Computational Error

Posted 5461 days ago by mscharmack I'd rather have a workunit dump at the begining rather than after it has completed its processing and is reported back to Grid servers. It was a waste of computing power and time. |

Computational Error

Posted 5461 days ago by mscharmack 51-KASHIF_HIVPR_dim_ba1-2-100-RND4878_1 53+ hours of continuous computing, computer finishes the workunit, only to report a "COMPUTATIONAL ERROR" and the big fat "0" points awarded. Looks like I'm going to have to abort these longer workunits in the future. It's not worth the frustration of a computational error.

Posted 5464 days ago by mscharmack Maybe I should have said "some problems' onstead of "a problem." Bad choice of words on my part. However, these problems have not manifested themselves on my computers that are not using CUDA. |

Posted 5464 days ago by mscharmack Well, I reverted back to BOINC 6.4.7 and everything has been running properly for the last two days. No problems to report at all. In my opinion there is a problem in the BOINC 6.6.20 code as it is applied to GPU/CUDA functions. BOINC 6.6.20 runs fine on my other computers, however they are not running GPU/CUDA functions. |

Posted 5465 days ago by mscharmack I got this error message: This error usually pops up with an incompatible/or non-CUDA video card. |

Have work units gotten longer????
(Message 9144)
Posted 5465 days ago by mscharmack Yes, I just completed one of them long ones, almost 54 hours of continuous processing on a 9600 GSO video card. No hope of any bonus because of the length of time to complete (still I got 8000+ for it). Looks like I'm going to have to update my video cards. |

Posted 5467 days ago by mscharmack Reverted back to 6.4.7 today. The system seems to be much more stable than under 6.6.20. I will keep it there for a few days and check out the results. |

Posted 5467 days ago by mscharmack I've had that done to me also, 90% plus (about 18 hours work) done and chopped off at the knees. A big fat "GOOSE EGG" for the credit. I've started to abort work units where the initial replication is more than "1" |

GPU work units [network connection issue]
(Message 8939)
Posted 5469 days ago by mscharmack I don't think its a problem with the Windows setup. This is just a recent problem and it only happens when the internet in the area goes down. It has gone down three times in the last month and the two work units being processed at the time crashed and burned. The onlt problem I can think of ia a bug in BOINC Application 6.6.20 files (which was also installed about the time the problems started). I will revert back to a previous version and see what happens. I am also running the most current nvidia drivers for the video cards. |

Posted 5471 days ago by mscharmack Thanks for the info, I'll shut down the internet connection next time and let the application continue to process. |
