This is becoming a thing on my computer. Not sure if it is my side or yours. I have an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4060 GPU

68477702 29830654 212551 22 Nov 2023, 23:03:03 UTC 23 Nov 2023, 2:29:53 UTC Error while computing 29.23 29.23 --- Amicable Numbers up to 10^21 v3.02 (opencl_nvidia) windows_x86_64

Outcome Computation error
Client state Compute error
Exit status 198 (0x000000C6) EXIT_MEM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED

Any thoughts?

I also get a consistent error with my NVIDIA GeForce 920MX. Please help as I have never been able to compute using my GPU

Hi johndad5:

Happy to try to help you. Are you sure Amicable is having trouble with your laptop (that has the RTX 4060)? I don't see any recent tasks for that computer (ID 212551). OTOH, Amicable running on your core i7/GTX 1660Ti computer (ID 211049) has reported some recent errors.

I know next to nothing about Windows, so I have copied the entire error message from one of your recent problematic tasks to this message (below). One thing common to all of your problematic tasks is that the working set size is greater than the client RAM limit (4843.71 MB). Are BOINC and/or Amicable getting enough memory? I noticed that the peak working set size for the task that this computer recently completed (68978624) was only 2828.43 MB.

<core_client_version>7.16.11</core_client_version>

One more thing, johndad5 - Amicable GPU tasks require 8 GB of system RAM. You can see a discussion of this issue here: https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/forum_thread.php?id=79&postid=1322#1322. You might spend some time browsing the thread that encompasses this post, as it discusses the potential shortcomings of using a pagefile to overcome this limitation.

Hi Adi Putra Jaya:

Amicable GPU tasks require 8 GB of system memory. If your machine doesn't have enough RAM, Amicable GPU tasks will use virtual memory/swap files to make up the shortfall. However, it appears that your VM/Swapfile allocation is insufficient to accommodate Amicable GPU tasks.

Hello, I am unable to merge two instances of the same "new build"

I get an error

Processing White_i9
Can't merge host 217858 into 217993 - they're incompatible

It is the same hardware however one does not show the GPU in the list of my PCs


any advice would be appreciated

cheers
David
