Yeah getting some more now. The expected credits/task isn't exactly something to write home about, 2.6

My iGPU though has quota problems, due to the last "failed" Beta test, when all iGPU tasks for everyone errored out. So, I only got one iGPU task before the message: This computer has finished a daily quota of 1 tasks

Odd that, I included a report on the previous page outlining the cards reported capabilities. The most relevant part is repeated below.

===================================[ OpenCL Capabilities ]
- Num OpenCL platforms: 1
- CL_PLATFORM_NAME: NVIDIA CUDA
- CL_PLATFORM_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation
- CL_PLATFORM_VERSION: OpenCL 1.2 CUDA 10.0.132
- CL_PLATFORM_PROFILE: FULL_PROFILE
- Num devices: 1

- CL_DEVICE_NAME: GeForce GT 730
- CL_DEVICE_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation
- CL_DRIVER_VERSION: 416.34
- CL_DEVICE_PROFILE: FULL_PROFILE
- CL_DEVICE_VERSION: OpenCL 1.2 CUDA
- CL_DEVICE_TYPE: GPU
- CL_DEVICE_VENDOR_ID: 0x10DE
=============================

Now I believe it isn't capable of running the latest version of CUDA, but as this project doesn't use that it shouldn't matter. If I could find a test program that definitively proved it was capable of doing the full range of OpenCL 1.2 operations correctly I would give it a go. Unfortunately I can only find tests that prove it can do OpenCL, but not which version.

Interestingly this link to the same site https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gt-730.c1988 suggests it is capable of OpenCL1.2 perhaps there are different versions of the card out there.

widdershins,

Unfortunately there is a large class of bad graphics cards that I can't prevent from getting work. I do not know why those cards are failing at the moment, but they cause a large amount of error results on the database. I'm going to be exploring the version number that they use for their drivers and things along those lines to see if I can prevent these GPU's from grabbing work in the future.

Here is a quick view at the GPUs reported that failed on more than 5 hosts.

My fear is that NVIDIA did something for 1.2 that causes an issue with these devices. This will probably be on a todo list of mine soon, but at the moment, they error out pretty consistently.

Something to note: I am sending out results to hosts that only report that OpenCL 1.2 is supported on their system. Basically, if your client says it can support 1.2 then I am sending results. I have included additional logic in the recording of that data into the host table for boinc as well as version numbers to see if I can see a pattern. But again, need more data :) so i guess we will have to run more betas.

I am going to let things run overnight and tomorrow I will attempt the new validation and assimilation logic.

Again, THANK YOU to everyone for your help and I hope we can get a majority of these issues behind us quickly and get to production!

Note: There will be another beta for atleast 2 things in the future. 1. Production workunits from the researchers. 2. Updated for the stderr logging for bad atom types in the ligands.

Thanks,

There is one GT730 that does not have opencl 1.2, according to wikipedia and nvidia. If it has 128 bit memory interface, it is the card that doesn't support it. The nvidia control panel should list the capabilities of that card.

OK, but the app doesn't have to checkpoint like crazy, does it?
If you shut down the computer, and it has to restart the GPU WU from the beginning, it's so damned fast, that you'll never notice.
It's the most disk intensive app or program, I've ever had on any of my computers.

PS. I'm not really that Grumpy, as the nick might make you believe
