What does the following mean? Iam trying to compete in the WSS challenge and both clients for the 2 GPUs keep stopping. Thanks

Hi

I did not manually stop the units with ctrl-c in this instance (although I have done so in the past i.e today & yesterday). Deleted (renamed) wwww.log & starting afresh.

I posted this in the wall-sun-sun thread. http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=4196&nowrap=true#75191. Still not resolved.

Stable so far after deleting wwww.log. BOINC closed for now. Will reopen it later.

Are these problems just the latest incarnation of issues that are reported in the "Call for wwwwcl beta testers" thread? It seems like there were unresolved issues for windows clients with wwwwcl, at least in the last several posts. Warning: that is an extremely long thread to read, covering many moons, and some of the older posts may not now be relevant.

As a workaround, can you just run prpclient in a loop? On a Linux or Mac "csh" shell, it would look something like:

while (1) ./prpclient rm wwww.log sleep 10 end

I used to have random infrequent failures with the GPU prpnet apps (GFN, wwww) that were recoverable if just retried. Note that this is by no means a "fix"... it just automates the restart.... if you have some sort of systematic error that causes immediate wwwwcl failure all the time, the above code won't help you at all. Be sure to include the "sleep" so that if "immediate crash and burn" is the case, the script won't go crazy monopolizing your machine. I'm sure there is a windows equivalent but I'm not the guy to ask for that.

@brinktastee:
What GPU do you running? If an ATI card what driver do you have?

Thank you rogue. :)

I will need to do some hacking to get the latest os on it. Sounds like a weekend project.

Snap. I still need to keep stirring it.

Btw GDB your email is showing in that post at this time.

Why o why does this keep stopping:

which I did not.

[2014-04-11 20:02:07 GDT] Client shutdown complete

Nothing else going e.g BOINC closed. Makes no difference. Kept deleting the logs files on both folders.

Does it delete the log file before it shuts down?

I would like to know what is in the log file.

Do only certain ranges fail or does this appear to be random?

Dave, I didn't read all of your posts so this may have already been answered but have you over clocked your card? I ask because for some reason WSS is very sensitive to over clocked cards on my system. WFS on the other hand loves the overclocking. Anyway, when I had my cards over clocked alot (more than 50% above normal) I'd get errors much like you are reporting. I can overclock maybe 10% and get it to run stable.

Like I said however, I may be way behind the times on your issue.

Thanks for answers.

No overclocking - factory oc is 783 & it was this but now revved down to 750 last night so testing this now.

2 GPUs, 2 clients, 2 folders, -1 & -2.

Platform=0 is in wwww.

This has still behaved the same with the lowered clocks. Same log contents as supplied. Never seen a subproject that needs manual kicking.

Any further advice duely appreciated.

Nothing. It's always 0 bytes.

Two out of 8 clients are having the same problem of not finishing, and then resuming.

My MacBook Prod has a GT 650M. It isn't particularly fast, but it doesn't have any problems with this work unit.

I suggest that you upgrade to the latest OS X if you can.

I'm getting this same "Could not find completion line in log file [wwww.log]. Assuming user stopped with ^C" error on just one of my two GPU clients.

They are running in two separate directories.

I do have "platform=0" defined in both wwww.ini files.

GPU0 is running W-S-S just fine. But GPU1 keeps stopping immediately with the wwww.log file complaint.

The wwww.log file is created as soon as I start prpclient.exe, and it is empty. I have tried deleting it and restarting prpclient.exe, but the same thing happens again.

Any ideas on why one client would run and the other not run?

Do you have more than one GPU?
Do you have "platform" and/or "device" defined in wwww.ini?

I was getting that same error:
"Could not find completion line in log file [wwww.log]. Assuming user stopped with ^C"
until I added "platform=0" into wwww.ini.

a really silly question, but with 2 instances, the 2nd folder is the same as the 1st folder except for the ini files as far as all the files and subfolders go and you do have the permissions setup the same? I know, really silly questions.
