Hello Toi

Any idea when it will be solved ?
I have a few WU to run, so long problem is not solved, they crash, but also unable to get new one due to host limitation.
And the WU I have are close deadline ...

With hope you will let us know when we can start again

Best regards

Ah ah ah !!! Good Idea, but such 'scrap' keys are not on ebay.

It is not our key who have problem. It is server licence of project it self !

An official, worldwide, serious research PRJ who already weeks know it will happens, do as good as nothing !

And now, because th amount of WU by host, all is blocked !
The PRJ blocked it self !!!
Normally, I get 4 WU at once. And are returned within 2 days.
Now , host (event log) says computer has finish a dayly quota of 1 task.
Of course. Each task in error decrease amount of downable task !
Next step will be "....quota of zero" ???

Or perhaps PRJ want to remove Windows hosts ???

Only Admin can anser, but nothing !!!
Only " we know and we appologize".
Nice.

When a solution ???
Or perhaps they not need us anymore ?
Answer is only known by admin...

Another thread indicates that WUs still run on Windows XP hosts, but not on those with Linux or more recent versions of Windows. The license for the XP version is expected to last a little while longer before it also expires.

Someone on the project team wrote that a fix is expected to come only when the ACEMD 3 application is ready, which will not need these licenses. If so that version will be hard to test against the current version that need licenses.

Users might make sure that they are signed up to run ACEMD 3 when it is available, and therefore help beta test this new application.

Would be great if someone from the team could tell us when the XP license will expire.
Not that we could do much against it, but at least we would know.

The licenses have obviously expired for the applications sent to users (except for the XP version), but have they also expired for the server programs used to generate those applications?

What happens if tho same procedures used to generate the user applications are tried again, with no changes other than the version numbers of the user applications?

They didn't tell us the results, though.

Also, they could create a few test workunits with the current application and with more output enabled as the application starts to help pin down which item the application is built from contains the expired license, if they don't already know.

Also, I haven't seen it mentioned whether a computer running Windows Vista would try to run the XP version or the newer Windows version. If no one knows, I have a computer that is probably suitable for testing this, but I cannot run that computer at the same time as the computer I'd otherwise be using.

This isn't the 1st time this license has expired. I think last year it did as well. They know what which license expired.

Hello mmonnin,
I had also the same impression.
But because I manage all PRJ of all users of my team, I was not more sure.

And still not any reaction of admin.
The worst, is that they still send WU who will always crash...
With results that all produced WU will comes in full error due
to the max# of error/total/success who is set by projet on 7 , 10 , 6

The XP app still works (who knows for how long).

I now have an application running. A rather bad initial runtime estimate, but that is typical for new versions. Likely to finish in the next 5 hours. Running under Windows 10 Pro.

You are incorrect. The same thing happened last year and in May for the Linux version. The same problem is not limited to Windows. Toni didn't acknowledge it here but did in May. That's what I was pointing out.

Exclude the Boinc directories from your a/v as it's a false positive, any real virus will try to infect other files on your computer and be flagged. Boinc doesn't really have viruses, the units come from Servers and that would be bad for business so they are all well protected. What Boinc does have is alot of back and forth communication between the Servers and our pc's making it LOOK like activity a virus might do so the 'heuristics' in all a/v programs now sometimes flag it.

you need to differentiate between the various BOINC projects.
While, for example, some sub-projects of LHC (like CMS) does indeed send back and forth a lot of data all the time, this is not true for GPUGRID. Once a task has been downloaded and started crunching, there is no such additional data transmission until the task is finished and being uploaded.
So GPUGRID crunching should not induce a false A/V alarm (at least not on basis of an unusual high data traffic).

Have none of the project team tried rebuilding the current Linux application with no change except a new version number?

If one has, what went wrong?

Have none of the project team tried rebuilding the current Linux application with no change except a new version number?

If one has, what went wrong?

Why do they need to rebuild? The latest 2.03(CUDA80) and 2.04(CUDA100) acemd3 apps worked fine on all the test WU's.

Just release the bloody work units!

So I see the Windows folks got another year of license on their acemd2 app.

So why don't we Linux users get work for our tested acemd3 app so we can crunch too?

WHY aren't they offering Linux workunits? I'm assuming that it is because the latest Linux applications no longer work, but you appear to be assuming that it is some other reason.

Did you not run the acemd3 test WU's back in July when the new acemd3 apps were released as beta?

I did. And successfully processed every one of them on all my cards including my RTX 2080's.

If you did not change your GPUGrid Preferences to allow the beta acemd3 app then you did not test the app and receive it from the project.

https://www.gpugrid.net/prefs.php?subset=project

I did and got the app and the test WU's. All they need to do is either continue releasing the test WU's for the beta app or move it out of the beta category to the main apps category.

The acemd3 wrapper app for Linux hosts plain works.

The pertinent threads are:
New app update (acemd3)
Testing acemd3 windows

I have all the Windows 10 applications enabled, but I have no record of whether I got any acemd3 tasks or not.

You seem to be assuming that the server application for creating acemd2 tasks can create acemd3 tasks also with no programmer to update that server application first. We may need to wait for more of the project team to return from their August vacations to find out if that is correct or not.

Acemd3 uses OpenMM does it not? It is probably version 7.2 by now. That is the same one that Folding@Home is testing now for Core_22. And they are having problems that need fixing.

I wonder if they are related?

The license use with acemd2 just needs renewed on Linux. It expired before Windows but has yet to be renewed. Year after year this happens.

But Toni indicated they wanted to get away from this yearly license renewal garbage they have to deal with and just release the apps as BOINC wrapper apps that take care of themselves.

All they have to do is release work for the acemd3 app we already have. That work would be labeled for the acemd3 app.

Or go ahead and renew the acemd2 license for the old acemd2 Linux app. Why are Linux hosts being punished with no work?

Correct. Delay is just a lack of time due to other projects (lots of quality time must be allotted for addressing scheduler mysteries and follow-up problems).

Keith, do not get impatient. We knew, that the lack of WUs would be for several months...

My old GTX 670 is getting some “breadcrumbs” from time to time… and all my LINUX computers help other projects at the moment – they are happy about that, I assume.

My personal conclusion about the lack on GRIDCOIN WUs is again, I should not invest in “special” computer parts just for crunching BOINC. I hope I will remember this, the next time I stand in a computer shop...

Well my frustration wouldn't be so high if there were no work units for anybody once all the licenses ran out. But since Windows hosts get work now because they got a new license but we did not, I come to the conclusion that Linux hosts are considered second class citizens not deemed worthy of attention.

Also, we know the acemd3 wrapper app works. So why no work for a proven system?

I am finishing up the WOW contest tomorrow upon which time all my hosts would normally go into massive catch up mode for all my other projects. But no, that isn't going to happen with GPUGrid is it?

I've forgotten which BOINC recently found problems with the 436 driver. However, you might ask Folder@Home to check whether their problems are also related to the 436 driver.

I got a GPUGRID task today, so the Windows portion of the problem might now be workunits not being created as fast as the users become ready for them.

This sounds to me like Toni has:
