Message 52844 - Posted: 8 Feb 2012, 17:36:48 UTC

I've updated all of the separation applications to 1.00. For changes people might care about,
    - The old CAL version is gone; it's replaced with the OpenCL application. On AMD/ATI GPUs (older than 79xx) it is using some hackery to use the same IL kernel as before so it should be as fast. However this also means the Radeon 38xx cards aren't supported with new stuff.

    - Radeon 79xx stuff should work

    - The occasional validate errors from empty / truncated stderr should stop

    - AVX will be used if available on Linux and Windows (64 bit only for Windows)

    - I've increased the default GPU target frequency so GPU stuff should make things less laggy on average. You can now also configure this with the web preferences now so you don't need to use app_info stuff if you want to play with that.

    - Partial workaround with high CPU usage with recent Nvidia drivers.*


As usual post problems you run into here.



* It should cut down on the CPU usage a bit while not sacrificing too much. I would recommend not using it unless you are very unhappy with the CPU usage on Nvidia. There are options to change the polling mode if you want to lower the CPU usage further while not slowing it down. (--gpu-wait-factor (default = 0.75) and --gpu-polling-mode (default = - 2) work similarly to how they did with the old CAL one, but slightly different). With the default of -2 it will use mode -1 unless it is an Nvidia driver newer than the one that introduced the high CPU issue, where it will use mode 0. Mode -1 uses the correct waiting method, mode 0 use the correct waiting method with an initial sleep based on time estimates, and modes > 0 are a polling period in milliseconds. The wait factor is a sort of correction of the time estimate used for the initial wait. The default is 0.75, to wait for 75% of the estimated time before trying to poll.

Hi Matt,

since a couple of minutes I do not get wu's.
Servers are running, I found your post here, resetted the project.

I've tried it on my other machine, which has latest AMD-drivers and BM 7.0.12.
A single wu was downloaded, it failed with exit code 1

Albert and SETI Ati-OpenCL wu's work fine there.

Looks like BOINC is trying to run it on a non-double GPU

So maybe BM is the source?
I'm running MW for years now, unless my gpu's haven't lost some bits they are DP!

On my A8-system you may be right, the onboard GPU isn't DP, but the installed HD5830 is. Is there a way to dedicate this gpu to MW?

One of my systems is not getting WUs now either. It did at one point give a message about it being a non-DP GPU which is not the case - it is a 5970, i updated the drivers and copied the app_info from the system which was getting WUs but it still doesn't work.

As far as I know BOINC has always had this absolutely horrid defect where the capabilities of the best GPU = the capabilities of ALL the GPUs, which is why you need to create the cc_config.xml file to use all of your GPUs because this stuff can happen. I still can't believe this is a thing. You can block that GPU from a specific project I guess by adding something like this where you have the 1 enabled.

Radeon HD 7970 isn't getting any WUs (I reset the project).
I'm also running the BM 7.0.8.

Albert@home requires a newer BM; one post there says that BM 6.12.34 has faults regarding openCL and ATI. Version 7.0.3 and higher required.

I will wait some time until my running wu's are finished then I will update BM.

Did the makefile for the app change, because this was not an issue before.

I realize that my glibc is older, but things worked before, and I am not in a position to update them at this time.

I have the same problem.
Just retried now that Matt fixed the ATI preference gone, but did not change...

I statically linked the non-GPU Linux ones last time which isn't really a good thing to do. I rebuilt it and called it 1.01 as a static version for the CPU ones.

I have them all downloaded and will update the app_info versions on my site.

I still don't know if I will be updating from 0.82 yet due to the OpenCL CPU bug that still exists. Especially on a mixed GPU machine.

Right now I'm suspecting that people aren't getting work because it seems that clients < 7 don't report having OpenCL and I updated the scheduler to check for the new stuff.

That is because you are using an app_info (like I am) and that does not bother with the OpenCL check.
