Thanks for all your feedbacks. BOINC dev finally found the problem on the scheduler. I have already upgraded the server software please report if the problem is fixed.

Thanks, gdf.

For me the problem is fixed. Earlier today I didn't get any new work, my Dualcore with 8800GTS was out of work :-/
Just some minutes ago I forced an update, got 2 units and now the GPU is slowly heating up again :-D

Great :)

Got new work WU without manual update!! Ya-a-ay!!

Still wierd is one WU at 32hrs is high priority and one at 38hrs is normal. Both are 850 step WU's.

As well the two new WU's are 500 step 1887 credit WU's one at 64hrs and one at 6.5hrs. Seems way off but my DCF is heading back down for both my rigs.

Pass on the Well Done's!!!, GDF.

Cheers

Pat

Thankyou GDF, my GPU's are running warm again!

Please pass on our thanks to the developers on a weekend.

I still can't get any WU's using 6.4.2

I was getting them but it stopped, I tried suspending all projects and manually updating, this worked at first but it's not working for me anymore.

Getting the "not available for your type of computer" message

Indeed thanks.

Today was my first attempt at getting my new system online and i was convinced i was doing something wrong however it's nice to know it wasn't my side.

Many thanks for the regular updates and the actual fix its self.

If it is still not working try this:

-detach from grpugrid
-stop boinc
-remove all files with *gpugrid* that where left in the boinc dir
-restart boinc and attach to gpugrid

Well, I executed a manual update and got:

This on a system with 2 280's. My DCF is still going down thank my lucky stars.

Just completed a second manual update and got a WU. Gald I didn't wait the 24hrs!!

Going to let it run for 24hrs and see what errors I get.

Pat

I just got a WU, it's working again for me.

Well, I don't know what is going on but here is the outcome:

12/21/2008 4:47:34 PM|GPUGRID|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 981948 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks

This after trying a manual update. I at least have two WU processing but once again after they are done my 280's will sit idle.

Also my DCF is going up on host 16824. It's now at 4.767947. That tells me that my 280's will take 4.7 time the alotted time to complete a WU. How can this be.

Thanks, gdf.

My computer has been unattended for 48 hours. It just reported 3 WU's and got 4 new ones. Everything working fine for me.

The DCFs are tied to the estimated WU runtimes and I think they're still messed up and are gradually changed to correct values, as an abrupt change caused other problems.
Edit @nognlite: which BOINC version?

Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

I'm attempting to use 6.5.0 with 180.48 drivers.

Pat

Worked well on 21 Dec till after 2000 UTC with 4 WU for me, one running - three in wait.
Then again the dreadful .. no work... message, also after a manual update of a finished WU this morning. Down to two WU now, one to finish soon. Will check what happens then.

Kind regards and happy crunching

Alain

hostID 16551

Last WU finished and manual update forced download of master file and three more WUs.

Great!

Alain

I have reinstalled everything fresh. 6.4.2 and 177.82.

also tried 6.4.5/180.06

I get;
"no work sent"
"Full-atom molecular dynamics for cell processor not available"

I'm not having much luck with this:(

Card is a 9600GSO and Ubuntu 6.04 os.

Have I screwed the pooch??

Any help will be appreciated and attempted when I get back from the doctor for blood work:D

mike

Same here again. I'm all for progress but maybe we should go back to one size of WU and put everything back to the way it was before Dec 10th. That's when this all started.

Just noticed that if I shut down BOINCmgr and restart it 20-30sec later I get WU's. Could have a problem with releasing available GPU memory which causes the no work problem. Wasn't watching, will check next time.

Pat

even after a fresh clean install of 6.5.0 i still can't get work.. :(

tried again and after some dozend unsuccessfull attempts i got 4 in a row..

Frank, have you tried the 180.84 driver yet? It seems to have solved all my 64bit issues. It's only been a day, but no problems since :) I don't know if or how a driver could have anything to do with getting work... but I have both SETI and GPUGrid on my machine.
