I've had several WUs that would run for 13 seconds, pause and start over again in an endless loop of 13 second activity. The Intel OpenCL seems poorly supported too.

That url is not available for us to view, It is for your use only, with your computers hidden we cannot see what the problem is,

But it's probably this:

WUs with very unusual Autocorr parameters

Got the same behavior since 2 weeks on some WUs on all my PC with GPU:
Start computing then "Postponed: Cuda runtime, memory related failure, threadsafe temporary Exit", then waiting for reschedule and restart computing from 0...

Stderr.txt example:

Maybe an incorrect argument when calling the functions:
int cudaAcc_FindAutoCorrelation(float *AutoCorrelation, int ac_fftlen, int fft_num )

and the CUDA kernel with the following dimGrid/dimBlock parameters:
int len = ac_fftlen/2;
int blksize = 256;
dim3 block3(blksize,1,1);
dim3 grid3(len/blksize,1,1);
CUDA_ACC_SAFE_LAUNCH( (ac_reducePartial<<<grid3, block3, blksize*sizeof(float3)>>>( (float *)dev_AutoCorrIn, dev_ac_partials )),true);
WU's on first
