And again more then 5 hour unreachable site and huge waste of process time.

Please stop feeder and clean up purge the DB.

Lets start fresh empty DB without validation queues ...

Hi Sebastian*

I have some think similar like your problem when I run cosmology what ever project used GPU WUs hang. I cant find what cause this so I leave to run cosmology. My pc have win10 and install latest drivers (1 amd 270x and 1 NVidia 750TI).

Hi everyone,

does anyone experience similar problems as i do?

Hardware, i7 3930k, not overclocked, Asus Rampage 4 Formular, 16GB 2133 memory and one R9 280X from Asus.

about 2 weeks ago, the connected display goes black when running Milkyway@home, and the computer still seems to run. When i am connected from another PC to this one via the Boinc Client, Milkyway is still runnging, but all the tasks are stuck.

I run 4 GPU-WUs at the same time, using the app_config.xml file.

Milkyway is running alongside Cosmology@home, which only uses the CPU.

I switched the GPU (with the same model), changed the Power supply Unit and completely reinstalled Windows 10. Still the same problem.

It worked all fine until 2 weeks ago, and i didn't change a thing.

When i run games on this computer, there are no problems either.

I will try the 16.10.3 hofix driver now, but my hopes are very low.

Does anybody know the cause of this problem? Or has experienced something familiar?

Computer with the problem:

Thank you all for answers.

Hi Jake,

You need to think about a maintenance period like Seti@home for clean up and purge validating tasks.
"SETI@home is temporarily shut down for maintenance. Please try again later."

When you do this we know that day we switch sub projects and Milkyway running smoothly after maintenance process.

Appreciate for your efforts and waiting good news.

Thanks for your response and happy to hear NSF funding again. Waiting more responsive project from now on :) And also waiting N-body running on GPUs to see the scientific results.

I notices some think if run 1 wu per GPU it is used %1-5 CPU but run 2 wu per GPU it is used %11-15 CPU for each wu. Anyone saw something like this ? What cause high CPU usage ?

Validation process going high every hour.
"Workunits waiting for validation 2,607,205"

I hope DB not corrupt and our process time not going waste also project findings...

Maybe Jack stop sending WUs 1-2 hour every day and clear up the waiting validation WUs. And inform us for switching projects temporally at that time.

I didn't realise many folk only ran one project.

And WCG was listed in the BOINC list as for AMD, so I signed up. I assume they'll get GPU work eventually?


Last 2 years no GPU work at WorldCommuntyGrid and I don't think soon. Poem project shutdown, GPUGrid only for highend Nvidia GPUs, Einstein@home left only one GPU application, Primegrid and collatz working but I don't interested them at all.

I hope database not getting error "Workunits waiting for validation
2,132,479" and growing.

Hey Everyone,

I tried setting the delay after a database error to 15 minutes. Can anyone confirm this is working as intended?

Jake


I will try to monitor new setting I hope it will working.

Feedback for today: varying between database errors, no tasks available and getting plenty of tasks.


same for me too. Getting some and one minute later again start to count 60 minutes. Boinc change the secondary projects and get more units then milkyway, so after 60 minutes boinc not get new wus from milky cause it has a lot of wus from other projects.

@Jake Weiss
You really think about WU length. Maybe merge 5-10 wu as a one WU. I know its need real programing problems but SQL getting relax. And when I look server statistics a lot of wu waiting for validation. Maybe because of validation queue sql cant responds.

I hope you will find a solution soon.

I think after shutdown news from Poem and A@H stop GPU projects and also GPUgrid projects not support old and low level GPUs a lot of boinc user comes here for crunching GPU WUs. So system become overloading and servers can not manage this kind of requests.

I think managers try to re-arrange the WU lengths and gets a little bit long WUs. MY old GPU finished 1 WU nearly 33 seconds. Maybe more complex wus with longer calculation times relaxes the servers especially SQL bottlenecks.

I don't like but I need to change project priorities and start to crunch prime number, collatz and asteroids as secondary projects. Don't say SETI I give up crunching it from 1999.

DDU looked normal installation directories and registry entries but I look manually at registry find a lot of different entry for amd driver. I think those coming from MS auto driver installation.

today new Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14936 starting download, I hope I am not getting problems again :)

I did a clean install on the Win 10 computer with the r9 390X. Installed the 16.9.2 (21st of september) driver.

I still get the same problem. Driver crashes, and the WU which cause the crash at 100% gets stuck. Restarting just boinc only lets the WUs start from 0% but they are not running.

Vortac, which driver are you using on Win7 for Boinc?

An all my 7970s or 280X GPU don't get work any longer. The Milkyway server has 1150 WUs available currently. The 390X gets work instantly, but with the error mentioned above.

New computer ID for the PC, because of the clean install.

Hi Sebastian
I have similar problem before cause I am using insider preview build don't use amd latest beta fix driver. Use 16.7.3 whql one driver. And before install it, uninstall it from control panel and don't restart use DDU uninstaller its reboot safemode and clean remaining parts and restart. After that install the 16.7.3 I hope this is help.

Rymorea,

Thanks for the feedback. There are plenty of work units available, unsure why you aren't being assigned any. Check back in an hour or so and let me know if you got any work units over the hour.

Jake


everthing ok now. I stop projects and close boinc first and then restart. Wus start to coming.

Thanks for your efforts.
