So can we expect WUs for AMD cards? | |

So can we expect WUs for AMD cards? It's something that this new app will help us develop, yes. Matt | |

Both Betas went to the same user. That's quite a finite testing methodology. Might take a while to get round everyone though... | |

* why do we need it? Almost all of our application development is now done in Python. This app will give us a way to reliably deploy and execute our software on GPUGRID volunteers' computers by providing a uniform, known Python environment Is there anything in particular we need to have installed on our linux machines? Is python already installed by default in linux distributions? ____________ Reno, NV Team: SETI.USA | |

Python distributions and packaging are what's technically known as a catastrophe. We have to deploy our own stand-alone environment to have any hope of getting a reliable base to work from. | |

Ah. So this will be run in a VM? We will need vbox installed? I am trying to understand what is required for the user to install to allow this to work. ____________ Reno, NV Team: SETI.USA | |

Interesting. Also allowed this project in my prefs. Python 3 already previously installed (but not Anaconda distrib) because required by some apps... Waiting... ____________ Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS x64 | |

AFAIK you don't need anything installed. Conda ships it's own python so that we can be consistent and not use the one the user/OS has installed which might be different versions / broken etc. | |

Because there were some WUs and test with them have been done. Apparently no further tests are needed at the moment, otherwise there'd be new WUs. | |

Because there were some WUs and test with them have been done. As usual, it seems to me a "paper launch". How many Android wus have you seen? How many OpenCl? Quantum Chemistry? Anaconda?? | |

Way back late July there was word of a new app for Pascal to take advantage of the new GTX 10x0 GPUs once Cuda 8 was released. Here's the Admin and Moderator messages stating that they're waiting for NVidia and CUDA v8.5: https://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=4341&nowrap=true#44342 http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=4341&nowrap=true#44652 Seriously though the project can't even provide enough work to keep the current GPUs busy... | |

Seriously though the project can't even provide enough work to keep the current GPUs busy... That's not true. There was no significant workunit shortage in the past months. However there was just enough to feed the active hosts. Ironically, since your post Stefan announced the CASP batch, which will provide plenty of short and long workunits as well. | |

Seriously though the project can't even provide enough work to keep the current GPUs busy... Actually there was. It's good to have the CASP WUs. I've had 3 so far. On a modest GTX 670, the short 1ns took only 7 minutes. The longest type (50ns) took 6 hours. | |

7 minutes on a gtx 670.. Wow that's pretty impressive! How long do the long tasks take you on the gtx 670? | |

7 minutes on a gtx 670.. Wow that's pretty impressive! How long do the long tasks take you on the gtx 670? SDOERR_CASP times: GTX 670: 1ns about 7 minutes, 5ns about 35 minutes, 20ns about 2.5 hours, 50 ns about 6 hours. GTX 750Ti: 1ns about 9.5 minutes, 5ns about 47 minutes, 20ns about 3 hours, 50ns about 8.5 hours. | |

Given there's no news whatsoever on Cuda 8.5 (Beta / RC / Release), what is it that's in Cuda 8.5 that's not in Cuda 8? Is it because of Visual Studio / Cuda bugs? I'm assuming there's still massive underlying issues in the code that don't allow a Pascal GRID App to be released / tested. Apparently one has to join the Accelerated Computing Developer Program of Nvidia to get access to the next CUDA Toolkit version. https://developer.nvidia.com/accelerated-computing-developer That is why we don't find any information in the web so far. Upcoming specs, features and hotfixes of Version 8.5 are provided to registered members only. That would be my guess. Just feel kinda helpless having 22TFLOPS of GPU grunt sitting here idle (as I'm sure many others do too). I was hoping to upgrade my setup to incorporate several externally linked GTX1080 / Titan GPUs to assist with this project (and also double as an Iray rendering server for me) definitely going ahead with that plan if we can get a steady flow of Pascal WUs happening at some stage. +1 Same here. One 1070 and one 1080 sitting idle. But it can't be helped. ____________ I would love to see HCF1 protein folding and interaction simulations to help my little boy... someday. | |

Just feel kinda helpless having 22TFLOPS of GPU grunt sitting here idle (as I'm sure many others do too). Unfortunately I can't answer any of your questions, but would be interested in the answers too. My GTX1060 was doing POEM, which I consider a good substitute for GPU-Grid. However, they just quit because they've calculated everything they needed BOINC for by now.. so I wnet to Folding@Home. It doesn't count towards BOINc credits, but it works very well and is (IMO) good science, which might appeal to anyone interested in GPU-Grid too. BTW: this thread is about the Python Runtime. The "GPU-Grid on Pascal" thread is currently right next to it in the news forum.. please continue the discussion there. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 | |

Three months are gone and I never saw a WU.This project is CUDA based, so you can use NVidia cards here. There is an AMD app, but the work for these cards is scarce. | |

Three months are gone and I never saw a WU. All of your 100m credit is from the 680s which are nvidia cards. The AMD portion of this project very limited | |

And once again...........The project is wasting my time and money. 100% failure rate is not acceptable.I have negligible failure rate, and I think others have same experiences, in the other case this forum would be flooded by complaints like yours (just as it happened earlier). It is easier to help you if you specify your failures more precisely (especially when you have multiple hosts). Perhaps while you are doing it you could even find the clue yourself. Now I've checked your tasks on your hosts. I think you are referring to your host #189416 (i7-970, 3x GTX 770). All of the failed tasks come from GPU 1 (the middle card). This card reaches 80°C (176°F), but there are tasks which fail on that card even at 74°C (165°F). It could be that this card has some kind of failure. I would separate this card, and test it with different tools like furmark. I would also check the all power connectors (PCIe, CPU, 24-pin MB) for burn marks in this PC. The topmost card in this host reaches 87°C (189°F), which is too high. Your GTX 780Ti's are also quite hot (and have some failures) in your other hosts. If you see # The simulation has become unstable. Terminating to avoid lock-up (1) messages in the stderr output of your tasks after a couple minutes of crunching, these are most probably the sign of a too hot, too much overclocked, or other way failing card (stripes or other artifacts on the screen); in some cases this is a sign of a failing PSU.If you see this message in the output of a workunit after 5000 steps (= it fails immediately or in a very short time after start), this is a misconfigured workunit, but in this case not much of your resources are wasted. | |
