(moderation:
I'm getting lot of failed GPU units. How can I determine why?
My laptop is an ASUS Zenbook with 2 gpu's an intel and a nvidia
Linux kde on openSuse Tumbleweed
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile, Driver Version: 535.54.03
Sample Errors and Info from boinc:

Just read the output file of

Just read the output file of any failed task. Tells you right there why it failed.
Not enough memory for the GW tasks. Since this is a laptop it tries to get memory allocated from the system memory pool. Which it fails in doing so.
The GW tasks need more than 4GB to run.
Change your project preferences to deselect the GW tasks. Run only the FGRPB1G and BRP7 tasks.
Thanks!

Thanks!
So, do i change the GPU

So, do i change the GPU Utilization Factor for GW tasks to 0?

No, you just unselect it or toggle the checkmark from the list of applications.
Applications
All-Sky Gravitational Wave search on O3 (O3AS)
Thank you for the info! In

Thank you for the info!
In my case, any O3AS tasks for NVidia execute for about a minute and then fail. My GPU is: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4096MB) driver: 457.51
I went to Preferences > Advanced Settings > Project > and under Applications and unchecked the All-Sky Gravitational Wave search on O3 (O3AS) line.
It did not have any effect - I still got more of those O3AS tasks. I aborted them. Twice!
Maybe it takes a few minutes to propagate? Some strange browser cache issue? I will turn off GPU use for now.
Are you using web pref's?

Are you using web pref's? Check in boinc/options/computing prefs, make sure you have selected the Einstein project first tho in the boinc projects tab
Michael E.@ team Carl Sagan

Also be sure to Yes is NOT checked in this setting on that page:

Thank you @CAT22! I never noticed that in decades of BOINC use. I always assumed doing a Save would update the web prefs for the current project. Another usability issue is entering percentage numbers instead of selecting the number of CPUs. Sorry, but I worked in software products for decades.

The Advanced View > Options > Computing Preferences point to the WCG web site even if I select the Einstein project first (bug?). So I do not think I can change any Einstein Preferences for Projects.
Good news about the O3AS tasks for NVidia on my Win 10 desktop PC - if I reboot the PC it seems to process the O3AS tasks without error for almost a day.
What version of boinc are you
)
What version of boinc are you running? The "Use Web Preferences" button is missing on some boinc versions
Oh, and I assume you are running Windows? I only use Linux so I wont be much help in any windows environment
