Greetings:

Is this something new to version 8 work units? Quite often I'm seeing my OpenCL_Nvidia work units taking a full core of CPU processing in addition to the GPU processing. It never used to be like this. Maybe I've just not been paying attention. Maybe the work unit 'rules' have changed. Maybe this is the new normal?

As an example, I've currently got one of these, 'setiathome_8.12_windows_intelx86__opencl_nvidia_SoG.exe' running in that fashion. It's name is 'blc5_2bit_guppi_57451_23521_HIP63406_0015.31978.831.17.26.161.vlar'. In the Boin Manager it says it's taking up (0.281 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU), but the system says otherwise.

Can someone explain this? Is this due to the guppi or SoG units(obviously this is a both guppi and SoG unit)?

(I'm running the 7.6.22 x64 BOINC client on a Windows 7 host with an AMD FX8350 processor, a GTX 670 GPU, and 16GB of RAM)


Thanks!

Neil

A few threads down: GPU tasks taking 100% cpu.
