesn't this happen when a single resources group has both CPUs and GPU assigned so it tries to run both CPU and GPU at the same time ?

Also, it would help to see error from the log when this is happening.

I have a PC with the GPU and CPU in a single resource group running both CPU and GPU WUs and it's not dumping (well, one WU in the last 6 weeks or so). It's still on 8.4.9 though.

I recall a couple years ago with 8.1 complaining that when a GPU work unit finished and uploaded it would cause the CPU work unit to stop and restart folding; didn't dump but it definitely caused an interruption. It was fixed at the time but this could be a recurrence & escalation of that issue.
