Get well soon Reb!

Let's see if it makes the Top 30 :)


Reached number 30 in the host ranking!

So the multiGPU app is working as expected.

Let's see if it can get to 25 before other users edit their cc_config and get more than one GPU working.

Are you sure? Are both cards generating heat and have usage in MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z etc? Me and Trinitas are getting both units running on one GPU and the second is idle. But we have AMD and you have Nvidia, it may be different.



Hi, yes, I'm sure.

The 1660 Super I added was one that had been repaired by Asus and is slower than it was before it was repaired :(

So I could see which WU was on which card because of the 60 second difference in processing speed.

Currently ranked 45 with 915k RAC -- which isn't possible with a single 1660 Super. Let's see if it makes the Top 30 :)

Thank you for this.

I saw the notice in the BOINC client this evening, added a second Nvidia card to a Windows 10 box, updated the cc_config and it all works perfectly.

Cheers

The existing Intel Mac apps worked fine with M series chips -- faster using M1 than Intel.

Everything was working OK... now nothing :(

The existing Mac app worked fine with Apple M series chips.

Why has the Mac app been removed if it doesn't have a new version?

My Windows box doing TF has also stopped working too -- it is asking for Nvidia WUs but gets 0 sent.

Sorry, just seen your announcement about your health.

Hope you recover soon.

My M1 Macs were crunching through WUs faster than the Intel Macs.

Now there is no work for them.

Can you fix this problem, or do I need to retire from this project?

I'm down 2.5M from the first crash and another 1.5M now.

If you can top up my total it'd be great.

But a server fix would be would be welcome as the RAC losses can't be adjusted like the credit total :(

Only one more day of 2020... fresh start in 2021 :)

Wishing everybody a better New Year!

So the fix ETA would be when the new work units will be uploaded then?

It's helpful to provide the information so that other projects can benefit during the down time.

It doesn't work. Here's an example of it not working:

Host 208625 -- no work, just failed downloads from yesterday.

Update 01: 2 failed downloads
Update 02: 0 tasks
Update 03: 6 failed downloads
Update 04: 20 failed downloads - 4 hour delay requested
Update 05: 3 failed downloads - 6 minute delay requested
Update 06: More delays requested
Update 07: 1 download that works!
Update 08: 0 tasks
Update 09: 0 tasks
Update 10: 2 failed downloads
Update 11: 0 tasks + delays requested
Update 12: 0 tasks
Update 13: 0 tasks
***only task finishes, uploads, updates, 0 tasks downloaded
Update 14: 0 tasks
Update 15: 0 tasks

Meanwhile, this host now shows 0 tasks in progress and 690 errors.

My hosts have run out of work and I'm just getting "Download failed" HTTP errors here.

Do you have an ETA for a fix?

I'm down by 3,000,000 TF.

Also lost 3 new Linux hosts that I brought on-line yesterday afternoon :(

Got them running again at 2am and should be hitting 6m credits a day by tomorrow.

Thanks for getting things moving again quickly.

A little confusing, but also rewarding to use with old Macs and PCs :)

My next job is to get boinc to recognise a Thunderbolt eGPU. Ubuntu has no problem utilising the eGPU, but boinc says "no GPU found" no matter if it is Nvidia or ATI :(


I have a question about your 3080.

Have you tried running multiple tasks at the same time?

I would have thought that two, or perhaps even 4 at a time would be more efficient because the time spent ending/beginning each tasks is significant when processing tasks so quickly?

The other cuda files are in /usr/lib (not lib64) and in subdirectories by host architecture.

OK, this now works!

The file needs to go in /usr/lib

Thank you for sending the file link.

I tried this last night with a libcudart.so.10.1.243 copied from another host and renamed to 10.1, but it didn't work in /usr/lib64.

So I created the missing directories and copied it to /usr/local/cuda/lib64 (the location on the other host) and that didn't work either.

Now trying again with your file copied to both locations.

Still getting computation errors.

Do you know that when you install the latest Nvidia driver it removes the entire cuda directory from /usr/local ?

It's not just this file that is missing. Everything has gone.

The FAQ isn't easy to understand :(

The GPU info is:

CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 960 (driver version 455.38, CUDA version 11.1, compute capability 5.2, 1993MB, 1952MB available, 2618 GFLOPS peak)


The FAQ says I will be sent Cuda111 and Cuda100 tasks.

How do I stop the Cuda100 tasks from causing computation errors?

The FAQ says to copy a missing file to /usr/lib64 -- but that file is deleted when you install Cuda11 Nvidia Drivers.

Not sure if this is related, but I converted a Windows 7 host to Linux Mint and it successfully completed more than 40 GPU tasks on an NVIDIA GTX 960 but then started to fail with computation errors.

The error message is:

./mfaktc.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Host ID is 211122

Anybody seen this before and know if it's a simple problem to fix?

Rebooting didn't solve it.

Yes, working with GTX GPUs again.

Excluding the 1660 would be annoying.

Do you consider the 1660 GPU unsuitable for future tasks?
