I agree... With the caveat that it could be related possibly in that
whatever is causing the NANs may actually in some cases cause the kernel to
abort. One thing it would be useful if you could check is whether there is a
runtime limit on kernels set. Run deviceQuery and look for the following:
Run time limit on kernels: No
If this is Yes then it is possible that the watchdog process is
inadvertently killing kernels that run for too long. This is a long shot but
possible. The reason this would be Yes is because you have X11 running on
the same card you are running the calculations on. This is not advisable
since it competes for memory and resources and sets the run time kernel
limit to prevent something from freezing the X interface. Really any machine
running GPU runs should be in runlevel 3. Just something to try, it will be
interesting to see if the problem goes away with this.
All the best
Ross
