I'm running NVIDIA 310.32 on x86_64 linux (Fedora 18). I just updated BOINC from 7.0.36 -> 7.0.52 (x86_64 linux build) and had the first successful task completion on Rosetta in weeks. I'll keep an eye on it to see if that continues. Seems to be some kind of interaction between BOINC and the NVIDIA driver that is weirdly version dependent.



Just wanted to confirm that this combo of BOINC 7.0.52 (linux x86_64) and NVIDIA 310.32 (linux x86_64) is working great...almost a week of successful tasks.

Can anyone confirm that ralph does not have this issue?

I'll ask people here to submit more test jobs to Ralph.




I've signed up for Ralph with one of my trouble machines, but there don't seem to be any tasks available. As soon as I get any, I'll report the results.

...I'm planning to update the server scheduler to use the version that Ralph uses...


David,

This is an interesting idea. My rosetta worked fine for months until between 7-10 days ago (I think). I assumed it was the upgrade to my NVIDIA driver, but I put it back and it didn't help. Did you make any changes to the scheduler code in that timeframe that might explain it "breaking" for me again?

Also, any ETA on when that change would happen? I'm happy to test or help in any way that I can.

I will upload my task debug logs as soon as I get another task or two to complete.

For those interested in how to do this, you edit (or create, if it does not already exist) the file cc_config.xml in your main BOINC directory. Mine looks like this:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<task_debug>1</task_debug>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>

Can any of you point me to specific results/computers?


I recently upgraded my NVIDIA driver (Linux x86_64 running Fedora 18) from 310.19 to 310.32 and suddenly started getting the client errors (computation finished normally, I get an invalid result). I am not using the GPU for Rosetta (used for GPUGrid). I will try going back to 310.19 and see what happens.

I am a recent new member of the Rosetta project...I have two Linux x86_64 (Fedora 17, 3.6.6 kernel) machines running this project. Both have NVIDIA GPU cards running GPUGrid, BOINC version 7.0.36, NVIDIA driver 304.64. One is completing and reporting Rosetta units just fine, the other is completing computation normally but getting the Client Error / Validation Error on every unit (so far).

I am happy to provide any addition info or run diagnostic/troubleshooting steps, so please let me know.
