I am running arkayns app(ati14)
"milkyway_separation_0.82_windows_intelx86__ati14.exe"
for ati 5850 and all of a sudden i get modfit wu's and all errors.

I loged in to my account and deselected the modfit wu's.

I am running anonymous platform and I seem to get modfit tasks even if they are desected in preferences. And I have no app for it in app_info.xml boincmanager keep telling me.

I don't think I should get theese tasks at all. But still they come....

2) Message boards : Number crunching : POEM and MW on one machine (Message 58302)

Post:
I guess you run appinfo to allow multiple wu's at the same time.

My suggestion would be to use app_info.xml instead.

My app_info.xml for POEM looks like this.

<app_info>

<app>
<name>poemcl</name>
<user_friendly_name>POEM++ OpenCL</user_friendly_name>
</app>

<file_info>
<name>poemcl_1.5_windows_intelx86__opencl_ati_100</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>

<app_version>
<app_name>poemcl</app_name>
<version_num>1</version_num>
<plan_class>opencl_ati_100</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
<flops>209876543210</flops>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>1</count>
</coproc>
<cmdline></cmdline>
<file_ref>
<file_name>poemcl_1.5_windows_intelx86__opencl_ati_100</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

</app_info>

And you can use the line <count>1</count> <count>0.5</count> or <count>0.25</count> to allow 1,2 and 4 wu's at the same time.

Then with Milkyway....

I have an app_info.xml here

<app_info>
<app>
<name>milkyway</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>milkyway_separation_1.02_windows_intelx86__opencl_amd_ati.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>milkyway</app_name>
<version_num>102</version_num>
<flops>1.0e11</flops>
<avg_ncpus>0.05</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
<plan_class>ati14ati</plan_class>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>1</count>
</coproc>
<cmdline></cmdline>
<file_ref>
<file_name>milkyway_separation_1.02_windows_intelx86__opencl_amd_ati.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>

Where you have a <count>1</count> and you can do the same 1,2 or 4

If you set both projects to 0.5 you will have 1POEM task and 1 Milkyway task running at the same time.

You will have to find which numbers are the best for you.

Download Milkyway optimized app with app_info.xml from arkayns site:
http://www.arkayn.us/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=1128fe3162aea106a804657cf44ea433&action=tpmod;dl

I think the best thing is to have the same count number for booth projects.
But that's me, maybe you can find a better combination, maybe use appconfig.xml and app_info for POEM and only app_info.xml for MW. Find what is best for you.

And if you run both projects with count 0.5 maybe resource 100/100 can be a good thing.

And you can use cc_config.xml file options to speed some things up a bit.

An example:

<cc_config>
<options>
<rec_half_life_days>0.25</rec_half_life_days>
<http_transfer_timeout>600</http_transfer_timeout>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
<max_file_xfers>12</max_file_xfers>
<max_file_xfers_per_project>6</max_file_xfers_per_project>
</options>
</cc_config>


The <rec_half_life_days> are default 10
And is used to balance the resource share so boinc know what project it will download next.

The smaller number the faster balance. I choose 0.25(I think it should be default).

<http_transfer_timeout> is default 600seconds, I don't know why I keep that line...

<report_results_immediately> 1 is to report result as soon as wu is uploaded and ready to report , Then if needed boinc asks for more wu's and that can be good for filling up workcache.

<max_file_xfers>12</max_file_xfers>
<max_file_xfers_per_project>6</max_file_xfers_per_project>

Is to download more wu's at a time. Default is 2

I hope this can be of any help.

cc_config.xml is located in C:\Programdata\BOINC folder and has to be created with notepad or similiar.

I haven't tried it since I run Win Vista.
Try it and let us know, please.

I take Thors hammer and install system backup from last Sunday.... :-p never again touch any AMD display driver ! :) Back in the game... get the 100M and then have a MW break :)
Thx everybody for help ! :) keep crunching.



I got the same problem as you today.
I did install and uninstall 12.8 4 times before it started to work.

AMD should make a working installer/uninstaller to their software.

The windows restore points can be handy some times.

Normally the SDK isn't needed.

Only the AMD APP part which is included in the driver nowadays.
Choose advanced when installing cat and you'll see all the parts of catalyst package.

I already have a clean install of 12.8.... but get another tip... i guess i forget to reinstall the AMD APP SDK.... needed for parallel processing :-O
Long time ago i update the last time... can remember... :-p
Catalyst = **** (censored) :)


That might be it.
I always install AMD APP that comes with the driver.

Uninstall cat driver again.
Restart.
Find file amdocl.dll or atiocl.dll and manually remove it.

I filed a support ticket to AMD about this 13.4 --> 12.8 and they say use third party software like driver sweaper to remove left garbage files.
Then install cat 12.8 again

remove Projekt milkyway from BM and the re attach to Milkyway again.

I bet it will work.

I think AMD should make a working uninstaller for their software.....
