Hi Everyone--I've been getting this error on all of my BRP runs. I've searched the forums and couldn't find a solution. Here's a snapshot from the event log for one of the jobs:

I'm on this machine (in case that helps): http://einsteinathome.org/host/6730044/tasks

What can I do to remedy this issue?

Thanks!

BRP cuda error while computing: "output file...for task...absent

The error you are getting is:

- exit code -1073741515 (0xc0000135)

From the link to your host you seem to have a modern Intel CPU with a built in GPU, right?
If so check to see if you have something in line of "Intel OpenCL SDK" in you Control panel -> Add/remove programs. Try to uninstall the sdk and it should work again.

For another option you could upgrade Boinc to the latest test version from here (as of this it's v. 7.0.52) then you won't have to uninstall the sdk.

I had explicitly installed

I had explicitly installed the Intel OpenCL SDK. I was seeing the file absent errors and stumbling around, I tried removing the Intel OpenCL SDK and the problem went away.

Too bad E@H can't program around it OR recognize the problem and let the volunteer know. Seems like it would be pretty simple to do.

Don't think it's the projects

Don't think it's the projects fault but something with how Boinc handles OpenCL, if you upgrade Boinc to version 7.0.42 or newer the problem is fixed and you can have Intel OpenCL SDK installed without Einstein-tasks crashing. Just follow the link in my last message to get the newer version of Boinc.

I know this is belated but I

I know this is belated but I forgot to say that uninstalling the SDK worked--so thanks!
