when I look at the WUs available on the server status page how do I tell which WUs are available for AMD, NVIDIA GPUs etc. right now I have suddenly stopped processing AMD GPU WUs but my interpretation of the server status page indicates that there are WUs available for AMD GPUs.

AFAIK, the server doesn't even have to differentiate between different GPU brands as it will send text files with data (.dat) only. An operating system specific application for how the GPU has to handle that already sits on your system since project installation (or publication of a new one). Then the driver arranges the run. So the server stats page just lists overall numbers. If my assessment is right, you may possibly have changed your settings accidentally?

The direct answer would be something like 'Compare the server status page and the Applications page' and that's best done if one have the translation key between the application name and it's abbreviation shown on the server status page.
A better way of going about finding out the problem would be to ask oneself what's changed?
A good starting point would be the last server contact log for the computer in question, in this case host #12619116.
The the log can be viewed by going to one's list of computers and clicking on the last contact time for the host.
From the above linked log one can ascertain the reason to why no work for the GPU is sent: (trimmed a bit for readability.)
This part of the log indicates that Boinc reports the GPU of having 48 MB of RAM. (That's not a typo!)
The list of computers claims the same.
I would start with either updating or reinstalling the GPU driver to see if this corrects the memory detection fault.
The last time your computer

The last time your computer fetched GPU work was on 13th September. Perhaps there was an update for your computer just after that time that has caused problems. Definitely looks like a driver/OpenCL libs issue. The BOINC startup messages might contain a clue, particularly if you note any difference compared to previous startup messages. You may be able to find an older message in stdoutdae.old if there isn't one in stdoutdae.txt.
Cheers,

Late today I thought that maybe the problem was driver related (I had not noted your driver comment above Gary) so I rebooted the PC and in came the GPU jobs. I am not sure why this happened. I am running ubuntu 16 and have not done any updates lately. Anyway it is working once again after 6 lost days of crunching.
Thanks to all who replied.
