Hey guys,

I have put some new work on the long queue. These workunits are small and don't require any special algorithms, so should be no problems.

With these workunits, I'll be looking at the folding of a small peptide using a special force field. The biophysics community uses different force fields to represent the motions of proteins and other molecules, and we are attempting to test a new one so we can check some previous work and feel comfortable in work we are planning to do.

Happy crunching.

Nate

Thanks, how are the WUs identified: (NATHAN_???).

I'm currently running I62R8-NATHAN_KIDc22_2-0-8-RND1007.

KIDc22 is new to me: been running (steady progress) for nine hours on a GTX 670, and only reached 78%. That's hardly 'small' - in fact, the slowest I've seen.

I've finished 4 so far, GTX680 took 9 hours 40 minutes, GTX670 about 10 hours 167,550 points.

167k credits for 51k secs (small? ^^) on 570. Needs some cpu time too. Looks good to me.

I think Nathan's referring to some new ones, not the NATHAN_KID. That's why I asked the question above...

This is confusing, these are new to me, I never saw them until yesterday. He must be running 2 different kinds wu's, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

So will we all... :-)

Thanks for the interesting background information, Nathan! It's appreciated.

MrS

Thanks from me, too, Nate.

Thanks, Nate.

My 580 has little trouble finishing them in 24-hours, but my 460 takes about 25.5 hours to finish one. It would be nice to have WUs that finished on 460's in under 24 hours.

I received 3 running Linux. All ran fine and completed in about 11hr20min on a 660TI. I then booted into XP and ran 2 more. They also ran and completed without issue but actually finished them about 10 minutes faster than Linux. Love the credits.

Yes, the WUs are called NATHAN_KID... workunits. I should have mentioned that Initially. There will be some NEW new stuff soon as well, but I won't make a new post, but update here. There will also be a new batch of WUs coming from a new scientist that will go on the short queue. That will be announced in a new thread.

Ok, there are two groups from me on the grid right now:
NATHAN_KIDc22_2
NATHAN_KIDc22_SODcharge

So you guys know. The second group might run a little faster. You'll have to tell me.

I'm currently running http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=6905151

on a 660Ti @ 1137Mhz / 3019Mhz
and it's taking about 381 seconds per frame.
Which puts it at around 10.5 hours runtime.

kinda poor GPU usage at ~85%.

Great new units 98% gpu load on 570 with estimated 11,5 hours runtime.

The SOD WUs do run faster and they just barely allow a GTX 460 to slip under the 24 hour mark (if micromanaged).

I acknowledge the new NATHAN WUs, I'm about to finish I84R7-NATHAN_KIDc22_SODcharge-0-10-RND9833.

Runtime, just above 18h on a GTX 650TI on Linux x86_64.

Nice-behaving, these NATHANs! Keep 'em coming, Nate!

The SOD WUs do run faster and they just barely allow a GTX 460 to slip under the 24 hour mark (if micromanaged).

Do what I just did: replaced my GTX 460 with a GTX 660. You'll sleep easy!

Some of us are retired and on fixed incomes.

BTW: congrats on your GTX 660, it's a nice card.

I'm getting system restarts while running NATHAN_KIDc22 WU's on XP-x86.
The only other app I have running is WUProp (NCI).
The tasks are recovering however.

It eventually finished successfully (and I beat the 24hr deadline by 12 minutes!).

Ahh, the thrill of sending your WU in within the 24h window!!

A different type of problem this time:
The WU ran for 29h but had only reached 30%. There was an acemd.2865P.exe pop-up error sitting on the screen when I checked. I exited Boinc, restarted and got the same error, however the Elapsed time now told me that the WU had only run for ~5h30min.

I have had two WU with the same error:

I36R2-NATHAN_KIDc22_2-3-8-RND5161_8

Run time 11.7 seconds. CPU time 0.55 seconds.

There are seven other error reports on this WU all with very small CPU times.

and an older one

I55R4-NATHAN_KIDc22_SODcharge-1-10-RND5713_0

Run time 140.58 seconds. CPU time 99.79 seconds.
There is no other error reports and one completion report for this WU.

I have to go, so up for comments. I will not be able to do anything untill tomorrow morning.

Something must be wrong with this WU, it has failed on another host:

In the case of the GTX570, it's most likely that the GPU clocks dropped, but these were not reported, and neither was whether the system is set to prefer maximum performance, or how much the of CPU was being used...

Oh, and I just noticed the up-load file does have a size of 107.88 MB (so more or less the double as before), therefore it will take quite a while until it is up-loaded, as my internet connection will brake several times and will end up with the famous 5 hours brakes between each up-load try.

The computer it failed on was a titan (which cannot run these WU's):

Coprocessors NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (4095MB) driver: 314.22

The strange WU is up-loaded: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=6930954

All seems normal. Only that it took nearly twice as long: 101,479.54 s
Stderr output: 57186.919 s

The next WU crashed, because of a electricity cut.

I will inform about the next WU after it's finished.

I've completed 18 NATHAN_KIDc22s, nine of the SODcharge variety for 134000 credits each, and nine of the RND variety for 167500 credits each EXCEPT...

The RND that completed this morning, well within 24 hours, gave 111700 credits:

http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=6933145

That was a surprise!

Your 2nd wingman handed the WU in after it got sent to you, but before you could send your in. In this case the bonus credit doesn't trigger for both of you, sadly an old problem. MrS

FYI, there are two new batches of simulations that are among the same research project I just sent out yesterday and today. Names are NATHAN_KIDc22_full and NATHAN_KIDc22_noPhos.

Boy, this place is turning in to you're own private Idaho, nobody else wants to run work units? Not that there's anything wrong with yours.

After 23 successful Nathan_KIDc22s, I just got an error on my first noPhos, after 8h29m:

http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=6944425

Just finished my first noPhos. Looks like no problemo.

http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=6944390

Yes 5 phos done, no problems.

I was working on two Nathan Phos WU's. After 16 hours and 99,617% done freezes my computer.

@#$%^&*@#$%^&@#$%^&#$%^& :'( not funny!!! :@

Why not? because it isn't the first time, no it is the third week have those problems. Only with GPUGRID for what I know... and it is very annoying.
From anger I've after restart all GPUGRID tasks aborted in BOINC, that is what you see at the task/client status now... -_-'


Last WU: http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4514859
Second last WU: http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=4514763[/url]

Why do you guys hide you're computers? I've never been able to figure that out, I haven't had any lockups in a while on any of my 4 rigs, couldn't say what the problem is with yours. I disabled my onboard USB 3.0 and all my issue's went away.

I was working on two Nathan Phos WU's. After 16 hours and 99,617% done freezes my computer.

What do you mean by that, did you run 2 WUs concurrently? If so be aware that you're alpha testing that functionality. It's not suggested or approved by the project in any way, so do it at your own risk.

MrS

The NATHAN_KIDc22_noPhos WU's take ~12h on a GTX660. Some finish under 12h on GTX570's on Linux but others are ~13.6h on W7.
Either 2 GPU's running slow (most likely) or one GPU running 2 WU's fast until they crash (less likely). Quite a few failures on that system though,
http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=152224&offset=0&show_names=1&state=0&appid=

Higher voltage even now when I've lowered the speeds?
My PSU is good (Corsair AX850) and stable for what I know.

All the hardware runs at a benchtable, in open air... I've cleaned all components before I started end May with folding again. Removal of dust, new cooling paste, etc...

With the same hardware I'm running Primegrid, PPS Sieve CUDA based and Genefer GFN CUDA. That's a higher load then GPUGRID (99% vs 80-85%). Only 1 GFN task had an error last week (by my own fault), 1 of 6 tasks... But I'm going to monitor if it occurs more frequently in GFN than I thought, so we could exclude what the problem is (my computer or any folding program).

Boy, this place is turning in to you're own private Idaho, nobody else wants to run work units? Not that there's anything wrong with yours.

I'm back! :D
PrimeGrid challenge has finished and lightning storms are gone for now... so we can maybe fold again. ;-)

Before of all above I've runned last week eight GFN cuda tasks (12 hours per WU) and a few (20 or so) PPS Sieve tasks. All tasks are succesfull finished, so I don't think my computer is the problem of all WU errors at GPUGRID. But it's still strange in my opinion why PG WU's can finish completely and tasks from GPUGRID don't.

We have every time a new biological system, often including new functions.

I haven't had any issues with nathan tasks. My 680s clear them in around 8-10 hours depending on the WU.

Ouch.

My 660 has been knocking them off in about 39,500 seconds (just under 11 hours).

It is all down to my Win 7 vs, your Ubuntu, or is something else in play here?

It might be worth trying to boot off a USB flash drive with Linux and run a WU or two to compare the difference on your setup.

Additionally, I have an Asus 660 OC that I believe runs at 1020 MHz and 1085 MHz boost.

It's your driver, that's the first thing mentioned. Just when you call IT with a problem, the first thing they jell is: did you reboot?

By the way my 770 in the AMD finished a Santi that failed on your 770, same driver though.

The last 5 Noelia's I got, finished all without error. I like to take them all...

Yes, I reboot all them once at day at least. Well then there is a problem with 320.49 and noelias, because it works with the other units. The problem is: no other drive will work with the 3x690 rig, and the one with 2x690+1x770 have issues aswell, but at least other drivers will recognize all the gpus.
Other drivers will lead to all sort of problems, including heat control and stability, things that i can´t leave behind.
So noelias are no option for me, sad.
