We will start some beta testing today or tomorrow with the new app for cuda4.2.
If it works we plan to update acemdlong.

gdf

New app is on in beta. Nate will be submitting some workunits soon.
Only windows for now.

gdf

There are 50 new simulations in the beta queue. These are very simple test workunits, but if everything goes well I will submit a whole batch to the long queue tomorrow. This will help test the new app.

This new app also features the smaller upload sizes, so it would be good if we can deploy it for all long tasks ASAP.

HOW TO:
- Opt out of Beta Tests
- Ask for Help

I already had about 26 beta work units with similar results from one computer. From what I saw of the received beta work units that resulted in errors, others had similar results.

The same here: I18R1-NATHAN_tstdhfr-0-1-RND4913_3. W7 64bit GTX560Ti CC 2.1.

Project has no tasks???

Select Normal length tasks too - there are a few being generated, possibly resends.

I have now selected ALL... ACEMD standard, beta and long but nothing is coming in :-(

Member of Boinc Italy.

as soon as we have finished testing beta.
We will have more tasks.

gdf

Yes, we are a little "dry" right now (slight shortage of tasks). Bear with us for the next 24 or 48 hours. We are trying to change to an updated application, which we are testing in the beta queue. As soon as the new app is installed, we will have plenty of new WUs to send.

As for the WUs in the beta queue, the first 50 seem to be erroring. We are going to cancel them and send new ones very soon, which should be fixed.

Still getting many failures on two systems, but did get one that finished:

I noted this about the tasks that fail:
The Virtual Memory and the Working set memory remain at 0 for the few seconds that the tasks run (6 or 7).
If I suspend a Beta I get a communicating with the Boinc client message, and the tasks still Error out.

The only Beta task I completed was called I1R1-NATHAN_tstdhfr3-0-10-RND6104
It was the first task generated.
My guess would be that the other tasks were not built correctly.

15x error, 1x success, out of daily quota.
Finished task: I1R1-NATHAN_tstdhfr3-4-10-RND6104_0 . Any other task than I1R failed as skgiven mentioned.

I just destroyed something like 20 of the new beta tasks by getting a computer error on them after only 2 seconds of starting them. I don't overclock my cards, and they are at as low as I can get them in terms of temperature, which is 70 C or less, so I don't know why they failed.

We're aware of the continued problems. We believe it is an issue with the application, but are checking the simulations as well. We'll update as soon as we know something.

You can see why we beta test every change!

The NATHAN_tstdhfr4 batch seems to be working fine on all of my hosts.

However, there's still no detailed info in the stderr output file about the GPU used to process the workunit.... (which would be very useful for figuring out the source of some errors)

The NATHAN_tstdhfr4 batch seems to be working fine on all of my hosts.

The same here.

BTW I've received some Ann***_r*-TONI_AGGd8 workunits from the long queue, so there is some new batch also.
