ATI GPU R600 (R38xx) does not support OpenCL

I am yet another poor soul trying to contribute effort using an R9 290X in a Windoze 7 rig.

Tried your app_info (thanks), but I'm getting an error about:-

"File referenced in app_info.xml does not exist: milkyway_separation_1.20_windows_x86_64__opencl_amd_ati.exe"


Do I need to download this EXE manually? If so, where from?

Before I inserted the app_info file, I had the following installed:-

Boinc 7.4.27 (x64)
Catalyst 14.301
AMD APP SDK 2.9-1

I am also bizarrely gettting a message:-

"app version refers to missing GPU type NVIDIA"

I am hoping there is a simple answer (maybe the sysadmins can fix the project itself?).

Any ideas?

Update:-

I found the following EXE files on another machine running MW@H:-

milkyway_separation__modified_fit_1.32_windows_x86_64__opencl_amd_ati
milkyway_separation__modified_fit_1.36_windows_x86_64__opencl_ati_101
milkyway_separation_1.02_windows_x86_64__ati14
milkyway_separation_1.02_windows_x86_64__opencl_amd_ati

and the client is now running tasks.

However, the task names are preceded by "Local".

Am I storing up problems for when the applications are updated/replaced?

I am having this issue as well, is there a working solution?

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/download/milkyway_separation_1.20_windows_x86_64__opencl_amd_ati.exe

Since there is no instance of NVIDIA in that app_info, it might be coming from another project.

Thanks for the download link, but I have already located a copy on a sister machine. My problems have moved on a little since then.

I have discovered that your app_info is coded for two of the four available applications. I have disabled the unconfigured applications in my profile until I can resolve the issue, either by the sysadmins fixing the generic problem or by using an app_info which covers all four applications.

Are you able/willing to supply a comprehensive app_info - I would have a go myself, but there are parameters in there that I have no idea what they are for.

I have also now discovered that the client does not seem willing to update to the server automatically on a frequent-enough schedule to keep the cache flowing. The sister machine seems to run a scheduler every 60 seconds, clearing completed tasks and requesting new ones, but this new installation doesn't seem to run any automatic scheduler.

Is that configured (or missing) in the app_info?

Contact rate is set by the cache settings that you use.

This should be the CPU app version of Milkyway.

If you want NBODY, I cannot help you on that one.

NBODY is one of the two unconfigured applications. The other is MilkyWay@Home (you have given me the two "Separation" applications).

I am dedicating the CPU processing to a different project (WCG) so do not need the CPU aspect of MW@H.

I have been fiddling with settings trying to sort out conflicting global settings with project-specific ones and think I have finally got the cache setting right to keep up the MW@H feed.

I guess I can live with my new status quo until the general problem is sorted centrally.

Thanks very much for your help.

The 1.20 Seperation app is Milkyway@home now, they do not release work for the older versions.
