Please see the thread here: https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=4732&postid=70953#70953

I am testing a new validator that should fix these problems. I hope to roll it out early next week.



Hello Tom
I think it is still not fixed. After pushing my new computer (id 825437 ), 15 inconclusive for 1 valid !

Best regards

Mickey,
I not understand. once you say you want to use both GPU and once you speak about overheat !!!
Milky use about one core from your CPU. So it can not produce overheat.
If you run at same time other CPU project, it is logical that overheat comes.

By the way, you not crunch on Milky already 5 days. Are you sure your question is on the right place ?
You speak about laptop. Is it your i7-3612QM under Win10 , IntelGraphic HD4000, who was the latest seen on 30 april !?
All seem to be unclear !
Best regards. Take care, stay at home






Is there a reason why no one has created an app for Intel graphics. Seems like there are a lot of them out there to take advantage of.

Very weak double precision performance, AFAIK.


Also heat, at the projects they do work at most people use their laptops and the heat can kill a laptop.

Hello Tom
Thank you for update.
It is not a so big problem at our side, because they crashs atfter 1 or 2 seconds.
It was more problem if they crash a few second before end of crunch
Have a nice day.
Best regards

PS, if you have cold, ask wertern europe.... we will send you "degrees" for free !
In Belgium, in the latest two centuries, the first time we reach such temperature.
To compare in Egypt summer (now and also the highest temperature).
It is warmer here than in the desert of Egypt at Abou-Simbel temple ! "Only 39°C"
So it is fully normal if you see less returned results. We preserve our hosts

JStateSon,
I think more some bad series than a problem of old GPU.
A Radeon RX580 is not a old stuff !

I will let finish all I have (about 2 hours if no error), waiting the next serie download

Best regards





I thought this was fixed after reading the post under news quote: "Thanks for bringing that to my attention, none of the runs are returning data. I'll try to fix that as soon as I can."

I did get about 100-200 w/o error but this morning I see another 253 errored out and 212 more waiting to error out.

Compounding the problem is that Einstein coincidently has a series of bad runs that affect older GPUs like my S9000 boards

[EDIT] only a few more errored out. Looks like there are just a few of the bad ones left Out of those 253 "waiting" only about 5 were bad and I now have over 500 downloaded and do not see any more errors.

Thanks for the fix.

Hello Marmot. Thank you.

Fixed by a other way. Similar.
The problem is not the download itself. The problem is that Windows, not do it because "publisher not verified).
See https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=4416&postid=68358#68358

And to be sure , I also make a restore of the latest file before server upgrade.

Why marsinphphphphphphphphph ?
Because the repetition I sometimes use with "!" or "?" ?
9) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Project download error (Message 68358)
Posted 23 Mar 2019 by Profile Marsinph
Post:
Hello,
the same for me !
But : a solution :
go to download directory of project.
Download manually. Perhaps you will receive a security alert about "publisher can not be verified ".
Trust it. Unblock file(s) with file properties.
Then copy it to project directory and manually "run as admin"....
Restart BOINC (not a reset project because it will delete all).

Hello
I think all is in title !
All is downloaded, also the 10 WU.
Only milkyway_1.46_windows_x86_64__opencl_ati_101.exe:can not be downloaded
It looks like the file is not more available on project.
But it is? I could find it in download directory. The only I receive an alert because certificate invalid and not trusted
Manual download and copy to project. Nothing change also after restart BOINC

Any idea ?

Hello,
Not search ahead,
I found the solution on a other forum.
In fact it is only to change a "zero" to a "one" in config file.
Default Boinc use the most powerfull GPU, and not use the other.
I not speak about SLi or Crossfire setting, but two fully differents GPU
Sorry

Hello
My previous GTX1060 runs perfect.
I added a GTX950 (see below)
My two GPU are installed, detected in BAM,
But look at line 8: ....GPU not used....
Why ?
What do I wrong ?
I also use "BAM" and "Synchro with BoincStatsBAM
I not see soething about GPU use-age, well CPU.
The only strange is the first line of the report here below.

Thank you Jake.
But i expect a lot of problem when all will start again normally.
I think there will be million of WU who will be reported at the same time.
I hope it will not crash the server.
In fact, the limitation of 80WU is not a bad idea.
Already one day, all my WU are finished and unable to get any new
I understand, sometimes it is needed to make a big clean.
For sure for DB.
Thanks for update.

Hello,
Like Crashtech says,
During maintenance it is really needed to increasde WU !
Now, I also understand limitation of 80 WU/hot or GPU to prevent some "ghosts" to take a lot of WU who will never be crunched.
But also o prevent server overload.
Till now, the deadline is about 12 days.
Increasing the delay, is perhaps not a good idea. This to prevent not returned WU (for sure for host who runs CPU's WU
For the next two days it is challenge on FormulaBoinc. I see on server status no any problem. On friday 31 august 16:15 UTC, there are about 400,000 WU "in progresse. Considering 80WU / host (CPU and or GPU), it seem to be about max 5,000 hosts.
So why not to increase WU limitation ?
On my best host, I run all task in about 5 hours (with a little GPU)
Admin knowns server capacity.
Best regads to everyone from Belgium first team
