Posted 4 Feb 2021 by EPFrybar Post: yes, this file (the one I just added and fixed the "problem") <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.49</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> is : BoincData\projects\milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway\app_config.xml: and this file <cc_config> <options> <ncpus>0</ncpus> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> <ignore_cuda_dev>11</ignore_cuda_dev> <ignore_cuda_dev>12</ignore_cuda_dev> <max_file_xfers_per_project>8</max_file_xfers_per_project> <save_stats_days>360</save_stats_days> <http_transfer_timeout>120</http_transfer_timeout> <max_tasks_reported>50</max_tasks_reported> </options> </cc_config> is BoincData\cc_config.xml ( I no longer have the "<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>" line in it (every 90 sec's seemed a bit too often) Ed F |

Posted 3 Feb 2021 by EPFrybar Post: Great we now have work again!! Well I had time to look through my archives of playing with BOINC and came across an old friend that worked here. This is the ONLY change I made: added BoincData\projects\milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway\app_config.xml: <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.49</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> Read config files and presto-changeo I now have both GPU's running!! Thanks for the ideas!! Ed F |

Posted 30 Jan 2021 by EPFrybar Post: I have a cc_config.xml in place under BoincData as follows: Just for fun, I think I'll turn MW@H on on a 1070 only computer and see if it is recognized and runs... (if it gives me problems I'll trim cc_config.xml down a bit and see if that helps) Ideas are welcome :-) Ed F |

Posted 29 Jan 2021 by EPFrybar Post: Windows 10 schedules a task in cpu pairs like I indicated (0:1, 2:3, 4:5 etc) and Ubuntu schedules in pairs of 0:12, 1:13, 2:14 etc. if it can ... I ASSUME this reduces context switching and thus reduces overhead. I am not doing anything funky at this point ... running BOINC "out-of-the-box" ... I do have the old cc_config from SETI. I continue to be puzzled by BOINC only scheduling 1 GPU for MW@H but scheduling both for other projects I've tried. I think it interesting that it runs 1 GPU task but downloads 2 pending even though i have a resource share set to "0". Still open to ideas!! Ed F |

Posted 28 Jan 2021 by EPFrybar Post: Yes, BOINC sees both cards.. I have 11 CPU busy running WCG@H 1 CPU running MW@H and 12 "CPU's" idle. windows-10 is doing a good job of keeping CPU "pairs" (0:1, 2:3, 4:5, etc) at 100% and not mis-scheduling / overusing any one cpu. Ed F |

Posted 28 Jan 2021 by EPFrybar Post: Why do you have the ignore cuda device in your cc_config? And the device numbers are WAY outside your actual count. That is a leftover from the SETI days when I was doing funky configurations :-) BOINC picks up both cards in your host. BOINC only reports the most capable card which is the 1660 That doesn't answer the question of why MW@H only uses 1 GPU. SETI used both and GPU@H uses both (when it's up). Ed F |

Posted 28 Jan 2021 by EPFrybar Post: just joined the project with windows 10 on an amd ryzen threadripper 1920x 12-core 3.50 Ghz I have a cc_config.xml in place under BoincData as follows: <cc_config> and have 2 GPU's as follows: nvidia geforce gtx 1660 super (device 0) and nvidia geforce gtx 1070 (device 1) and only the 1660 super runs the project any easy fixes?? Ed F P.S. also running WCG Covid WU's on the CPU's |
