I have had several, nine and counting, Noelia tasks fail after only running for around 2 seconds.

Have you just done an update from Windows Update WDDM?

I did and have got multiple errors since then and can't uninstall despite trying to use restore. Update not mentioned in Uninstall Programs


To Add

Finally got one running.

The same with me. Suddenly more than 30 errors. No changes in my system than updating the driver to the last version. But I have the same issue on machines where nothing has changed since weeks..

Current problem solving: Switched my preferences to ACEMD short runs (2-3 hours on fastest card). And all works fine again. Seems that the problem is caused by the long ones.

Same issue here. 16 errors and increasing. No changes to platform; platform is >50% complete processing three NOELIA_tpam2 tasks without issue. NOELIA_TRPs fail within 3 seconds with following error:
ERROR: file mdioload.cpp line 162: No CHARMM parameter file specified
10:34:25 (8728): called boinc_finish

Switching to another project just to conserve internet bandwidth.

Just had two bad ones in quick succession:

260-NOELIA_TRP188-0-1-RND4118
364-NOELIA_TRP188-0-1-RND5307

Erroring on every computer they're sent to, so I'm pretty sure it's the task make-up, nothing local to our machines.

Make that three:

337-NOELIA_TRP188-0-1-RND9634

Me too!

Indeed the third type of Noelia's WU's are errorsome. I have now 47 of them and wing(wo)man too. This seems be the error: file mdioload.cpp line 162: No CHARMM parameter file specified.

It are xxx-NOELIA_TRPxxx WU's the other two types run like a train.

We have to wait for Noelia to repair this.

I'm having the same issue with NOELIA_TRP188 workunits.
All of these run to the following error after 2 seconds:
ERROR: file mdioload.cpp line 162: No CHARMM parameter file specified

Please cancel these units already, they are all erroring out.

Have these errors been resolved?

Unclear if resolved. Within the last 30 minutes, I am no longer receiving NOELIA_TRP long run tasks. All three of my platforms have received NOELIA_tpam tasks, so I have switched back to the long runs for now.

...I am no longer receiving NOELIA_TRP long run tasks. All three of my platforms have received NOELIA_tpam tasks, so I have switched back to the long runs for now.

Feel free to send the NOELIA_TRP WUs my way. They run fine on my 780Ti under linux.

I've finished 2 of these WUs successfully.

PNY 780Ti reference card; no overclock

Nvidia driver version: 337.25

Me the same. Right now all seems to be fine.

While you may think this to be true, however my linux computers have had their share of these errors, just not as frequently.

I am still getting them, just not as frequently.

Any up-date? Can I change back to long runs? My computers run without supervision over the week-end, so I do not like to pile up errors.

I have had 5 NOELIA fails since 3rd of September. The last unit was sent to my workstation 7 Sep 2014 12:59:07 UTC.

• tpamx3835-NOELIA_tpam2-1-2-RND0880_1
  
• 668-NOELIA_TRP188-0-1-RND1496_3
  
• tpamx2552-NOELIA_tpam2-1-2-RND0011_0
  
• tpamx4367-NOELIA_tpam2-0-2-RND6555_0
  
• tpamx3206-NOELIA_tpam2-0-2-RND6114_0
  

Most of them run a long time before the error shows.

Those which run for a long time before the error shows (the NOELIA_tpam2 workunits) are failing because they got a lot of "The simulation has become unstable. Terminating to avoid lock-up" messages before they actually fail. This kind of error is usually caused by:
- too high GPU frequency
- too high GDDR5 frequency
- too high GPU temperature
- too low GPU voltage
The bad batch this thread is about consists of NOELIA_TRP188 workunits, which usually fail right after the start.

I disagree either of the 4 points being the issue.

My Nvidia Quadro K4000 GPU is completely stock with absolutely no modifications or overclocking applied. So the frequencies are right.

Also the case of my host Dell Precision T7610 is completely unmodified and the case fans are regulated automatically as always. The GPU run at 75 degree C which is well on the safe side. Further, I haven't performed a driver update for months.

May I add that I haven't noticed any failed WU's on my system until now. Within 5 days 5 NOELIA WU's failed.

The Noelia's doing okay on my systems after last week hick up but now the latest Santi's, (final) have this error: ERROR: file mdioload.cpp line 81: Unable to read bincoordfile.
I see errors with wing(wo)man too. In run with Win7.
