Given the recent dump of erroring tasks, I hadn't paid attention to my tasks, but looking at them now, a good number of them from two dual TITAN X hosts don't fit the recent brokenness. So, I wonder what they are.

The errors are subsets of these (all 8-12hr tasks, too):

https://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=417426&offset=0&show_names=0&state=5&appid=23
https://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=304059&offset=0&show_names=0&state=5&appid=23

Mostly the errors with 0.00 runtime.

Error lines are (I noticed three suspect ones):

o SWAN : FATAL Unable to load module .fillcharges.cu. (719)
o Error in swanMemcpyDtoH# SWAN swan_assert 0
o SWAN : FATAL Unable to load module .ntnbrlist.cu. (719)

These hosts had produced valid results recently, so I am wondering if bad tasks left something behind on the hosts, or some other coincidence happened with a driver/setting change...

Good tasks:

https://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=417426&offset=0&show_names=0&state=3&appid=23
https://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=304059&offset=0&show_names=0&state=3&appid=23

Thanks for any pointers.
Tuna

Further similar errors since last night:

o swanBindToConstant failed -- copy failed# SWAN swan_assert 0
o SWAN : FATAL Unable to load module .fastfill.cu. (719)

Nobody has an idea?

I would try:
1. open an elevated command prompt (right click on start)
2. type chkdsk /f /x <enter>
3. don't touch the keyboard until your PC finish checking c:
If it does not help:
1. download display driver uninstaller
2. download the latest nVidia driver
3. disconnect (disable) the network
4. exit BOINC with stopping scientific applications
5. remove display drivers with DDU
6. restart PC
7. install the latest nVidia driver
8. restart PC
9. try GPUGrid again
If it does not help, you should try to reset the GPUGrid project within BOINC manager

Excellent list! Thanks! I hope this is on some pinned FAQ post that I missed. ;)


Just over the last 10 minutes, I also noticed all Asteroids@Home GPU tasks were failing on three hosts (these two, plus another that was actually having successful long GPUGRID tasks). The commonality? I had turned on OptimizeForCompute on them, and only them out of all my GPU'd hosts, just before the recent error storm here started, so my errors overlapped with errors here. So, for now I will blame that. Changed all three PCs back to OFF, rebooted, asking for new tasks, and we'll see what happens in about 12hrs...

Yup. All my GPUGRID, Astroids@Home and PrimeGrid AP27 tasks succeeded over night after I set "Optimize for Compute Performance" back to OFF.

It may be relevant that there is a program called swan that converts CUDA source to OpenCL source.
