Hello,

I had a work unit https://gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=29624565 that was displaying as "running" but after minutes it didn't made any progress: neither in percentage nor in elapsed time.


So I had to cancel my task https://gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=36261497.

Did this happen to someone else? I tried to suspend and resume it without success. Is there a way to "force restart" a task?

This task was then later correctly completed by someone else which is on Linux while I'm on Windows, could that explain?

with this type of task, it takes several minutes until you can see progess in the BOINC Manager. So just be patient. Also, it takes a short while until the GPU starts it's work.
Suspending these tasks will kill them. So don't do it. Just let it run, and be patient :-)

Okay, from what I remember it was rather fast on my side (seconds) while here I waited 5-10 minutes

Also, it takes a short while until the GPU starts it's work.


Yes, usually about 5-10 minutes on my side.

I knew it restart them from the beggining, I was worrying if this could somehow stuck the task. I will wait longer next time :)

Thanks for your reply !

So it looks like there is in fact a bug.

I have this work unit: https://gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=29641527

It went successfully to 10%. But then I suspended it manually (to play some games) and then I resumed it, but now it's been 30 minutes that it is like this (UI is in french):


(image link: https://imgur.com/a/1LCD3Hr)

The task resumes correctly (to 0%) on the following scenario though:
- Computer suspend
- Computer off/on
- Paused because there is a high priority application running

I tried to suspend my computer and restart it, but it looks like it didn't start the task yet (5 minutes after).

Is there any log I could provide to help debug this?

So I just restarted my computer and the task started directly!

I am not sure whether this is a BOINC or a GPUGRID bug though.
