1) Message boards : News : Server Maintenance Concluded (Message 64829) Posted 6 Jul 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: Same with me. A ton waiting to upload, and nothing downloaded.

2) Message boards : News : Running Modfit on MilkyWay@home (Message 64742) Posted 23 Jun 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: I had trouble with the N body apps before. Are those no longer being used? I had a very high failure rate on those.

4) Message boards : Number crunching : Setting some apps to GPU and some to CPU (Message 64565) Posted 22 May 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: I have found my card will run the most work at 2 tasks at a time. It takes 240 seconds to run 2 tasks at once, so 120 per task. If I do one at a time it takes 135 seconds. If I go up the 3 tasks it drops the output to even less than one at a time, so 2 is the sweet spot.

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Setting some apps to GPU and some to CPU (Message 64563) Posted 21 May 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: Correct. I don't do the N-Body because they always screw up in some way. Invalid (bay have a bug) or validation inconclusive. Something always seems to go wrong with them. This is my current app config file- <name>milkyway_nbody</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_separation__modified_fit</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_nbody</name> <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent> </app> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name> <plan_class>mt</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus> <cmdline>--nthreads 1</cmdline> </app_version> </app_config> I could actually pull the N-Body stuff out since I won;t do them anymore.

6) Message boards : Number crunching : Setting some apps to GPU and some to CPU (Message 64560) Posted 21 May 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: I would like to set my system up to run certain apps on GPU and others on CPU. Right now I am running the same apps on both. I want to run the Separation apps on CPU only and keep doing the Milky Way apps on GPU only. Is there any way to do that?

7) Message boards : Number crunching : N-body code - preference to limit # of CPUs? (Message 64554) Posted 19 May 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: I was looking for this as well. My newly modified app_config file is working great. <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway_nbody</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_separation__modified_fit</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_nbody</name> <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent> </app> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name> <plan_class>mt</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus> <cmdline>--nthreads 1</cmdline> </app_version> </app_config> Everything else runs on one CPU, N-Body should as well. 7 CPU tasks and 2 GPU tasks at a time keep everything loaded nicely.

8) Message boards : Number crunching : What am I missing in order to get more GPU tasks? (Message 64552) Posted 19 May 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: So you don't have more than 40 tasks in progress? I just looked and your fastest machine is showing 20 tasks in progress. My fastest machine has 64 right now. (and yours is faster) I wonder if you need to change a setting like under network usage under boinc computing preferences, the "Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least". I have it set for .5 days. I think default was .1 days.

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Setting up an app_config file (Message 64443) Posted 2 Apr 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: I used a combination of Keith's last post and Hal's and figured it out. Thank You. I have used Cmd very little. I have used Powershell far more, but am no wiz with that either. Thank you again for your help and patience. I am great at building computers and overclocking CPU's/GPU's, but not that good at this kind of thing yet. I have a lot to learn.

10) Message boards : Number crunching : Setting up an app_config file (Message 64440) Posted 1 Apr 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: Windows 10. Using the Cmd prompt does nothing with that line.

11) Message boards : Number crunching : Setting up an app_config file (Message 64438) Posted 1 Apr 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: Where do I do that? Excuse my ignorance, but what command line?

12) Message boards : Number crunching : Setting up an app_config file (Message 64435) Posted 31 Mar 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: I think I figured it out. Will wait and see how it does. I have an overclocked GPU that has been working at half speed so far. I hope this helps it get more done. I may need to do some more tweaking. <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway_nbody</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_separation__modified_fit</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config>

13) Message boards : Number crunching : Setting up an app_config file (Message 64433) Posted 30 Mar 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: I would think someone has done this before and has an example of the config file. On Seti it is common. Information is easy to find.

14) Message boards : Number crunching : Setting up an app_config file (Message 64431) Posted 28 Mar 2016 by Super Nova Nerd Post: How do you set up an app-config file with milky way? I have one for Seti, but am unsure how to do it for MW.Just letting it go how it is set up it uses almost no processor or CPU power. I want it to run at least 2 GPU tasks at a time and another 6 CPU tasks, reserving 2 CPU's for the GPU tasks. This is my Seti App Config file- <app_config> <app> <name>setiathome_v8</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.50</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1.00</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>astropulse_v7</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.50</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1.00</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> I am unsure how to name them for Milkyway.
