Topic 194500

A new Einstein@home CUDA App for Linux is available for Beta Test at Beta Test Page.

We stumbled over some bugs in the CUDA part that might have caused some segfaults, so this is mainly a bugfix release. Also too the CPU part of the App now uses SSE, like in the .09 Beta Apps.

Please test and report, and please include important information (like the NVIdia Driver and Core Client version) in your posts.

CUDA App einsteinbinary 1.10 for Linux available for Beta Test

Tried
- Fedora 11 x86_64
- 'rpm -qa kmod-nvidia' returns kmod-nvidia-185.18.14-1.fc11.3.x86_64

Crashes (see below). Shows 100% but does not stop. Had to abort workunit.

Also:
- Seti@HOME Beta (CUDA) crashes similarly but workunit finishes with failure
- GPUGRID - works OK

The message about file format

The message about file format not recognized is only after the real problem:

[14:53:37][5101][ERROR] Application caught signal 11.

So application crashes and the message appears when outputting stack backtrace. For comparisson: do You have 32 or 64 bit Linux? I have 64-bit and I'm getting similar crashes as seen in earlier message in this thread.

It works without problems on

It works without problems on my notebook (Intel Core2 Duo P7350 +
GeForce 9650M GT, driver 180.22-2).
It is about 20-30% faster for one job than with the CPU only.
Sometimes it runs three jobs at once, two S5R5 and one ABP1 on CPU+GPU.
Note, that there are only two CPUs and one GPU. In such a case one of
the CPUs seems to run one S5R5 and the ABP1 together with the GPU at the
same time - is this intended?

Unfortunately, I get no work

Unfortunately, I get no work for the new application. BOINC reports:

[pre]Message from Server: (Project has no jobs available)[/pre]

What seems strange is, while I get the message "Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform" as described in the installation instructions, several lines further down I get "Can't load libcudart".

I am sure that the CUDA libs are in the search path: After re-running ldconfig, everything is visible to the binary:

bash-4.0# ldd einsteinbinary_ABP1_1.10_i686-pc-linux-gnu_cuda
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7fc5000)
        libcufft.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/cuda/libcufft.so.2 (0xb7e89000)
        libcudart.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/cuda/libcudart.so.2 (0xb7e3e000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7e25000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7dff000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7d0d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7bc7000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fc6000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7bc2000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7ba4000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb7b9b000)

I have installed the CUDA application as described on the website, but moved the libs manually to /usr/local/lib/cuda/. The system is a current Arch Linux with NVidia drivers version 185.18.31-1, BOINC version 6.4.5 and the CUDA libs that are delivered with the Einstein Beta download. Hardware: Pentium M 2,1 GHz (i686, not a 64 bit architecture) and a simple GeForce 8400 GS.

Any ideas what's going on here?

I recently get that at every (successful) download:

So, you have to read the log carefully ;-)

Gundolf, I can confirm that

Gundolf, I can confirm that there is a workunit downloaded immediately before the "no jobs available" message. However, I think that that is a WU for the "old", non-CUDA application because after the post-install BOINC restart, I now have one WU in progress on the "classical" einstein_S5R5 1.06 application. Are you sure that you run the CUDA-enabled one?

I only wanted to say that you can't trust the "no jobs available" message.

I'm sure that I don't run CUDA, since I don't have such a device :-)

Yeah ..... I see that frequently and yet the machine(s) is/are certainly not idle. I've been ignoring it since all is otherwise running fine.

Cheers, Mike.
