Hi,

I'm seeing this happening with the last dowloaded units, wingmen also have the same error

"process exited with code 212 (0xd4, -44)"

Not sure but it could be only for linux WUs

Yes, there seems to be a batch of WUs, that are failing on previously reliable Linux machines and some mostly bad windows hosts, but they are running fine on my windows computers. One has already completed successfully at this time.

On my Windows 7 machine, (I7-3770, GTX 980) I currently had ~10 GERALD WU (more in the cue and still comming in) that were running @ less then %1 GPU usage (according to GPU-Z) while the progress in the BOINC manager appeared to be normal/a little slow (~15 hour estimation per WU). All these WU suddenly disappeared from the BOINC manager without any error massage and also without showing up in my results in my GPUGRID stats. Certainly there is something flawed with these WUs!

I missed the other WUs, but right now this happened to the WU:

e14s27_e9s23p1f368-GERARD_CXCL12_DIM_HEP_GLYCAM-0-1-RND5008

This WU was running @ <1% GPU usage but at close to normal progress speed, however it was restarting every ~10 hours or so. I now cancelled this WU, and the next one in my cue seems to work normally again (e13s16_e8s26p11f203-GERARD_CXCL12_DIMPROTO3-0-1-RND2849; estimated time ~12 hours, 82% GPU usage)

So how many errors did you get recently? If it's a small number, you could attribute that to running into the occasional bad WU. If you have a lot more, than it's more than just a linux problem.

For the record, I have 2 errors since the new year. All WUs on my machines are currently running okay and I hope it stays that way!. So, I would say that I ran into 2 bad WUs.

I've found the same behavior in my linux hosts, in WUs received since Jan-02-2016 past midday.
Consequently, statistics are getting worse, possibly due to those failing linux WUs...
This can be seen at the bottom of "Server status" page.

https://www.gpugrid.net/server_status.php

On Jan-02-2016 at 22:41 UTC, the medium error rate over the 25 kinds of WUs in progress was 20,9952 %
This has increased to 25,7552 % at 11:44 UTC on Jan-03-2016.

I have four errors recently. It's a bit more than usual. The two aborted WUs are my fault.

I haven't seen the problem yet on a pair of GTX 960s.
https://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=194224&offset=0&show_names=0&state=0&appid=

I had originally boosted the P2 memory clock as per ETA's suggestion (https://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=11044), but saw a few "simulation unstable" messages, though I don't think they led to actual errors at that point. But that was a little to close to the edge for me, so I removed that boost and the cards are back to factory default, which is not much of an overclock on these MSI 2GD5T OC cards. Maybe that keeps them stable on the most difficult work units.

Hello , I'm using ubuntu 14.04 lts. Gerard-WU's stopped after 1 second and were uploaded. "Output file was absent" for four files at a time. I did some collatz conjecture earlier today but I guess that didn't mess up my computer as others are having problems too.

Since 16:48 UTC on the second of January, my Linux host(206986) has failed all WU's it has received. My 2 Windows hosts are working as usual. A quick look through the task lists for the top 10 users shows the same pattern. Has anyone come up with a theory as to what is happening? In the meantime I have set that host to NNT to avoid causing any congestion at the server-side.

WU e15s19_e14s24p1f286-GERARD_CXCL12_DIMPROTO3-0-1-RND3500_2 has been stuck at '85% "progress" ' for some 12 hours now.
I only have a 640, so WUs take 40-60 hours generally.
This task has already run for 69:58.
is this part of a defective batch?
How many more hours should I sacrifice for this WU?
I am presuming that if I abort it, there will be zero credit for these 70 hours (even if it is a flawed WU?)

I Run Win 7 on my HP-1120, i7-2600. (I am NOT going to 'upgrade' to Win 10 for months, until (I hope) MS gets all the garbage in Win8-10 patched up.)

Please advise.

Meanwhile I have paused it and am putting my GPU to better use.

Thanks.

Still having issues getting tasks to download all the files needed to run. From event log.

After 5 attempts and 30inutes the last file did finally download.
EDIT: Second task downloaded and is running. Stay tuned.

Yes. It had previously errored out on a Linux machine with 0 runtime and a Windows machine after about 60 minutes of run time. I have also received 6 more since that one that have completed and currently have 2 more in progress. For me all the version 8.4.1 tasks error out. Version 8.4.7 tasks seem to run fine with only an occasional error and unfortunately they run for hours before they go south.

No, don't be a jerk. This has been a known problem with a known cause for a week now and no one has bothered to fix it.

For many years there was a significant performance boost when crunching with Linux at this project. The developers actually recommended that you crunch with Linux. Many of us have dedicated Linux hosts to this project due to that fact. Now my Linux hosts are having to crunch mathematics crap and look for pulsars to keep my house warm.

Could someone please fix this?

For many years there was a significant performance boost when crunching with Linux at this project. The developers actually recommended that you crunch with Linux. Many of us have dedicated Linux hosts to this project due to that fact. Now my Linux hosts are having to crunch mathematics crap and look for pulsars to keep my house warm.

Could someone please fix this?

No nap and lost your sense of humor? Go look in a mirror and take a chill pill man. This ain't life or death and GPUGrid doesn't revolve around you.

Guys! Matt is trying to fix it, see https://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=4235 . Apparently the solution must not be trivial. Please be patient!

Now I am getting this same "linux" error on my both my windows machines.

Also, when I downloaded a new unit, and I suspended a good unit to test the new unit. The new unit would crash, and when I resumed the previously good unit, it also crashed.

Or I fell asleep at the keyboard. ;-)

FWIW most of the tasks I'm getting are resends that have failed at least once on a Linux host. So far they have all run to completion on my host. Win7, Xeon E5 2683, twin GTX 970. Along with GPUGrid tasks I'm also running a full load of CPU tasks minus 2 threads each for the cards if that means anything.

Six errors in the last day on Windows, so has nothing to do with the Linux app.
Also the site is very slow at the moment.

Matt,
Is it just me or are others having download issues? From logs:

I'm only having this issue here. Sometimes it takes hours to get all the files for 1 task to run.

Across 5 computers, all windows ranging from 7, 8.1, and 10, I have had about 130 errored out WUs in the past 24-30 hours. Over 100 of them are 0.00 second errors and the other 30 or so are with time put in. One of the computers crashed to an unrecoverable crash and needed manual assistance in the BIOS then the OS to get it back to a good state and running again. This caused aborted WUs or was caused by WUs. I didn't get a chance to check logs and drivers and recent updates and stuff, I just got it running again and walked away frustrated.

I did notice all my Windows machines have wanted or done reboots for several Windows Updates, some having to do with drivers such as power management, but most the general ominous "Update to Windows" or "Security Update for Windows" that you need to actual read KB articles to find out what they were. I am pretty sure they all wanted at least one if not two reboots in the past 7 days. I am not sure if this is significant to any issue with errored WUs, but I would suppose it would be more than just me if it was.

I did notice two of the tasks (GERARD_CXCL12_FXCHALC4_DIM and GERARD_CXCL12_FXCHALC4_MON) had a 100% error rate, so I manually aborted about 5 of them at less than an hour into them. They might have been fixed and actually finished, but it was a gut reaction. Before these recent errors I was hovering around 28-32 errors for all of the computers combined, so coming in to see 160 today was a shock. Then seeing they didn't even spend time to crunch eased my fears a bit that it was something totally on my end.

Hope this all works out and after all WUs are going to error out occasionally and bad bathes get released and fixed in every project since distributed computing began. But if there is something I can do on my end to help decrease these errors, let me know that too.

I am not sure if this is significant to any issue with errored WUs, but I would suppose it would be more than just me if it was.

Maybe a huge coincidence and maybe not, another one of my computers died and would not reboot to anything but the BIOS. The one mentioned above is a Windows 7 and this one was a Windows 10, but both have the same processor (i7-4790K) and motherboard (Asus Z97-AR). Both are just about 11 months old. The first one I was able to default the BIOS, then got it to start in Safe Mode, then without making changes it was able to reboot back to full windows with no problems. This one stick of memory went bad but even with completely replaced memory, it needed BOINC completely uninstalled and all traces deleted to get it running outside of Safe Mode. I had to disable BOINC from starting with Sysinternals Autoruns, then uninstall and delete in full mode. After that I reinstalled BOINC and added the projects again. It simply would not start again and not freeze until the full deletion. I suspect it was the actual WUs it was crunching that were marked as abandoned when I did that deletion of the Program Data BOINC folder.

At first I didn't post here about it because when I found it was a bad memory stick keeping it from starting, I suspected the power issue we had at the house that day. And the memory may very well have been from the power issue. But the not starting until I dumped BOINC, but had several restarts with it disabled, then froze as soon as I started BOINC manually several times, And even after uninstallations of BOINC and all the NVIDIA drivers and services, I narrowed the problem down to BOINC to the point of the freezing. Inside that, I can only suspect the exact reason. I know that memory crashes can cause programs to 'break' if part of the program is still in memory at the time of the crash and not recoverable, but with BOINC's checkpoints, I would suspect this not a problem after a reinstall if the program itself was damaged, the WU it was crunching should go back to the most recent checkpoint and continue on.

As this is an old subject now related to a specific batch of WUs, this may be a moot point, but thought it worth a late mention. Just in case there are still these units roaming around and computers that run or ran into problems than may only be found late also, this can serve as maybe some answer and possibly a solution (with the Autoruns in Safe Mode [With Networking if you need to download it, found with a google search "Sysinternals Autoruns"]).

And as always, any feedback, if this can help fix an issue or you can help me avoid them, is appreciated. And if I can confirm or help deny and suspicions on something I forgot to mention or may be able to answer, please also offer questions.

Non stop successful work all month for me. I can't see your machines to see if there is a useful error message since you have them hidden.

Have you tried resetting the project? That sometimes clears up http errors.

I'll unhide my machines but I don't see how that will help. The error message is always the same. Rebooting/resetting doesn't help. Here are the latest 2.

I've seen this occasionally, but as far as I know have not had files stuck trying to download for hours as was mentioned in another thread. When I've seen it before it resolved in a few minutes. Tonight I observed a couple tasks stuck (probably around ten files in total), with a backoff time of one hour and 45 minutes. I manually tried downloading again and most of them completed, but a couple hung with the http transient error. I still have one file left which I guess will eventually finish. All my cards are busy so it's not a problem right now.

Interestingly I had no problems uploading a completed job while this was happening.

You are right. There is nothing I can see from your tasks that would explain the errors. All your task list shows are the successful tasks, not the ones that it could not download.

I can't offer any suggestions to find out where the issue is in the network. I can only tell you that everything in my path from my machine to GPUGrid does not exhibit that behavior any more. It did for a while a few weeks back, but it seems to have resolved itself with no action on my part.

You are right. There is nothing I can see from your tasks that would explain the errors. All your task list shows are the successful tasks, not the ones that it could not download.

They all eventually download and run to completion. It's waiting for hours while the downloads are stuck that is the issue.

I can't offer any suggestions to find out where the issue is in the network. I can only tell you that everything in my path from my machine to GPUGrid does not exhibit that behavior any more. It did for a while a few weeks back, but it seems to have resolved itself with no action on my part.

I wish the issue would "resolve itself" but so far that has not happened.
