21) Message boards : Number crunching : Out Of Work? (Message 65398) Posted 6 Oct 2016 by Werkstatt Post: Indeed, the behaviour changed in the last days. I've increased the workbuffer to 0,2 / 0,2, but that did not help. Might it be possible that the workbuffer is not estimated correctly due to running more than one wu at a time and longer runtimes are reported? 0,4 days should be some hundred wu's, this buffer was nerver filled up. Is it possible, that the sceduler calculates the number of required wu's by the last request of the account, not the machine? This could explain, why a mixed account with fast and slow machines does not work well.

(Message 65383) Posted 4 Oct 2016 by Werkstatt Post: Hey Everyone, I did some work tuning the database yesterday to improve insert query times for the workunit generator after determining that query was the bottle neck in work unit generation. Seems to have vastly improve the work unit availability. If you guys are still running out of work units please let me know. Jake Hi Jake, THX for the work, looks good now. Pls let me remind you on the HD4850 issues, they do not get work since ~ 2 weeks, worked fine before. BOINC reports these cards as: 04.10.2016 21:35:06 \| \| OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: ATI Radeon HD 4700/4800 (RV740/RV770) (driver version CAL 1.4.1734, device version OpenCL 1.0 AMD-APP (937.2), 512MB, 480MB available, 2080 GFLOPS peak)

24) Message boards : Number crunching : AMD/ATI 4800 series (Message 65358) Posted 30 Sep 2016 by Werkstatt Post: Joseph, some others too reported this problem; my own HD4850 has no work atm. As posted in another thread, the major problem is to supply enough wu's, afterwards this problem will be solved. Be patient for a few more days. Alexander

I think it might have to do with the update to the scheduler I did this morning. It looks like it is recognizing newer cards but not older cards. I wonder if I can write a custom patch for the scheduler to increase the number of cards it recognizes. Jake I can confirm that HD4850 does not get work atm.

GPU load, as reported from GPU-Z, was and is ~100%, but the gaps between are gone. Temp is typically near 30 degrees C with peaks up to 37 deg. Will make my decision for a new RX card in the next days.

29) Message boards : News : GPU Issues Mega Thread (Message 65213) Posted 20 Sep 2016 by Werkstatt Post: MilkyWay@Home v1.39 (opencl_nvidia_101) are processing without error and waiting for validation. I hope they finally will! My system is: * Windows 10 home Core x64 Edition * Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz * NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (3072MB) driver: 372.70 OpenCL: 1.2 Your computer is hidden, so: can you report runtimes, please?

31) Message boards : Number crunching : New AMD 480 GPU (Message 65155) Posted 16 Sep 2016 by Werkstatt Post: Are the problems solved? Are there concrete numbers about the performance? Maybe I will replace my old HD4800 with a RX470 next time if this card gets work.
32) Message boards : Number crunching : HD7700 - Can't get work after driver update (Message 65130) Posted 11 Sep 2016 by Werkstatt Post: OK, a complete deinstallation and reinstallation of an older driver did it.
33) Message boards : Number crunching : HD7700 - Can't get work after driver update (Message 65128) Posted 10 Sep 2016 by Werkstatt Post: Hi, today my win10 installed updates after beeing offline for more than 12 weeks. I also updated the Radeon drivers. After that the system does not get work. Any ideas? http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_host_detail.php?hostid=703310
34) Message boards : Number crunching : threads per gpu? (Message 64914) Posted 20 Jul 2016 by Werkstatt Post: Yes, this is a well known problem. Some time ago there were different wu types with different runtimes, this was helpful. Maybe they come back ..
35) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : MilkyWay@Home for Android (and not only) (Message 64819) Posted 6 Jul 2016 by Werkstatt Post: Hey everyone, We do not currently have plans to support android on MilkyWay@home at this time. Sorry for the disappointment, Jake Jake, thank you for the answer. I know that and I accept that, it's up to the project and the policy they have to decide which apps will be developed and which not. My personal request points more to the small group of High level programmers like Raistmer, Crunch3r & Co who have proofed to be able to develop and maintain a stable app, which could be run as 'Anonyme Plattform (CPU)' or could be the first app using the internal gpu's. Some of them are able to run full-profile Open-CL 1.0. I also would like to say thank you to Profile matszpk for some years of happy crunching with native boinc and some apps developed by him. Alexander

37) Message boards : Number crunching : New AMD 480 GPU (Message 64798) Posted 4 Jul 2016 by Werkstatt Post: Are any numbers about DP performance available? I could not find any test that has any information about that. I've seen @ Einstein, that the standard clocked card is ~ twice as fast as my HD7950 and consumes a bit less power, but this is a SP project.
38) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : MilkyWay@Home for Android (and not only) (Message 64797) Posted 4 Jul 2016 by Werkstatt Post: Add another request for Android from me. I ran the app from matszpk for some years with little or no problems. After the latest update they all fail (the MW apps, others still work). And Android 5 and newer requires a different version. Looking on my devices, i can say, it's worth crunching these wu's: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_host_detail.php?hostid=591534 has crunched 238,764 credits, ID: 523949 has crunched 580,848 credits aso. Maybe someone with the knowledge has time and interest to adapt the existing app, can be found on Github, see link in the first post here. I'm really sorry that Native Boinc is no longer supported and updated, the gui is much nicer than the official BOINC. And it worked very well!
