GPU app
As some of you may have already noticed, there is a GPU version of Enigma software available for testing. It requires nvidia GPU, and probably will run on anything that supports CUDA, I have tested it myself on a couple of low end cards and it ran just fine, except that the system was lagging and WU runtime was very long.

Until yesterday it required app_info to run, this was changed and currently it will be sent to any host that has 'beta work' allowed in preferences. I have reset the beta flag to off for everyone.

The app is marked as "beta" because there are still some issues both on the client and server side. Also, currently the GPU app runs via wrapper and that causes some issues, for example, this page says that interrupting GPU app while it is running the kerney may cause system crash. This is worst case scenario and so far I haven't seen it myself, but I assume it's possible.

Other than that, if left untouched, the app runs smoothly. At this moment it'll only run on CUDA device #0.

Progress bar does not work with the current version of the wrapper, but it's not a high priority thing at this moment, as tasks are relativery short: from ~20 minutes on GTX1050 to around 3m30s on 1080Ti. The app uses internal checkpoints and will automatically resume from the last checkpoint if restarted.

So has anyone got any of these to complete successfully. If so, what cards and what drivers. Mine all end in computational errors after a few seconds.

I am able to get them to complete, no problem. This is on windows machines, with a TITAN and two 750 Tis. I am using the latest drivers from nvidia.

Mine also fail after a few seconds. I've just installed the VC2015 C++ package though, so when I get any new tasks we'll see if that fixes it.

After I installed VC2015 yesterday it started working. Before that they failed immediately.

They still failed with the VS2015 installed for me. I'm now updating my driver...

06-27-17, 09:31 PM

Nope, no good. I get and immediate message that emigma_cudu.exe has shut down. If I close that warning box the wu fails. If I don't it appears to run on the .352 cpu it reserves. Not my favorite way to get to 100 hours...but...

100% failure rate (Computation error) on the GPU app for me also.
I have gotten rid of my app_info file altogether and updated my Nvidia driver, but no go here on both my machines.:(

06-28-17, 08:03 AM

Oh, and I also installed a app_config I found on their forums .... don't know if that helped or not but my GTX 1080 is loving it.

06-28-17, 05:03 PM

I did manage to get my 1050ti to work, but none of my other cards (500 series) receive work or, if they do, they error out immediately. Well, one is better than none.

Where can I download VC2015? I went to the MS site to the download page for VC 2015 but there are no check boxes for me to select which file to download.

EDIT: Never mind. Browser wasn't showing it but I managed to click an area that looked hidden and it worked.

Do you have any older C++ re-distro's that you might want to uninstall? or 32 bit distro's?

I have 4 rigs 2 t3500 Xeon machines. & 2 dual cores, 1 amd & 1 intel, that will not run the app
New install of win10 on the t3500 + VC2015 still no go. Pulled intel 2 core and install ( i5 4 core and it worked.)

Run the executable from command line and check for any error messages.
You can use the executable from project folder or just download this https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/enigma4/test_runs/2.0_test.zip and run one of the bat files.

I realize most of you don't run the old gpus I have, but has anyone got a 500 or 700 series to run this app? I've had no luck with either, but my only 1050ti took to it with no problem...it's paired with a 3770k processor.

CUDA app version changed to 1.07 for both Windows x86 and x86_64.
I have removed the plan_classes "cuda" and "cuda23" because the app required compute capability 2.1+ cards & I haven't seen even a single task completed with success on "cuda23" plan_class.

The new version was recompiled to allow compute capability 2.0 cards:
GeForce GTX 590, GeForce GTX 580, GeForce GTX 570, GeForce GTX 480, GeForce GTX 470, GeForce GTX 465, GeForce GTX 480M (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA)
so in theory anything from Fermi up should work.

The CUDA app requires Visual Studio 2015 c++ redistributable package installed to run.

I'm going to add a new application which will be used to test new app versions and platforms/plan classes.

It will run it's own mini batches of test work and once the tests are done and finished with success, the test app / app version / platform will be reassigned to standard workunits.

Test app will have it's own checkbox in project preferences and it will be reset to off for everyone on each app version change.

First app versions that will be tested soon are:
- OpenCL/ATI version of GPU app.
- Linux version of CUDA app.

I'm not sure when it will be released but my early estimate is somewhere around end of this week.

About an hour ago Dave GPU (uid 68703) returned a plaintext of KLDIO 90:
quellestriqabteilungabzwonullnullnullxlsixlsixflam einsnullkmnordostwxnikolajewoxnikolajewo

with the following machine settings:
(H) B:JW:DCL:521:AWCSDREYFOKULZNVPXQT

this was done on walk #2120 for the wheels order 521 and UKW B (2190 restarts/walks on average for the entire batch), running Alex's GPU app. All this work was done in less than two days.

The plaintext score is nowhere near the top scores returned for this batch.
It hardly even makes it to top 50%: -> KLDIO results page

but it was detected by the server, which cross-checks the returned plaintexts with all available dictionary sets and marks all results that have high score in more than one dictionary. It was marked as possible decrypt because it has a decent score when checked against "U534" and "AVv1" (dictionaries provided by Alex) tridicts -> KLDIO cross check

Feel free to abort all the remaining KLDIO workunits as they're not needed anymore.
I have already aborted all that were in "unsent" state, the rest I left untouched, so those who won't read this in time or have the workunits already processed, will still get credit for their CPU/GPU time.
