[QUOTE=chalsall;540538]Taking a quick stab in the dark... Your Subprocess() call appears to be passing all the parameters to CUDAPm1 as the file name.

Also, wrt your previous message, was your attempt to run "./CUDAPm1" within a Notebook section? If so, you need to do "!./CUDAPm1" instead, since it's within the Python shell.[/QUOTE]

OK making progress. Running this:

%cd '/content/drive/My Drive/cudapm1//'

# List files here
for x in os.listdir('.'):
print (x)

%cd '/content/drive/My Drive/cudapm1/cudapm1-0.20/'

# List files here too.
for x in os.listdir('.'):
print (x)

# libcufft.so.5.5 is in the list above but in just in case I also copied it to the parent
import shutil
shutil.copyfile('libcufft.so.5.5', '/content/drive/My Drive/cudapm1/libcufft.so.5.5')

# RUN it!!!

When you use subprocess.call (or subprocess.run), it expects each parameter to be in its own string, separated by a comma. The way you have it, it is trying to run the whole thing as an executable, but that is clearly not a valid file. Try this instead:

[code]subprocess.run(“content/drive/My Drive/cudapm1/cudapm1-0.20/CUDAPm1”, “61408363”, “-b1”, “600000”, “-b2”, “120000000”, “-f”, “3360k”)[/code]

I missed a key thing: the list of arguments have to be enclosed in brackets ([]).
So it should read
[code]subprocess.run([“content/drive/My Drive/cudapm1/cudapm1-0.20/CUDAPm1”, “61408363”, “-b1”, “600000”, “-b2”, “120000000”, “-f”, “3360k”])[/code]Without it, it's treating "61408363" as the argument for bufsize, which is a string, not an integer. And that's why it's breaking.

Returncode=127
 

I tried these 3 variations (One at a time all with the same error):
[CODE]subprocess.run(["/content/drive/My Drive/cudapm1/cudapm1-0.20/CUDAPm1"])
subprocess.run(["/content/drive/My Drive/cudapm1/cudapm1-0.20/CUDAPm1", "61408363", "-b1", "600000", "-b2", "12000000", "-f", "3360k"])
subprocess.run(["/content/drive/My Drive/cudapm1/cudapm1-0.20/CUDAPm1", "61408363 -b1 600000 -b2 12000000 -f 3360k"])
[/CODE]
[CODE]CompletedProcess(args=['/content/drive/My Drive/cudapm1/cudapm1-0.20/CUDAPm1'], returncode=127)[/CODE]

How do I know if the 127 was from subprocess.run
OR
from CUDAPm1?

It it was from CUDAPm1 can someone familiar with it tell me what that code means,

Thx

Juggling a few balls at the moment, but I suspect that code is not good...

Your above "error while loading shared libraries: libcufft.so.5.5: cannot open shared object" suggests the executable doesn't like it's home. (Read: perhaps try compiling the code in it's native environment.)

The return code comes from subprocess.run. Ideally, it should be 0, which means the program ran with no problems. Here, we got a non zero code, which means something went wrong when python tried to execute the program. In this case, something went wrong in executing cudapm1, and thus the process ended, and python returns the error code in a CompletedProcess object.
You might get more information if you add the keyword argument “check=True” to the run command (without the quotes).

Yup...from CUDAPm1 ...I think Chris is right; I need to recompile

Anyone else think that Colab and the rest of google and amazon, M$, etc should through all their spare cycles at folding@home.

[QUOTE=Uncwilly;540748]Anyone else think that Colab and the rest of google and amazon, M$, etc should through all their spare cycles at folding@home.[/QUOTE]
Folding@home supposedly has 470 Petaflops as is. To put that in perspective, it's over [B]1200 times[/B] the stated throughput of GIMPS at [URL]https://www.mersenne.org/primenet/[/URL] (384 Tflops)

reference: [URL]https://www.techspot.com/news/84492-foldinghome-now-has-access-over-470-petaflops-distributed.html[/URL]
Which, I suppose, suggests there's room for GIMPS to grow, after the current COVID19 unpleasantness is behind us.

I see I have an old-experimental version. Is there a better one here?

Can anyone tell me which one will work at colab?
