Message 57073 - Posted: 29 Jan 2013, 22:22:11 UTC

I have released a version of the nbody binaries to address the large work unit sizes and errors with checkpoint files. Jake will be starting some runs to test the the values generated. I am looking into addressing the issue with threads on windows 64 bit systems.

I have released a version of the nbody binaries to address the large work unit sizes and errors with checkpoint files. Jake will be starting some runs to test the the values generated. I am looking into addressing the issue with threads on windows 64 bit systems.

Is this app supposed to be

1) Multithreaded?
2) CPU only?

You (or your BOINC Administrator) have defined Linux OpenCL plan_classes for "amd_ati" and "nvidia" - again.

And no MT plan_classes, for any platform, yet.

I updated the signature file it is verifying with the public key can you test via the interface again.

I will work with the admin to get the the plan classes populated.

All the nbody binaries are compiled against openmp to be multithreaded.

... can you test via the interface again.

Will do, but can you ask Jake to (re-)submit a batch of tasks, please? I think all last night's must have errored out and emptied the pool.

It's OK - managed to get some resends, and the app has downloaded properly. But from WU 297041595, it appears that the validator thinks that

-inf

is different from

-1.#INF00000000000

I will get Jake to start a new run.

And look at that work unit.

Thank you

Have a look at WU 296570890 while you're at it.

Four successful returns: two 'inf', two '-1.#INF00000000000' - and all four still inconclusive.

All 5 of my 1.06s failed on startup with -1073741511 (0xffffffffc0000139) Unknown error number
I was going to try a project reset in case the new ones had missed something in the download but I've got a couple of ordinary 1.00s running so won't be able to reset for a couple of hours until they've finished.

I am seeing these being returned. Only on windows clients, I am checking the files to make sure the support dlls are coming down with the exe.

Thank you

Rcvd 5 n-body (s) and all of them went "computation error"

<core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
- exit code -1073741511 (0xc0000139)

this is the STDERR output for one of them. Same for all 5

Message 57097 - Posted: 31 Jan 2013, 9:45:40 UTC - in response to Message 57094.  

Did the reset just now and got 3 more (estimates of 40s - 40hrs) and got the same error.
The accompanying downloads were:

libgomp_64-1_nbody_1.06.dll
pthreadGC2_64_nbody_1.06.dll
milkyway_nbody_1.06_windows_x86_64__mt.exe

Is that what you expect or should there be something else?

OK, some suggestions. Error 0xc0000139 is 'Entry point not found' - usually a DLL error, but more likely a wrong version rather than a completely missing DLL.

I've just tried reactivating host 479865. The new DLLs downloaded correctly, and the first task ran OK. But...

Checking with Process Explorer, I found that the application was using copies of

libgomp_64-1.dll (48,128 bytes)
pthreadGC2_64.dll (49,664 bytes)

which I had downloaded manually and placed in the project directory when the relaunch of NBody was announced - my copies are dated 13 November 2012

When I removed these manual downloads, and tried using the 1.06 versions of the files - 49,152 bytes and 49,152 bytes respectively (??? identical size - suspicious) - the app failed with a 0xc0000139 error.

Ah - the two DLLs are binary identical, according to FC. Finger-fumble with the copying/versioning process?

I pulled the original files from the Windows Development box they have the same size on disk due to block sizes but differ running diff to verify. I am currently replacing them on the server and updating the signatures. I will stop the current run and start a new one after I test they are going out correctly.

Just did another reset to force download of the new/old dlls and all seems to be working fine again.
I missed the estimate of the first one that finished in one minute but of those I've paid attention to so far;
1+3/4 hour estimate finished in 2 mins
4+1/2 hour estimate finished in 6 mins
8 hour estimate finished in 8 mins
10+1/4 hour estimate finished in 10 mins
10+1/2 hour estimate finished in 12 mins
No rouge, huge estimates and ticks down rather than up.

A 113 hour estimate just in. Estimate ticks up between progress steps but drops at each progress update. If there is a similar initial overestimate of c.60X then I expect this to finish after 113mins rather than 113Hours which would sit about right compared to the Wingman's faster machine finishing in 89 mins.

The functions that calculate the estimates of time are based on the space having a large number of calculations. In some of the extreme parameters we are sweeping over there may be less calculations in this space. As these results come back the server will target more relevant space and the actual calculations will go up.

Should the corrected dlls be going out with any new WUs or are people who got the faulty ones now stuck with them until they either reset the project (as I did to get the corrected dlls as shown in the posts below) or 1.07 is issued? The reason I ask is after looking at my only invalid task. All others who got that WU errored out, voiding the WU. One wingman there who got the task after me presumably still has the faulty dlls so errored out, but he has over 1000 errors with 1.06.

They will need to reset at this point.

Pushing a 1.07 isn't happening right now.

Does resetting the project cause me to lose all previous results/data?
