I'm preparing some infrastructure for the Windows 64bit CPU app. There are some beta WUs out. They don't to actual calculations (for that we have to wait for the nontrivial psi4 port), but they do test the distribution system, dependencies, and so on.

Some are already coming back successful. The setup, if it works, will be completely native, not require VMs, nor the "linux subsystem". It will expand both the type of tasks we can distribute, and the available machines, of course.

In particular, I'd like to know
- whether it behaves well with "normal" unprivileged installations
- if there is an annoying "Anaconda" icon installed in the start menu

Thanks!

Can't seem to DL anything for my windows machine.

Must have been a quick short run.

There weren't many (approx 300), all of them in the "beta" queue. I need to fix simultaneous starts there too.

Waiting for more windows consistent queue....

Hi, something new? My 88 thread server is hungry for some native Win work. If want to help with testing, can let me know.

I think the team is busy with Windows GPU application issues, see here for more details: https://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=4802

Also, several members of staff are on vacation at the moment, so progress will be slow until they return.

Now gpu windows app seems to be resolved.
Waiting for September for windows cpu app...

Is there any windows CPU WU's, I set everything to be enable but I get no tasks.

Coming soon (on the QC_beta app initially).

I got a few beta but they failed, looks like it was installing Python and minconda while trying to run another WU at the same time.

hopefully next round is good.

Installing python (miniconda actually) is normal. It should be contained in their own boinc directories. Also multiple installations should wait for each other. There is something else I'm investigating.

Did you get any "visible" changes in the system?

Thanks

I see the anaconda option in the start menu, but non of the task actually worked.

if I click it it does not work as path is wrong it has

C:\%windir%\System32\cmd.exe "/K" C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\www.gpugrid.net\miniconda\Scripts\activate.bat C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\www.gpugrid.net\miniconda

but %windir% = C:\windows so it actually resolves to c:\c\windows.

I see that it trys to update conda version but it didn't work as the reported version is still 4.5.4

I see these 2 errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\3\qmml3\lib\site-packages\psi4\__init__.py", line 55, in <module>
from . import core
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "run.py", line 13, in <module>

File "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\3\qmml3\lib\site-packages\psi4\__init__.py", line 60, in <module>
raise ImportError("{0}".format(err))

I can see the deepdiff, jsonpickle, psi4 in the pkgs folder.

this was most common causes of error. one was

C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\www.gpugrid.net\miniconda\Scripts\conda install -m -y -p C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\1\qmml3 --override-channels -c gpugridbeta -c defaults --file requirements.txt

The QC Beta app now seems to be working (group name TST4). To do: workaround the creation of the annoying shortcut.

Seems like they are working now. I see 100% cpu load, running 4x4cores.

Great. Did you see "black windows" like command prompts?

Didn't notice any :)

3 UT validated on i7-3770 W10 host ! :-)

Can someone give an eye on the cpu% of windows tasks? In particular, if you run only one task, does it limit itself to 4 threads?
