I've got alot of Rake queued up but as the others have mentioned credits are low. I'v been running for a solid six hours and only gained 1800. Is WEP M2, Wanless mersenne? I'd join on that but they aren't allowing new accounts for whatever reason.

 

[mmonnin]

Yes Wanless or WEP M2

WEP-M+2 Project

Its a smaller project and have opted out of FB Sprints as it can't handle the traffic. I didn't know account creation was off.

 

[Roxasthehunter]

Might have been wrong on Rake, seem to be making 25k PPD

 

[mmonnin]

25 in Rakesearch really helped. I thought it was going to be another day until the project got to 2mil but scole jumped in for half a mil today. So FB gave credit on the 3rd day it was active.

[franz]

I will keep my rigs on WEP until the sprint is announced in around 24 hours

 

[Roxasthehunter]

SRBASE is the sprint

 

[mmonnin]

Ugh still can only use 1 GPU per system. And the project sends out incompatible tasks for a given installed driver in Linux

SRBase FAQ says to install CUDA Toolkit. It links to v10.1 but 470 is 11.4 so I am trying

CUDA Toolkit 11.4 Update 1 Downloads

Resources CUDA Documentation/Release NotesMacOS Tools Training Sample Code Forums Archive of Previous CUDA Releases FAQ Open Source PackagesSubmit a Bug

developer.nvidia.com

And it just says Error: 'contrib' invalid

 

[franz]

SRBase requires glibc 2.31, so 20.xx in Ubuntu. It also requires you to copy paste libcudart.so.10.1 into usr/lib (ubuntu), but they removed the file from their FAQ.

I am digging through my notes to see if I have anything on that error

 

[mmonnin]

The error mentions 2.29 but I only see 1 PC in top 80 that is not Ubuntu 20/21 or Windows
./mfaktc.exe: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./mfaktc.exe)

Supposedly the 10.1 file comes with the app now so thats prob why its not in the FAQ.

I'm not updating OS for an app that does not actually need it to operate. CUDA100 works just fine but server logic won't send them. I got 2 CUDA 100 tasks out of hundreds. Nor am I going back in driver to one that only contains CUDA10 versions and not CUDA 11. There just needs some server logic for Ubuntu <20 and CUDA>10

 

[franz]

I agree, I'm not crazy about projects that have those types of limitations. I have not updated one of my rigs from Ubuntu 18.xx, so its not running that project. My Ubuntu 20.xx rigs can run the project with 460 drivers and cuda 11.2 though.

EDIT: for you nvidia guys running multi GPU add this to your config.xml in your BOINC folder, the lines in bold are different than the FAQ on the the forum. This allows you to run another project on your other GPU if you want. In my experience srbase has to run on your primary GPU, device 0, otherwise BOINC will run 2 projects on 1 GPU even though the projects are listed as running on 2 different GPUs.

Guess I will have to cancel the work I have downloaded and reboot into WIndows. My RX-470 is just spinning, progress bar is not moving but it is doing something. 0.010% after 15 min.

Seems to be working OK on a NVIDIA GPU in Windows.

Yeah, driver wise I am in the same boat though. Ubuntu 18 and driver 470 on two PCs. 1070, 1080 and 1080Ti. The 3070Ti, Radeon VII and 980Ti are on the project.
All the NV GPUs have 470 as there is a new app in [email protected] that requires it and speeds up NV GPUs a lot. The famed SETI app writer, petri33, permed some magic on the [email protected] app to make it more efficient.

Even if I did have the right OS/driver, BOINC Manager is too stupid to manage two projects. It would for sure guarantee get work for one project and none on the other. I'd have to have a separate client per GPU.

The gap is closing. We won an SRBase Sprint earlier this year.

Did you ever get this running in Linux? I was able to run this back in April during the last SRBase sprint.

I seem to have the same issue. GPU is at full load, but the task seems to never make any progress.

-Edit-
The tasks do complete on my AMD GPU in Linux. The progress bar is actually running backwards. Time remaining will keep increasing all the way up until the unit finishes, and then it will upload and start a new task. 🤪

I gave up on it and rebooted into Windows, where it is running on a RX-460 instead of the RX-470 that is installed in the first slot. At least in Linux it was using the right GPU. Good to know they actually finish and I was being impatient, I will try switching back.

Edit - sure enough it is completing tasks in Linux on my RX-470, just the progress bar and ETA is broken. 2100 seconds to complete one.

For reference, runtime on a Radeon VII at 1900core/1150mem is ~570 seconds.

I also dropped the power limit from 360W to 288W, and runtimes only increased by about 25 seconds on average. That's a 20% power reduction and only a 4-5% loss in throughput.

 

[mmonnin]

295s at 280W on 3070Ti.

I already moved the Radeon VII off SRBase this morning when I saw we were continually losing ground as it was much slower than other NV cards.

[tictoc]

I don't really have any idle NVIDIA GPUs, so my Radeon VII will just plug away on the SRBase tasks.

I'm running 36 CPU threads on my 3960X, which is good for somewhere around 300k ppd, depending on how many of the really short tasks I crunch. If someone could grab nothing but the really tiny short CPU tasks the ppd would be pretty unreal. Average task is 1000 seconds, but there are some tasks that run for less than 20 seconds for the same 80 points.

 

[franz]

I am currently working on WEP+2, Moo and number fields to try to grab a couple more points in each. Will switch CPUs off WEP when we grab 5th spot and pick another project at that time.
