21) Message boards : Server and website : Stuck on 'uploading' (Message 57929) Posted 28 Nov 2021 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Instructions for working round the 'expired certificate'problem at GPUGrid. I followed the instructions (and thanks for posting that!), and it worked to get the files uploaded. But the task will not report. I have this same problem across 3 different machines. I get the following: 131 GPUGRID 11/28/2021 7:18:52 AM update requested by user 135 GPUGRID 11/28/2021 7:19:01 AM [sched_op] Fetching master file 136 GPUGRID 11/28/2021 7:19:01 AM Fetching scheduler list 137 GPUGRID 11/28/2021 7:19:03 AM [sched_op] Deferring communication for 1 days 00:00:00 138 GPUGRID 11/28/2021 7:19:03 AM [sched_op] Reason: 52 consecutive failures fetching scheduler list FWIW, I did update the "<scheduler_url>" line as instructed.

23) Message boards : Number crunching : Unsent tasks decreasing much more slowly (Message 56236) Posted 3 Jan 2021 by zombie67 [MM] Post: https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/take-for-granted/ WHAT DOES TAKE FOR GRANTED MEAN? The expression to take for granted means "to accept without question or objection," and often implies a lack of appreciation or gratitude. (E.g., "Many of us may take for granted the fact that we have access to clean drinking water.") When it come to people, to take someone for granted means to take advantage of, show no appreciation for, or undervalue them.
24) Message boards : Server and website : Server unavailable (Message 56221) Posted 1 Jan 2021 by zombie67 [MM] Post: I understand there was a storage issue earlier. But I think that was fixed(?). So why is the site still unavailable intermittently throughout the day, every day? What is the problem?

26) Message boards : Number crunching : Anaconda Python 3 Environment v4.01 failures (Message 56039) Posted 17 Dec 2020 by zombie67 [MM] Post: I was running 7.9.3, which is what was in the default repository for mint. It had the other problem, with only 20 credits per task. Now I am running the version from ppa:costamagnagianfranco/boinc , which is version 7.16.14. This version had the permissions problem. The PrivateTmp=true change seems to have fixed the issue on the machines that have received work so far. Interesting to learn that all linux installations do it as a service install. I thought that caused a problem with GPU crunching? Maybe that is only for windows? Or maybe I am thinking of something else? In any case, good to know.

28) Message boards : Number crunching : Anaconda Python 3 Environment v4.01 failures (Message 56035) Posted 17 Dec 2020 by zombie67 [MM] Post: I just read through this whole thread, and I am still not clear what changes I need to make to fix the permissions error. FWIW, I have the regular BOINC installation, not a service installation. Which file do I need to edit? What changed do I make to that file? TIA! Apply this modification: Extracted from post by ServicEnginIC (https://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=5204&nowrap=true#55988 I executed the stated command: sudo systemctl edit boinc-client.service And I added to the file the suggested lines: [Service] PrivateTmp=true A reboot is recommended after applying this change. (Or at the least, restart the boinc-client service) Thanks. I wan't sure that applied to my situation, since my installation is not a service installation. And those instructions included "service". I added the lines, assuming I figured out the editor correctly. I know only vi. Anyway, just waiting for new tasks to try out now.
29) Message boards : News : Experimental Python tasks (beta) (Message 56033) Posted 17 Dec 2020 by zombie67 [MM] Post: they were working fine on your 2080ti system when you had 7.17.0. why change it? but the issue you're having now looks like the same issue that richard was dealing with here: https://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=5204 that thread has the steps they took to fix it. it's a permissions issue. That was a kludge. There is no such thing as 7.17.0. =;^) Once I verified that the newer version worked, I updated all my machines with the latest repository version, so it would be clean and updated going forward.

32) Message boards : News : Experimental Python tasks (beta) (Message 56019) Posted 16 Dec 2020 by zombie67 [MM] Post: A second, identical machine, except it has dual RTX 1660 Ti cards, finally got some work. The tasks reported and were awarded the large credits. So that rules out the question WRT BOINC version. FWIW, that version of BOINC is the latest available from the repository. So maybe it is due to interruptions after all, and I am just unaware? I am running some more tasks now, and will check again in the morning.
33) Message boards : News : Experimental Python tasks (beta) (Message 56016) Posted 15 Dec 2020 by zombie67 [MM] Post: you also appear to have your hosts setup to ONLY crunch these beta tasks. is there a reason for that? I have reached my wuprop goals for the other apps. So I am interested in only this particular app (for now). does your system process the normal tasks fine? maybe it's something going on with your system as a whole. Yep, all the other apps run fine, both here and on other projects.
34) Message boards : News : Experimental Python tasks (beta) (Message 56014) Posted 15 Dec 2020 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Over-crediting? I am seeing the opposite problem. https://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=31902208 20.83 credits for 4.5 hours of run time on an RTX 2080 Ti. That is practically nothing. And this is not a one-off. All my tasks so far are similar. this happens when the task is interrupted. started and resumed. you can't interrupt these tasks at all. I'll check that out. But I have not suspended or otherwise interrupted any tasks. Unless BOINC is doing that without my knowledge. But I don't think so.
35) Message boards : News : Experimental Python tasks (beta) (Message 56008) Posted 15 Dec 2020 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Two outstanding issues are over-crediting (I am using some default BOINC formula) and, as far as i understand, the flops estimate (?). Over-crediting? I am seeing the opposite problem. https://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=31902208 20.83 credits for 4.5 hours of run time on an RTX 2080 Ti. That is practically nothing.

36) Message boards : News : Acemd3 restart on windows possibly fixed (Message 52800) Posted 7 Oct 2019 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Only two of the three windows apps were updated, cuda92 & cuda101 Why not the cuda100 app too?
37) Message boards : News : More Acemd3 tests (Message 52738) Posted 28 Sep 2019 by zombie67 [MM] Post: There are two different gt1030's. One is significantly slower than the other else they are identical. The newer versions are crippled. I was wondering if the pair you have together are matched. Just a guess as that could cause unexpected timing values if the apps simply checks the name and does not bother to recalculate parameters. These two 1030s are identical. Same brand and model, bought at the same time. It seems like a clue, that only the CUDA 100 tasks fail, and not the CUDA 101. Note, another of my machines has a single, identical 1030 (also purchased at the same time). It does fail either 101 or 100. Perhaps there is something about CUDA 100 and dual-card machines. Just a guess.
38) Message boards : News : More Acemd3 tests (Message 52732) Posted 27 Sep 2019 by zombie67 [MM] Post: FWIW, my single machine with two GPUs will successfully process CUDA 101 tasks, but fail on CUDA 100 tasks. My other three machines with a single GPU will successfully process both CUDA 101 and CUDA 100 tasks.
39) Message boards : Number crunching : New app update (acemd3) (Message 51972) Posted 3 Jun 2019 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Recent changes: * sent 100 more test wus * deprecated the windows "acemd3" app * made acemd3 as beta * fixed its name in prefs 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.
40) Message boards : Number crunching : New app update (acemd3) (Message 51942) Posted 30 May 2019 by zombie67 [MM] Post: 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.
