I have had several, nine and counting, Noelia tasks fail after only running for around 2 seconds.

Have you just done an update from Windows Update WDDM?

I did and have got multiple errors since then and can't uninstall despite trying to use restore. Update not mentioned in Uninstall Programs

Finally got one running.

The same with me. Suddenly more than 30 errors. No changes in my system than updating the driver to the last version. But I have the same issue on machines where nothing has changed since weeks..

No updates of any kind on my system. Looking at my GPU Grid account it shows I have one task in progress when I have nothing in my queue for GPU Grid. I have done a project rest and rebooted the system. Still getting the same problem. Instead of wasting time and bandwidth downloading tasks that are going to fail I have set the project to no new tasks until some one comes up with an answer.

Current problem solving: Switched my preferences to ACEMD short runs (2-3 hours on fastest card). And all works fine again. Seems that the problem is caused by the long ones.

Same issue here. 16 errors and increasing. No changes to platform; platform is >50% complete processing three NOELIA_tpam2 tasks without issue. NOELIA_TRPs fail within 3 seconds with following error:
ERROR: file mdioload.cpp line 162: No CHARMM parameter file specified
10:34:25 (8728): called boinc_finish

Switching to another project just to conserve internet bandwidth.

Just had two bad ones in quick succession:

260-NOELIA_TRP188-0-1-RND4118
364-NOELIA_TRP188-0-1-RND5307

Erroring on every computer they're sent to, so I'm pretty sure it's the task make-up, nothing local to our machines.

Make that three:

337-NOELIA_TRP188-0-1-RND9634

Me too!

Indeed the third type of Noelia's WU's are errorsome. I have now 47 of them and wing(wo)man too. This seems be the error: file mdioload.cpp line 162: No CHARMM parameter file specified.

It are xxx-NOELIA_TRPxxx WU's the other two types run like a train.

We have to wait for Noelia to repair this.

I'm having the same issue with NOELIA_TRP188 workunits.
All of these run to the following error after 2 seconds:
ERROR: file mdioload.cpp line 162: No CHARMM parameter file specified

Please cancel these units already, they are all erroring out.

ERROR: file mdioload.cpp line 162: No CHARMM parameter file specified

Have these errors been resolved?

Unclear if resolved. Within the last 30 minutes, I am no longer receiving NOELIA_TRP long run tasks. All three of my platforms have received NOELIA_tpam tasks, so I have switched back to the long runs for now.

Me the same. Right now all seems to be fine.

Feel free to send the NOELIA_TRP WUs my way. They run fine on my 780Ti under linux.

I've finished 2 of these WUs successfully.

Retvari said it best:

That is exactly what's happening for me. The NOELIA_TRP188 work units error out just like that, for Windows machines.

http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=10045781
http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=10045192
http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=10045206

Then, BOINC immediately reports the error (per your setting), gets a network backoff for GPUGrid, then starts asking my backup projects for work. So, I get to work on backup projects until you can fix this.

Can you kindly please determine the problem, and cancel the work units that have problems, and then relay to us what happened?

Thanks,
Jacob

I am still getting them, just not as frequently.

While you may think this to be true, however my linux computers have had their share of these errors, just not as frequently.


FWIW, going back to Einstein@home until this is resolved. Enough is enough.

Good point. I've only had 2 WUs so that's certainly not enough for me to conclude that these WUs are ok on my machine.

You're right. I just checked one of my PC's. Two attempts failed before the third has worked.

18:03 fail
18:16 fail
18:20 Ok

Any up-date? Can I change back to long runs? My computers run without supervision over the week-end, so I do not like to pile up errors.
