Looks like there is a problem with current GPU Workunits: | |

True, " Error reading parmtop file " means something amiss in the WU. | |

Is it a good idea to pull the bad batch out of the queue, since they have 100% error rate, according to the server status page? They also have weird file names compared to "normal" workunits, fx AGUAGUAGUA etc. I don't know if that is of any significance though. | |

Is it a good idea to pull the bad batch out of the queue ... it definitely is; particularly in view of the fact that if a (low) number of such tasks has failed on a given host, this host won't receive any new tasks (regardless of good or bad ones) for the next 24 hours. So these hosts are "punished", although they didn't do anything wrong. | |

Can anyone explain me why while the Project Status Page shows hundreds of unsent "PABLO_2IDP..." tasks, all my hosts download only these faulty "PABLO_prod_1_UUAUACCUACCA_350K_2_ru" (and similar) tasks, although from them there are only a handful unsent left? | |

It would help if GPUGrid used a short beta test for new work units. The bad ones would show up in a hurry, and it would avoid filling up the main cache with them. It always takes time to clear out the faulty ones in BOINC; I don't think there is a fast way to do it. | |
