Looks like we're running out of all work. Double bummer!

Wow, double bummer indeed. Well guess it was nice while it lasted. Will move back to my traditional gpu projects.

Looks like they aren't sending out any gpu work either for some reason.
[Edit]
Ok, yes they are now.

I see we have finished up the cpu work. Any sign of a new cpu campaign? Anything planned?
[Edit]
This post from Discord mean more work?

PM the admin Neil and ask him.

I agree the response in the Log Event should at least tell what the minimum is if it is going to complain you don't have that.

Installing the CUDA toolkit is your problem. You shouldn't have done that. The toolkit installs its own CUDA only driver which overrides everything else. It never includes OpenCL, why would it. Its a competing platform.

There is no need to ever install a CUDA toolkit unless you are a developer. The standard Nvidia drivers ALWAYS includes a run-time version of CUDA that works for all applications.

Did you install the standalone CUDA drivers for some reason? Or did you just update the normal system Nvidia drivers?
I have never heard of standard package Windows drivers NOT include the OpenCL drivers. On Linux, yes that happens or has happened frequently in the past.

Those are rather old. I think most projects require minimum 418 version drivers.

Why not update to the latest? The 470 series is running quite well.

And most projects only use OpenCL applications which can run on quite old drivers.

These are proper CUDA applications which use the full horsepower of Nvidia cards.

amd radeons don't work with the project?

Not with the new trailertcrack gpu project. CUDA only. For now.
The old kaktwoos cactus stacking project was an OpenCL application so worked with any gpu with OpenCL support.

What is 00PM?

I am confused also. Think that the time and date was Euro format. So October 2nd 0000 UTC is likely what was meant for the new app release date and time.

The devs have already fixed the application and it will be deployed soon. The issue was a older, deprecated manner of passing the device argument to BOINC.
You can read about the found bug and fix in the News forum.

That's great, Neil. Glad to have pointed out the issue so soon in the beta app deployment and a fix was found quickly.

That is why we do beta deployments against the installed base. I am great at finding corner cases.

I'll try and get Richard Haselgrove to look at your code snippet and see if he can figure out why my client is tripping up on the device argument and gpu enumeration like what appeared to have happened at GPUGrid.

But one thing different is the new app is not a wrapper app like at GPUGrid.

In the meantime I have reconfigured the pandora_config and app_config files to only allow one gpu task onboard at any time. That will work around the issue until I better understand what is happening.

First reported by Ian here. https://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=5246&nowrap=true#57261
And more information by ServicEnginIC. https://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=5248&nowrap=true#57272
You can read the diagnosis in the thread.
Was resolved by the release of the 2.18 application to replace the faulty 2.17 app.
No information about what was actually done in the app by the dev/admins AFAIK, at least publicly in the forums.

I am running a custom BOINC version based on the 7.17 branch. Based on TBar's All-in-One client with further GPUUG binary modifications known as the Pandora client.

New trailertcrack app is having issues where BOINC is enumerating the app to separate devices but in reality the app is running on the same device.
So you end up with two instances of the app running on the same gpu.
Just want to assure that the gpus are only running 1X application per gpu in app_config files.

OK, there is an issue with the new trailertcrack app. It is running two instances on the same card. There was a similar issue over at GPUGrid a month ago. BOINC is improperly assigning the two instances of an application and task to the same gpu even though it says it is assigned to separate gpus.
Here it is running two tasks on gpu:0 even though BOINC is reporting that a tasks is running on gpu:0 and gpu:1.

Cool, nice to have a gpu app again here.
