Be sure to read the included readme.txt!

I read it

Code: Gipsel
Test: HiRN, Emploi and a lot of other people of Team Planet3DNow!, www.planet3dnow.de

Thanks guys and gals! Much appreciated.

0.19d is floating around already (it is usable, even on a multi GPU setup, it just doesn't use multiple GPUs to the full extent). So if Ice wants he can put it on zslip. He has it already.


0.19d is now on zslip - thanks Cluster Physik.

Maybe it would be better to advertise it with "lower CPU load" and not multi GPU, as this is not really working.

OK - done

Thank you for the update...

Downloaded and installed 19d. Love the new options ... now I need to play with them to see if I can keep it working as I like...

Of course, Comcast has gifted me service intermittancy this day to help me stay rested and happy ... GRRRR ...

The GPU app is bloody awesome Cluster Physik! Thank you for taking the time to put it together!

Will this app ever be able to be run on an HD4670?

No, the underlying hardware does not support double precision calculations.

Any news on Linux version? Booting to Windows is like return to 19th Century for me. ;-)

One more question - how do you prevent other project to soak all cache for WUs? I want to crunch Einstein on CPU along with Milky on GPU, but Milky is limited for 6 WUs/CPU, then Einstein fills up the cache (I have it set for 1 day) and then Milky does not request more work. I had to put No New Work for Einstein and suspend couple of its WUs to keep GPU busy.

I have that problem on my quad. I've set the resource share for MW above 50% and limited it to using only 1 CPU to try to overcome this problem. Has worked pretty well, but BOINC still doesn't increase the MW debt sufficiently well since once MW runs out of work it tends to reset the debt. Stupid system....

Like TGG, I have my resource share set to a level where it is near 50% on a quad system with the ATI GPU ... MW runs MOST of the time ... but I have "boom and Bust" queues and times when the GPU app is preempted by CPU only tasks of other projects.

THAT said, I still have decent daily earnings so am leaving well enough alone as tinkering with the numbers and settings did not do much to change matters. We need to get the developers to finish messing up the work fetch policy and get it working so that we can have the ATI GPU recognized as a resource by BOINC...

I have also run into this problem And have tried several different combo's with very little luck..........I found what works best for me is 6.5.0 boinc and the new 19e.....I have it set to run 4 gpu projects and 4 cpu projects and that seems to make everything play nice together..........

I've gotta stop using the development versions in the vain hope that one day it will work right. I can't recall the last time I believed the work fetch policy, resource share and debt system worked like I thought it would/should. Time to send an email to the alpha mailing list.

I think that every machine is different and you just have to play around to find the combo that works best for that computer...

Has anyone else had any issues with .19e? I just started using it today and ran into a problem. I have my pc set to turn off my monitor when I'm idle for 20mins and every time i come back to my pc after this it has rebooted with an error. .19e does seem to run smoother, but i switched back to .19d for the time being. I'm running vista 64 with the 8.12 driver.

Then disable that setting and turn off your monitor by hand ;)

I do not have any issues with 19.e version, runs smoothly without issues, just Milky server does not send work constantly during the day. My screensaver is set to 10 minutes, WinXP32bit home, ATI 3850, Catalyst 8.12. I am patiently waiting for Linux version.

I am running the same versions as you are and haven't had a problem so far....My monitor is set to turn off in 5 minutes.....
