error 403 - No ID?
(Message 22298)
Posted 4545 days ago by Otis11 Well here's the link to his posting - the rest of the information I have is via private chat... I asked him to take it back to the public thread. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?247370-Joining-GPUGrid-the-easy-way&p=4973380#post4973380 (sorry if linking like this isn't allowed... I don't see it in the rules so I'll assume it's fine for now.) I did tick the tick box "While computer is in use" under the processor usage tab, before rebooting. I verified this setting did stick, after capturing the above log. I wonder if this is a firewall problem or something. This is not a DIY install to clone another machine or whatever. C: is an SSD. I installed to D: to keep the disc writes on the mechanical D: drive....I run clean energy (among other things) on this machine. Don't know anything about this "network share" that was mentioned. I have boinc set to suspend when the computer is in use because this is my actual work workstation and I have to actually use it sometimes to do some work and I don't want BOINC to be noticed by me, or others. For the record, WCG has run flawlessly for about a month now. |

Posted 4546 days ago by Otis11 So a friend and teammate of mine is having a problem getting any WUs from this project. He get's error 403 and his computer has no project id as the log below shows. Unfortunately no one on our team was able to help him out with this, and as this is his first time joining GPUGrid he was having trouble starting a thread to get help, so here we are: 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Starting BOINC client version 6.12.34 for windows_x86_64 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Libraries: libcurl/7.21.6 OpenSSL/1.0.0d zlib/1.2.5 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Data directory: D:\Software\Another System Folder\Another Program Data\BOINC 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Running under account *deleted for anonymity* 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Processor: 8 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz [Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7] 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Processor: 256.00 KB cache 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss htt tm pni ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 syscall nx lm vmx smx tm2 popcnt aes pbe 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | OS: Microsoft Windows 7: Professional x64 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.01.7601.00) 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Memory: 15.98 GB physical, 39.98 GB virtual 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Disk: 465.76 GB total, 416.88 GB free 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Local time is UTC -4 hours 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | NVIDIA GPU 0: Quadro 2000 D (driver version 27589, CUDA version 4000, compute capability 2.1, 962MB, 320 GFLOPS peak) 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | GPUGRID | URL http://www.gpugrid.net/; Computer ID not assigned yet; resource share 100 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | World Community Grid | URL http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/; Computer ID 1720831; resource share 100 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | World Community Grid | General prefs: from World Community Grid (last modified 04-Oct-2011 21:37:44) 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | World Community Grid | Computer location: work 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | General prefs: using separate prefs for work 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Reading preferences override file 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Preferences: 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | max memory usage when active: 8183.09MB 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | max memory usage when idle: 14729.57MB 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | max disk usage: 10.00GB 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | don't compute while active 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | (to change preferences, visit the web site of an attached project, or select Preferences in the Manager) 10/14/2011 6:50:50 AM | | Not using a proxy 10/14/2011 6:50:51 AM | | Running CPU benchmarks 10/14/2011 6:50:51 AM | | Suspending computation - CPU benchmarks in progress 10/14/2011 6:50:51 AM | | Suspending network activity - computer is in use 10/14/2011 6:50:59 AM | | Resuming network activity 10/14/2011 6:50:59 AM | World Community Grid | Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks. 10/14/2011 6:50:59 AM | World Community Grid | Reporting 5 completed tasks, not requesting new tasks 10/14/2011 6:51:02 AM | | Suspending network activity - computer is in use 10/14/2011 6:51:07 AM | | Resuming network activity 10/14/2011 6:51:07 AM | World Community Grid | Scheduler request completed 10/14/2011 6:51:09 AM | | Suspending network activity - computer is in use 10/14/2011 6:51:14 AM | | Resuming network activity 10/14/2011 6:51:22 AM | | Benchmark results: 10/14/2011 6:51:22 AM | | Number of CPUs: 8 10/14/2011 6:51:22 AM | | 3313 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 10/14/2011 6:51:22 AM | | 12546 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU TIA for the help, Zach |

Posted 4692 days ago by Otis11 Just to be clear, CUDA3.1 requires drivers 256.xx or newer correct? Also how will this affect older cards? The fermi's should also become more efficient iirc? |

Posted 4705 days ago by Otis11 i notice them failing half way thu and some normal wu also. Do you have your card overclocked? What card is it? What error is it giving you? |

Posted 4717 days ago by Otis11 Just to follow up on this, I've logged my results for a while. On analysis it turns our the TONI WUs are short (12-13 Hours on a GTX 260) to be considered LONG_WUs but are claiming credit in line with what LONG_WUs should be getting(approx 35% higher than normal units) while the IBUCH WUs are in line with the quoted time for long WUs (16-19H on a GTX 260) but are claiming the same amount of points as their normal sized counterparts. Type...............Total time..........Claimed/Total TONI_AGG.....43,625.77..........0.81 TONI_AB1......46,400.62..........0.83 IBUCH_6........69,739.29..........0.61 IBUCH_7........62,840.91..........0.62 IBUCH_8........56,076.11..........0.63 IBUCH_9........70,151.36..........0.60 IBUCH_10......60,062.49..........0.61 Just thought I'd point this out. |

Card Problems
(Message 21015)
Posted 4727 days ago by Otis11 I have the XFX 260 (216 Cores) Black Edition and it fails tasks left and right. Do not try to run this card. (PS, its not the heat as it was sitting comfortably at 73-76 C. It can handle furmark until it cooks at 94+ C without crash but GPUGRID it just throws a tantrum. Well, I'd say give it a try. I've been running 2 260s (One EVGA and one MSI) for quite a while now and rarely get errors even heavily overclocked. I know a few other people have had issues with them, but worth a try IMO. |

(Message 21014)
Posted 4727 days ago by Otis11 IDK if this is the same situation, but I know even on a contained supercomputer where nothing is overclocked, they have occasional errors... sometimes it's due to errors in the code, and sometimes it's due to unexpected situations in the science they are investigating. The first they try to prevent as much as possible because it hurts they're performance (just like it hurts our points) and they need more performance than we can give them, and the later just comes with the territory. As a programmer I actually have to hand it to them. Programming applications like this is difficult enough. Pushing it across a distributive system just introduces more potential for difficulties. |

"No new work/too much work" problems
(Message 20967)
Posted 4732 days ago by Otis11 Well, the situation seems to have swung the other way: there is no work at all for both the acemdlong and the acemd2 apps. This is exactly why they had the low caches and short turnarounds... they have a limited number of WUs and need the current ones to make the next batch. Because it's all sitting in people queues, there is less work for us to do. Just let it ping the server for a few minutes and as soon as someone turns something in you should be able to grab one. Hope they fix this soon. In the mean time, lower your cache to .75 days to keep it about where it was before. With that you should have plenty of time to get the next WU before you complete the current one yet not stock up and make other people idle. If enough people do this we'll get back to normal operation until they fix this on the server side. |

Posted 4733 days ago by Otis11 you are unlikely to get back more leakage power than an average fan consumes. Really? That's quite interesting... I wouldn't have imagined the gain would be anywhere close. I'll have to look into that. |
