Question for the tester's, Do you have any use for about 95 AP files that got abandoned by my computer during a crash? I can throw them on my server if you can use them. BOINC doesn't seem to be cleaning them up, so just been waiting for a good date spread of new/old so I don't delete the wrong ones. |

Does anybody know if the APs that are out that claim the application is Not in DBwill validate? |

Someone claimed they had a "not in DB" AP that validated Edit.. I have MBs that are "not in DB" that are validating |

Does anybody know if the APs that are out that claim the application isNot in DBwill validate? The message "not in db" is in the application field. From what I have seen it looks like there was an issue populating the name field for hosts using Anonymous platform. I would expect this to only be a cosmetic issue that seems to have already been resolved.

The only ones I can find on my computers are from 29 Jul 2015, 23:11:49 UTC to 30 Jul 2015, 0:29:33 UTC And there are only 3 of them (that are in progress) But it's not like I have a big dataset to compare to ... I'm almost dry :(( |

Does anybody know if the APs that are out that claim the application isNot in DBwill validate? Here's a message from Jord in the Panic_Mode_On thread that explains the "Not in DB" comment. OBTW, my i5/Win7 box got 6! APs at 31Jul2015 0123 UTC. Most I've had on that box at any one time since....... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

My rig with two 750Tis locked up again this morning. It only does this when running two APs at a time. My command line is as follows: -use_sleep -unroll 10 -oclFFT_plan 256 16 512 -ffa_block 12288 -ffa_block_fetch 6144 Are there more conservative parameters that can be changed for this line? Should I just change my AP tasks to one per gpu? When I get home I'll be able to reboot the machine and if I can't find a stable solution for these AP tasks I may just remove astropluse and just crunch MBs on this machine. Thanks for any help, Todderbert |

Should I just change my AP tasks to one per gpu? For my 750Tis I have my app_config.xml set up to run either 2 MB tasks or 1 MB plus 1 AP, never 2 APs at the same time. Set <gpu_usage>.49</gpu_usage> for MB and <gpu_usage>.51</gpu_usage> for AP. |

I run 2 APs at a time but I use lower Commandline values. I also limit CPU usage. |

If I run just One AP on the 750Ti in My Mac with -ffa_block 8192 -ffa_block_fetch 4096 the machine will immediately Reboot. It doesn't have that problem with lower numbers. I'd say the 750Ti doesn't like those higher numbers. |

My rig with two 750Tis locked up again this morning. It only does this when running two APs at a time. My two 750ti host has this cmd line: -use_sleep -unroll 15 -oclFFT_plan 256 16 256 -ffa_block 16384 -ffa_block_fetch 8192 -tune 1 64 4 1 -tune 2 64 4 1 -hp But I run only one AP at time. I did test running two, but no go, same problems as You did have, host completely freezed... |

Here is my commandline -use_sleep -unroll 10 -oclfft_plan 256 16 256 -ffa_block 8192 -ffa_block_fetch 4096 -tune 1 64 4 1 -tune 2 64 4 1 I think the reason for the lock up are too many task at a time. IE Not enough resources. I also removed the -hp In my 4 core Intel, it has 1 -750 and it runs 3 CPU work and 2 GPU work units. On my other 4 core AMD, it has 2-750s so it runs 4 GPU work units and I limit the CPU to 1 work unit for total of 5. If I didn't then it would try to run 2 core work units and 4 GPU work units, for a total of 6. I think that was causing the lock up on that system. I installed a <project_max_concurrent> to the app_config.xml in that one Something to look at. Edit.. Almost forgot. I also installed Process Lasso just in case. |

My rig with two 750Tis locked up again this morning. It only does this when running two APs at a time. I have been using the exact same parameters you have been using. When I was using version 346.47 of Nvidia’s driver it would lock up almost every night when running one WU. Several weeks back in frustration I switched to driver version 346.59 and I thought I had the problem cured but it locked up again last night for the first time since the driver change. If it happens again I will probably try the parameters of WezH or Zalster and see if there is any difference. The funny thing is that in some cases some other processes stopped working before the whole machine became unresponsive, e.g., I have had sendmail stop working, or lose network connectivity first. The converse is also true, SETI can lock up while sendmail continues to work for a few hours. I thought at first it was a hardware problem but the lockups continued even after the mandatory dust bunny check and the reseating of all the cables and memory. They only went away after I changed the driver – until last night that is :( . Perhaps it was a one time occurrence -- I can always hope. In any case, perhaps a driver change will help with your problem. |

Thanks for the information. The settings I choose to use were a mix. Using Zalster's command line, and Jeff Buck's app_config, which I applied in the app_info. The system is running smooth right now. I have max_concurrent set to six. My cpu utilization with the gpus running one MB and one AP each is around 50%. Now here's a good question, has anyone had a 960 lock up from running three APs at a time? I ask this because I have a machine with two 970's and a 960, with MBs and APs set to .33, it hasn't locked up yet. I really like these 960s, there like little tanks. On a side note I picked up a Titan Black to mess with, I'm guessing the settings for a 980/970 would be ideal for it. Anyone run one of these cards? its a hot little monster, but it really idles down when crunching APs. |

In any case, perhaps a driver change will help with your problem. Fwiw, I'm still running 334.89 on my 750ti's, due to issues I heard about on later versions. Learned a while back that latest and greatest was a bad plan on these. As far as params, no tuning here; just whatever the Lunatics installer gave me. I do run two tasks per GPU. Have not experienced a lock-up on these. |

I finally made it to that hard to find number ... I'm full of AP tasks :) |

My two 750ti host has this cmd line: I'm running 2 tasks each on 2x 750TIs basically use the same, except the -unroll is 10 instead of 15, and have no problems. In my app_config.xml, I specify .5 for both CPU & GPU. Est. run time for each is 1.12 hrs. each. The only time the host freezes is for overheating if ambient temp reaches high 80s low 90s, then I stop crunching. I don't buy computers, I build them!! |

With only 152 channels to do on AP it seems doubtful that this run will last thru Sunday. It has been fun. |
