Dears,

as you may have noticed, we sent a new batch of WUs for a new experiment. This time the WUs are rather large and require relatively new cards. For reference, should be ~18h on a 1080 Ti.

Thanks!

It would be nice if you at least gave a longer Deadline.
I only got a GTX1070 and many other got ever weaker GPUs.

Yup, my old GT730 is out, take too much time. Unless the deadline have more days I stop accepting WU.

Good luck for the rest and happy crunching :)

Hi All!

This WU took already 7 hours and total time is estimated for 38 hours on Mobile 2070 RTX. Newest drivers, i7 9th. Is it proper estimate? If so, I won't make it into the deadline :(.

Regards!

Yes. These workunits are very long.

If so, I won't make it into the deadline
Set a low cache (0+0 days, or 0.01+0 days). You should abort them. (at least the one which didn't start yet)
If you want to meet the 5 days deadline, you should let your laptop crunch for 24/7.
If you don't want that, then you should set GPUGrid to "no new tasks" for a while (until this batch is over).

My GTX 780 did it in ~ 50h.

No chance for my GT 710 which runs 24/7 for boinc in my server.

I received a new workunit on Feb 10. Deadline is today. Stats show 32% readiness after 22.5 hours of GPU use. 48 more hours of GPU time is required to finish. Not practical and not doable for me. With such unit size and deadline combination I can certainly find better use for my GPU resources somewhere else.

I completed two running concurrently same machine on two GTX1060's in about 36.4 - 36.5 hours. Running two more about 30% completed in about 10 hours so far. Not too bad for lower end cards.

Sadly the deadline on the tasks is less than the amount of time it will take to complete it.

It should take about 50 hours on my GTX 1650.

Hello,

I have the same problem.
How could we be on time ?

https://ibb.co/82f8Sn0

Please don't get into the game of planned obsolete by forcing users to change their hardware.
You will inevitably gain so many time if we are more to calculate your work units.

Please JUST give us more time to complet WUs.

Funnily, it seems to be much faster on this PC with the GTX 1060 than on the other PC with the GTX 1650. They have different CPUs, this one an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 and the other an Intel i5 9400F. Does this make the difference?

Sorry, after a fast start to 10% the task went back to 0.66%. It seemed too good to be true.

That seems to be the normal behavior for this current batch of ADRIA WUs.
In BOINC Manager, when the task has reached stability at its low progress rate, if you click over the task and then in "Properties", the GTX 1650 graphics card should indicate some value around 2.160% per hour.
You can do the same with the GTX 1060 to compare values.
The higher the progress rate, the lower will be the completion time.

My GTX 1060 3GB cards take ~40 hrs.
My GTX 1650s need about 45 hrs.

My GTX 750ti should have finished in 100 hrs, but I found it stalled (not drawing any power, even though it showed 99% usage) and after I paused and restarted it it never got back up to 1%/hr. It needs 1 hour more than the 120 hr window provides. I'll try again with it overclocked gently.

Please may we have a 144hr window of expiration so everybody gets a chance to crunch.

For now there is work for older cards and AMD GPUs at FAH/COVID moonshot.

The progress on GTX 1650 is 2,160%/hour ; for GTX 1060 is 2,160%/hour. This seems to agree with my observations.The 1060 has only 3 GB of video memory, which was not sufficient for same Einstein@home gravitational waves task. The 1650 has 4 GB.These tasks use only 667 MB memory.

But it is not BOINC, that is the main issue in my case

Typical D3RBanditTest workunits will take 18 hours or 65,000 seconds to calculate and return a result on a Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti video card.
