Message 59453 - Posted: 5 Sep 2016, 19:15:24 UTC

Had a problem re-initiating Beta.  It was suspended for a month, so I thought I fire it up again.  I downloaded r3525 from Raistmer's cloud storage.  I archived just about everything in the project folder (it was cluttered with 200+ files).  I used the aistub file for app_info, and resumed beta.  Downloaded 50 WUs, then my attempt to open Event Viewer prompted the Connecting to client window to appear and remain for several minutes.  Upon reaching the EV, well, look:

Here is the Stderr output:

<![CDATA[

]]>


I suspended Beta, shutdown BOINC, and compared the app_info with the version I used for r3500.  I noticed this was not present in the aistub:

   <file_info>
      <name>MultiBeam_Kernels_r3525.cl</name>
   </file_info>


and this line did not have a corresponding exe file in the folder:

   <app_version>
      <app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
      <version_num>818</version_num>
   </app_version>


So, I renamed app_info, started BOINC, and resumed Beta.  Additional files were downloaded, including
mb_cmdline-8.17_windows_intel__opencl_nvidia_SoG.txt.  I suspended Beta, shut down BOINC, then changed the <version_num>818</version_num> to 817.  Started and resumed, only to get:

9/5/2016 2:19:45 PM | SETI@home Beta Test | Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform
9/5/2016 2:19:45 PM | SETI@home Beta Test | [error] No application found for task: windows_intelx86 816 opencl_nvidia_sah; discarding

9/5/2016 2:19:45 PM | SETI@home Beta Test | [error] No application found for task: windows_intelx86 816 opencl_nvidia_sah; discarding
.
.
.
9/5/2016 2:20:34 PM | SETI@home Beta Test | Task postponed: Can't read CL file


I discovered that Beta had overwrittin MultiBeam_Kernels_r3525.cl with r3500.cl.  I copied r3525.cl back, resumed and received this:

9/5/2016 2:32:28 PM | SETI@home Beta Test | Message from server: Your app_info.xml file doesn't have a usable version of SETI@home v8


Well, let me shorten this.  Currently, I have 10 WUs "Waiting to run", with elapsed times of 3 sec and remaining times of 1:03:35 - 1:03:48, 1 WU running, and a quota of 1 WU.

I've learned that when resuming Beta after a substantial period of suspension, you must do so prior to implementing a app_info file.  I found what an error (0x5) is, but not "Process creation failed: The system cannot find the file specified.  (0x2) - error code 2 (0x2)".

One more thing, my task list displays the application as SETI@home v8 v8.17 (opencl_nvidia_SoG)windows_intelx86, so I'm guessing the app_info isn't being used, although it was found.

Any enlightenment towards what I could have done to avoid any of the above would be appreciated.

Could you just suspend beta project. Delete all in it, reset beta project in boinc and then allow new work?

I've suspended Beta again.  As an aside, WUs are taking over 50% longer than r3500.

Message 59490 - Posted: 7 Sep 2016, 21:16:42 UTC - in response to Message 59483.  

By "reset and allow new work", Raistmer meant 'return to stock processing' - testing the app which will be downloaded automatically.

I'd recommend stopping and restarting the BOINC client between 'resetting project' and 'allowing new tasks', ensuring that app_info.xml is deleted before the restart.

When you re-create an app_info.xml file - more appropriate to the main project than here - think again about MultiBeam_Kernels_r3525.cl: be consistent.

Either (preferred):
Supply both a <file_info> and a <file_ref>

Or (for a quick and dirty test):
don't mention it at all.

At the moment, you're declaring the file, but - as far as BOINC knows - not using it. That would generate a compiler warning, at least, in traditional programming.

app_info.xml mentioned means you not under stock, but under anonymous platform instead.
As I said, delete ALL from beta project then reset it. app_info.xml should not present!

(reset it twice, restart and reset, but such message should not appear in correctly cleaned project)

First WU completed is Task 24748280
Run time : 7 min 21 sec
CPU time : 1 min 47 sec

This is incredibly fast, but it is a VHAR.

I initially wanted to test Raistmer's MB8_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_NV_SoG_r3525.7z, but now MB8_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_NV_SoG_r3528.7z, as I did for r3500 (which ran well on my rig).  Presently, my cache is comprised of 50 8.01 (cuda50) of which 5 are VLARs.  I'm here for testing, please tell me how you would like me to proceed.

Well, your GTX 950 hardly will suffer from CL file issues nor from high-prec timer not set issue. So, r3525 should work exactly as r3528 on your host. Stay with default config and crunch with r3525 till next week when r3528 will be available for auto-download. You may abort CUDAxx work for now if you don't interested in speed/precision comparison between different builds.

My cache has two 8.18 (opencl_nvidia_SoG).  I aborted 41 cuda50s, and Beta sent me 42 8.01 (cuda42).  Aborted those, now I have a full cache of r3525.

Task 24748253 is my first 8.18 opencl r3525 completed.

When testing r3525 & r3528, don't you want different cmdline options to be used?  Won't that require an app_info file?

1) No, app_info.xml not required for all kinds of testing for already deployed for distribution stock binaries.
2) Command line options can be passes via MB_cmdline*.txt files or (and I would call this more preferable way now) via app_config.xml file in its <cmdline> tag.
3) What to test:
a) How app works (speed + GUI usability) at pure default config
b) What best tuning line for particular host setup, that is, with what optional parameter settings app performs better than at default config and with acceptable GUI lags still.
c) Validness of its results.

Cause kernels file remained the same as for r3500 I put validness only third. For modifications that touch "meat" of processing chain it should be a) of course.
