where is the app_info file

where is the app_info file located? it needs to be in the einstein project folder.

i think you've done something wrong with the file or have it in the wrong place. the latest files on your host are trying to use the default app from the project, I can see that it's not running anonymous platform which means that BOINC doesnt see the file. either it has an error in it, or it's not in the right place.

I have it in:

I have no idea if that's the right location for your system since i do not run BOINC from a repository install (I've compiled a standalone version).

 

I would restart BOINC for good measure. and check your event log to make sure that it reports that it picked up the app_info file for Einstein. if it does, then wait out your penalty box time and try again tomorrow.

I did a few things- I started

I did a few things- I started over to make sure I didn't make a change that I just didn't remember. With that first error, it was reporting as anonymous but then with that last error, it didn't (after I had made some additional changes). 

I now completely understand how the .zip file is organized (which is helpful) and just retried all of additions and edits.

I restarted everything. Checked the event log and see:

Thu 16 Feb 2023 11:27:54 AM EST | Einstein@Home | Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform

So, I think that is showing up again. I won't know until tomorrow if that original error is still happening.


Thanks again

Out of interest, I had a quick look at the full tasks list for that machine and saw that (at the time I looked) there were 1466 pendings, 5009 valids, 588 invalids along with 3 errors.  The high invalids ratio (~1 for every 8.5 valid) quite surprised me.

I'm wondering if other users of the AIO app also get high invalid rates or if the above example is some sort of other issue?  I don't have any nvidia GPUs so I haven't been paying much attention to AIO app results.  My hosts using GCN generation GPUs tend to get about 1 invalid for something like 100 valid.  My host under test has the above single invalid along with 86 valid and 49 pending and no errors, so it looks OK at the moment.

I've been testing my new RTX 4090 with the AIO app for a few days now and I'm also seeing about 10% invalid WUs. Mostly when the other two results are calculated by AMD GPUs.

Not much difference with version 0.95 or 1.0.

The GPU is currently running in powerlimit 200 W and max. 3000 MHz. Here in Germany, electric power is very expensive.

sudo nvidia-smi -pl 200

sudo nvidia-smi -lgc 210,3000

My host.

I've noticed high invalids

I've noticed high invalids with other users who have 4090's also.

I don't have one, so I'm not sure the exact reason. maybe some of the specific tuning variables arent optimal for the 4090's architecture

you might try downclocking the memory a bit to see if that helps. maybe back it off to ~20Gbps? just a guess.

you can try playing with some of the kernel tuning variables in the EAH_SLEEP file, but do so at your own risk. I have no idea which way they should be adjusted or what will work to cause more or less errors. you'd have to trial and error it for yourself.

 

as a reminder, development of this application has stopped some time ago. there will not be any update. use it as-is until FGRPB1G tasks are gone (~8 months by current estimates)

Retried this morning. Getting a different error (host: this host).

It looks like the application is starting but an error with the output?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

can you run ldd against the

can you run ldd against the executable to make sure you're not missing any dependencies?

in a terminal where the binary is located. run this:

ldd HSgammaPulsar_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-opencl_v1.0

and post the output.

oh, actually, you have some

oh, actually, you have some other problem. I've seen this before. your JPLEPH.405 file seems to have some problem or it's corrupted. try copying that file from another system to this one. it's in the einstein project folder.
