GPUGrid Devs,

I recently got some errors on some bugged tasks, and now my GPU sits completely idle, presumably because I'm prohibited from getting work, despite the errors appearing to be bugged tasks.

Could you please have a look at:
http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4230145
http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4230179
http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4230210

Other people are having the same error on these NOELIA tasks, and the error says:

The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3) - exit code 3 (0x3)
SWAN : FATAL : Cuda driver error 999 in file 'swanlibnv2.cpp' in line 1574.
Assertion failed: a, file swanlibnv2.cpp, line 59

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Thanks,
Jacob

Join the club, all the new Noelia WUs are doing that. No one can run them and they fail on every machine, yet they haven't been cancelled. Do a cold reboot to get the NVIDIA card working again. It would really be nice if they TESTED these WUs before they inflict them on us :-(

That looks like one I've just encountered:

http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4230238

I'm the 'abort': task triggered a driver reset, followed by a "acemd.2865P.exe has encountered a problem and must close" popup.

That also interrupted tasks from another project running on the other GPU: careful management (suspending the GPUGrid task in BOINC Manager, before clicking 'close' in the acemd.2865P.exe popup) allowed both GPUs to continue processing without a reboot - but the GPU running GPUGrid was put out of action until I noticed and intervened manually.

I think that remark applies only to 'long queue' tasks. My host 43404 seems to be coping with (most) short tasks OK.

I am very disappointed with this project lately, yesterday NOELIA two units of 8 hours each processed with faulty execution, today NOELIA other two units with 10 hours each processed aborted by the user, this is unacceptable and very little serious.
Now I am processing nathan two units, if these errors persist with these units, much lamentadolo definitely fails to process in this project, I'm paying a lot of money on electricity bills with the crisis there, that is useless after this effort.


Greetings.

All the Nathans and Tonis have run fine for me (both long and short), it seems to be just the Noelia longs (6.18). And the ones that failed have all done so early, in the first 10 seconds for me in the most recent batch. It looks to me that they will be able to catch the bug and fix it.

Last night I had a spontaneous reboot that took out 2 CPDN full resolution ocean models with over 250 hours each, that was a real bummer. I've had short NOELIA's fail too, I think she needs to borrow NATHAIN's magic wand!

I have a couple of GTX 660s that I am waiting to throw at it when they get it fixed.

You're holding out, eh? I've heard those are pretty good cards for this project. I'm paying about $180.00 a month for electricity here in the northern Sierra's (PG&E).

My electric bills are going down (amazingly) in eastern PA, due to the shale gas. It affects even the price of coal-fired power.

We are all hydro electric here and I have an airtight wood stove. That shale gas, is it found locally or is it like that tar sands crude found in Canada? I don't think I've heard of it before. Sorry to keep asking questions, I'm just curious about stuff like that.

Search for the Marcellus Shale, and you will find lots of info. It is throughout central PA, extending down into West Virginia and out to Ohio. Also, it goes up into New York state, but they have a moratorium on development due to pollution concerns. It is potentially a VERY big deal, though development will have to be monitored carefully.

And there is shale oil in North Dakota, and even in California.

That's fascinating stuff, I had no idea that they had made such a huge discovery that has that much potential and here I am asking you about it and one of the largest deposits is within 75 miles of me. Boy, I feel pretty stupid.

I remember back in the 80's, we had hundreds of off-shore wells and pumping stations and Californians voted a ban on them because they were considered an eyesore, not for environmental reasons, just an eyesore. All those millionaires that live on the coast didn't like looking at them through their 200 square foot plate glass windows.

Anyway, thanks for the info, I better stop asking these questions before a moderator asks me to stop posting off topic.

No NOELIA long tasks for me at present. All others appear to be OK.

With one Noelia long run this message was on the screen: acemd.2865P.exe has encountered a problem and must close.
However BOINC continued and requested a new task, a short one, that ran complete without error. I did nothing to intervene as I was not at home.
Was on a Vista 32 bit system with BOINC 6.10.58 and nVidia driver 314.7
Perhaps the newest OS's gives the problems?

Indeed of topic but interesting though. We have a lot of shale gas in the Netherlands as well and electricity bills should decline when using it. Most people however are afraid for quakes when it is exploited. That's all I say about this of topic. Apologies.

My first two Nathan longs took 6 hours 2 minutes and 6 hours 4 minutes on the GTX 660s, so that seems good to me. For comparison, the GTX 650 Ti took 9 hours 19 minutes, and GTX 560 took 9 hours 54 minutes. Those are only single-sample measurements, but that reflects the trend.

Hopefully the Noelia longs will do comparably well. (The Keplers don't do as well on some other distributed computing projects.)

Subsequent NATHAN tasks seem to be performing ok.
