Invalid from my system.

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=862199

I'm seing many AP invalids from my GPU's, almost every single AP crunched on my GPU's are invalid, or validation inconclusive..

Warning, long post ahead....

67 of them now.

Cheers.

Invalid from my system.

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=862199

I'm seing many AP invalids from my GPU's, almost every single AP crunched on my GPU's are invalid, or validation inconclusive..

Warning, long post ahead....

Are you using the Beta6 Lunatics distro?

Is it possible that your ATI AP app isn't the "current" lunatics version?

How hot is your GPU running?

Don't know, just scratching my head.

HTH,
Tom

---

A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association).

I'm running the Beta 6 lunatics version.

Both my GPU's are running at about 70 degress C, the fan profiles are set to maintain that temperature.

It seems that the WU's crunched on my R7770 (device 0) get validated ( I just got one validated now "https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=2578079182"), and that the ones crunched on my RX480 (device 1) are invalid.

Both GPU's never produce a single invalid WU running MB WU's. I don't OC, or do anything special.

---

Sorry, but I can't offer you any help there Karsten as I'm a Nvidia user.

73 of them now.

Cheers.

Karsten, I would worry too much at the moment. You only have 1 invalid task.

If it continues then look at it further. I will note the one card has 50% the memory of the other, so if you are running multiple tasks you may run out of mem.

Thats OK Wiggo.

Perhaps someone else has an idea.

If I don't find an answer I'll probably disable AP WU's for my GPU's. I don't like producing invalid results.

I was hoping Raistmer would have something to say, he knows the innards of the apps.

---

Thanks for you answer, Brent.

Sadly this is not the only invalid I have had. In the last week I have crunched about 20 AP WU's with my GPU's, and about 4 out of 5 have been invalids.

Something is wrong, and I'm wondering what it is.

---

i think for some newer amd cards all drivers after 15.12 produce invalid ap results

122 of them now out of this batch so far.

Cheers.

Do you have any more info on this?

15.12 is 1½ years old drivers.

I would think this would have been fixed by now, either by AMD or Lunatics?

---

dirk posted something about that in the Radeon Software Crimson thread.

in an ideal world, one should be able to both mb/ap apps as well as multiple work units/gpu without producing invalids. the last time i was able to run multiple wu(s)/gpu without producing invalids was driver 14.4, but that driver is not as fast as the newer drivers. 14.4 works with my 290x/295x2 but not my 390x/radeon pro duo. i had similar problems on einstein as well.

so now i'm using a driver from this year but i only run one wu per gpu and i don't run ap at all. but i only speak of my own cards; cards less expensive than mine(like the 280x) don't have the same problem. and i don't have anything new like a rx480 so i can't speak to that either.

Up to 143 now.

Cheers.

I've not been having problems with 15.12 on my 390x. Each time I have tried a 16.x+ driver I have had issues. Like a BSOD while windows is sitting at the desktop.

I havent had any problems with crashes and that sort with any of the recent drivers on my RX480. Currently running 17.6.2, and its rock solid.

But there are problems with AP crunching, and the oldest driver (16.6.2) which supports the RX480 is never than 15.12, so the situation is difficult.

As things are now, owners off newer hardware are out of luck. Something should be done about this.

By the way, I tried to do some optimisations following the tips in the included readmes in the Lunatics installer.

Using these settings:
-unroll 18 -ffa_block 16384 -ffa_block_fetch 8192

it seems that my results now validate. At least I have 4 valid WU's (but also 2 inconclusives) since I put in these settings yesterday. No invalids yet.

That is a much higher succes rate than before, allthough it could be down to chance.

I'll keep an eye on it.
