I am testing the new acemd3 app. The app is entirely new: faster and more general. The idea is to replace the old one asap. We'll also try to make it more maintainable (a long standing issue) using the boinc wrapper.

I've sent a handful of test WUs for now -- cuda 8.0, linux.

The goal is that it should work on properly configured machines, i.e. with relatively recent drivers, where the previous app was already working. So far we got one success, i.e. 20962989.

do you mean this one? crunched in 6 or 7 minutes.

but i cann't see which gpu is used to crunch this task

How to select work for the new app? "New version of ACEMD" app is not a choice under project preferences. The current choices are only these:

ACEMD short runs (2-3 hours on fastest card)
ACEMD long runs (8-12 hours on fastest GPU)
ACEMD Beta
Quantum Chemistry (CPU)
Quantum Chemistry (CPU, beta)
Python Runtime

"ACEMD Beta" looks likely, but the name doesn't match "New version of ACEMD", which is how it is being reported over on wuprop. And also it does not match the name on the app page. In fact, the app page indicates that "ACEMD Beta" and "New version of ACEMD" are completely different apps.

So far we got one success, i.e. 20962989.

The other 5 Test tasks seem "stuck". They have been in progress now for quite a while.

They must be really long, have errored, or hosts have downloaded the tasks and then been turned off.

Can our Linux crunchers check your Linux hosts for progress?

EDIT: The successful task above has also been accepted by 2 Windows Hosts ("New version of ACEMD v1.19" but failed. Also failed on 2 Linux hosts "New version of ACEMD v2.00"). So it seems the Test tasks are being accepted by Windows and Linux hosts. The successful Linux Host has Nvidia driver v430.14. The failed hosts had Nvidia drivers ranging from v375.70 to v418.19.

I've just selected everything including test apps with only Use GPUs selected. Nothing yet though but I would think that should be enough. Devs can sneak in about anything under the test apps options.

probably my next build (in 6-10months) will be 4, 5 or 6 rtx cards. hopefully is the app then mature enough for investing couple of thousand euro for gpugrid

The number of failures, and the existence of one success, is odd. Doesn't seem to be explained by driver versions alone.

Try sending out more experimental WUs and see if it is one driver version

Recent changes:
* sent 100 more test wus
* deprecated the windows "acemd3" app
* made acemd3 as beta
* fixed its name in prefs

Errored WUs on multiple different drivers and OS's

Why is the app launching CUDA compiler?

My host 43404 got one of WU 16517259.

Like all the others, it failed within one second:

with no further information than

Incorrect function.
 (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)

But I did capture all the specifications and downloaded files between download and run, so I can recreate the attempt offline and see what additional crash information I can collect. May take me a little time...

Windows 7/64, GTX 970, runs v9.22 just fine.

Edit - all I can get in offline runs is

ACEMD can run with Boinc only!

- even when I supply a dummy init_data.xml file which has worked in other standalone test environments. I'll go out for a walk and see if that activates the little grey cells.

Recent changes:
* sent 100 more test wus

Can you please explain which app we have to select in our project preferences to get these tasks? The app name "New version of ACEMD" is not a an option in the project preferences.

Should be called "ACEMD3 Beta". It's for Linux only (for now).
Windows machines should soon stop receiving it.

The computer I got a test app on has

If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?

yes

Nothing else out of the ordinary.

The app name appeared as 'acemd3'.

I got 1 task but it failed.:-(

Hi Toni

are you explicitly naming the path to libnvrtc-builtins.so when compiling?

perhaps include boinc project folder in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
