Empty work server 171.67.108.45

Post by AJMSmith »

I've been unable to get a work unit for CPU processing for 40-41 hours now ... the first and last relevant lines are attached below.

I also had a GPU problem today but that was solved by an Nvidia driver upgrade so I know I do not have internet connection problems.

The Assignment Server at 171.67.108.45 unable to assign you to a suitable Work Server. (It is NOT a Work Server.)

For an accurate assessment of your problem, we need more informatioin (see the Signature of this post.)

My first guess is that the problem is associated with the number of CPUs assigned to your CPU slot. If if you have one GPU and a CPU slot with 8 or 12 threads, the default value of -1 assigns either 7 or 11 CPU threads. You need to override this value with 6 or 9.

On checking that was the problem ... I had tried a reinstall after upgrading Win 10 to the anniversary version. The upgrade had deleted OpenCL.DLL and I tried the reinstall to get it back (the reinstall changed the number of CPU from the 6 I had had it set to to the default value). I eventually downloaded a copy and placed it in the F@H program folder and that seems to work.

From the way this manifests itself it implies that the default number of CPUs needs amending.

I agree.

From what I hear, the default number of CPUs will be amended soon.

Also,
WARNING...Failed to get assignment from '171.64.65.35:80': Empty work server assignment
ERROR...Exception: Could not get an assignment

should probably be replaced by something like:
WARNING...'171.64.65.35:80' failed to find a suitable work server.
ERROR...Exception: Could not get an assignment


That still wouldn't tell you what to do, but it seems more meaningful.
