On 9th Dec we are moving the IP of gpugrid to another network. This means changing the DNS. While the dns update is propagating around the world you might experience that the server is unreachable.

Early next year we are going also to upgrade the server, but this is another story.

Hi,

why is it that my gpugrid keeps saying "communication deferred"?

It was working fine before. Any way I can fix this? :(

FYI: I'm still having network access problems:
1. Stalled up/downloads
2. There are 3 tasks in progress according to my host's status page, but in reality there's only two (this host has only one GPU)
These problems were severe on 9th Dec, but it seems that the reason of these problems are not related to DNS replication.

Zoltan, perhaps your host has not refreshed its DNS cache. A reboot would help in that case.

Zoltan, perhaps your host has not refreshed its DNS cache. A reboot would help in that case.
I've checked it by
ipconfig /displaydns
and it was ok. The address in the cache was 84.89.134.145, to make sure the cache refresh itself I did an
ipconfig /flushdns
to clear the cache.
However, it seems that the problem is gone in the meantime.
There's nothing I can do about the extra workunits assigned to my hosts, they will be reassigned to another host after their deadline (5 days).

I am have been having the same problems since the change to the new network. But for me, it happens occasionally during downloads only (definitely more often than before), and it involves only one file in the WU downloading. To continue with the download, I can either press "renter now " when the status is "Download reentry in xx:xx:xx" or exit boinc and then run it again. Sometimes, I have to do this more than once. But most of the time, the downloads go smoothly.

I haven't lost a WU yet, due to this problem. Knock wood!

Same behavior here as well!

I just want to add that this is happening on my windows xp computer, only. The windows 10 machine is downloading WUs with no problems, so far.

And sometimes, more than one file gets stuck.

I have another "ghost" task on one of my hosts.

I too just noticed I had a task that timed out without a response on me. I went over the BOINC log and couldn't find its name. I did notice the following in the log for December 29th however (when the task was assigned to me):

29-Dec-2015 13:30:40 [GPUGRID] Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
29-Dec-2015 13:30:40 [GPUGRID] Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU
29-Dec-2015 13:35:47 [GPUGRID] Scheduler request failed: Timeout was reached
29-Dec-2015 13:35:47 [GPUGRID] Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
29-Dec-2015 13:35:47 [GPUGRID] Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU
29-Dec-2015 13:35:49 [GPUGRID] Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
29-Dec-2015 13:35:49 [GPUGRID] No tasks sent
29-Dec-2015 13:35:49 [GPUGRID] No tasks are available for Long runs (8-12 hours on fastest card)
29-Dec-2015 13:35:49 [GPUGRID] Project has no tasks available
29-Dec-2015 13:35:51 [---] Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
29-Dec-2015 13:35:52 [---] Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.


So, it seems to me the request for new tasks did go through to the scheduler, but its response never reached my machine.

I am also having the download / upload problems mentioned in this thread. Files eventually do get down / up, but with several retries.

This is definitely a network problem on the GPUGRID side of the network - maybe a router close to the project servers has not had its DNS and / or routing tables refreshed?

I am wondering how this issue with phantom WU assignments is affecting WU availability and the overall computation progress, especially in this WU season of drought. Just imagine hosts requesting tasks, getting them without knowing it, and after some minutes requesting again. This issue does not need to happen many times to many users to make many tasks disappear...

Now that you mention it, I am too. There are several earlier entries, this is just the most recent. I never paid any attention to it before. Whether it is a big problem or not I have no idea.

Same here. After the initial download times out I hit "retry" from BoincTasks transfers tab and the download resumes and finishes. Been doing this for a couple of weeks.

I would like to report, that I have occasionally download problems until this date (individual files get stuck). This was not a concern, when there have not been many WUs around, but now when the pipeline is full, it is quite boring.

Same here. I've asked about it several times but never got a reply. Hours wasted that could be used crunching.

Yes me too, stuck file usually downloads after a few hours before the task running is finished however 2 times recently it has been stuck for over 4 hours and this left GPU idle for a few hours. I hate that. Crunching computer is running using electricity, belching fire into our skies and no work is being done.

A single upload file also often gets stuck. Haven't lost bonus credit yet because of it but gone close a few times. Not good.

If I had a slower GPU this server malfunction would make me consider crunching another project where the download/upload server works properly. Perhaps even F@H.

Still having the same download issue. Recently brought my XP machine back to crunch here. It has the same issue. Downloads get stuck for hours. This is the only project of 7 that I'm currently running that does this and since it's On 2 different machines/OSs the problem is not on my end. PLEASE FIX THIS!

I can confirm this; it is not on my end! The problem has aroused when the project changed the network. It seems to me that the new network cannot cope with the size of data transferred from the server to the user and vice versa.

I had up-load problems before, but assumed this is caused by the ADSL contracted. But since the network change, it happens also when downloading files from the server.

Two comments:
First, another project is now happy with the spare GPU time.
Second, although it was lengthy discussed in another forum, because of this download problem, I suggest, the maximal WUs per GPU should be increased to three as the fastest cards get a better load with parallel crunching.

I routinely see delays of 10 to 20 minutes or so on downloads and a few uploads. I see it on both wired and wireless connections. It is annoying when I am running my GTX 750 Tis and am trying to make the 24 hour limit.

Maybe their servers are just overloaded?

FYI: I'm still having network access problems:
1. Stalled up/downloads
2. There are 3 tasks in progress according to my host's status page, but in reality there's only two (this host has only one GPU)
These problems were severe on 9th Dec, but it seems that the reason of these problems are not related to DNS replication.


I am have been having the same problems since the change to the new network. But for me, it happens occasionally during downloads only (definitely more often than before), and it involves only one file in the WU downloading. To continue with the download, I can either press "renter now " when the status is "Download reentry in xx:xx:xx" or exit boinc and then run it again. Sometimes, I have to do this more than once. But most of the time, the downloads go smoothly.

I haven't lost a WU yet, due to this problem. Knock wood!






I just want to add that this is happening on my windows xp computer, only. The windows 10 machine is downloading WUs with no problems, so far.

And sometimes, more than one file gets stuck.






WU file downloading problem is now happening on both my windows xp and 10 computers, occasionally. See log:

Another trick to get the download to restart is to disconnect and reconnect the network internet connection, and then in the boinc manager under the transfer tab press the renter now button with the stalled file highlighted. Of course, you can wait for it to restart on its own, this merely speeds up the download.


This was not happening in such frequency before the network upgrade.

7 tries and 5 1/2 hours wasted trying to download 1 file because every time the download fails the wait period for the next try gets longer. This is ridiculous. I thinks it's time to move somewhere else until this issue is resolved. 2+ months is long enough for me.

Our complaints were forwarded to the IT service a week ago, however this problem exists since the changes in the network. I guess it's a misconfigured routing table (or more of them), which is quite hard to spot, especially when not all traffic is affected by it. A spare project could help to reduce the idle GPU time, so when the network issues will be fixed at GPUGrid's campus, your host will automatically stop downloading from the other (spare, 0 resource share) project.

Something else blew up last night. I awoke this morning to find 4 tasks ready to report and no new tasks running. That had to be at least 12+ dead hours of no crunching. The projects tab showed the next update would not be for 12 more hours. After doing a manual update the 4 tasks reported and new tasks were requested. Below is a partial copy of the messages:

672710 GPUGRID 2/24/2016 7:24:35 AM update requested by user
672711 GPUGRID 2/24/2016 7:24:40 AM Fetching scheduler list
672712 GPUGRID 2/24/2016 7:24:43 AM Master file download succeeded
672713 GPUGRID 2/24/2016 7:24:48 AM Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
672714 GPUGRID 2/24/2016 7:24:48 AM Reporting 4 completed tasks
672715 GPUGRID 2/24/2016 7:24:48 AM Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU
672716 GPUGRID 2/24/2016 7:24:50 AM Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks

What would cause the master file to be needed again? I'm assuming that was a/the reason for the 12 hour delay. New tasks were received but there are 7 files stuck again. *bangs head on desk*

Also I don't think using a 0 share standby will work because if I remember correctly BOINC will not allow new tasks from another project to download if it detects stuck downloads from the higher priority project.

FWIW if the current IT service can't get this resolved after 2 months maybe GPUGrid might consider switching to another service provider.

Ten consecutive failures to contact the scheduler. Note that's the request work/report work contact attempt, not the file download attempts this thread has mainly been about.

Check the full log in stdoutdae.txt - see when the problem started/ended. Unless you've suppressed it, BOINC will try to contact a 'neutral' web host (google.com) after each failure: if google is OK but gpugrid fails, then the project server is the suspect. But if google fails as well, then your own network connection and ISP may be at fault.

To test a little theory of mine - what OS is having these problems? Linux, Windows, OS X? Or all three? I'm Windows, and I see the downloads stalling sometimes - but the work is usually fully downloaded by the time I need it.

[Edit - OK, we don't support OS X here. Forget that one.]

I am on Win7 64-bit. It is not an actual operational problem for me at the moment. For the past four days, even with one or two backoffs, I get the downloads in less than 20 minutes, and usually about 10 minutes. With a little overlap (buffer setting of 0.01 + 0.01 days), it is working OK for my GTX 960, though the problem to some degree is still there.

Both my XP and Win7 boxes are having the issue. Win7 is the most problematic because I'm running dual cards with 2 tasks each. Because of the 2 task per GPU limit I have no buffer to cover the stuck downloads. A 3 tasks per card limit would probably eliminate the issue but I doubt that will happen.

Windows 7 Pro here. It's a minor problem, usually, however I am not crunching at the scale some are.

Hi nanoprobe and the gpugrid community,

I have forwarded this issue already several times to our local IT service but apparently they also have to forward it to some other higher IT service and I'm not sure to which extent we have power to prioritize our problem. I kindly ask you to be patient. I particularly share your frustration and I will try to keep insisting them to fix the problem.

02-Mar-2016 14:35:22 [GPUGRID] Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU
02-Mar-2016 14:40:27 [GPUGRID] Scheduler request failed: Timeout was reached
02-Mar-2016 14:40:27 [GPUGRID] Sending scheduler request: Requested by project.

02-Mar-2016 14:40:29 [GPUGRID] Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks

After the timeout, my BOINC client merrily requested once more for new tasks...

I wish there was a way to cancel tasks using the project's site, e.g. a Cancel button on the task list.

Intrigued by this post by Bjarke I decided to do some trace-routing for GPUGRID and my other projects (WCG and POEM). Here's the output from tracert, having appended the geographic location of each hop using http://www.ipligence.com/geolocation:

C:\Users\vagelis>tracert www.gpugrid.org

Tracing route to www.gpugrid.org [84.89.134.145]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

19 118 ms 117 ms 120 ms grosso.upf.edu [84.89.134.145]

Trace complete.

Note that I took traces from two locations using different ISPs to determine the entry point to GPUGRID's ISP network. The trace above is the common part.

Comparing GPUGRID's route trace to my other projects, it is evident that there's a lot of hopping around across Europe: Netherlands to Sweden to the UK to finally reach Spain. In contrast, WCG's trace shows a hop in the UK and then it goes to the USA. POEM's again has a hop in the UK and then goes to Germany.

Now, I'm not saying that hopping across Europe is a bad thing, even for an IP packet :D, but more hops does mean more points that can cause network problems.

It would be interesting to have a route trace from before the GPUGRID ISP switch to compare...

A tracert from eastern Pennsylvania seems simple enough. My guess is that it is a local problem near UPF.
Or maybe there is more than one problem? It seems to be worse for some people than others.

I wonder if it is possible for BOINC, or some ancillary program, to do a tracert on a file as it is being downloaded? That would be more useful in finding the sticking points than doing a tracert after the fact, when conditions have changed.

Did I miss something?

I installed my old GTX970 GPU on a Linux Mint Computer a few days ago:
Operating system: Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 32-bit
Cinnamon Version: 2.8.6
Linux Kernel: 3.19.0-32-generic
AMD FX™-6100 Six-Core Priocessorx3
Memory: 7.8GiB
Hard Drive: 114.7 GB
Graphics Card: Nvidia Corporation GF110 [GeForce GTX570 Rev.2]

I have not received any work until today, although the Server Status indicates that there are “Tasks ready to send: 181”. However, I do receive PRIMEGRID.net Wus for my GTX570 without any problem! And all my Windows machines are loaded with work. So I do not understand what is wrong.

Please find the relevant log below:

Dear all,

As I have not received an answer to my post above. I would like to repeat my request. Does anybody have an idea, why I can't get WUs on this Linux System? Is it because of the type of the card? Shall I try with a newer generation GTX670? Or is it because of the 32 Bit Linux?

Any comment would be highly appreciated! Thanks.

Your 32 bit linux is a problem. There are no 32 bit linux apps listed on https://www.gpugrid.net/apps.php

I also don't know if compute capability 2.0 is enough any more. There was a thread listing the minimum but I can't find it any more.

And, if that's not enough, your driver version is not listed.

Your log says

Mon 14 Mar 2016 09:25:38 AM PET | | CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 570 (driver version unknown, CUDA version 7.5, compute capability 2.0, 1279MB, 1144MB available, 1530 GFLOPS peak)

but mine says

14-Mar-2016 22:04:40 [---] CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 750 Ti (driver version 355.11, CUDA version 7.5, compute capability 5.0, 2047MB, 2010MB available, 1388 GFLOPS peak)


and it is useful to know what driver version you are running.

fractal spotted it; 3.19.0-32-generic

x86 Linux is a non-starter and the GPU needs to be CC3.0 or above:

https://www.gpugrid.net/join.php


    Supported OS

      Linux 64-bit
      Windows 32/64-bit



    GPU: NVIDIA Kepler GPU (CC3.0) (Geforce 600 series and later)
