Project 13460 - two bad work units

[bikeaddict]

Two WUs have failed like this this morning, which stops my client from downloading another WU:

Edit: Forgot to add that they fail for all clients:

Geforce 3060, nVidia driver 496.49

[JimboPalmer]

There is a new Nvidia Driver available today.

Neither of you mention updating to it or show the configuration portion of your log, but it is a possible issue.

[HaloJones]

I'm getting failures on this project as well including Linux machines that do not update Geforce drivers automatically. Restarting the client/machine starts folding successfully again.

[pcwolf]

I woke up to two WU on separate Nvidia cards running Manjaro Linux with Nvidia drivers showing in red FAILED.

Restarting the foldingathome service in Systemd forced download of new WU which began folding.

[XanderF]

I'm getting failures on this project as well including Linux machines that do not update Geforce drivers automatically. Restarting the client/machine starts folding successfully again.

Re-starting did not resolve the issue for me on this project. I had my preferences set to COVID research, which this is, so probably explains why I keep getting them.

I then tried updating the nVidia drivers to today's release (511.23). This SEEMS to be working - I got this project again, and I'm so far 3% into the project and no errors (previously it was crashing out immediately). So that's good. However...I dunno about these drivers. Only had a couple of projects on them, so far, but my PPD has more than cut in half. Could just be the projects I'm getting? Not sure. Oddly my GPU is showing full utilization, but its temperature is WAY lower than expected - my fans are barely running, now. (Just anecdotal note, so far - will keep an eye on it over next few days)

[bikeaddict]

My drivers have not changed, still 495.46 on Linux. After switching from COVID as preference, it downloaded an Alzheimer's project and stopped giving errors. Now I've switched back and have two project 13460 WUs processing OK.

[gunnarre]

Same problem on Linux Mint and Nvidia driver 470.86

Restarting the client made it pick up a WU from project 13460 run 838 without issues.

Edit: These fail on all GPUs, it seems like both AMD and Nvidia.

[HaloJones]

Agreed, this is not a driver or OS issue.What's consistent is that a failure stops the client instead of it just getting a new work unit. Pausing doesn't work, the whole client needs to be restarted.

[toTOW]

Yes, there's a batch of bad p13460 WUs ...

Until John Chodera can have a look at it, two things to do :
- if you want to avoid this project, select something different from COVID for cause preference
- if the slot is in FAILED state, it will remains like this for 24 hours. You can Pause/Fold the slot to resume folding before the 24 hours delay.

[JohnChodera]

Folks: Huge apologies for the issues here.

An unexpected event appears to have corrupted some of the `system` or `state` XML files that are packaged up into WUs of some RUNs < 1000. These were not intended to be sent out, but WUs were sent out when I increased the number of CLONEs without realizing this had happened.

Fortunately, we had already collected most of the data we needed for these, so I have restricted the number of CLONEs back to 60. Only RUNs > 1000 should be going out now, and I am monitoring to see if these are corrupted---these should be OK.

Again, huge apologies for the disruptions here. We still managed to get a ton of useful data! I'll post the results of the dashboards this weekend.

~ John Chodera // MSKCC

[JohnChodera]

Update: It looks like I can't halt the corrupted RUNs from being sent out, so I am halting the project.

We still got a large amount of useful data, and I will set up and test Sprint 12 over the weekend so we're ready to launch Monday!

Enormous thanks, all!

And an enormous thanks to you and your team. We eagerly await the opportunity to help and I think I can say we can accept the odd hiccup along the path.
