My three other machines with Windows and GTX 750ti and 1060s set idle as far as GPUGrid is concerned.

You should set up two different venues (one for ACEMD3 only for Turing, one for short+long for older cards), and assign your hosts to these venues according their GPUs.[/quote]

Thank you for the instruction but unfortunately I do not know how to accomplish the task you outline. When I access my GpuGrid account and select Preferences and subsequently GpuGrid Preferences, whatever I select as to applications to run has always applied to all of the four computers I have attached to GpuGrid. If I change any preference, such as select only ACEMD3, then obviously only tasks designed for my turing card will be downloaded to its computer. But, if I additionally select ACEMD both Long and Short, then those will be downloaded not only to the three non-Turing computers but also to the Turing 2080 where immediate failure will occur. Your recommendation seems to be the perfect solution and I am frustrated that I do not know how to accomplish the task. Most appreciative!

You are looking in the right direcction: Under "GPUGRID Prreference" you are able to set the preference for 4 differrent locations:
Default
Home
School
Work.
After that you have to assign a location to each host, selecting under "computers under this account", Details: The location you want to assign to the computer: Location is at the bottom of the page.
So you are able to assign one location for your Turing card and another for the other cards.
Hope this helps!

By the way: things we'd need a comment on:

2. does suspend/restart work as expected?

Toni(or other): do you still want the suspend/restart to apply.

An interesting comment: Yesterday, before I sorted out my GPUGrid preferences and my RTX 2080 associated machine downloaded two Non-New ACEMD tasks,one of the "longer running" tasks processed for over 2 hours and 40 minutes on the Turing card before failure but the second task failed apparently immediately.

Linux machine with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (ran GPUGrid task) and GeForce GTX 660 (running another project). Survived two suspends, including a machine reboot, and finished happily.

Seems that others weren't so lucky with the same work unit though.

Dears, thanks for the reports and patience. A small update thanks to your testing:

we found a problem with the WINDOWS Cuda 10.1 app - it's slower than it should be. Possibly related: restart fails most of the time. We are working on it.

I lucked out and checked in just when a new tranche of acemd3 WUs popped up. My 2080 Ti caught two sets of two WUs and they ran fine.
My 2080 Ti has no problem running 4 einstein WUs but I've yet to get 4 WUs at the same time to test this for acemd3. Is there a limitation set on the server side???

---

Sigh . . . . still have never caught a single one of the new tasks or applications.

Keith it took me a while before I caught my first. Are you sure you have acemd3 checked in preferences and short & long unchecked???

---

I could send more. Unfortunately they also go to linux hosts (which we don't need to test). Please follow up in the "server" forum.

Keith it took me a while before I caught my first. Are you sure you have acemd3 checked in preferences and short & long unchecked???

Yes. I still have new acemd3 app checked from before in July and the acemd2 app unchecked.

I see from Toni's comment that he does not want Linux hosts to participate. So I guess I can just forget about the project again.

I set my three LINUX hosts to "no new work". So, that Keith can pick one LINUX WU up;-)

Be patient: It seems to me, that we are nearing to production status with the new app.

I've also just configured my Linux systems for not to accept ACEMD3 tasks.
My XP and W10 systems keep waiting for them...

I've been patient since February. But my patience is wearing thin. I see other Linux users be able to get some of the new work. I just wonder what miracle method they used so I can duplicate.

I hope that Toni can get the Windows app working correctly very soon so he will release enough work for ALL hosts to participate.

Just realized I successfully processed three of the "new" tasks on a Linux system with one 1660ti and five 1060. They all completed successfully. I didn't realize they were running so I failed to do a stop start to test suspend.

I also noticed that the GPU was not identified so I don't know if they all ran on gpu0 or any of the other 5 on this mining system using risers for all cards. One of them was faster so I suspect that was on the 1660ti.

Would be interesting to compare to other system that have full 16x bandwidth instead of my 1x.

I believe other Linux users have already tested the new acemd3 app for stops, suspends and restarts with no issues. They processed through to completion, even on different cards I believe.

That is what the Windows app needs to achieve.

One of them was faster so I suspect that was on the 1660ti.

For comparison, another Volunteer crunched this task on Linux host with GTX1660ti

From the above two links plus my gtx-1070Ti system

PCIe	OS	GPU        Seconds	%Performance
---- -----      ------     -------      ----
x16  18.04      1660Ti     1831.0	100
x1   18.04      1660Ti     2189.79	 84
x16  Win10  	1070Ti     2268.68	 81

There is a loss in performance of %16 due to x1 but on the other hand, Windows with 1070Ti and a full x16 is slightly slower than the 1660Ti hanging on a 1x riser on Ubuntu! Both of my systems have swan_sync enabled and both run CUDA 10.0 Not sure about the other user.

Hi all, noob here :-)

I have three 2080ti cards (on Windows) and I'm trying to get work units but Boinc keeps saying there aren't any available since I started yesterday:

20-Sep-2019 14:31:26 [GPUGRID] Sending scheduler request: Requested by project.
20-Sep-2019 14:31:26 [GPUGRID] Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU
20-Sep-2019 14:31:27 [GPUGRID] Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
20-Sep-2019 14:31:27 [GPUGRID] No tasks sent
20-Sep-2019 14:31:27 [GPUGRID] No tasks are available for New version of ACEMD
20-Sep-2019 14:31:27 [GPUGRID] Project has no tasks available

My project settings are:

ACEMD short runs (2-3 hours on fastest card): no
ACEMD long runs (8-12 hours on fastest GPU): no
ACEMD3: yes
Quantum Chemistry (CPU): no
Quantum Chemistry (CPU, beta): no
Python Runtime: no

In my projects folder, the only executable is acemd-923-80.exe.

Am I missing something here?

TIA

roryd, I just go ahead and check the acemd project as well. The test WUs come in small packs so it's catch as catch can. Keep an eye on the Server Status page.

Hi Aurum,

I tried that yesterday, but they all failed and then I got messages saying

19-Sep-2019 16:23:50 [GPUGRID] This computer has finished a daily quota of 4 tasks

As all the GPUs are RTX, should I enable the acemd anyway?
