I joined Milyway_GPU to try the CUDA apps, and yes I get the same error Server error: feeder not running And yet when I look at the boinc messages tab, I can see normal milkyway requesting GPU apps - should this be the case as I have no ATI gpu's only nvidia? After reading this post, Im wondering if there is any point in trying Milyway_GPU if it has been down since May... ID: 27056 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The Gpu app was first made to be use on this project, but the app is so fast that with a number of gpus on the project the server can't handle it. So Travis' decision was to make a second project for gpus only. Well that has been months and it still isn't running. After reading this post, Im wondering if there is any point in trying Milyway_GPU if it has been down since May... It was never up to start with. That is why noone has any credit.

Thats cos the BOINC developers seem to like it this way...

Server error: feeder not running Is the correct response because the project isnt running yet. BOINC notes you have a NVIDIA GPU enabled and makes requests to all projects with it, again they seem to like it this way... After reading this post, Im wondering if there is any point in trying Milyway_GPU if it has been down since May... Its not that its down, it hasnt been commissioned yet.

I have never receive CUDA WUs since I join Milkyway_GPU in May 24, 2009. It always say "Server error: feeder not running". And it will keep saying that. no CUDA capable application has been released yet. It is still being worked on. There are numerous threads on Milkyway about this. Travis is even considering not going ahead with the GPU site if the server can handle the current work for Milkyway and the GPU app. The only GPU you can use at the moment is an ATI 38, 45, 47, 48 series cards (I think that was all of them) and use the optimised app 0.19f to get normal Milkyway apps. If you read some of the other threads you can get more information. ID: 27088 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

AI was supposed to be working on an ATI app, but they just shut down a little while ago, so that's not coming. DA has said there probably won't be any ATI support in BOINC until around 6.10 or so too, so that's a bummer. ID: 27285 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
