On the machine with the 8600GTS card I have more work units than I can process before their deadline. With this machine trebling the number of wu available to download would just mean I would have to abort more wus every few days, unless the deadline was revised accordingly.

Looks like some people are getting work though, I guess because other people are aborting wus or wus are passing their deadline and are being re-issued.

I think you hit it on the head. The few WUs that people have been able to get are probably ones that are reissued. It seems the new ones are no good.
Could you abort your excess WUs so some of the rest of us can get work? (Same for anyone else that has too many WUs.) Thanks.

I have more work units than I can process before their deadline.(...)I would have to abort more wus every few days, unless the deadline was revised accordingly.

I prefer to have to much WU`s and abort some of them every day instead of fighting ;) every day over hours...

Yes , me to :

version boinc :
- 6.3.17 : 4 WU's
- 6.4.5 : 4 WU's
- 6.5.0 : 4 WU's

Well done !

Please also do a project reset. ...
... if you still don't get WUs, write here your host id, so that I can scan it in the log.

Two systems running Vista/64 (6.5.0) I got workunits without any trouble at all, see here
http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=20725
http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=18146

Both GTX260 switched to a new (old chipset) motherboard, running Vista got WUs, but there I got the first "compute error", never seen before:
http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=21081

Same board with Linux/64bit (openSUSE 11.1, nVidia 177.82) I tried these versions:
- 6.4.5 (first)
- 6.5.0
- 6.4.2
- again 6.5.0, 6.4.2 and so on ...

Now I stay with 6.5.0 and will wait some days, whether I will see a solution or not.

With 6.5.0 I got on first start no more
"Full-atom molecular dynamics on Cell processor is not available for your type of computer."-message,
but afterwards I did, every time.

Do I really have to edit this values manually ? Don't think, because they are ignored,
is it right ?

With suspending another BOINC-project GPUgrid tried to download, if I got two (!) error messages,
would the board crunch two WUs, if it can get some ? Otherwise I switch back to single slot configuration.

Problem came back :(

Problem back for me too. Regardless of Boinc Manager version, Windows version or card type. Soon all my GPUs are going to be idle.

O.k. with the new information given from GDF (thanks for that)
http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=606&nowrap=true#5111

I will switch back temporarily to other clients. If everything is going well with the servers I'll come back.

Happy new year !

This morning I got two new WUs again with the Vista / 6.5.0, wonderful.

Ha!

I got three ... :)

I've been getting new work automatically / regularly now. Only infrequently getting the "not available for your type of processor" message, but it still gets work fairly quickly after several manual tries.

During the last few days I've seen the message more often than before and had to manually retry several times.

So far since early this morning I've got more work every time I called for it on both my Windoze & Linux Box's & my Caches are full at the moment ... :)

Hey Everyone,

I just signed up for this project hoping to have better luck than I did with SETI@HOME. So far, not so good. At first, I got the same error messages that everyone else started posting.

I read the forum posts, reset the project and lo and behold I got the same message but I finally received a work unit. WAHOO!! Wait a sec ... not so fast ... by the time I switched over to the tasks tab it failed with a "Computation error" message. Is there an error log I can look at somewhere?

Here is my computer ID: http://www.gpugrid.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=21627

I'm hoping that someone can help fix this quickly. Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Greg

Hi Greg, and welcome to GPUGRID!

Your account doesn't show a failed task. Could you do a manual update of GPUGRID to report the task? Only then we can have a look at the stderr.out to see what might be wrong...

If you look here you can see in the STDERR Out that there is a lack of memory ...

Not sure why that occurred, the computer description says you have 511 M memory ...

Did you play a game while the task was running?

I am out of my depth ... someone else likely will have to jump in ...

It's running on a 64-Bit Windows Version.
As far as I know the 64-Bit app-version has a memory leak.
But it shouldn't happen on the very first WU...

Member of BOINC@Heidelberg and ATA!

I thought the memory leak had something to do with the drivers and only on XP 64? On Linux and Vista 64 I never saw something about memeory leaks...

Dukzilla, since you use XP 64bit, could you please install the 180.84 Nvidia drivers and try again?

For testing purposes I installed 6.4.2. It had the problem that it never requested any GPU work voluntarily, not before I suspended the CPU projects. I accidently had a massive stockpile of CPU work, though.

Now I had a strange situation: I had 14 Milkyway WUs at 48 minutes each.. that's <3h of processing for my 4 cores. No other WUs were running except one GPU-Grid with an estimated runtime of 2h left. Cache setting is 1.25 days and ressource share 50% Milkyway and 37,5% GPU-Grid. Why the hell didn't BOINC request new work? I'm a little worried I'll still have to babysit it..

Is there any client which is more well-behaved? I did not really hear good stuff about the later ones.
