1) Message boards : Number crunching : PC with AMD GPUs and the LinuxMint 14 64bit Cinnamon system (Message 61572) Posted 21 Apr 2014 by Gandalf_the_Grey Post: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/hosts_user.php It's awake! I took your advice and swapped out the AMD for NVIDIA GPUs. Then, used the command sudo service boinc-client restart Now I'm up and running. Thanks Mikey for the suggestion. I still think if Linux can crunch with NVs they should be able to do it with AMD. But what do I know. I'm just a retired engineer and an active Wizard.

I personally gave up and only use Linux with Nvidia gpu's or on some machines with no gpu. Thanks, Mikey. That is just what I needed to hear. :(

I have my MilkyWay@Home preferences set to run on Use ATI GPU. However, The above link shows that Milkway can not see my GPUs. Does someone have an answer for this? Thanks

5) Message boards : News : Award Badges Going Live Soon! (Message 60861) Posted 29 Jan 2014 by Gandalf_the_Grey Post: They say memory is the 2nd thing to go as you get older, but I forgot what the first thing was. The first thing is you lose all your Badges. Very sad. Then, you can't remember where you lost them.

8) Message boards : Number crunching : Total Results (Message 57987) Posted 23 Apr 2013 by Gandalf_the_Grey Post: I've been in communications with an Administrator at Free-DC. I ask if it would be possible to include the Total Results like they do the Total Credit in there webpages, example http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...=eah&team=6105. I was informed that that information was not included in the Projects exported files. He also agreed that such a modification to the exported files would be the authority of BOINC. When I told him that data such as Total Results would be a useful tool in encouraging new members to join a crunching recruitment effort. That while there are many who are encouraged by credits/points, there are some who value results as a more encouraging indicator of work accomplished. His opinion was that such an inclusion of data should not be that difficult to implement. Since WCG provides that info for its team members, why not include it for other Project's data. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/te...rdsPerPage=100 I am posting this thread to recruit support for this concept. If enough Projects and project teams support this initiative, perhaps BOINC can be persuaded to implement this modification. Respectively, Gandalf_the_Grey

10) Message boards : Number crunching : [Resolved] Task credits (Message 57930) Posted 15 Apr 2013 by Gandalf_the_Grey Post: I've noticed that some MilkyWay@Home v1.02 (opencl_amd_ati) tasks earn about 100 credits and other MilkyWay@Home v1.02 (opencl_amd_ati) tasks earn about 200 credits. What is the factor that decides this apparent discrepancy? Thanks Gandalf
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Replacement tasks (Message 57929) Posted 15 Apr 2013 by Gandalf_the_Grey Post: My computers do not seem to be getting replacement work, when a task reports completion. Have I missed a setup somewhere?

13) Message boards : Number crunching : [Resolved] I got credits (Message 57917) Posted 13 Apr 2013 by Gandalf_the_Grey Post: I got credits, but BOINCstats doesn't show them. BOINCstats depends on the XML output of the projects. BOINCstats checks for XML updates every half hour, and, when available, downloads them, and reads the content to update the current-credit. Once a day all stats are updated, and all info from the XML files is pumped into the BOINCstats database. Sometimes the XML output is delayed, or there isn't any XML output for an extended period due to (server)problems at the project. When this happens, it's impossible for BOINCstats to update, and your new credits won't show on BOINCstats, until XML output is resumed.
