Running GTX275 on ubuntu 10.04 x64, running 6.04 app

Everything was just fine, I was not even around of that computer. But I just noticed that there is no 2nd task. I updated manually and here's what i've got:

Tue 17 Aug 2010 06:08:12 PM EDT GPUGRID Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
Tue 17 Aug 2010 06:08:12 PM EDT GPUGRID Requesting new tasks for CPU
Tue 17 Aug 2010 06:08:22 PM EDT GPUGRID Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
Tue 17 Aug 2010 06:08:22 PM EDT GPUGRID Message from server: No work sent
Tue 17 Aug 2010 06:08:22 PM EDT GPUGRID Message from server: Fermi-class GPU needed

Hi CTAPbli

Looks perfectly normal to me.

The messages you refer to are typical BOINCish and simply translate into "no, there are no CPU tasks for GPUGRID".

Also, your RAC numbers suggest that you are running other GPU projects in parallel. Therefore, when enough other work is available BOINC will choose to not immediately download a second GPUGRID WU.

Nothing to worry about.

Happy crunching

smth weird happened this nite... in my understanding there was no non-Fermi WUs that is why I got that messages. now it looks OK, but i'll keep an eye on this.

thanks a lot guys for the help :-)

If it would be able to set "Preferences for this project" to
Use Central Processing Unit (CPU) "NO"
client would not ask for CPU work.
It is an website issue, when set to as mentioned, NO changes to YES after updating preferences.

I have a GTX295 v2(single pcb card), Everytime lately that I've tried to use It on gpugrid, I get the notice Fermi-class gpu needed and I was told to ignore It, Well I ignored It as the project seems to ignore Me, I run Boinc 6.10.56 x64(64 bit Boinc) and the video driver is 257.15 which works for Seti, Newer drivers cause trouble and the current Seti app for My 295 needs this driver, Yet the gpugrid WU's just error out, So My only conclusion is that XP x64 and Boinc 64bit is not supported here, So until My platform is supported properly and not given lip service, Count Me out. No I don't have money for even an MSI Cyclone GTX460 OC card and I won't for a good 3-6 months, As I live on a fixed income(SSI) as I'm a disabled person.

XP x64 and Boinc 64bit ARE supported here.

I dont know what you are basing your opinions on but you have not run any tasks recently. It is normal that the servers first try to send Fermi tasks, and normal that the server later sends non-Fermi tasks. You need to allow the system time to deliver.

VW ... In the past when I have experienced the behavior you are seeing I had not turned off SLI (nvidia control panel disable multi gpu). Also, if you are overclocking, I have found that I can run higher shader frequencies on SETI than I can on GPUGrid.

I need to keep my GPU's under 75° to avoid failures. Just closing the windows brought it above 75° today & I got a tonne of failures. Try to check your temps & bring them down as much as possible.

Have you tried to suspend S@H4cuda while you run GPUGRID & see if that helps?

No need to get mad, I'm just trying to suggest what it could be. BTW, it only says waiting to run & I don't know if you've set it to switch between tasks or not. Sometimes I get a failed WU simply by stopping & restarting it, don't know if you've noticed that too. Especially when using multiple GPU's even if they are the same type, when a WU running on GPU(1) restarts on GPU(0).

VW: up for more *suggestions*?

Still guessing but ...
For the moment, while S@H is down, would you be willing to try disconnecting from S@H and then do a reset on GPUGrid?
I had problems recently after running S@H and switching back to GPUGrid until I reset. My guess is there may be some incompatibility in the one of the core libraries each project downloads. Then again I had problems when switching hardware and a modular pcie cable came loose from the PSU (but not completely disconected) so what do I know :-)

p.s. I should rack up well over 100k when S@H gets back up and makes points available to stats :thumbsup:

You have completed 6 tasks since yesterday, with only one failing after any substantial amount of time. So I would say you are doing reasonably well.

These are the tasks that your system completed:

91-KASHIF_HIVPR_n1_unbound_so_ba1-34-100-RND8850_1

Clearly your card likes the KASHIF_HIVPR_n1_unbound tasks and does not like the TONI_HERGMETAXDOFE or TONI_CAPBINDsp3 tasks, though it did manage to run one TONI_CAPBINDsp3 task. Some times such failures come down to specific manufacturer versions of the card. Just out of interest what make and firmware version is it?

Noticed you also have a Seti CUDA task error in your image. Can you shed any light on that?
