Poem new GPU app update

[FourOh]

Have you returned any work successfully? I have two errors after over two hours on my 7790; I have a 5850 running now. Looks like 90% GPU usage with 1 work unit, so I'm sticking with that for now to get a baseline.

nope. Just aborted all currently running ones. Stopped all CPU tasks. Removed overclocks. Setting for 1 wus/ gpu all cpus free. Starting a clean run.

I assume the old app_info files will not work. Are new ones available?

Old app_info example:

<app_info>
<app>
<name>poemcl</name>
<user_friendly_name>POEM++ OpenCL version</user_friendly_name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>poemcl_1.3_windows_intelx86__opencl_ati_10 0</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>poemcl</app_name>
<version_num>103</version_num>
<avg_ncpus>0.75</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>0.75</max_ncpus>
<flops>4.0e11</flops>
<plan_class>opencl_ati_100</plan_class>
<file_ref>
<file_name>poemcl_1.3_windows_intelx86__opencl_ati _100</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>0.33</count>
</coproc>
<gpu_ram>320.000000</gpu_ram>
</app_version>
</app_info>

I've got 1 wu running on each 7970 in a dual system. It's defaulting to 1 cpu and 1 ATI gpu per wu. 99% usage. Looks like they will run a lot longer than they use to. I'll report when they finish.
Edit: I tried it on a dual nv system also. It no longer loop restarts the task on the 2nd gpu. It does tie up the 2nd gpu and an additional core with zero gpu usage. Ugh! Obviously they didn't care to completely fix that problem.

app_info file not needed. easier to use app_config.xml (they can even be dynamically loaded).

I am aborting all poem work units and will try again another day. Even basic run with no o.c failed. I wonder if they have a multi gpu issue. I will be out of town for a week anyway no time to play with new toys.

On previous version I got around the problem by using 2 clients. Tell each to ignore one NVidia GPU.

Both ati tasks errored out at 7100 seconds. "unknown error" is a bit vague.

On my TITAN, ~65% load with a single task, 96% with two, 97 with three. Each task reserving a full thread. So I am running them two at a time, unless someone tells me that there is an advantage to running more than two, based on credits.

Looks like they'll pay ~6500 credits if you can get them to validate.

If the tasks are all erring at the exact same time, then the project has set the max run time to that value. When the tasks hit that value, they self-abort. If that is the case, then only the project can fix it.
