"Empty work server assignment" - Linux GPU's

Post by DocJonz »

I have two Linux machines that are running GPU's (GTX 780's) which are both sitting at the 'Ready' stage indicating the above message in the log (also see end of log attached below) - has the Core 17 work temporarily run dry for Linux GPU's?

Post by billford »

I've been getting that message too, but on cpu clients not gpu, oddly enough. All on either Linux or OS X, which is Unix underneath of course so maybe that's the common factor?

I suspect it's more related to the AS problems than a shortage of work.

How the supply of available WUs is assigned does depend on rather complex logic in the AS. We've been getting reports of shortages for somewhat more than 24 hours so it's certainly possible that there's an AS problem. As you've already said, Linux vs. Windows matters. It should also be noted that DocJonz is asking about a GTX 780 which is a Kepler and there are at least four types of NV GPUs as well as a couple of ATI types, and the mapping of specific projects also may be limited based on the type of GPU.

Bilford's report doesn't specify which GPU is being reported nor does it specify the IP address of the AS and whether you're running client-type=advanced or not.

Sorry, it's early in the morning here :oops:

2 GPUs- a 780Ti and a 650Ti, both Linux.

The 780Ti was on Windows until yesterday but then it started getting Core15's, so it seemed a good time to get an item off the "to do" list and change the machine to Linux (Ubuntu if it matters, the 650Ti is Mint).

If it's of any help I also got the "Failed to get assignment from 'assign-GPU.stanford.edu:80': Empty work server assignment".

I'm on Windows 7 x64 and have a GTX 770. I then updated the client after not having done that in a long time and it now works.

I can confirm the same as above. I am using Nvidia 780 ti, 780, 690 AMD 290, 290x and 295x2 on windows OS.

All of them are waiting on WS Assignment.

I think I perhaps need to clarify:

I was getting some empty work server messages on the smp clients, but immediately re-assigned to a different WS which worked, eg:

Code: Select all

That was an OS X machine, the only upset on the gpu's was getting Core15's on the Windows machine, since I switched to Linux both have been getting Core17's with no problems.

Just noticed something else which may simply be coincidence or may be of significance- one smp machine hasn't (yet) had any empty WS assignments, and it's the only one (out of 6) which I haven't yet got around to updating to 7.4.4 from 7.3.6.

To clarify, I use both V.7.3.6 and V.7.4.4. And I use beta flag on some, advanced on some.

In total I got 8 separate computers running mostly 2 cards in each machine.

I have not been trying without any flag just yet, but I will be amazed if it would make any difference.

I've been running various combinations of full and adv (no beta) across 8 clients on 6 machines, haven't seen any differences.

On all my systems, only SMP rigs are getting work units, absolutely nothing for GPUs including all AMD and Nvidia on Windows 7 x64. All are sitting idle right now.

In Texas, it's starting to get cool in the mornings. I'd rather turn on the heat by folding, not with HVAC ;)

I've been getting the same message as the OP all morning. This on a Win 7 Amd GPU box. I just upgraded from V.7.3.6 to V.7.4.4, and I'm receiving work again.

Upgraded all my V.7.3.6 to V.7.4.4 and now they are folding.

I am using windows. All Nvidia cards get core 15, but all AMD gets core 17.

Funny thing, my machine folding on V.7.4.4 did not work until I downloaded V.7.4.4 and re-installed it. Restart of client or computer did not work. Strange.

I was having the same problem as the original poster. No WU for over 12 hours.
Windows 7x64 pro with AMD Tahiti XT graphics card.

I upgraded to v7.4.4 and immediately got a WU for my AMD
