1) Message boards : News : New Poll Regarding GPU Application of N-Body (Message 70990)
Posted 21 Jul 2021 by DJStarfox
Post:
When you say it's not much faster than a CPU, do you mean single-core CPU vs single GPU? Or do you mean an 8 or 12 thread CPU vs a 512 CUDA Core GPU? Because N-Body can scale itself to multiple threads, and I image the CPU also uses all CUDA cores on a GPU....

About 1 out of 4 nBody WU are failing with this error. Any idea what's wrong?

I'm still receiving the GLIBC version missing error with this new modified fit app.
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=837904404

So, looks like the compile for modified fit didn't work right....

The recent nBody app is working though.

Sounds great. I will test out the new version. In the meantime, the feeder is "not running", so i cannot get any work.

Thanks. I'm running Centos 6.5 x86_64 with glibc 2.12.

My developer skills are rusty at the moment, but I'll see if I can find time this weekend to compile the code.

Both the latest Modified Fit app and the N-Body app fail on every WU due to this error:
../../projects/milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway/milkyway_nbody_1.42_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__mt: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ../../projects/milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway/milkyway_nbody_1.42_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__mt)

Therefore, I can no longer run any Milkyway applications. :(

Sorry, but if you do not fix, I must detach from this project.

Posted 8 Oct 2013 by DJStarfox
Post:
This application (like many before it) is accessing /home and being denied by SELinux. Please re-program your application to not access /home. Otherwise, it results in computation error.

FYI,

This has happened since version 1.24:

And previously with nBody:

Any word on this at all?

I cannot run any modified fit tasks until this is fixed. I think statically linking the glibc version GLIBC_2.14 will fix it.

Posted 12 Jul 2013 by DJStarfox
Post:
If version 1.30 was just release, why is there a version 1.32 in the downloads folder? Should I use 1.32 or 1.30 for linux x86_64?

Edit: I use the app_info.xml anonymous platform for this project.

Post:
This binary is accessing my /home folder again, and it's being denied by SELinux. This causes the task to crash.

This was a problem before with the regular separation binaries, but you had fixed it there. Guess you should compare source code or something.

Does this explain why I was given so much credit for a few workunits earlier? I posted about it, but no one has shed any light on the observation.
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=3277

NOTE: All those WU have been deleted from the server. However, if you look at my credit, you'll see my MW credits more than doubled in 1 day. This was due to completing a single WU.

Edit: I'm also reading about credit system problems from June. Perhaps something is going on with the credit system?

Post:
In the project preferences, there are two separation applications! How do we know which is which?

You could just do what malariacontrol.net does. They have applications alongside "beta" applications (with same name, just plus "beta"). Users can run either or both alongside the regular app.

To start, see this thread for a sample app_info.xml file to create.
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=2301

Not sure on the GPU limits. You could research how to modify the app_info.xml file to do what you want from this link. I believe the parameter you're looking for is "coproc".

I'm getting excessive credit since the new version of nBody 1.18 starting running. For example, this WU gave me 37741 credits; normally it's 350 or so.

Thank you Jeff. I will download some workunits tonight and let you know if there's any problem.

I agree. Statically link it, or I'm not going to be able to run the latest n-body application.

Post:
I'm getting SELINUX errors because the nbody application is trying to access /home. No, I will not disable SELINUX. Your application should not access my filesystem outside its working directory.

Edit:
The real problem is that it says it requires GLIB 2.14. I have libc.so.6, but I guess it's not the right version.
