Hello everyone,

We will be running server maintenance on June 1st, 2023 at 11:30 AM EDT.
...
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin, as I have already pointed out to Tom some time ago, it would be nice (atually great) if the time unit
is also noted/shown in UTC form.

Just an idea ....

What does the EVENT LOG say ?

Off topic, but if you have time and feel like it, try updating your Tesla driver ...
Just a thought ...

Hello, I just install the latest mac OS Ventura 13.3.1 ... and Milky Way just do nothing !?! Help. I throw away Boing and re -download it ... with no effect ??? Marc, Switzerland.

Double posting is useless.
You are here in the N-Body section.
But as I see it, you are having troubles with Separation.

Maybe you are better off (??) posting under
"Platform-specific problems" --> "Macintosh"
wich might raise more interest ?

Have you read the STDERR output ?
Do you have newest drivers and necessary new functions ?

Just a thought of mine --------------
Have a nice day

Probably (?) one of the 750Ti dying or losing interest to crunch?

After restarting everything is OK.
My GTX 275 needs a reboot every 3-4 weeks, like yesterday for example, otherwise it starts generating lots of errors, mostly (-6) CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY or sometimes something with the number (-30). It would still crunch Moo! without any issues in that condition, but it doesn't like those bundles here, so it messes up the loading of last 2-3 WUs out of the 5 we get here as a bundle.

Well, the 750 GPUs seem to be OK. Like you say a restart did it.
I will watch the time span that you mentioned.
Strange things happen in outer space.

So now the little old and shabby XP with the great and fast GTX750Tis (real 5 of them)
is again churning away happily.

So, anyway, many thanks for the tips.

cheers S-F-V


That's interesting as I also have 5+ 750Ti gpu's but mine are sitting on a shelf with no pc to put them in, I got them cheap, all but 1 are 1gb cards while the 1 has 2gb of onboard memory. I bought mine to put into a mining rig but the rig was too big for where I wanted to put it so I never used it.

Well, I have about 10 750s + 8 960s.
I'm using the ASUS Nvidia Strix 750TIs (all 4GB) on an ASROCK Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 board (of which I have 4 spares).
This board I like, because it has a "real" hardware FLOPPY connection.
Which I use to play around in VBox insatlling all the old OS2s and win3.1 and the whole lot of whatever. It's fun for me!!

Separation task takes about 11min on the 750s - so with 5 I get a nice throughput ... -- so who needs those expensive + big GPUs? ;-) ...
The are nice and quiet and don't get hot (never over 60C).

The ASUS GTX960s (4GB) are more or less all over the other rigs.

You really should consider upgrading to Window 10 at the least or a modern distro of Linux.

Windows XP is extremely old. Not saying it is the root cause of the errors, but it definitely could be.


In addition several Projects have stopped making apps that work with Windows XP and earlier meaning his choice of Project to use the gpu to crunch for.


+1

Yep - I choose my projects for my test rig using my own self-determined decision/will.
So it's basically somewhat fun for me to find out what "still" works or not!

I don't know if you noticed that I have eight (8) tiny rigs running on Win10?

This "test" XP is my little hobby - it works fine - since years.
Fast and nice.
I probably messed something up while trying out a few changes.
I reversed some of those "tuning" bits ...

So now the little old and shabby XP with the great and fast GTX750Tis (real 5 of them)
is again churning away happily.

Thanks for your help . Appreciate your time to look into the error reasons.

NO spoofing - never ever ...
The old lady has real 5 GPUs.
Option max_concurrent is nicely set to 5.
They have been runnung for weeks ok.
The driver I'm using is the newest/last one that supports XP.
Everything seems fine.
No overheating.
Memory is ok for both CPU + GPU.
CPUs are running way less than 100%.
Just the GPUs are at full 100% - which never had been a problem on all my rigs.

Have installed the latest XP supported driver several times - of course with "clean" install.
Probably (?) one of the 750Ti dying or losing interest to crunch?

After restarting everything is OK.
I noticed that the Internet connection had gone way down south ...
I'll keep an eye on it.

I'm completely at loss here - "nice" new feeling for me.
cheers

Hello ,
There's an error in the task code exec , i have been forced to cancel all my tasks and won't accept new tasks until you can ensure it's fixed.

Greetings

... nice posting !
what kind of error ?
what forces you to cancel them ?

my GPU separation tasks are doing fine - except for the ones running at the moment on my old gtx750Ti !
for some reason they are getting "computation error"

cheers

Just my unprofessional thought:

This (really no) problem has been discussed in several other threads.
Try "News" --> "New N-Body Runs" ...

Keep your queue small - then you won't get timeouts.

Be patient - all crunching is important and worth it.

Zero SEPARATION tasks today (04.Apr.23) available.

We had the same situation on 30.Mar.23 !

Crunched 10,000 tasks in 3 days ?

The server speed is a pain ...

As already said before:
The kick is no go, since the admins feet are still hurting from last time ...
Parience is needed ...
Have you all a nice day!
