I should have deprecated the current one, so at least it does not get out.

Yes, no point in wasting download bandwidth and gpu resources on tasks that error out immediately.

Whew! Glad it's not my machine... I was up to hundreds of days of uptime and removed/reinstalled all of BOINC - then restarted, thinking something was really gummed up on my end ;P Glad there'll be a new app soon for Linux. Thanks!

My last successful Long Run was 30 Jan. I keep getting messages about Long Runs failing to execute when there are ZERO Long Runs present on the server

It should have been deprecated from the short runs as well. It took me by surprise that short tasks are present on my hosts, which have failed before on Linux hosts (but after this issue have been recognized).

I was surprised to see short tasks today. I had never seen them before. They failed with the same exit code as the long tasks. Didn't realize they used the same application.

My understanding was that the developer for the Linux gpu apps was out or unavailable last week but expected to return this week.

I will have to keep bumping this thread if I do not see the new application executable by the end of the week.

I have uploaded a new linux version of the old app. But we are also expecting to deploy a new app soon with faster performance.


the current new linux version is 919. Let me know if it works.

No, it will be automatically downloaded when you receive a new task.

Has anyone received any GPU tasks on linux yet? I'm currently running Quantum Chemistry tasks and when I request new work I get the following:

Wed 14 Feb 2018 09:28:49 AM EST | GPUGRID | update requested by user
Wed 14 Feb 2018 09:28:52 AM EST | GPUGRID | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
Wed 14 Feb 2018 09:28:52 AM EST | GPUGRID | Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA GPU

Wed 14 Feb 2018 09:28:54 AM EST | GPUGRID | This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress


There's no mention of short or long GPU tasks being available or not.

Is there anything in my app_config file that is preventing me from getting GPU tasks?

<app_config>
<app>
<name>acemdlong</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>

<plan_class>mt</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>4</avg_ncpus>
<cmdline>--nthreads 4</cmdline>
</app_version>
</app_config>


I know GPU tasks are rare but I'm just trying to confirm I've got everything set correctly.

I am getting the same message every time boinc requests gpu tasks for my 3 gpu capable machines. I haven't received any gpu work since the announcement of linux v9.19. I suspect that gpu work is so scarce right now it's hard to get any.

You are probably right.

I'm a little concerned about the line stating "this computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress". Does that mean both CPU and GPU tasks or just CPU Quantum Chemistry tasks?

Time will tell I guess.

I suspect that line refers to CPU work in this case. My GPU's were all asking for xxxxxx seconds of work because I had none but no tasks were downloaded because none were available at the asking time.

Are these the same type of tasks? All the credit values are different. By what was said I was expecting the exact same app, same performance, same results. Just with a refreshed license/exe.

The developer said the new application would be faster along with fixing the expired license issue.

Message 48926

I suspect the newer app already got the proposed speedup. The developer will have to comment if that is actually the case.

That is a separate app. The refresh is the same. Check the server status and apps page for an app called "New version of ACEMD" which I'm guessing new app coming soon part. Been around too many apps so know that 'soon' is not the next day or even next week.

I did complete one for the 252,750 normal credit. 6 others were something different besides the 111k, 252k, 387k tasks we had been getting for awhile.

And I was seeing much lower credit/hr than better anyway. Same GTX 970.
23,402.30 23,335.39 96,300.00
22,216.21 22,108.95 111,300.00

I've looked at that apps page before and the one labelled "New version of ACEMD" is dated January of 2017.

The 9.19 version we just got would be much newer release obviously and its original release date for the previous 9.14 version was April of 2017. So again newer.

I wonder if the different allocation of credit has anything to do with molecule size like was explained how the credit for the QC tasks is awarded.
