Message 78939 - Posted: 12 Jun 2017, 9:39:23 UTC

My computer running BOINC is attached to LHC, Einstein, Seti, and Milkyway. I believe all of these have GPU tasks available. As I write this, all are up and have tasks available.

Yet I have no GPU tasks at all.

Looking at the event log shows lots of these lines:
2017-06-12 01:37:14 | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: job cache full; NVIDIA GPU: )

BOINC is not requesting GPU tasks, but the GPU message is blank. What does this message mean?

Thanks

What sort of NVidia GPU do you have? - model number and driver version, please.

Also, please post the rest of the startup lines from the Event Log, covering the GPU detection phase.

I have a Quadro K2000. It has been running GPU tasks as recently as this past Friday.

Well, a K2000 should do the trick, but...

Einstein is offline (power surge - see elsewhere on this board)
LHC is a CPU / VM project only
MilkyWay is predominantly an ATI/AMD project, although they do have NVidia apps.
SETI is up and running, but I've had several responses (to an NVidia request) like

12/06/2017 13:59:38 | SETI@home | Tasks for CPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them
12/06/2017 13:59:38 | SETI@home | Tasks for AMD/ATI GPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them
12/06/2017 13:59:38 | SETI@home | Tasks for Intel GPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them
It's possible that BOINC has gone into backoff because of previous failures.

I'd suggest you (temporarily) set 'No new tasks' for all projects except SETI, and click 'update' for SETI in an attempt to force a work request. Once you have work - it may take several goes, each five minutes apart - reset everything to normal.

If that doesn't kick it into life, post again. I agree your initial log message (blank reason for NVidia fetch) is unusual: you may need to enable some debug log flags.

Ok, I disabled new work for all projects except Seti, then disabled networking and let BOINC run overnight. Just now I enabled networking. Most projects uploaded and reported finished work. Here are the messages for Seti:
2017-06-13 18:10:03 | SETI@home | Finished upload of 27fe08ac.3394.1708.12.39.251_1_r558244594_0

2017-06-13 18:10:10 | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks

As far as I can see, no request for GPU tasks.

I also updated to the latest Nvidia drivers, which don't appear to make any difference. Here are the current startup messages:

Did another Seti work fetch. Here is the event log:
2017-06-14 13:32:41 | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
2017-06-14 13:32:41 | SETI@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU
2017-06-14 13:32:44 | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed: got 20 new tasks

Again, fetching for CPU only. Why?

I'm afraid we're going to need at least one cycle of <work_fetch_debug> to work that out. Press Ctrl-Shift-F to bring up the picker, then check work_fetch_debug and 'OK': after the first cycle has appeared in the event log, reverse the process. It puts a lot of gobbledegook into the event log every minute, but if you post one cycle here, we might be able to pick some bones out of it.

What are your project preferences set to? Is your GPU of choice checked there?
Is it on the correct venue/location, in your case 'home'?

The GRC account manager has No ATI and No Intel checked, because I don't have those. No NVIDIA is *not* checked, I just looked.

I just did a work fetch, which failed because Seti does not have work units at the moment. I'll do it again tomorrow. I'm posting the event log that I got because it might be useful, or at least indicate other debug flags that may be needed.

The GRC account manager has No ATI and No Intel checked, because I don't have those. No NVIDIA is *not* checked, I just looked.
Whatever the state of the checkbox, your BOINC client thinks the state is "don't use":

That's the one that answers your opening question. I'm not familiar with the working of account managers, so someone else will have to guide you from here.

I just did a work fetch, which failed because Seti does not have work units at the moment.
Not quite. The real reason is likely to be the last one in the list:

2017-06-14 20:06:43 | SETI@home | This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress

SETI has a hard limit of 100 CPU tasks in progress. That sounds OK - you can re-allow work fetch for other projects and turn off the logging flag while you explore the account manager.

He's using general preferences (default, ---) via his account manager, but his computer's location is home. There are no preferences for home, so it's using the general preferences location (default, ---). If the GPU is chosen at the home location, but NOT at the default location, you get these weird requests.

Amount of work etc. is requested via local preferences.

But why, then, is the active work fetch declaring 'account manager prefs'?

says that the account manager is telling my BOINC not to request GPU tasks for SETI?

Ok, just as an experiment, I remove the location home by editing the client_state.xml. I then went to the grcpool account manager, set SETI to exclude all GPUs and saved settings, then set to allow all GPUs and saved settings. I then went to BOINC and forced an account manager sync. This also forced a work fetch. The work_fetch section of the event log now looks like this. No more account_manager items present, but still all zeros for GPU work.

I've seen event log messages for SETI very recently saying that it was at task limit. I'll try this again tomorrow when some of the waiting tasks are finished.

That's what it's telling us, but we're not 100% sure why.

From your second message:

scheduler RPC backoff (237.83 sec)
You need to wait approx 4 minutes and try again. The server will refuse your request for work if you try too soon. But

Message 79057 - Posted: 16 Jun 2017, 4:50:55 UTC - in response to Message 79034.  

After burning through the backlog of SETI tasks, I just enabled network traffic and allow lots of uploads and downloads to finish. TLDR, this time I got SETI GPU tasks, so it look like the changes I made worked.

Here is the relevant section of event log with lots of upload and download entries trimmed out. It's still huge. Apparently the work fetch process was run multiple times, but the one that followed the last SETI upload had a non-zero share for the GPU. My only problem now is that I don't know what changed to solve the problem, and problems that mysteriously go away tend to mysteriously come back.

Thanks, all, for the assistance.

Message 79074 - Posted: 17 Jun 2017, 1:27:39 UTC - in response to Message 79057.  

Here is the log from today's work fetch. I am back to SETI share set to 0 by account manager. Is there a way to log account manager communications? I don't see anything in the log selections that says account manager to me.

This has file transfer logging turned off. This is an excerpt because work_fetch ran something like 3 dozen times after I enabled network. This is the only run where Seti did NOT say work fetch disabled by too many uploads. It actually looks like BOINC tried to run work_fetch for every completed upload. That's kind of silly since no work will actually be downloaded until all uploads are done.
