Good day, I do not know to whom I should address this but I have noticed that GPUGRID under utilise my GTX 1070 by 10% on the GPU and by 50% on the RAM. I place an extract from GPU-Z below: Memory Used [MB] , GPU Load [%] , Memory Controller Load [%] 4063 , 90 , 45 Is there anyway of improving this on my side or is it something that has to be done Server side? I would like it to be as time efficient as possible - the GPU runs at 60C and completes WUs in and around the 12Hr mark. Regards Riaan |

Memory is OK GPU Load is OK You could try using Environment Variable Swan_Sync 1 |

You're fine and most WUs are fine but one of my cards, GK104 on short WU GERARD_NONAGGRE_cmpd1 is only using 54% utilization and my gpu is at 45C. It's also very long for a short WU. |

You could try running 2 tasks at once with a app_config.xml file in you projects directory. The latest GERARD_MO_ tasks were only giving me 54% GPU utilization on GTX980s in a win7 box with swan_sync enabled. Running two at a time I am getting 80% load. Same story with the GERARD_NONAGGRE tasks on my GTX670s. <app_config> <app> <name>acemdbeta</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1.00</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>acemdlong</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1.00</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>acemdshort</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1.00</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> |

There is high GPU utilization with the BNBS tasks (98% on Linux) and they are less CPU restrained, reasonably high utilization with the short SDOEER_CASP22S tasks (91% on Linux/W10), but some of the others are closer to 80% and suffer more performance loss when the CPU is being used elsewhere. If you are getting significantly less than 80% then I suggest you try reducing your CPU usage as that's likely interfering with GPU performance.
