Posted 3 Apr 2015 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi, I'm having issues as well. Are any of you getting any GPU jobs at all? Linux jobs is what I'm mostly interested in ;) Having issues with AstroPulse v. 7.04 as well, but this is another matter ;) Please let me know if and when you are receiving jobs for the GPU's. I'm testing a version 2 of my Linux cruncher ;) Kind Regards, Dan |

Posted 13 Nov 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi Bilbg, Upload jobs when done, right away, rather than wait until all the downloaded jobs are done Can't remember which version it was. 7.0.xx Maybe it's this, not sure.. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/VersionHistory Fix: Various changes to CPU and GPU scheduling and work-fetch. Sorry if I expressed myself badly... Anyway, I got my answer ;) |

Posted 10 Nov 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi Alexander ;) Thanks for your help!! Yes, the system seems to run right now. The site is anyway. But I'm still having problems getting work and uploading work. Actually I've been wondering about this. Since the system was changed to continuously uploading of completed jobs there has been issues. Could it be because of the increased number of "server contacts" e.g. "project update", "work uploads" etc. etc.??? I'll give it a few days and then we'll see how things goes. Thanks for the help ;) 550 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:50:54 Project has no tasks available 549 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:50:54 Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 548 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:50:52 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 547 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:50:52 Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 546 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:50:42 Project has no tasks available 545 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:50:42 Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 544 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:50:40 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 543 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:50:40 Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 542 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:50:36 update requested by user 541 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:49:24 Project has no tasks available 540 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:49:24 Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 539 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:49:22 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 538 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:49:22 Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 537 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:49:12 Project has no tasks available 536 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:49:12 Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 535 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:49:11 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 534 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:49:11 Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 533 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:49:10 update requested by user 532 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:48:36 Project has no tasks available 531 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:48:36 Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 530 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:48:34 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 529 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:48:34 Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 528 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:48:24 Project has no tasks available 527 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:48:24 Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 526 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:48:23 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 525 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:48:23 Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 524 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:48:20 update requested by user 523 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:40:40 Project has no tasks available 522 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:40:40 Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 521 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:40:39 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 520 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:40:39 Reporting 1 completed tasks 519 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:40:39 Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 518 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:40:36 Finished upload of ps_141020_326089_6_2_0 517 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:40:24 Started upload of ps_141020_326089_6_2_0 516 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 16:40:22 Computation for task ps_141020_326089_6_2 finished

Posted 10 Nov 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi, I'm having a lot of issues attaching new systems to Asteroid@ !? Existing systems has a lot of "download errors" and on a new system which I'm trying to connect/attach to project right now, has issues as well. I've been trying to read about it, but I can't. The website/forum halts. I succeeded in making a post here, so the servers/the site can't be completely off the grid. Anyone who can tell me if there's some kind of system update going on?? ;) 244 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 06:04:08 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 243 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 06:04:08 Reporting 9 completed tasks 242 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 06:04:08 Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 241 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 06:04:06 update requested by user 240 SETI@home 10-11-2014 05:43:10 Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 239 SETI@home 10-11-2014 05:43:08 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 238 SETI@home 10-11-2014 05:43:08 Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 237 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:41:04 Starting task ps_141020_326060_4_1 236 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:41:04 Starting task ps_141020_326060_3_1 235 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:41:04 Finished download of libcudart.so.5.5 234 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:39 Giving up on download of input_325549_6: permanent HTTP error 233 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:37 Started download of input_325549_6 232 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:37 Giving up on download of input_325583_2: permanent HTTP error 231 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:35 Started download of input_325583_2 230 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:35 Giving up on download of input_325645_2: permanent HTTP error 229 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:33 Started download of input_325645_2 228 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:33 Giving up on download of input_325649_1: permanent HTTP error 227 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:31 Started download of input_325649_1 226 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:31 Giving up on download of input_325763_2: permanent HTTP error 225 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:29 Started download of input_325763_2 224 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:29 Giving up on download of input_325816_4: permanent HTTP error 223 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:27 Started download of input_325816_4 222 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:27 Giving up on download of input_325816_7: permanent HTTP error 221 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:23 Started download of input_325816_7 220 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:23 Giving up on download of input_326028_2: permanent HTTP error 219 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:21 Started download of input_326028_2 218 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:21 Giving up on download of input_326033_5: permanent HTTP error 217 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:19 Started download of input_326033_5 216 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:19 Finished download of input_326060_4 215 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:16 Started download of input_326060_4 214 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:16 Finished download of input_326060_3 213 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:14 Started download of input_326060_3 212 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:40:14 Finished download of period_search_10112_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__cuda55 211 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:39:58 Started download of libcudart.so.5.5 210 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:39:58 Started download of period_search_10112_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__cuda55 209 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:39:56 Scheduler request completed: got 11 new tasks 208 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:39:00 Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA 207 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:39:00 Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 206 10-11-2014 05:38:50 (to change preferences, visit a project web site or select Preferences in the Manager) 205 10-11-2014 05:38:50 max disk usage: 46.96GB 204 10-11-2014 05:38:50 max memory usage when idle: 3512.91MB 203 10-11-2014 05:38:50 max memory usage when active: 1951.62MB 202 10-11-2014 05:38:50 Preferences: 201 10-11-2014 05:38:50 Reading preferences override file 200 10-11-2014 05:38:50 General prefs: using separate prefs for work 199 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:38:50 Computer location: work 198 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:38:50 General prefs: from Asteroids@home (last modified 03-Oct-2014 11:22:00) 197 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:38:50 New computer location: work 196 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:38:50 Scheduler request completed 195 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:37:54 Not requesting tasks: don't need 194 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:37:54 Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 193 Asteroids@home 10-11-2014 05:37:53 update requested by user

Posted 19 Oct 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi Bilbg, Thanks for your reply. If you (everyone) have no tasks to work on - no wonder your (everyone) RAC go down. I think that when the systems are going to run more than 30 days without interruption, that the numbers will increase ;) . |

Posted 17 Oct 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi Yank, I've invested in several "larger" systems and I've just looked at the results for this one system. I've got 1200 "error while downloading" too!!! Is this only during download maybe? Or is it jobs which has been done? I know downloads is new jobs, but my jobs done has declined during the last month. This even though I added another new system/cruncher with additional GPU's ;) !?!? And it's not just one box, it's all of them. Have you heard anything???

Posted 24 Sep 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi EveningStarNM ;)
I started receiving new jobs today! And I haven't been changing anything, so it must have been an outsite problem. I've experienced very bad connection/long answer time to asteroid(at)home so it might be a national issue. Have you received any jobs7work now??? Hi Mikey, BilBg is telling you that IF you had read some of the other threads you would known that Asteroids has NO units AT ALL until Monday sometime. That means LEAVE IT ALONE and see if it comes back on later on, if not then you may need to reload Boinc. The home page has a 'server status' page, check it out, when there are lots of units do a manual update and see if yours works. I've been checking the forum to see if any threads were less than a day or two old, to look for news. I've been checking these as well: http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_forum.php?id=1 http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=357 I've been checking: http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/
Server maintenance There is going to be server maintenance on 09.09.2014 starting at 08:00 UTC. It will take approximately 30 hours. edit: The maintenance will be tommorow. Server problem this week (11.8.-17.8.2014) First, we are very sorry for this situation. Admin of Asteroids@home (Kyong) went on vacation. He will be back on Sunday 17.8.

Posted 22 Sep 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi, I know this is a stupid question, but I just can't find another reason. 3 computers has stopped crunching Asteroid jobs using the GPU's and all I did was change the port for SSH "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" and remote GUI in the boinc default client: "BOINC_OPTS="--allow_remote_gui_rpc --gui_rpc_port 31xxx". Any ideas? . |

Posted 12 Sep 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi, CPU: i5 haswell (4670K/3570K/3470) Kernel: Linux 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Numbers retrieved from BoincStats Does this sound right to you guys? AVX's runs 3 times faster than e.g. SSE2/SSE3's ? I'm comparing 3 machines, all of them using i5 CPU haswell(4670K/3570K/3470). One system is now running AVX's and gets a little hot and the other systems is running SSE2/SSE3's where the CPU temps is only 65 degrees Celsius. Never mind the heat, it's not more than 79-81 degrees Celsius on the "hot one". I just noticed this, because the mobo on this system controls the fanspeed and increases/decreases fanspeed all the time. So, does AVX's run 3 times as fast (does the job 3 times faster) as SSE2/SSE3's ??? Here's the numbers: System1: Estimated Time: 1:19:08 <---- AVX System2: Estimated Time: 2:15:50 <---- SSE2 System2: Estimated Time: 1:42:45 <---- SSE3 Computer: beaufort Project Asteroids@home Name ps_140901_211285_4_0 Application Period Search Application 102.10 (avx) Workunit name ps_140901_211285_4 State Running High P.

This is 4 jobs running at the same machine, and all 4 of them are AVX's. But 2 jobs will be done in 28-30 min. and the other 2 in 67-71 min. Here's one of each of them. Why the big difference if jobs are the same sizes.

Looks like the estimates changes for some jobs and not others. Anyway, it's the AVX's vs. SSE2/SSE3's and speed which is important here ;) How much time is saved running AVX ??? I've been reading this post http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=200#1826 and here's a guy who says 3-4 minutes only !?!? . |

Posted 18 Aug 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hello Crunchers ;) Info: Linux 14.04/12.10 Server Setup. Headless Multiple GPU CLI Boinc Systems. Just wanted to ask if the system is running again or if it's my bloody machine that's not working properly ;) Can jobs/CUDA be downloaded???? If everything works, can the reason then be, that my system is not properly set up. If the system is not set up correctly, will it then not receive jobs for CUDA crunching? I have received other jobs SETI (Not CUDA). The reason I ask, is that since I began fiddling with multiple GPU's I only receive non-CUDA jobs for SETI and only CUDA jobs for Asteroid. I'm only attached to 2 projects with 50% for each project. Is it that smart? Because my system is a standard set up, then SETI only receives the jobs it can solve and therefore receives CPU jobs. And then only CUDA jobs for Asteroid, because this is the only part that handles GPU jobs!?!? Have a nice day everyone ;) . |

Posted 26 Mar 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi Mikey, The other problem with your idea is you need to TRY running 2 gpu units at a time from your project before you actually settle in for the long term doing it. Some projects scale their gpu work based on your gpu, some don't. Some use ALOT of the onboard gpu resources for each unit, some don't. For those that use alot of gpu resources on one unit running multiple units will actually slow down the crunching as each unit fights for those limited resources. Your gpu's only have 1gb of ram on each, that may limit the total number of units you can run at once. Thanks you for that ;) I changed my next test system. Lets see how it goes.. Thanks again.. |

Posted 23 Mar 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi all ;) Thank you very much for helping me, but you are just to quick to me :o Maybe I should put it this way: Please show a sample of a app_info.xml which will help me crunching applications on seti@home and asteroids@home. Which applications, you will ask me of course... Those apps which will be the smartest to run on a 64bit system ;) As I said, I'm new to this - selecting which applications to run is a way to make my systems GPU's crunch jobs for seti@home as well. It's already running doing this for asteroids@home. No need for any configuration files there. Will you help me accomplish this? And if files are needed, where to download these. My system is a Linux system, Ubuntu Server 12.10 64bit with multiple Nvidia GPU's. CUDA 5.5 installed. Headless server and no GUI at all. Linux version 3.5.0-17-generic Boinc version 7.0.27 Why this old version when the newer 7.2.42 has been released? Because, when trying to install it from PPA/repository, I can't! When installing from ubuntu default repository, I get v.7.0.27 ;( http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=74347#1490818 How many units at a time?!?! Well, normally, the system decides this. The results are showing that they are not done as the setting is setup. 50% for seti and 50% for asteroid! But, I would like the system which will have 4 cores/CPU and 4 GPUS's to run it the same way. 2GPU's and 2CPU(cores) for seti@ and 2GPU's and 2CPU(cores) for asteroid@. Basically I just need SETI to use the GPU's as well. But I would like to configure my system to run 64bit applications only, if something is to gain this way. Sorry for the newbie questions guys! I am trying :o . |

Thanks for showing this to me. I was looking for info here. I did manage to get it to work though. Mr. Ageless actuaaly did tell me to look at the "wiki" instead! Thanks for the help: http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php?language=1&view=91 |

Posted 17 Mar 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi Swiftmallard ;) Thanks for setting me straight ;) The accept work for other applications selection is for other applications within the same project. But it is still a good idea to have a back-up project in mind. OK; I didn't know that. Thank you!! |

Posted 17 Mar 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi, 7.2.42 will report every hour. No need to use the flag, unless you can't hold on for one hour :-) OK, but then again, if my CPU normally uses 1.5 hour for a job and GPU's 2.5, a 3 hour update would be effective I think. No need for all that traffic, or what?? Maintenance!! As Dagorath put it so very well: "...maintenance happens, no sense whining about it, deal with it instead.." This is why there's a function "Do other work if non left for project", or something like that. ;) 7.2.42 will report every hour. No need to use the flag, unless you can't hold on for one hour :-) This setting is for Boinc in general, right? So it will be the same for SETI@home!? Sorry for the newbie question. Has been reading so much, I'm totally light headed :o Regarding BoincTasks and updates. What does it mean when the field "CPU%" goes red. Usually blue on green when running full speed. When I came home, all serves where running slow and the fiels "CPU% where red on green I think. It was red, this I'm sure of and they where running slowly. Is this because they haven't been able to communicate with the update servers? Or what can be the reason. Have looked at help on BoincTasks site! No red markings there!? There where jobs to do, so it can't be that. !? Have a nice one, all of you ;) |

Posted 17 Mar 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Maintenance happens, no sense whining about it, deal with it instead. "...these guys are serious guys, if it wasn't necessary, they wouldn't have done it.." I keep an extremely small cache and put "return results immediately" in a cc_config.xml in the BOINC data directory I like a big "switch between applications every" setting, at least 4 hours. It seems that way I get fewer tasks sitting there with only 30 minutes remaining. 1. Which flag do you use for uploading results ASAP? And will this not mean a lot of traffic for the update server/update servers? 2. Does it really change anything to change "switch between applications every" setting to a larger setting? My CPU's does most jobs in 1.5 hours and the GPU's in 2.5 hours.. Maybe changing the setting to 3 hours would be good for me!? Thanks for the tip! . |

Posted 16 Mar 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: I was not sure if it was Ubuntu or not it was the 1st time I ran this project on my Ubuntu Desktop running 7.2.42. It was not ;) And welcome to the Linux-party! BTW BoincTasks/BoincView will show you all your computers running Boinc. This is pretty nice, when you are using different platforms. I guess you know about this, just wanted to be sure ;) Have a nice one... . |

Posted 16 Mar 2014 by DanHansen@Denmark Post: Hi bcavnaugh ;) Yes, this is why.. The server is being updated and this means we can't deliver tasks which is done. We can't get new work either. But these guys are serious guys, if it wasn't necessary, they wouldn't have done it ;) Just try once in a while, and you'll see the server running again ;) BTW, your system will try to update automatically. If you are not using any scripts which does this in another way, the boinc-client/boinc-manager will try again and again ;) Have a nice one ;) . |
