And all junk. 4 for 4, aborted the rest. Admin, just run a SINGLE task to see if thing work before releasing. It's not that hard.

Output file shbookfinder_6307_1746471151.026602_0_r1897758062_0 for task shbookfinder_6307_1746471151.026602_0 absent

Warning, high memory usage. I wanted to run a few tasks during the Pent and I came back with ~half the tasks running as I expected. I ran out of memory with 2GB per thread as I see they were all using at least 1gb. They varied between 1.3GB to 4.7GB with most over 3GB.

Got my first tasks, limited to 8 per GPU. (Can this be raised for GPUs?)
Win10 3070Ti
Run time = 523.02s = 8min 43s
Temps dropped from 71/72 to 57 (Was running SRBase TF app)
Power dropped from ~260 to 160W
GPU Load 100%
CUDA app so 1 CPU thread used

2x did not raise temp/power, only doubled run time so no eff increase in Windows.

Linux 3080Ti
267w not hitting power limit
267mb GDDR usage
100% GPU usage
Run time = 316.53 = 5min 16s

Another 3080Ti/Linux water cooled
Run time = 302.8s so just over 5min
Just under the 300W PL at 295W. Raising PL did not increase draw.

Credit was already quite high for the given run time. I wouldn't suggest going higher. You're fixing the issue. If run times return to a more normal 1-2 hours the deadline is acceptable too.

Wondered why I saw all the new app 1.03 work was cancelled.


1.03 came out earlier, basically the day before.

Just a min or so in but it seems about the same as the old app, My first task on a RPI3b is 94m according to BOINCTasks.

Is this the permanent end to the 1.0 app? Since v1.1 was named differently it counts separately for WUProp hours.

Same for me on two PCs with v1.1

Why is it a new app instead of another version? Why do admins not run their apps in BOINC prior to sending it to the masses? A v1.1 is no longer 'beta' and beta should at least run.

Can these at least be ran once on an admin machine before sending them out to the public

Now file download errors. I had to reset the project first. All the original tasks would not report after they were canceled and Iit was just getting http errors trying to communicate.

Why?
Is there something specifically new in that version that makes all other versions inadequate?

I checked mine and I have some that I received on the 9th/10th that have yet to be send out. Most of my pending are unsent. There seems to be an opportunity for some task assignment improvements especially with a max of 8 tasks/GPU

Always compile to the minimum spec needed for the app to actually work. Requiring the absolute latest driver is ludacris.

My Win10 PC that crashed above is now running with 1.02
