There was an issue with the simulations that has been corrected, and most seem to be finishing successfully now. We are having some other issues with the application that need to be addressed before we can deploy the app on Long. Sometime in the next few days, hopefully.

Recently received two Beta's. One ran successfully, the other did not.

Project has no tasks available

...sinece yestarday...sob..

and i still wonder why everybody in Austria except me get work units and make up to half a million points per day O.o

Are the new workunits now with smaller upload files? Because the appversion didnt change so i wonder ;)

I'm running another Beta now and the GPU utilization is only 40% (W7x64).
As a result the GPU downclocks a bit (from 1111 FOC to 1032, and from 1250OC to 1032). The fans are at 40% and the GPU temperature is 39°C. Reducing CPU usage for other projects makes no difference. Memory controller load is only 3%.

trypsin_lig_1_-NOELIA_RL_equ-0-1-RND1972_0 finished at 2202s @ W7 64bit GTX560Ti CC2.1/872MHz, driver 310.90. Low GPU load (begun at 40%, finished at 30%), low VRAM load (119 MB), high CPU load (0,7 CPU core of HT 3770K) => low credit.

My GPU utilization also ended up around 36% for several tasks.

GPU power usage is also extremely low at 34% (only shown for Kepler cards)
The memory controller load of 3% is less than 1/10th of normal GPUGrid tasks, and the 83MB of virtual system memory is also very low.
I expect we are just running very limited tasks to test the app. That sort of credit would mean a 45K daily return, as opposed to a >300K for a GTX660Ti, but again it's an app test.

getting around 36-39% usage on GTX 470 in win7

can not force project to send me beta wus, excluded everthing but beta , but nothings been sended.

must select "Run test applications?"

also, currently seeing 16-19% usage... not a good sign :(

i have selected this, but nothing happens, still LongRuns only on the run.

I stop to try, too many stopped wus.

also, currently seeing 16-19% usage... not a good sign :(

I am running a "acemdbeta version 648 (cuda42)" task called "trypsin_lig_1205_run3-NOELIA_RL2_equ-0-1-RND5309_0"
... and, monitoring GPU Load using GPU-Z
... the task appears to only be using 33% of my EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti FTW (clocked at 1045.2 MHz), using 313.95 (beta) drivers.

This means the application is under-utilizing the GPU, right?

right, u could use 3 wus at the same time with an "app_config.xml" file. And boinc version 7.0.44. Specified the app name = "acemdbeta".

... or is there a bug with the app that leads to poor GPU load?

counldn´t run any beta app right now.

Rantanplan, please try to post these kinds of issues in "Number Crunching" or "Server and website". Make sure you don't have specific location preferences set for your computer under "GPUGRID preferences" It is explained more here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Preferences#Location-specific_preferences


As for those of you noting the low GPU usage on these WUs (Noelia's WUs, to be specific), you are correct. They are experimental and for this reason we put them on the beta queue. We must run a few of them as preparation for many, many more simulations that will come later on the long or short queue (where they will no longer have the low % utilization issue). They shouldn't result in low credit, and typically we compensate heavily for beta WUs. I will look into that.

Thanks for the confirmation about low GPU usage not being a bug, Nate.

For future beta tests, for beta aspects that function differently than the final version but are still expected behavior, it might be wise to announce them up front. As it was, I (and other users) had no idea that low GPU usage was expected for this beta run.

Thanks,
Jacob

Pulling out of BETA testing as several Noelia ones on different machines are stalling. This one got to 20 hours before I could abort it!
