so far I haven't seen any issues with 64bit 6.3.14 on server 2008 x64

out of memory

Did you reboot your machine?

MrS

No , but I did think of trying that & will this morning to see what happens. The Box was running a PS3 Wu & some other Projects just fine until I installed the v6.3.14 ...

PS: Rebooted but I have used up my Quota of 4 today so the Server won't send me any more Wu's until later ...

I managed to get 2 more Wu's again & 1 of them seems to be running ok now after re-booting this morning. I also increased the Page file on the System to see if that helps.

I'd like to try 6.3.14 again, should I un-install the 6.3.10 first or doesn't it matter ... ??? Yesterday I just installed the 6.3.14 over the 6.3.10 & maybe thats where it got screwed up, don't know for sure though ...

It should not matter. I install every version over the old. I installed on 3 computer 6.3.14 over 6.3.10 with no problem. Usually you would only need to uninstall if you go backwards a major version like from 6 to 5. I also make a quick backup first by shutting down boinc, and using windows to compress a copy of the folders, for both data and program, I then rename them with the version. I got quite a few now and they also serve as a log of update dates. Then if there is a problem I can restore quite easily. I haven't needed any copies (knock on wood), but with all the testing I do it helps to know they are there jsut in case, and actually I needed to track back some info in client_state for the last 3 installs and those backups were a big help in answering a question, otherwise I would have had to guess.

Okay, thanks Keith, I'll try it tommorrow, want to let it run over night to make sure there are no other problems before Up-Grading to 6.3.14 again.

Anybody tried multi-gpu on 6.3.14 yet? I'm having issues on my 2x GPU rig. It runs F@H GPU2 fine. My other 2 rigs are single GPU and I'm using the cc_config file and not having any issues.

On the multi-GPU rig:

Vista x64
2x XFX 8800GS

Same effect whether I use the cc_config file or not. I start Boinc (I run WCG and GpuGrid) and it will start running 4 of the WCG WUs and 2 of the GpuGrid WUs, but after a few minutes....sometimes 10-15mins....it will kick both of the GpuGrid WUs into "Waiting to run" mode. The 4 WCG WUs will continue on...and it will not start any other WUs to replace the GpuGrid WUs. For some reason its kicking them out. This doesn't happen on either of my single GPU rigs. And as state before: this is with or w/o the cc_config file, and it doesn't seem to matter what the ncpus is set to when the file is used. Yes, I rebooted. Desktop is extended via vga-dvi dummy. I tried them OCed and at stock.

Driver should be 177.92

All 3 rigs are running Vista x64.

Kinda lost atm...just wondering if anyone else has tried multi-gpu with this version.....?

Is your ressource share >33%? I'm not sure if it matters for GPUs, but it may confuse BOINc if it's too low. And something else: the BOINC scheduler sometimes gets confused by the debt. I suggest the following: stop BOINC, open the client_state.xml in the editor, search for "debt" and you'll find <long_term_debt> xxxxx </long_term_debt> and <short_term_debt> yyyyy </short_term_debt> for every project. Set them all to 0 and see if it helps.

Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

Ok, I am going to tinker with it tomorrow...headed to bed in a few minutes. But first a question:

How do I set/change the resource share? Is that the "On multiprocessor systems, use at most" which is defaulted to 100%? If not, then I'm lost.

On the projects tab it shows 50% resource share for each project.

The "Resource share and graphics -- PS3GRID preferences" settings in your Account is where you set your Resource Share for each Project.

Ok, found it--Thanx! I don't want to derail this thread too much...if necessary I'll start a new thread:

All 3 of my rigs are set under the "default" profile in Boinc/WCG/and, I guess, GpuGrid. The 2 1xGPU rigs are running fine, so I really don't want to mess with them. Don't really want to put the PCs in different profiles and not sure what headaches might arise from that. Is there a way to change the resource share on just the 1 2xGPU rig?


Just wanted to add that, other than this single issue with the multi-gpu, this 6.3.14 seems like a much better version than .11, .12, .13......

I forgot to mention, there is no warranty with my statement. Good luck.

Yes let's start a new thread for this as it pertains to all boinc versions and projects, not just this one.

Already done.....its here:


Need 6.3.14 Multi-GPU Help.....


Thanx!
