There is a message down near the bottom about disabling GPU tasks because of remote desktop. I am not sure of the significance of that but if true then that is the problem

I use the free splashtop and vnc and have never had a problem with windows 10.

The W7100 has low double precision performance

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-pro-wx-7100,4896-6.html but it does support double precision so that is not the problem

Is it working on other projects? When about when not using remote desktop?

[EDIT] was in tflops, not gflops so dp performance is ok

"WX 7100" Its essentially the pro version of an RX480

I agree with BeemerBiker that the remote desktop may be an issue, but I think we need a little more information to sort this out. I am assuming you are getting no CPU nor any GPU tasks for MW? I see you're running Seti as well, are you getting any tasks there as well? Do MW & Seti have the same resource share, or are they different?

There is a way to find out from BOINC why it is not requesting tasks. In the cc_config file, you can add to the <sched_op_debug> and <work_fetch_debug> lines. Basically, it would look like this in the file:

<cc_config>
      <log_flags>
          <schedu_op_debug>1</schedu_op_debug>
          <work_fetch_debug>1</work_fetch_debug>
     </log_flags>
</cc_config>

If you post the output of those lines that should help figure out why you're not getting CPU/GPU tasks.

Hello It's Diego,

I hope I can help you or some other with similar problem of GPU being not recognized by M@W

Beg pardon if I write you only now but something closest to your situations happend to me some days ago.


It's seems that if you install boinc as service (an option of boinc installer) is sure more secure but doesn't allow Boinc and Milkyway proceding to recognize our Ati GPU.

But if you and anyone wants to use its own GPU you have to not select the installation option of having installed boinc as service.

have a nice time to everyone here.

Faitfully.

Diego
