I've noticed in the last few days a handful of VLARs assigned to my (Nvidia) GPUs, according to the Rescheduler. I don't know if they were labeled ".vlar" or not.

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?

Is this going to be a problem going forward?

My guess is there is quite a few almost VLARs running around right now, they don't technically qualify but do run quite a bit longer.

The Fermi cards can handle the VLAR's whereas the older 2XX series cannot. You may just want to reschedule any that are labeled .vlar to your CPU

IIRC at one time rescheduler had a larger range which it considered VLAR than the ones labeled as such from the lab. I think there is also a was to set a customized VLAR value, but it has been a while since I have done any jiggery pokers in there.
