	The new acemd3 app should fix the issue. Thanks for all the reporting! Note that one still can't restart between different types of cards.

	That's great news Toni. I hope you'll send a BOINC notice out when Linux is back in production so those of us on walkabout know to return. ____________

	Just change your Preferences for Computing to "Switch between tasks every" to something like 360 minutes and the task should start and finish on the same card avoiding the issue of restarting on a dissimilar card. If all your cards are the same brand and type, maybe only type, you can restart on a different card and finish with no errors.

	I managed to successfully complete a task after suspending it and restarting it on the windows 7 computer with a rtx 2080ti card. When I suspend the task the wrapper and the acemd3 disappeared from the task manager, and then reappear when the task restarted: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429745 On the windows 10 computer, I ran a task on the gtx 980ti card, I suspended and resumed it successfully. I suspended it again, reboot the computer, it restarted successfully. I received another task, which ran on the rtx 2080ti card successfully, side by side with the other task. I then suspended both tasks, and restarted the task, which ran on the 980ti, on the 2080ti, and it crashed. http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429733 I restarted the other task , and which started on the 2080ti and is running well on the 2080ti, right now: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429800 You can't start the tasks on one and restarted successfully on another card. I haven't tried reboot the computer without first suspend the task, yet.

It's the second task like that I've had in the last couple days. http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429805 The other one failed on a suspend / restart, when I paused the client. http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429344 That one did validate on another machine, and it looks like the one I have now is slowly making progress, so I'll let it run at least overnight to give it a chance to complete. ____________ Team USA forum \| Team USA page Join us and #crunchforcures.

	Received a New version of ACMD v2.08 (cuda101) Work Unit on a Win8.1 (update 1) Host with GTX750ti GPU. Work Unit Name: e40s11_e37s6p1f279-ADRIA_FOLDUBQ_BANDIT_crystal_ss_contacts_50_ubiquitin_4-0-2-RND1517_1 - Suspended Work Unit after 18 minutes (2.2% complete) - Wrapper and ACEMD tasks disappeared from Task Manager. - Resumed Work Unit, Wrapper and ACEMD tasks reappeared and Work Unit continued to process. Then rebooted PC after Work Unit had been running for 21 minutes. (without suspending WU) Work Unit successfully restarted and continues to process. NOTES - The Remaining (estimated) time does not seem to change or indicate an accurate run time. (only a small issue) - Checkpoint seems to be every 90 seconds - GTX750ti is running at 98% utilization and 94% power according to nvidia-smi. This GPU does not reach these figures on the old tasks. This Work unit may take another 13 hours to complete at current rate. Work Unit is here: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429814 It has not completed yet, but is still encouraging results!

	I rebooted the computer (without suspending the tasks), these 2 task were able to restarted and finish successfully afterwards: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429991 http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21430924 There is still an issue with getting ACEMD v2.06 (cuda100) tasks. It happened on my windows 10 machine, which has a Maxwell card and a Turing card. I wonder, if there's connection there? http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429972 The error was due to suspend and restart. I also have an unexplained error: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429886 It was running on the 980ti card. I suspended and restarted it successfully. It was running fine when I left it. Next morning, I found that it crashed. The 2080ti was running either Einstein or Milkyway tasks. Every once in a long while the Einstein gamma ray pulsar task will cause the NVIDIA driver to crash momentary, then it restarts. Maybe that and it was running on a non Turing card are the reasons for this crash. After the task crashed, it cause afterburner to crash. I had to restart that also.

I wonder, if there's connection there? http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429972 The error was due to suspend and restart. From what I understand, I think only ACEMD v2.08 survives the suspend/restart. I also have an unexplained error: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429886 Assuming no issues with the host/other projects, looks like a new error. (These assumptions would need to be explored also) From the Stderr output: # Engine failed: Error invoking kernel: CUDA_ERROR_UNKNOWN (999) Error appears after 7 minutes (2 minutes after Task was suspended and resumed).

	The new acemd3 app should fix the issue. Thanks for all the reporting! Note that one still can't restart between different types of cards. When do you plan to release the ACEMD3 client for Linux? I thought that you will do it after the Windows client is fixed. I know it still has (at least) one problem (restarting a task on a different card), but probably the Linux client has the same problem. Alternatively you could put part of the long workunits to the ACEMD3 queue (it has the new client for both platforms).

	Not getting any work yet for any of my Linux machines and I don't have Windows so I have been out of luck since May but I am sure E@H is pleased. I had been getting some of the beta tests however, just nothing recently since the restart problems appear to have been resolved with the Windows systems.

	Got a new ACEMD 2.06 (http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21443611) WU on one of my Linux machines. About 53% finished and was suspended and restarted once without issue. Wingman WU failed on a Win10 machine a with little less than 2 min completed, reason unknown. Both systems used GTX-1060's. I'm using driver version 430.50 and boinc 7.16.1 (Fedora distro). All is good with Linux so far.

I also noticed issue with the scheduler not asking for GPU task when I had all these lines in my cc_config.xml file: <exclude_gpu> <url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</url> <device_num>0</device_num> <app>acemdlong</app> </exclude_gpu> <exclude_gpu> <url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</url> <device_num>0</device_num> <app>acemdshort</app> </exclude_gpu> <exclude_gpu> <url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</url> <device_num>1</device_num> <app>acemd3</app> </exclude_gpu> What I am telling boinc is to not run long and short tasks on the Turning card and not to run acemd3 tasks on the Maxwell card. The logic works, but again the scheduler doesn't ask for GPU tasks, no matter what I set the cache number to and I have less than 2 tasks per card downloaded. (I downloaded the tasks before I ran this test.) But if I delete this from the file and of course save it: <exclude_gpu> <url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</url> <device_num>1</device_num> <app>acemd3</app> </exclude_gpu> Everything works fine. The scheduler asks for GPU tasks. Is this a boinc problem or a GPUGRID problem?

	Everything works fine. The scheduler asks for GPU tasks. Is this a boinc problem or a GPUGRID problem? Both. You are running a client that does not handle excludes well. The latest development version does much better. Also the project runs very old server software that should be updated but has not been.

	Just change your Preferences for Computing to "Switch between tasks every" to something like 360 minutes and the task should start and finish on the same card avoiding the issue of restarting on a dissimilar card. If all your cards are the same brand and type, maybe only type, you can restart on a different card and finish with no errors.

I then suspended both tasks, and restarted the task, which ran on the 980ti, on the 2080ti, and it crashed. http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429733 I restarted the other task , and which started on the 2080ti and is running well on the 2080ti, right now: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429800 You can't start the tasks on one and restarted successfully on another card. I haven't tried reboot the computer without first suspend the task, yet.

	... On the windows 10 computer, I ran a task on the gtx 980ti card, I suspended and resumed it successfully. I suspended it again, reboot the computer, it restarted successfully. I received another task, which ran on the rtx 2080ti card successfully, side by side with the other task. I then suspended both tasks, and restarted the task, which ran on the 980ti, on the 2080ti, and it crashed. http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429733 I have this task now, and it's not loading the GPU at all. It's the second task like that I've had in the last couple days. http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429805 The other one failed on a suspend / restart, when I paused the client. http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429344 That one did validate on another machine, and it looks like the one I have now is slowly making progress, so I'll let it run at least overnight to give it a chance to complete. ____________ Team USA forum \| Team USA page Join us and #crunchforcures.

	Received a New version of ACMD v2.08 (cuda101) Work Unit on a Win8.1 (update 1) Host with GTX750ti GPU. Work Unit Name: e40s11_e37s6p1f279-ADRIA_FOLDUBQ_BANDIT_crystal_ss_contacts_50_ubiquitin_4-0-2-RND1517_1 - Suspended Work Unit after 18 minutes (2.2% complete) - Wrapper and ACEMD tasks disappeared from Task Manager. - Resumed Work Unit, Wrapper and ACEMD tasks reappeared and Work Unit continued to process. Then rebooted PC after Work Unit had been running for 21 minutes. (without suspending WU) Work Unit successfully restarted and continues to process. NOTES - The Remaining (estimated) time does not seem to change or indicate an accurate run time. (only a small issue) - Checkpoint seems to be every 90 seconds - GTX750ti is running at 98% utilization and 94% power according to nvidia-smi. This GPU does not reach these figures on the old tasks. This Work unit may take another 13 hours to complete at current rate. Work Unit is here: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429814 It has not completed yet, but is still encouraging results!

	I rebooted the computer (without suspending the tasks), these 2 task were able to restarted and finish successfully afterwards: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429991 http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21430924 There is still an issue with getting ACEMD v2.06 (cuda100) tasks. It happened on my windows 10 machine, which has a Maxwell card and a Turing card. I wonder, if there's connection there? http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429972 The error was due to suspend and restart. I also have an unexplained error: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429886 It was running on the 980ti card. I suspended and restarted it successfully. It was running fine when I left it. Next morning, I found that it crashed. The 2080ti was running either Einstein or Milkyway tasks. Every once in a long while the Einstein gamma ray pulsar task will cause the NVIDIA driver to crash momentary, then it restarts. Maybe that and it was running on a non Turing card are the reasons for this crash. After the task crashed, it cause afterburner to crash. I had to restart that also.

I wonder, if there's connection there? http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429972 The error was due to suspend and restart. From what I understand, I think only ACEMD v2.08 survives the suspend/restart. I also have an unexplained error: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21429886 Assuming no issues with the host/other projects, looks like a new error. (These assumptions would need to be explored also) From the Stderr output: # Engine failed: Error invoking kernel: CUDA_ERROR_UNKNOWN (999) Error appears after 7 minutes (2 minutes after Task was suspended and resumed).

	The new acemd3 app should fix the issue. Thanks for all the reporting! Note that one still can't restart between different types of cards. When do you plan to release the ACEMD3 client for Linux? I thought that you will do it after the Windows client is fixed. I know it still has (at least) one problem (restarting a task on a different card), but probably the Linux client has the same problem. Alternatively you could put part of the long workunits to the ACEMD3 queue (it has the new client for both platforms).

	Not getting any work yet for any of my Linux machines and I don't have Windows so I have been out of luck since May but I am sure E@H is pleased. I had been getting some of the beta tests however, just nothing recently since the restart problems appear to have been resolved with the Windows systems.

	Got a new ACEMD 2.06 (http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21443611) WU on one of my Linux machines. About 53% finished and was suspended and restarted once without issue. Wingman WU failed on a Win10 machine a with little less than 2 min completed, reason unknown. Both systems used GTX-1060's. I'm using driver version 430.50 and boinc 7.16.1 (Fedora distro). All is good with Linux so far.

The logic works, but again the scheduler doesn't ask for GPU tasks, no matter what I set the cache number to and I have less than 2 tasks per card downloaded. (I downloaded the tasks before I ran this test.) But if I delete this from the file and of course save it: <exclude_gpu> <url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</url> <device_num>1</device_num> <app>acemd3</app> </exclude_gpu> Everything works fine. The scheduler asks for GPU tasks. Is this a boinc problem or a GPUGRID problem?

	Everything works fine. The scheduler asks for GPU tasks. Is this a boinc problem or a GPUGRID problem? Both. You are running a client that does not handle excludes well. The latest development version does much better. Also the project runs very old server software that should be updated but has not been.
