Frame range and Frame step parameters are available only for the Animation output type. Those parameters are especially useful if you have failed frames.
Frame range – Specifies a frame range to be rendered. You can specify non-sequential animation frames, e.g. 1-3,7,9,12-15.
Frame step – Specifies a frame step in the frame range for rendering. For example, writing 8 in the Frame step box, will render every eight frame, hence the eight, the sixteenth, the twenty-fourth, etc. Note that the first frame is always rendered.
These filter buttons allow you to select only certain frames.
All – If the parent animation scene has more frames submitted than rendered, it selects all of them to be rendered in the clone job.
Uncompleted – Selects all frames which haven't completed rendering - failed, stopped, paused.
Previous – Selects only the rendered frames from the parent job.
Remaining – Selects all submitted, but not rendered frames (e.g. used Frame Step option or a frame range). For example, if you submitted 100 frames, but rendered every 10th frame, the Remaining filter adds 1-9, 11-19, ..., 91-99 frames.

When cloning a V-Ray GPU job this rollout allows you to override the render engine to render with CUDA on CPU only.
CUDA CPU Override – When enabled, the job starts on a machine without GPU hardware and renders with CUDA on CPU only. Note that this may take significantly longer time to complete rendering.

note
CUDA CPU Override option is useful when:
there is no GPU hardware available to render the V-Ray GPU job
the 16 GB of memory, available on the GPU hardware that Chaos Cloud uses, are not enough for the job to render
Reset to pervious – Resets the render engine to render on GPU only by disabling the CUDA CPU Override option.

info
When the cloned job is rendered, you can see whether it is a V-Ray GPU or a V-Ray job in the Job Details. If it is a V-Ray GPU job, Chaos Cloud shows whether it has rendered only on CPU.
