Message boards : Number crunching : New ACEMD tasks are ending in computation error
Author | Message |
---|---|
Let me apologize in advance if this has already been covered in the Forum, but my search of the Forum came up dry. However, the problem I'm having is getting ACEMD tasks to complete without error. The last time I successfully ran an ACEMD task was Feb. 25th. Since then, according to my task summary, all tasks have ended prematurely in 'computation error'. (By the way, it doesn't appear that my task summary is accurately reporting what my GPU is doing, but that's a different matter.) My daily quota is down to 18 tasks a day. To address this problem, I've updated the GPU driver, updated my operating system (W10-64), rebooted several times to reestablish connection to the project, but nothing seems to work. Each time I get work units that seem to run O.K. I've even seen one run to completion; but, according to my task summary, all I see is a few tasks that end in 'computation error'. My GPU is a GTX 970, and is in good operating order and not overclocked or over powered. It runs files from my backup project just fine. If anyone can help me solve this problem, I will be very appreciative. At this point I'm willing to try anything. I really like supporting this project and would love to continue doing so. | |

I have had a couple of NaN errors but rarely. I chalk it up to a fluke. | |

All of your failed tasks have failed on one or more other computers. | |

I want to thank you both for your suggestions. I've deleted the compute primitives. I wasn't aware that this could be done, so we will see. I've also turned back power by 20%. I use the manufacture's software to do this. I really didn't know you could use Windows to do this. This is something else I didn't know. I've run my 970 with the power down before to keep the operating temperature down, and maybe the last time I did this was Feb 25 when the last successful ACEMD task validated. (I'm an old man and I don't remember.) But, at any rate, I'm trying both of your suggestions and hopefully this will do the trick. I probably won't known until tomorrow, however, because my daily quota is down to 8 tasks per day and I'm running backup project right now. Regardless how this turns out, I appreciate you both taking the time to help me out. | |
