Client/Slot not being tracked?

[dschief]

Bizarre symptom. Have 6 Boxes W/ 10 occupied GPU Slots. Stanford stats only show 9 active {within 7 days }

Have checked all Advanced control setups/configs, User name & team are correct. logs for all 10 slots look OK {up-loads & down-loads + ACK }

Can not begin to think how to track down which card isn't being picked up, much less where the points are going

Only posted here because, I would guess it's between collection server & stats reporting

You have one slot that hasn't turned in a work unit since Oct 22 which would have dropped your active count from 10 to 9 for the last seven days.

Here is it's last return:

Where do I find CPUId: XXXXXXXX45A75BD6; to help pinpointing to 1 box

I have gone back thru the logs for all 10 slots, All 10 show uploads with ACK {400} within 24hrs. some of the quicker
ones multiple time

That value did appear in the V6 logs but V7 does not display it. It is rarely useful to the Donor. Just check the log for that WU. Leaving it out avoids the confusion of having two different things called a UserID and a UserName when we're really talking about a software ID for the client installation.

[dschief]

So since every thing looks ok on my end { good logs } and V7 doesnt display CPUid there's no way
to tell which box Stanford does'nt recognize even though I'm getting ACK's back

Give use the PRCG numbers of a WU from each client and we can spot which two may be using the same CPUID (assuming that you cloned a client from one machine to another and now two of them are being treated as the same one).

I don't know of a way to search for that CPUId with the current client. Instead, since by default the client keeps up to 16 older logs, I would search the current and older log files for that WU that was turned in. One format the character string would be in is 'Project: 8018 (Run 185, Clone 0, Gen 314)'. Most often you will only have been assigned a WU once ever, so the machine you find it on would be the one to check for errors in the configuration such as typos in your username.

I did not clone any client between boxes, I did however shuffle cards to eliminate a problem of having
a GTX460Se paired with a GTX560Ti. Would that have a similar result

Just as a side note, the Stanford web site will not track a slot that has not yet returned a WU...

[dschief]

thats whats driving me crazy, I've got real time logs on my end showing uploads with ACk from all 10 slots most with 2+ a day.
the collection server must be taking them in since I'm seeing completed transactions, the stats server seems to be ignoring
one particular card/slot/client . If I let all boxes finish , & shut down for 7 days, then do clean Installs on all boxes.
Would that reset the values in the UpStream Servers?

[P5-133XL]

Supply one completed Project (run, gen, clone) from each slot and I'll look each one up ...

No. The CPUID is established when the client is (re-)installed. If you didn't move files between computers, that leaves the possibility that you misspelled your user name or something like that. Giving us the PRCG's of completed WUs from each client is probably the only way to figure it out. Specific combinations of GPUs would unrelated information.

Kermit slots 0 and 1 appear to have the same CPUId and if that's true then the two slots would only count as 1 in the stats. Please verify that the two PRCG numbers supplied for Kermit came from different slots. If so, you could set slot one to finish the current work unit, remove that slot after the WU uploads and re-add the slot. After the newly added slot has finished a work unit let us know the PRCG numbers and we can check the CPUId or you can check your stats after it uploads to see if your client count has changed to 10. It could take as long as an hour after uploading before it will show up in your stats.

If the second GPU was added after the software was installed it's possible that the indices are not set correctly and that both work units are being processed on the same GPU. GPU-z or other monitoring software can be used to verify it this is happening. You could pause both slots and change the gpu-index for slot 0 from -1 to 0 and for slot 1 from -1 to 1. AFAIK the slot number does become part of the CPUId which should make them different (see the last digit of CPUId in the other multiple GPU clients - slot 1 is one more that slot 0) so it's not clear to me why the indices would have anything to do with the problem but may be worth a try.

Another option which should work if the above doesn't change anything would be to finish both slots, uninstall the software including the data and reinstall the software. The installer is efficient at detecting the usable hardware and setting up multiple GPUs correctly as opposed to when adding a second GPU slot manually after the software has already been installed.

The raw CPUid is added to the slot number, giving what I would call a SlotID (though that's not what the label says). [In V6, it was a MachineID plus a UserID, and both terms were a bit obscure then, too.] Slots 0 and 1 on the same V7 client will have IDs that differ by one. The digits to the left will be the same (except if the least significant digit produces a carry).

What settings appear in the configuration of KERMIT's slots? Did you edit that configuration about the time the machine count changed?
I would remove slot 1 from KERMIT and then add a new one. The only question I'd have is whether to reset the same modified values or adjust them.

Check as many recent WUs as you can find for those two slots. Are they being assigned duplicate WUs or are they all different.
