With the lack of available AP tasks I re-enabled downloading MB tasks and on some of my hosts I am getting errors for the MB tasks.
They all have the same app_info.xml created using the Lunatics v0.40 installer. Any hints were to look for why things only die on some of the hosts?

" SSE41 " ?

in the file name.

Hidden computers and cryptic responses.

Oh dear.

Sorry,I meant in the APP INFO , theare a couple of lines which read

<file_name>AK_v8b2_win_x64_SSE41.exe</file_name>

I think it should possibly be SSE 4.1 or something similar.( whatever matches the actual file name in his BOINC/SETI data file)
I use SSE3 in my APP INFO.

Hope that helps. :)

The file name is correct for that SSE4.1 application, though with the computers hidden there's no way to tell that version was a usable choice for a particular system. The AKv8b2 applications quit immediately if you try to run them on hardware which doesn't match what was targeted, and that seems the most likely reason for 1 second runtimes with no output file.

The quote in the thread title is probably not related, it can happen simply because the server was trying to fulfill a GPU work request and the app_info.xml truly doesn't have a usable GPU application for setiathome_enhanced work.

                                                                  Joe

It is also suspicious that all the Wu's shown having problems were in slot 5, perhaps that slot isn't getting cleared properly,
But it's inpossible to tell as the O/P has his computers hidden, and no one can tell if he's producing some good results:

The log snippetes are from host http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6623971

This is happening on about 25 of 50 machines that all have the same app_info.xml. The other 25 are getting MB tasks and successfully completing work.

I hid the computers because when they were unhidden we were getting "attacked" a lot but sites in China.

As far as I know there is no information displayed to the world on un-hidden computers that could be used in any sort of "attack". We cannot see ip addresses or computer names, only the owner can.

An AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6136 doesn't have SSE4.1, it does have SSE4a, that app will likely not work. (i say likely because i recently tested an experimental SSE4.2 app that worked on my SSE4.1 C2D T8100)

Opteron 6100-series "Magny-Cours" (45 nm)
All models support: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4a, Enhanced 3DNow!, NX bit, AMD64, Cool'n'Quiet, AMD-V (SVM & Rapid Virtualization Indexing), HT-Assist
All models support two or four socket configurations[8]
Memory support: Up to 12 DIMMs per socket[8]
Memory controller: Four-channels of UDDR3 / RDDR3 up to PC3-10667[8]
Magny-Cours models have 12 MB of L3 cache (2x6 MB) but only 10 MB is visible with the HT Assist feature activated using 2 MB as a directory cache.

The quote in the thread title is probably not related, it can happen simply because the server was trying to fulfill a GPU work request and the app_info.xml truly doesn't have a usable GPU application for setiathome_enhanced work.

                                                                  Joe

These nodes all received MB tasks and around 25 of 50 aborted the tasks after a second or so. The others successfully returned completed results.

Will the server send work to a system for a GPU even if the system does not have a GPU defined in the app_info.xml? None of these systems have a GPU. They are all rack mounted servers.

Thanks.

Some of the blades have Intel processors and some have AMD so I will need to go cleanup the AMD processors to have a different app_info.xml.

---

Still getting the error with a different .exe in that app_info.xml

It maybe a coincidence but after our IT Security team made me hide them the attacks stopped. It is a small price to pay to keep them hidden and keep the IT guys off my back because he is convinced it worked.

I changed the preferences for the group that computer is in to disable using GPUs but I am still getting the error.

The quote in the thread title is probably not related, it can happen simply because the server was trying to fulfill a GPU work request and the app_info.xml truly doesn't have a usable GPU application for setiathome_enhanced work.

                                                                  Joe

I still think you're got a problem with your slot directories, some are probably O.K (Slots 0 to 3 at least),
you might want to Set NNT, complete any tasks, report them, then reset the project, now shut down Boinc, navigate to the slot directories any delete any slots directories greater than 0 (Boinc will make new directories as it sees fit)

If you still have problems, try a Boinc repair installation (Just rerun the Installer)

Just a note...

The SSE4.1 app is the best choice only for Intel Core2 Duo E8xxx CPUs with very fast or overclocked system RAM.

My E7600 can up to SSE4.1, but use the SSSE3 app because it's faster (bench-test).

E.g. the new Core i3/5/7 CPUs should use SSE3 - IIRC.

YMMV.

Will the server send work to a system for a GPU even if the system does not have a GPU defined in the app_info.xml? None of these systems have a GPU. They are all rack mounted servers.

If you don't have a GPU app defined in your app_info, Boinc physically can't ask for GPU work, and since Boinc can't ask for GPU work, the server can't send it, changing the Use AMD and Use Nvidia GPU settings will also have no effect.

/edit. This may sound sil but have you installed the SSE3 app and have you restarted all the BOINC processes after the installation

you app_info for the amd SSE3 should look like that if you are running a windows 64 platform

Yes these nodes are running 64bit mode. I also upgraded BOINC from 7.0.28 to 7.0.64 on this particular node.

I upgraded BOINC from 7.0.28 to 7.0.64. Would that have cleaned up the slot directory on this node?
