Hi,

I've recently upgraded my machine and transfer my old task to the new OS. Everything seemed to be working fine, but for the last two days only the GPU tasks are running, while the CPU is doing nothing.

From the list of task I have a bunch in uploading state, two running on the Nvidia GPU (after 3 mins idle) and the rest ready to start. Any idea what's causing this? Here's my initial messages, in case they shed some light. Thanks.

the servers are borked as mentioned in multiple other posts. I'm not sure why your new OS is suddenly not running the WU's. Did you upgrade BOINC? reinstall it? change settings?

Hi,

I've recently upgraded my machine and transfer my old task to the new OS. Everything seemed to be working fine, but for the last two days only the GPU tasks are running, while the CPU is doing nothing.

That's probably because only GPU tasks are left on your machine. You can see that in the "Application" column in the "Tasks" tab of BOINC manager. The CPU tasks have a "6.03" in the application name.

From the list of task I have a bunch in uploading state, two running on the Nvidia GPU (after 3 mins idle) and the rest ready to start. Any idea what's causing this?

Yes, if you look at all the other posts from the last days, you'll see that the SETI servers have problems with uploading our tasks. And since you have so many tasks pending in upload, BOINC won't download new ones.

So, you'll have to be patient until the Berkeley crew solves the problem.

Gruß,
Gundolf

Thanks guys, I just wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with the new setup.

Well, there may still be something wrong with the new setup, but the server side issues are masking any problem you might or might not have on your computer.

BOINC WIKI

1) Did you check you have WUs of version 6.03

2) Did you check the NEW Preference:
Suspend work if CPU usage is > XX %
