Tasks are erroring out lately on 750ti on Linux BILD. Any ideas?

Initializing prime tables...terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
Host #2209: Memory	1971.45 MB, Swap space: 0 MB

That host has only 2 GB of memory, it just doesn't have enough free memory. Try to create 4 GB swap file.

Added 2GB of RAM, and it is working fine now.

Thank you very much! :D

Is it ok if i post to this thread since my problem is VERY similar, I get a computation error after about 7-8 seconds ever since I've added in a second GPU for boincing. The main GPU (the one that was in there first anbd the strongest) is able to compute fine but the second card will reliably fail with the computations. Both cards are fine and working, not SLI, I did have to enter the <use all gpus> line in cc_config to have them both be used, when I go to the tasks page the below is what I see. The top half doesn't seem to add much.

Error -4 is CL_MEM_OBJECT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE. What are your second GPU's specs? Does it have at least 2 GB of memory?

It's a 560 Ti so no it has 1024 of memory.

Also I added another project and allocated this card towards it to see if same error. Did not fail, so successfully crunching with this card on another project.

If that 2GB memory minimum is a project specific thing then I guess all is working as intended, must have missed the line that mentioned it.

You need to have 2 GB of GPU memory to run GPU version of Amicable Numbers, so it's normal that 560 Ti errors out.

My iMac (i7 late 2015 AMD R9 GPU M395X 4GB) errors out on this build 'Amicable Numbers up to 10^20 v2.08 (opencl_amd) x86_64-apple-darwin'. Prior to this release it was running fine with v2.06.

MacOS didn't like new OpenCL code:

:1516:29: error: comparison of integers of different signs: 'ulong' (aka 'unsigned long') and 'int'
if (amicableCandidateIndex >= candidatesDataHighBitOffsets.x) value_ulong |= 0x100000000UL;

I'll fix it ASAP.

Can you try again with version 2.09?

Thanks Sergei, your quick fix looks like it's working fine. I'll report if there are any further issues on my (MacOS) client side.

MacOS GPU version broke again when the project switched to the new type of work units, sorry for the mess. I'll fix it later today when I have time.
