Dear all, please give the new acemdbeta app, ver 845, a work out. This supports all GPUs now.
It's Windows only - if you don't get WUs, you'll need to update your driver.

Matt, is the 343.98 Driver accepted? I've been trying to get Beta tasks. 14/09/29 06:12:36 | GPUGRID | No tasks are available for ACEMD beta version

I have correct configure-- /run testing app/Beta app checked, not accepting other short or long. I never update to WHQL drivers, from being limited for certain functional areas, unlike Betas or Developer Driver.

Strange, I see no Beta tasks running on Boinc Manager. I just tried again. If driver is accepted, I will continue to try. Thanks for the help.

I did, indeed.


Update: unknown error) - exit code -97 (0xffffff9f)after 8s

The simulation has become unstable. Terminating to avoid lock-up (1)(this first time I've had this during my time at GPUGRID. GPU1 Temp was 58C.
If you don't mind errors, I will try again.

Update2: same error. GPU usage go's to 90% for seconds, after GPU usage to 0% then crashes.

Update#4 Still failing on both cards with same error--

This work unit has 3 Linux failures (all with GTX 780) and 2 Win8.1 failures.

Update#5 received 5 more beta for total of ten-- all failed with same error number. All Tasks have started fine (90+GPUusage/14%MCU) with progress .016 intervals, before failing. Wingman with Tesla K20c/GTX780 (c.c3.5, along C.C3.0 wingman, failed also.

Yikes, I'm seeing these same errors on the Short Run queue -- I guess the Cuda65 app has been deployed there too?

Yes, it's served its purpose there. The CUDA65 build is broken on non-5.2

My 2 GTX 660 Tis, and my GTX 460, in my main rig, are now successfully simultaneously crunching 3 ACEMD beta version 8.46 (cuda65) tasks.

Thank you!

Matt:

I even think the canary behavior works better for me now. I tried the scenario where it was failing on the 8.41 app, and now it worked fine without failure on the 8.46 beta app.

Can you please explain, in detail, how the canary behavior was changed? How exactly does behave in 8.46?

Thanks,
Jacob

I think the errors on the higher-end cards where caused by to old drivers Jim. I had a lot errors on my 780Ti's yesterday, but when I updated to the latest driver, they run smooth as usual again.
The beta did okay on my 660, so your 660Ti will do great as well.

Just enabled Test Apps for my GTX 680 and GTX 780Ti cards. I'll check back in a while to see how they're doing.

Edit: I saw that TJ recommended updating to the latest drivers. Is this the latest Beta or WHQL driver? I'm currently running 344.11. Thanks.

344.11 works fine on my GTX 650 Ti and 660 Ti on the test apps. I am running it on my GTX 750 Ti also, but haven't picked up the new apps yet

Hello Matt, yes I am running 344.11 the latest WHQL driver. But to be clear it was recommended by Matt from the project.
The older driver I was using, was a bit faster on Win7 as the WDDM was introduced with Vista and can not be switched of, but that is besides the scope of this thread.

If I've got things right, the 65 apps shouldn't be sent any driver older than 343.00. The exception to that will be the Linux app, when that finally exists. That will give the WU out to any client that reports CUDA 6.5 capability, as only our patched client reports the driver version.

Well Matt with driver 331 on my 780Ti's win7 where a bit faster but then I got cuda65 tasks and errored out. With your advice I updated the driver and no more errors (yesterday one, but that was another reason).
But if you have made changes yesterday or today, then you are probably right.

boinc 7.4.22 (development version) now reports the driver version:

MJH:

I've been processing Beta tasks, and although nearly all are successful for me on the 8.46 app, I did have a failure last night. This is on a completely-stable Windows 8.1 Update 1 x64 machine, on one of my GTX 660 Ti GPUs, using 344.11 driver.

Any ideas?

Question: would a 4.2CUDA long task running on one card slow down CUDA 6.5 short or Beta tasks running on other or vise versa? I just noticed a CUDA 4.2 Noelia Long task running, with 6.5 Beta and Short. Runtime for Long task is more than normal. It takes ~40Hr to complete, but at ~40Hr the 4.2 task is 80%.

Maybe, if the processes are competing for CPU.

Have you checked event viewer to locate any occurrences at the time task failed? Any kernel failures ? Or database instances? If you have automatic windows updates or auto Maintenance enabled- this can trigger random failures for other processes. (or sometimes fault any heavy usage process) Also, a security "audit" can trigger background task (GPUGRID) failures.

Thanks, but it was a couple "simulation became unstable" errors, which I believe to be a problem with the GPUGrid application.

It's probably due to me overclocking my GTX980. I had several tasks fail while I was at work yesterday. Since I clocked back, I've had 4 short run tasks complete successfully.

My apologies for messing up the beta test.

I had another failure, where simulation became unstable on a 8.46 Cuda 6.5 beta task. http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=13161365

I am not entirely convinced that the error is the fault of the task or the application. Perhaps the new 344.11 drivers push the GPUs even harder than previous drivers. I will do additional testing, with Heaven, to attempt to confirm.

Thanks,
Jacob

I don't think the 344.11 driver is pushing the cards harder as with this driver my 780Ti's are around 700 seconds slower than with the 331 driver I used until 309 September when I was forced to update as I got errors with the new app. See below in this thread.

Hello - I have noticed that my dual gtx 780 machine has been getting mostly beta tasks lately - only 2 short runs and no long runs over the past few days ? I even set my prefs to no beta and no other apps but still pulling only beta tasks?

My other 3 systems on the account - gtx 770 & 660 do not show any beta tasks?

Just curious

I too seem to only be getting Beta, even though I've re-enabled all applications. Is the scheduler prioritizing the Beta application somehow?

With new technologies being added to 343 branch driver for Second Generation Maxwell GM204: Dynamic Super Resolution, Third Generation Delta Color Compression, Multi-Pixel Programming Sampling, NVidia VXGI (Real-Time-Voxel-Global Illumination), VR Direct, Multi-Projection Acceleration, and Multi-Frame Sampled Anti-Aliasing(MFAA) with support for CSAA removed. HDMI 2.0 support was also added.

I'd say this driver branch is not fully complete yet. A couple more releases should find driver's full potential. Considering how support for pre-Fermi cards were dropped, and amount differences between SM/SMX/SMM, these first 343 branch drivers have room to be refined.

Matt:

I even think the canary behavior works better for me now. I tried the scenario where it was failing on the 8.41 app, and now it worked fine without failure on the 8.46 beta app.

Can you please explain, in detail, how the canary behavior was changed? How exactly does behave in 8.46?

Thanks,
Jacob

It doesn't. I've disabled it altogether. I'm counting on the newer drivers to do a better job at recovering from deadlocks.
