We have finished beta testing and we are now submitting workunits into a new queue for short runs. | |

I've got one of these waiting to run, and I noticed it's up to replication _4 already: | |

Put your safety glasses on and watch for smoke? | |

Does this mean that those of us who have only been able to run the cuda 3.1 code are no longer wanted? | |

Hm im suprised that cuda31 will finally disabled after switching it extra to short units queue. My 285gtx can normally do 6 wus per day :( | |

It will always be possible to run with 280s but on new drivers. | |

Possible but for the half performance of now, i dont invest >200w/h on 3 short wus per day ;) buuuut perhaps the new app runs better, so i will see and test some wus when 31 queue is empty. I will report then ;) | |

Put your safety glasses on and watch for smoke? Well, I went to bed and pulled the duvet over my head, which amounts to much the same thing. Results for host 43404 As you can see, the _4 task completed successfully, as did the subsequent _7 - that was the was last opportunity to get any science done, according to the "max # of error/total/success tasks 7, 10, 6" policy. And now I've got another _4. That's a horribly high error rate - are you sure this app was ready for prime time? While we're here, could we have some thoughts about the naming of the various application types, please? It's very misleading to have two separate (but identically-named) filters for short runs - especially when the the second one (appid=18) seems to be described as "CUDA 3.2" on the task selection preference page, but jobs from that queue were allocated as cuda42 to my host. | |

Ps: is it a typeerror to see now cuda32 on the site? Or is this cuda31 or something other?Yes it should be 3.1, but saying as it's being deprecated I wouldn't worry about it now. | |

Just watched a tasks complete and two subsequently fail after 2seconds. | |

I had a bunch of failures as well: http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4144270 http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4144240 http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4144211 http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4144208 http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4144196 | |

These Betas are all failing on my systems, so I've had to suspend any more Beta testing for a while (otherwise I'll stop getting tasks): | |
ID: 28515 | Rating: 0 | rate: / Reply Quote | |
Tried a few as confirmation, with the same result - 12 errors in a row. | |

Thought I'd dip a toe back into the Beta testing pool, but I'm getting 'No beta tasks available'. Is it windows only? | |

I think it is Windows only. | |

Hi, a subset of the betas had indeed a problem that makes them fail immediately. We devised a way to selectively remove single unsent tasks and cancelled them, so many should have disappeared from the queue; those already downloaded will disappear gradually. | |

By 'disappear gradually' I presume you mean they will fail, get resent, fail, get resent, fail and then be cancelled. But for the stubborn scheduler, the 2sec runtime wouldn't be such an issue. | |

Since today there is only 1 user left who connected the last 24hours to the short cuda31 queue (Serverstats). Im proud to tell, im this lonely guy ;) So i need at least 3 more (@24h crunching) days to clear this queue up (~4 hours per WU). Only as little estimate when the adminstaff can deactived it, and the problems with the queue selection on some computers should go away then ;) | |

hmm ok gpugrid dont sends me anymore tasks from cuda31 queue. strange. who should compute them now? O.o | |

Sry for spaming around, only want to help finishing the queue :( | |

I think the server page is not corect with this, as yesterday was to see as well, its always 2 left, however my pc did already 4 today and 1 will be ready in the next hours (could be just Saturday in UTC). ____________ Greetings from TJ | |

It counts down on the " in work" unit when i finished something when i remeber right. Perhaps it shows 2 units free to send but all "in work" units are ready to resend and it fills the ready to send queue only until 2 or something. But im happy when someone help me, so we can finish it up faster :) gogogooo | |

I am a bit confused and I hope it gets resolved soon, I have my lowest power GPU set to only crunch Short Run tasks, but somehow it keeps on being given the Long Run Tasks, even though it has no chance of finishing them even within the 48 hour Bonus time. I hope the settings just didn't set in once I realized Short run 4.2 were available. | |

I am also getting only long runs on my computers that are set to accept only short runs. I have them set to receive long runs only if there are no short runs available, but there seems to be plenty available. | |

I hope the settings just didn't set in once I realized Short run 4.2 were available. There are three things you must do to prevent getting the long runs. You have to double-check, read carefully and make sure you have done all of these things. 1) uncheck long runs 2) uncheck the box that says "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?" 3) click the update button I am willing to bet you did not do step number 2) or possibly not 3) and I am willing to bet you will post at least 2 more times that it does not work properly before you RTFP and realize you neglected to do 2). The settings work properly for everybody else therefore if they do not work for you then you are not setting them properly. ____________ BOINC <<--- credit whores, pedants, alien hunters | |

I have them set to receive long runs only if there are no short runs available, but there seems to be plenty available. What makes you think there are plenty short runs available, the server status page? That page lies. Never trust the numbers you see there, never, not at this project or any other project. If you're getting long runs then it's because when your computer requests work there are no short runs. Notice that leaves open the possibility that sometime AFTER your host receives the long runs someone/something puts tasks in the short run queue. ____________ BOINC <<--- credit whores, pedants, alien hunters | |

The server status page doesn't lie, but since it's usually updated every 10 minutes it never shows the current status either (i.e. not giving you the information you're looking for). | |

It's normally reasonably reliable (unlike some projects), but it might be telling a few porkies at the minute; some tasks were pulled out manually. Perhaps the server isn't aware of this? | |

I tried to get short tasks at one stage (yesterday or the day before) when it said there were hundreds of tasks, but I was unable to for hours... What is the difference between the two "Short runs (2-3 hours on fastest card)" listed on the server status page? ____________ | |
ID: 28559 | Rating: 0 | rate: / Reply Quote | |
The first one is cuda31 support, "specially" for 2xx cards with drivers <3xx.xx. It will deactivaded soon. The second is cuda42 support for 4xx or better cards with driver >=3xx.xx | |

The second is cuda42 support for 4xx or better cards with driver >=3xx.xx Thanks for the feedback, dskag. That's what I thought. :-) The problem for me is that I've got two hosts set to request tasks for that app only (in preferences, run test apps? No; only short runs CUDA42 checked; accept other work? No), yet I'm not getting any of those tasks. :-( One host has a 550Ti w/306.97 and the other is a 260 w/310.90. ____________ | |

The second is cuda42 support for 4xx or better cards with driver >=3xx.xx Same here.. I have both short queues checked yet don't get any tasks. Beta and long queues are disabled ____________ Team Belgium | |

That's a topic already being discussed in the No tasks available for ACEMD short runs cuda 3.2 thread. | |

That's a topic already being discussed in the No tasks available for ACEMD short runs cuda 3.2 thread. Thanks for the feedback... Sorry to have missed that, but there's been so much talk lately about similar things in different threads that it's hard for me to keep track! I will set my prefs to accept both short queues and see what happens. ____________ | |

That's a topic already being discussed in the No tasks available for ACEMD short runs cuda 3.2 thread. From reports in this very thread it is evident that sometimes neither of the two short queues has tasks. If your host requests a task when both queues are empty then it won't get one. And remember, even if the server says there are tasks in one of the queues it isn't necessarily so. ____________ BOINC <<--- credit whores, pedants, alien hunters | |
