I just noticed I'm crunching with a new acemd3 2.04 application. Still only beta tasks but all have crunched successfully with the Linux OS and CUDA10.

Thanks Toni, just in time for a more interesting period in the GPU market (Turing SUPER refresh)!

MrS

Yes these new beta wrapper apps correctly work with Turing cards.

Yes. acemd3 linux is working for what I can tell.

Yes, Toni only threw out another limited run of beta tasks again. If you didn't grab them right away, you missed them.

I gather we are still a long way before proper generation of non-beta, new acemd3 tasks.

I have a hunch we still have another period of beta work to come for further testing of the Windows application. I don't expect the app to be mainlined until both Linux and Windows apps are validated.

Windows version is next.

I am guessing the Linux app is not ready?

It is too hot for me anyway. They can wait until September

NVidia driver did not spin the fans enough to cool. Spend 2 days figuring out how to enable fan control.

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390
// the above puts in the proprietary driver

I hear you.

Went to open frame mining rig to help with cooling. Windows choked with 5th gpu.

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390
// the above puts in the proprietary driver

I suggest: (suspend GPU tasks first)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-430

If the last one fails then:

sudo apt-get install libnvidia-compute-430

then the previous
This way you'll have CUDA 10.2 capable drivers.
(If you like the GUI better, then you can use only the first line, then go show apps -> software & updates -> other drives -> select the 430 driver and apply changes, wait for the driver download)

I'm with both of you there. Hitting over 100F everyday. Shut everything down.

Sounds like you need a bash file to override the nvidia to turn the fans up to 100% all the time.

Keith was kind enough to send me his but you need to make several adjustments to Ubuntu to use them.

Apes,

Maybe move this last few discussions to a new thread, something like "Turing adjustments for heat?"

Guys, you're having a nice discussion here but please don't take this thread completely off-topic - important news could appear here.

Bah humbug.

Bah humbug.

How much is your electric bill each month?

Just curious Keith, why under your computers does it say you have 64 2080s in one system? "[64] NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (4095MB) driver: 430.26" And 48 GPUs in the others?

It's a "hacked" BOINC manager for SETI@home and the CUDA10 special app. The SETI@Home project sends 100-100 workunits at max for CPU and GPU. This is fair enough for the CPU, but the CUDA10 special app finish a workunit in ~45 seconds on a GTX 2080Ti, so 100 workunits is done in less than an hour (which is inadequately low, especially for the regular outage on every tuesday). This way a "hacked" host can queue up to 6400 workunits for the GPU(s), which is adequate to sustain work during outages for such a fast processing speed.

Hey Toni, I'm getting tired of doing astronomy.

Give me some protein to chew on !!!

Yes, wish they would at least release the Linux version of acemd3. Been doing E@H 100% since mid May although I do love astronomy. Don't know what the Windows/Linux ratio is here but I am sure they are missing out on a lot WU work keeping the Linux app offline until ready for Windows as well.

Ah, that kind of implies to me that the Windows/Linux ratio here is very approximately 1:1. That means GPUGrid is loosing about 1/2 of their current WU production keeping Linux machines inactive. Hey TONI please!! :)

When the Linux app first went down I had noted here somewhere that Free-DC saw a drop of about 1/3. Maybe some of it was Windows PCs now had more of the task pool.

It is also summer when people are on vacation and shut down PCs more due to being away and heat.

Now that the windows license appears to have expired it's time to shut down the old applications and turn on the new Linux application.

Doubtful that happens as they still haven't released a Windows acemd3 wrapper app to test yet that works.

I moved the following quoted posting from the adjoining forum as it obviously fits this subject matter more closely; and it would have been lost without being answered where it was originally posted. Billy Ewell 1931

[quote]I think the definitions of "long-run" tasks and "short-run" tasks have gone away with their applications. Now only New ACEMD3 tasks are available and in the future.

I just accomplished an action that answered my own question: I modified my GPUGrid preferences on my 2 Windows 10 64bit Xeon and i3 computers, both equipped with one each GTX 1060. Both computers have joined my Windows 10 64bit i7 RTX 2080 happily crunching GPUGrid Work Units under the current title ACEMD3. By the way, I excluded all other options in the preferences menus even as I understand it probably does not matter.

Is anyone else having trouble with a LOT of WUs erroring out, on slightly older GPUs?
My new 1660 Ti is doing fine, but my (not that very old) 950M has a VERY high error rate, after running for many, many hours (after finishing, it would seem):

a couple, resultid=21544426 and resultid=21532174, had said:
"Detected memory leaks!"
So I ran extensive memory diagnostics, but no errors were reported by windoze
Boinc did not indicate if this was RAM or GPU 'memory leaks'

I am also getting
upload failure: <file_xfer_error>
<file_name>initial_1132-ELISA_GSN0V1-6-100-RND5960_0_0</file_name>
<error_code>-240 (stat() failed)</error_code>

<error_code>-240 (stat() failed)</error_code>
https://gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=21532174

(The next one said nothing about 'memory leaks' but still gave)
upload failure: <file_xfer_error>

The other projects I am running currently (Universeathome, collatz) have no problems with file uploads.
