Hello,
I think you have to install latest version Nvidia drivers.

---

I have not received any new WU in like 30-40 days.Why?

Did you check ACEMD3 in Prefs?

I have another observation to add. One of my computers had an abrupt shutdown (in words, the power was shut off, accidentally, off course), while crunching this unit: initial_1609-ELISA_GSN4V1-19-100-RND7717_0. Upon restart, the unit finished as valid. Which would not have happened with the previous ACEMD app. See link:

Off course the run time is wrong, it should be about 2000 seconds more.

now that you are saying this - I had a similar situation with one my hosts 2 days ago. The PC shut down and restarted.
I had/have no idea whether this was caused by crunching a GPUGRID task or whether there was any other reasond behind that.

After solving the windows problem and fighting with the MOBO and Windows some more, my system is stable.

BUT.....I still cannot complete a task without an error.

What is error -44 (0xffffffd4)?
BOINC calls it an unknown error.

And all it does is repeat this message: GPU [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] Platform [Windows] Rev [3212] VERSION [80]
# SWAN Device 0 :
# Name : GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
# ECC : Disabled

Is there to much OC on the card for it to complete the task in a stable manner or what is going on now?

All other projects are doing ok. Just here I keep getting errors.

This is a date issue on your computer. Is your date correct?
Can also be associated with Nvidia license issues but we haven't see that recently.

This is STDerr output from ACEMD2 tasks, not the current ACEMD3 tasks.
I cant see any failed tasks on your account, do you have a link to the host or Work unit generating this error?

Also, Toni has given some general guidelines at his FAQ - Acemd3 application thread.

Hmm..have to see what those do when I get them.
Right now I am OC'd to the max on my 1050TI.
If I see this stuff show up on my system then I better turn it back to default.
Still running version 2 stuff.

Yes, there were issues for all volunteers in July 2018.

Do you have any recent errors?

Where in prefs do you find this options?

Thanks,

Bill

P.S. Sorry, I'm new to GPUGrid, and I'm wondering, too, why I haven't received any work to do.

Click your username link at the top of the page.
Then click GPUGrid Preferences.
Then click Edit GPUGrid Preferences.
Then check the box ACEMD3.
Then click Update Preferences.
Then you'll get WUs when they're available. Right now there's not much work so I get only one or two WUs a day.

Many thanks. I modified the settings and now we'll see. Thanks again, Bill

Do you have any recent errors?

No..sorry for the confusion.
Just a validate error.
But no running errors yet.
Most current task is in queue to start again and sitting at 38%.
I have a 8 hr cycle currently.
I thought I had seen a task show up in BOINC as an error. Must have been a different project. Oh well.

I could do without all the errors. My system has been driving me crazy earlier.

So I am ok for now. Thanks for the pointer on the date.

"I have not received any new WU in like 30-40 days."

GUSTAV If you are running other BOINC project GPU tasks also , have you tried giving GPUGRID twice the priority of the other projects you run? This seems to work for me.

Another thing I did was increase the amount of tasks in my cue to 1.5 additional days of work. I've theorized that if my task cue is satisfied when a GPUGRID task comes along, the BOINC server will pass me by with it for that task update. I think the same might apply if your computer is shut down at the time WUs are being dispensed.

Someone more experienced than myself needs to confirm or disprove my guess. I hope I've been helpful.

Hi, bar is empty and my gpu is thirsty. Some news about new batch to crunch? :-)

Second that.

If you are running other projects, especially Collatz Then you will have to manually control them or Boinc will report cache full, no tasks required. Collatz is prone to flooding the machine with WU's. I have given it one per cent resources, even then it floods my machine.
You have to fish for GPUGRID WU's these days. Starve the queue and let the computer hammer at the server itself.

If you run empty, then go look at the server status. Current server status says there is no work. Also if you check your notices in BOINC manager you will see that it communicates to the project and the project reports back no work to send.

So if there is any work here, maybe you get it maybe you don't. You can set your resource share to 150 or higher and then BOINC manager will try and contact more often to try and get work. They are just not generating a lot of tasks to crunch right now. It's like winning the lottery if you do get some.

Thanks very much, KAMasud. That clarifies it completely. The "no new tasks" and "suspend" buttons have already proven useful to me during my brief time volunteering on BOINC.

Milkyway just flooded my cue with quick-running opencl Separation 1.46 WUs, so Ill be "GPU productive" while checking the server status here for the next batch.

Incidentally, the Asteroids project is also out of available jobs.
