I checked the boinc project website last night and it said that Boinc was down. This is probably the reason gpugrid was down. Also, I don't know if anybody's said this but my upload was pending saying "project backoff" something like that. | |

I can't seem to find any reason for the down time nor an apology for it. | |

Hope this is helpful -Logan Logan, the BOINC site being down has nothing to do with GPUGrid. Apparently the GPUGrid server crashed during the weekend and nobody noticed. It sure did create a crazy backlog of WUs trying to upload. :-( | |

The timing must have been just right then, haha. My assumption is rather that the scientists might have taken the weekend off and maybe that's why it wasn't noticed right away. We all need to step away from our jobs sometimes, so maybe that's what they did. Either way, the website is back up and that's all that counts, right? Let's all try to think positively about these situations. Also if this website was down for much longer, check gpugrid's twitter account. They post useful stuff there. I have no intention of lecturing if it appears that way. I'm just trying to make positive vibes :) ____________ Cruncher/Learner in progress. | |

I am asking just out of curiosity: what was the reason for this lenghty outage? I would like to know as well. And somehow, I received 5 ghost units during this outage! | |

No problem if the scientists themselves had taken the weekend off, they have produced plenty of WUs during last week anyway. However, I was a little surprised that there was not even one IT person at least in any kind of standby and would have noticed already on Saturday evening that there was a problem that got even worse by Sunday morning. | |

There was a server crash. Sometimes it can take us a day to notice if we are not currently actively monitoring everything. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by it. Maybe best send us a mail if it happens again. | |

I had two BNBS2 WUs run for 100k+ seconds and had a validation error, can anyone explain this? | |

I had two BNBS2 WUs run for 100k+ seconds and had a validation error, can anyone explain this? Perhaps your host had a power outage, and these GPUGrid tasks restarted from 0%. In such cases it is practical to abort the workunits manually, as there's no point in spending time and electricity crunching them. Here's two excerpts from the stderr.txt of your failed tasks: 1st: # GPU 2 : 73C
# GPU [GeForce GTX 970] Platform [Windows] Rev [3212] VERSION [65]
# SWAN Device 0 :
# Name : GeForce GTX 970 2nd: # GPU 0 : 73C
# GPU [GeForce GTX 690] Platform [Windows] Rev [3212] VERSION [65]
# SWAN Device 1 :
# Name : GeForce GTX 690 Note that there's no line explaining the reason to the exit from the application between the 1st and the 2nd line, which is usually the sign of a dirty shutdown. | |

How did you get that information zoltan? I've been curious to see some of your WUs Every host computer have a list of workunits. If you click on the ID (or name in other view, it's the first column of the tasklist) of a finished task, you can see detailed information of the given task, and the second part is the "stderr output" which is generated by the task while it is running. | |
