Hi guys,

Since i ran Lunatics_Win64_v0.45_Beta5-for-SoG_setup.exe on top of my old lunatics setup ( overwritten it ), i'm not receiving any GPU WU's anymore, for about 2 days.
CPU wu's are cruching fine.

Anyone else with this problem? ( Win10 x64 )

Or should i just re-install boinc completely?

Re-installing BOINC should never be necessary. Since it's a Beta test, let's try to debug it.

Can you remember which application choices you made? There are four screens, and two sets of choices on each screen:

CPU
ATi
NVidia
Intel GPU

Astropulse
MultiBeam

How many of the eight possible apps had you chosen for your previous installation? How many did you choose this time?

I assume this is your Xeon E5-2670 with GeForce GTX 980: I see that you have received GPU tasks on 12 October, like task 5214530541, and processed them using the r3528 application: Beta5 is the first Lunatics installer to include that version. So, could you please click the 'update' button on the Projects tab in BOINC Manager (selecting the SETI project, of course): then open the Event Log, and post the entire block of Event Log messages associated with the update here for us to try and investigate.

Oke, i did a little investigation and saw that MB8_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_NV_SoG_r3528.exe had been vanished.

Thanks Richard, the log cleared that up that the file was missing.
Re-installing you Lunatics installer has fixed it.

Don't think it has anything to do with your installer because its working fine now.

Phew, that's a relief - thanks for clearing it up.

A missing .exe file? That could be an over-enthusiastic AV scan. Do you run any anti-virus product that might keep usable logs?

. . Hi Richard,

. . I am probably a little obtuse. When the release of Beta5 was imminent I posted a comment about the advantages of using Lunatics and I cheekily said that the only thing missing was support for SSE4.2. You cryptically responded that this was hinted at in your reply to a message from Wiggo. Does that mean that support for SSE4.2 has become available?

A missing .exe file? That could be an over-enthusiastic AV scan.

It could perhaps be an over-enthusiastic BOINC, too. I just transitioned two of my machines from SoG 8.12 to 8.19 by adding 8.19 as an additional app version, rather than just replacing the old version. (One way or another, I knew I was going to have to manually edit app_info, with or without the installer, so this was the approach I took.)

All new GPU work was then downloaded as 8.19 (for SoG r3528), while r3500 continued to work off all the previously downloaded 8.12 tasks. This worked fine until each machine had fully transitioned over to 8.19, with no 8.12 left in the queue. Then, the next restart for each machine, one last evening and one just about an hour ago, yielded this near the top of the Event Log:

10/15/2016 5:27:36 PM | SETI@home | Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform
10/15/2016 5:27:36 PM | SETI@home | File referenced in app_info.xml does not exist: MB8_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_NV_SoG_r3500.exe
10/15/2016 5:27:36 PM | SETI@home | File referenced in app_info.xml does not exist: MultiBeam_Kernels_r3500.cl
10/15/2016 5:27:36 PM | SETI@home | [error] State file error: missing application file MB8_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_NV_SoG_r3500.exe
10/15/2016 5:27:36 PM | SETI@home | [error] State file error: missing application file MB8_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_NV_SoG_r3500.exe


Yep, both those files had vanished from the S@h folder. It appears that once BOINC decided it no longer needed the r3500 files, it simply trashed them, then complained about them being missing. No harm done, no task errors, but now I have to go back into each app_info and completely get rid of all 8.12 and r3500 references.

It seems to me that I remember seeing that happening with stock apps, when moving from S@h v6 to v7, but I don't believe I'd seen it with Anonymous Platform and, frankly, I can't think of a legitimate reason for BOINC to do that. Anyone have any thoughts as to why it might?

. . Hello everyone,

. . The fact that it is so quiet in here leads me to believe that everyone is happily running Beta(5) without problems. Otherwise it means that very few people have taken to it ... :(

. . Hi Wiggo,

I am seeing no problems on my 750TIs. Inconclusives seem to be running at about 10% and that seems to be mostly against MACs.

. . Well the message boards have gone surprisingly quiet, so it seems that v8.19/r2528 is causing no one any heartburn. A very good sign and testament to quality of the hard work Raistmer has put in.

Message 1827848 - Posted: 1 Nov 2016, 8:44:26 UTC

Will there be a new Beta/RC including the v8.20 for Intel GPU that is currently available over on Beta ? The new v8.20 seems to solve the problems with inconclusives on Skylake GPUs.
I would like to update my system and use the latest Lunatics version, but I would prefer a version that solves the issues with Skylake GPU. Any guess about how long it will take before there is a new Beta/RC ?

Thanks,

Tom

I've got other duties which I have to attend to today, and at this stage I don't know how long they'll take. Also, I see Raistmer slipped out a new build a couple of days ago to address the inconclusives issue - it would be good to check that one out as well, and if appropriate update both builds at the same time.

Maybe a couple of days.

I have never seen such a delay in getting a new installer released.

Is SOG really that unstable an app????

Not unstable, just unfinished.

There was another new version today (message 1828507), to address a long-standing issue: so we restart the offline test cycle.

Well, the kitties much appreciate your efforts. Really do.

And don't get me wrong.....I would not want anything to be rushed if it is not working correctly.

The kitties are just getting anxious for the next stage in their crunching abilities./

OK, after yet another new build on Sunday night, we seem to have a brief pause between server crashes, so I've uploaded...

Beta 6

The key features are:
NV SoG r3557, aimed at reducing the number of inconclusive validations
Intel GPU r3541 (that's the same as v8.20 at Beta), which solves the long-standing problem of validation on Skylake 6th. generation iGPUs

[BTW, has anyone ever tried running Astropulse on a Skylake?]

Every time I look at OneDrive, it shows me a different url, but the one we used last time still seems to work:

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=8D83BF774A4A86F5!979&authkey=!AK7t-36P9nAec2Y&ithint=folder%2cexe

As usual, expect your antivirus program to be suspicious of the new files until a number of you have downloaded them.
