This is the MOST V.I.s that I've EVER seen on an NVIDIA Card!

MOST of these hit today! What happened??? Do I need to worry about this? Until today, my V.I.s were hanging around 7-10...

[EDIT:]

762 into 38 = 4.9+ %

I've been normally hanging around 1.3 to 1.8 % until today.

If I were you I'd be more worried by the pile of INVALID tasks that "appeared" on the 5th....

So, WHY has my Available VRAM DROPPED to 1.4GB??? NO Monitor is Attached!!! Is this why I'm getting the Invalids and Validation Inconclusives???

The problem seems to be from 3:47 AM on the 5th to 7:05 PM on the 6th for the V.I.s... The Invalids are all in this time window, too. [EDIT:] (All times are Pacific Time Zone.)

There was an OS glitch on the 5th that I caught where my Apple WiFi Card shut itself completely off, thus blocking BOINC's communication... I turned the WiFi Card back on and it automatically connected to my Network and BOINC began reporting Completed Tasks. I thought everything was OK at that point... Apparently NOT! :-(

I still have BOINC set to NNT. I have quite a few Dec 7th Reported Tasks that ARE Validating, now... Maybe the glitch that shut off my WiFi was more systemic and affected BOINC, and maybe other areas in the OS. Hopefully this morning's reboot has resolved the issue.

If things are back to "normal" now, I DON'T have high hopes of the 32 remaining V.I.s Validating... MOST of them may go Invalid. :-(

Invalids keep fluctuating. (Going from 6 to 10 and back down to 6.)

Validation Inconclusives are down to 30. (Down from the high of 38.)

I'd still like to know WTF the OS did to BORK all these Units!!!

Message 1969196 - Posted: 8 Dec 2018, 0:08:22 UTC - in response to Message 1969183.  

I'd say something triggered the bug that causes the app to not find pulses. Usually you can avoid that bug by running the monitor on an ATI card. I'd say stop worrying about tasks done over a day ago and concentrate on the current tasks. As long as the current tasks show a Best Pulse in the stderr the task will be good. If it's missing a Best Pulse then you need to restart the machine or just swap the monitor cable from the ATI card to the NV card for about 30 seconds and then move it back to the ATI card. As long as you just have BOINC running you can run the monitor on the NV card for that long. Then check the next task and see if it has a Best Pulse. You also might want to update your App as a New one was posted some time ago, Message 1955220 - Posted: 13 Sep 2018, 17:01:37 UTC What's interesting is this machine has never suffered the Bug, that I'm aware of. For my fast machine, I just swap the cable from one GPU to the next and when they all find pulses I turn the monitor off until the next time I need it.

Just Updated the App. Thought I already had the Latest Ver, (b2), guess not.

Let's see what happens, now.

NOTICE: NOW, Available VRAM on the 1050 is 1343MB DOWN AGAIN!!! On 387.10.10.10.40.108 and Sec Updt 002, Available VRAM was 1408MB. AND, I believe on the Prior Driver to that, and Pre-Sec Updt 002, the VRAM Available was MUCH higher...

STILL NO Monitor attached to the 1050. ONLY the ATI HD5770 has a Monitor attached - the Apple Cinema Display - 23". So, WHY is SOOOO MUCH VRAM being taken from the 1050?????

TBar,

Unfortunately, the Bug that I've hit in your App is too prevalent for me... It seems that, now, Crunching at night, (like I usually have my computer do), with the monitor off - since the 5th - is NO LONGER a "doable" thing. It seems that with the monitor off at night that this "Best Pulse = 0" Bug hit MANY Units during last night's Crunching, too.

I've set the Computer to NNT, and I'm Crunching through my Queue, and then WON'T Crunch anymore on the Mac! I CANNOT leave the Apple Cinema Display running 24/7 as it seems to heat up in the upper left corner quite a bit while on for more than an hour. (I notice this effect on iMacs, too. My sister's old iMac does this all the time.) I have no money to replace the monitor, so I guess - no more Crunching is in my future on Mac. :-(

[EDIT:]

BUT, why turning the monitor off on the ATI Card is making the NVIDIA Card hit "Best Pulse = 0" is a COMPLETE mystery to me... :-O

You could get a dummy HDMI plug and plug that in when you are away.
If you don't mind swapping cables ...

How would this work? The ATI HD5770 has NO HDMI Port, it's too old of a card. It has 2 Mini-Display Ports and one DVI Port. The Cinema Display - 23" is on DVI.

The NVIDIA Card has one HDMI. Are you saying that I need to plug a dummy HDMI Plug into the NVIDIA Card??? If this is the case, what's the difference, (load wise), between having a Dummy Plug vs a Monitor on the NVIDIA Card? I ask because TBar says that NO Monitor should be on my 1050 Card as it ONLY has 2GB VRAM. So, if the Dummy Plug puts a "fake" Monitor Load, that would cause Units to crash and fail, too...

Well, it does seem to be the monitor changing state that triggers the missing pulses. If you can stop that it would probably work OK. I have 4 Macs, well 1 Mac and 3 Hacks, on two of them making sure the App is not missing pulses and then turning off the monitor works, until you turn the monitor back on and start using the machine. On the real Mac, it works fine as long as the monitor connected to the ATI card is running, but seems to start missing pulses when the monitor goes to sleep. The Fourth machine is in the TV room connected to a TV that stays on all the time and is connected by another ATI card. The one connected to the TV seems to work fine too, but, the TV stays on 24/7. The real Mac was working fine last night when I went to sleep, but after the monitor went to sleep it started missing pulses, this morning I simply changed the monitor cable over to the NV card and then back to the ATI card and now it is working normally again. So, only crunch when you can make sure the monitor state doesn't change. For me, I'm just going to use the 5 card Hack sitting over in the corner with the monitor off. So, Petri blames the NV drivers, and NV will undoubtedly blame Petri's App as they did the last time a bug report was filed, looks like a no win situation. Apple does somewhat side with Petri though, Apple doesn't care much for the recent NV drivers either.

Thanks to Carlos, I now have a Monitor I can leave on, (with Apple Screen Saver of course), and NO LONGER encounter the CUDA90 App Bug. :-)

The Computer is now on a Viewsonic VX2250, 21.5" LED/LCD Monitor. Supports 1920 x 1080. It's been on ALL day today, (12-18-2018), and DOES NOT get hot like the 23" Apple Cinema Display. :-)

Monitor, (again), connected to the ATI HD-5770 GPU. The ATI Card DOES NOT Crunch. ONLY the GTX-1050 Crunches.

Let's see if I can get my RAC back up above 13.5K. :-)

All it takes is the DVI to VGA adapter that is included with all Nvidia Pascal cards and three 1/8W 75 ohm resistors to make a "dummy" VGA plug that fools the card into thinking a monitor is connected.

TL, there is such a thing as a Dummy Plug for DP and Mini DP, I found a bunch on Amazon. Though some come in 3's and some don't.

Guys,

I use this computer daily. Why would I want a dummy plug that I'd have to keep changing back out for the monitor????

The System is now where I need it to be... It has a Monitor that I can leave on and does NOT get hot like the Apple Cinema Display does.
