Title: Issues with opencl_ati5_SoG_nocal units
Post by: Vampus on February 09, 2017, 04:15:29 AM
Hey guys. Is anyone having issues with the opencl_ati5_SoG_nocal units? I keep getting "SETI@home | task postponed 30.000000 sec:" and when they do get completed, they report "Output file XYZ absent". Looking at the Stderr output for one of the tasks obviously shows a major issue, but it's out of my pay grade. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=5487379733 (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=5487379733).

It only appears to be happening to the SoG ATI units, and not other ATI units. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=5485457427 (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=5485457427).

Anyone know what's going on and a suggested fix?

Looks like there is a problem with the application ?  There is a thread on SETI HERE (https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=80859) and the answer seems to be to get a version of the application.   You can do this by setting the "No More Work" for the project and then abort all tasks.  Then go back to the Project Tab and "Reset Project" which should get myou the latest version of the application.

Look at the thread there may be more to it I just had a quick look.

Cheers Dingo. A quick skimming of the thread seems to indicate a reset is the solution. I only realised it was just the SoG tasks when I wrote the post, prior to that I had just been searching on the task postponed and output absent issues and it was bring up rather old threads. Will reset and see how we go  :thanks1:
