We will need to upload a new linux app soon to solve the expired current executable.

Thanks for the update.

I should have deprecated the current one, so at least it does not get out.

Yes, no point in wasting download bandwidth and gpu resources on tasks that error out immediately.

Whew! Glad it's not my machine... I was up to hundreds of days of uptime and removed/reinstalled all of BOINC - then restarted, thinking something was really gummed up on my end ;P Glad there'll be a new app soon for Linux. Thanks!

My last successful Long Run was 30 Jan. I keep getting messages about Long Runs failing to execute when there are ZERO Long Runs present on the server

I should have deprecated the current one, so at least it does not get out.

It should have been deprecated from the short runs as well. It took me by surprise that short tasks are present on my hosts, which have failed before on Linux hosts (but after this issue have been recognized).

I was surprised to see short tasks today. I had never seen them before. They failed with the same exit code as the long tasks. Didn't realize they used the same application.

Any update to this?

Awesome, bunch of spammers here...

My understanding was that the developer for the Linux gpu apps was out or unavailable last week but expected to return this week.

I will have to keep bumping this thread if I do not see the new application executable by the end of the week.

I have uploaded a new linux version of the old app. But we are also expecting to deploy a new app soon with faster performance.


the current new linux version is 919. Let me know if it works.

That's even better news!

Just waiting on some tasks.

Could you please update the Linux app in the Short queue as well?

Absolutely, this should have been done automatically along with the Long Tasks.

Is there something that needs to done on client side to get these updated linux apps?

No, it will be automatically downloaded when you receive a new task.

Has anyone received any GPU tasks on linux yet? I'm currently running Quantum Chemistry tasks and when I request new work I get the following:

There's no mention of short or long GPU tasks being available or not.

Is there anything in my app_config file that is preventing me from getting GPU tasks?

<app_config>
<app>
<name>acemdlong</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>

<plan_class>mt</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>4</avg_ncpus>

I know GPU tasks are rare but I'm just trying to confirm I've got everything set correctly.

I am getting the same message every time boinc requests gpu tasks for my 3 gpu capable machines. I haven't received any gpu work since the announcement of linux v9.19. I suspect that gpu work is so scarce right now it's hard to get any.

You are probably right.

I'm a little concerned about the line stating "this computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress". Does that mean both CPU and GPU tasks or just CPU Quantum Chemistry tasks?

Time will tell I guess.
