Multiple projects on the PS3

Posted 6102 days ago by Dotsch I need someone to get the SETI app working, in order to have a real backup plan. I wonder that your did not get any response at the SETI thread. Eventualy a bump with a reminder that it is a persitant problem could help. - Btw. have you verified, that it crashes on more than one WU ? - Sometimes at SETI it could be that some corrupt WUs are getting around, but I think a crash with a exit code 131 is a application failure/problem... Also, eventualy helps to ask, if you can get the older version from Guarav which was based on the offical SETI sources. There is also a native PPC Linux SETI application available (http://www.lb.shuttle.de/apastron/boincDown.shtml#gnuppc), which did not use the SPEs, and thought for normal PPC/Power CPUs at Linux. I think they should work (slow) at the PS3. If not please PM me, that I can contact Stefan. I hope, that the SIMAP example is a starting point for the other projects, and that they see, that a native Linux PPC application also could used at the PS3. Btw. is there a documentaion at the web available which describes what must be changed in the sources to make usage of the SPEs ? |

Posted 6117 days ago by Dotsch Eric, the ldd output look good. I think it is a application related problem. I hope, that Guarav could help you. |

Posted 6118 days ago by Dotsch Strange, aborted with exit code 131. Ups. Sorry I meaned you have to substitude $BOINCDIR to the directory where you BOINC client is installed. For example BOINC is installed in /opt/boinc you have to type \"ldd /opt/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/seti*\". Other solution : cd in the directory where BOINC is installed is and issue \"ldd projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/seti* |

Posted 6118 days ago by Dotsch I tried downloading the latest linux package, and copying the boinc_cmd executable into my BOINC dir. When trying to run it, I get \"./boinc_cmd: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.\" I tried again with the 64 bit linux package with the same result. Both were the 5.10.8 versions. This messages are OK. The PS3 and x86 Linux are complete diffrent architectures. The PS3 is based on the Power/Power PPC architecture, and so you can not let running binaries for the x86 architecture on the PS3. Anyway, I successfully downloaded a result, and it failed after 5 seconds. The result is here if anyone wants to look at it:... Strange, aborted with exit code 131. Can you please post the output of the command \"ldd $BOINCDIR/projects/seti*\" -> change $BOINCDIR in the directory where BOINC is installed. |

Posted 6118 days ago by Dotsch Heres the error I got I think it is the best to post this failure at the SETI PS3 thread to look what\'s going wrong. |

Posted 6118 days ago by Dotsch Hmmm. Thanks for all the feedback. All the permissions and locations are correct. I\'ll mess around with it some more once I am done crunching the PS3GRID WUs in my queue. Yery strange. Could you please post the messages from a complete restart of the BOINC client till the error message happens. If this would not work, we should enable the debuging of the BOINC client, to see what\'s going wrong on your system. |

If the app_info.xml is in the projects/setiathome... directory, it should readen by every BOINC client and use the described application in the app_info.xml. This should also work with the PS3 GRID BOINC client. But, it is strange, that you get the platform not found message. This is an indicator, that the BOINC client did not see the app_info.xml or have some problems with it. - Is the app_info.xml readable for the user under which BOINC run ? - Also, is the projects/setiathome... directory read and executable for the user under which BOINC is running ? Another thing I read is, that the PS3 SETI app is in Alpha, and actually very slow, compared to the crunching power the Cell processor has... As the first step, it is a very good improvment for SETI and the PS3 users. I think a \"slow\" application is better than none. The porting to the PS3 to utilize full performance is quite not easy. The volunteer, which has ported SETI to the PS3 had done a lot of changes to improve the application perfomance and make usage of the SPEs. I think, he has done a very good job. With his work and changes he improved the performance by factor 3 to 5 from the first to the actual version ! |

Posted 6119 days ago by Dotsch restarted BOINC, I am getting from S@H \"platform powerpc64-ps3-linux-gnu not found\". The app_info.xml should be located in the directory $BOINCDIR/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu. Also, you need to stop the BOINC client and restart them again, to get the new app_info.xml working. - Could you please verify, if the app_info.xml and setiathome_2.3A_bin are located in the projects/setiathome... directory. If not, this would work. This projedure work for all projects which need a app_info.xml, also for SIMAP as installation procedure : - attach to the project, if you are not attached - stop the boinc client - copy the app_info.xml and project binary (setiathome_2.3A_bin) to the projects directory under $BOINCDIR/projects/$PROJECT_URL, for example $BOINCDIR/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu - change in your BOINC directory ($BOINCDIR) and start the boinc client with : ./boinc -update_prefs $PROJECT_URL, for example \"./boinc -update_prefs http://boinc.berkeley.edu\" |

Posted 6128 days ago by Dotsch Rosetta and SETI, as other projects, don\'t have client application for PS3. Your BOINC is testing each 24h to see if there is one. SETI and SIMAP has applications for the PS3. At both projects must the application(s) installed manualy. The thread in the SETI forums : http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=39910 And at the SIMAP download page : http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/appdownloads.php |
