Hi at all

Did GPUGrid run out of work? For several hours i get the following message:

03.11.2008 02:22:27|GPUGRID|Message from server: No work sent
03.11.2008 02:22:27|GPUGRID|Message from server: Full-atom molecular dynamics on Cell processor is not available for your type of computer.
03.11.2008 02:22:27|GPUGRID|Message from server: Full-atom molecular dynamics for Cell processor is not available for your type of computer.

I'm using a Gforce GTX260 on a Pentium D950 with BOINC 6.3.21

Thnx in advance

Same problem for me - I am using a
GeForce 8600 GT on a GenuineIntel
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11]
with BOINC 6.3.14

I wish I can fly like a bird in the sky .....

Ratm five out of ten GPU-cores are running idle...and the communication delays of 24 hours aren't really helpful to change that either... ;(

Same problem here for Windows 64 bit, no new work and the message

Communication deferred 24:00 hours

Now I only could try to update manually, but I'm out the next 14 hours.

Yeah, tried it several times this morning before going to work, too, but the same message appeared (I'm using 6.3.21 and 9600GT].

The delay of 24 hours is much too long. Is it possible to readjust it to, let's say 2 hours?
Would be nice when the computer at home can ask regularly instead of have to do that manually every time...

I have added new work. Odd because there should have been lots. Looking into it.
gdf

We had a problem with disk space. It should be fixed now, but I don't know if there will be problems of any sort due to it.

gdf

Well, it did work. Finally I grabbed two new WUs. :-)
Thanx GDF!

Seems like this is happening again. My 2x260 Core 216's are sitting idle waiting for work, and getting the same message as listed above...this site shows approx. 150 work units available...

Question: Is there any difference in the work units passed to PS3's vs. GPU's?

Question: Is there any difference in the work units passed to PS3's vs. GPU's?

Neil

Yes. The PS3 WU's and the GPUGrid WU's are not interchangeable. There was a request to break out the "Results ready to send" into two lists, 1 for PS3 and 1 for GPUGrid, but that has not happened to my knowledge.

....... same here.

There are plenty of WUs.
We are checking.

gdf

Which host id?

gdf

Had this 20 minutes ago...

On host 17415 .... other hosts are seeing the same.

P.

Avoid 6.4.5!



use 6.4.4 or 6.4.3 are suggested by us (I think also Seti went back to 6.4.4).

gdf

your DCF is 48.724245.


Reset project.

gdf

.... have work in progress so won't reset just yet.
However, from the client_state.xml :

<duration_correction_factor>0.132950</duration_correction_factor>

All my hosts are doing this - including one which has never run a WU before.

and the DCF doesn't really explain this message:
17/12/2008 16:31:38|GPUGRID|Message from server: No work sent
17/12/2008 16:31:38|GPUGRID|Message from server: Full-atom molecular dynamics for Cell processor is not available for your type of computer.

THought the application server side was now ignoring DCF?

P.

Reset the host (which had a DCF of 1) - no change.

P.

Both my computers are also showing low DCF but when I get new WU's I have 433hrs to completion on my 2x8800GT box and 45hrs on my 2xGTX280 box. The 8800's won't request new work and run high priority until they drop down to about 35hr estimated remaining time. In fact they only require 11-12 hrs to complete a WU. DCF's are 1.73 for my 8800's and 0.14 for my 280's. I didn't upgrade or change anything from the time 6.3.21 came out so this no work requested must be a problem on the server side.

HostID 16551 with GTX260

Same troubles here. DCF 0.99
Upgraded to 6.4.5, downgraded to 6.4.2 (available on GPUGRID webpage), resetted twice, manually updated every half hour or so since noon...

All to no avail...GPU still without work.

Hope you can give us work soon.

Happy crunching
