On Kaktwoos 1.12 you were only running the code on your Nvidia GPU (one task)
On Kaktwoos 2.00 you had intel tasks, but because of the multi-vendor bug you had *Both* tasks running on your compatible Nvidia gpu (hence 80,000 seconds) at once rather than only Nvidia. Your Intel Graphics OpenCL is too old to run, and so we suggest that you reset the project in BOINC and re-get new tasks with the new enforced compatibility and fixes.

Sadly, your Intel GPU will no longer be used, Odd-Rod. Just your Nvidia GPU. It never ran code in the first place from the tests I've seen.

Thanks for the great explanation!
I had gathered that the IntelGPU wasn't going to work, but interesting about 2 WUs on the NVidia, No wonder it was slow.
I have now disabled IntelGPU on that host (Darn, I was looking forward to having another project to run on it).
Since I'm about to go to bed, and I have a full day's work tomorrow (thank goodness, with our lockdown in South Africa!) I've got the host on No New Work until I'm able to monitor it.
I'll check the forum again tomorrow evening.

The older applications allowed for the task to run way longer as well. Now you're capped at 49,470 seconds, while before it finished without problems in 55,981 and 80,314 seconds.


Indeed, I was about to paste such info when I saw your post.

This results in it getting 1 task at a time.


My situation is the same. It is a single work unit that doesn't complete in time.

I also have a slow host that doesn't return work in time.
Not meant to be a complaint, just hoping this info will be useful in changing some settings.
