21) Message boards : Number crunching : Testing ATI Application Availability (Message 35450) Posted 11 Jan 2010 by Divide Overflow Post: A quick question, why does the app report that it uses 41% of the CPU? If it not too much trouble, may you look into perhaps lowering the number? perhaps closer to the magic number of 27% ? While the new GPU app says it makes a high CPU usage on the task list, it is actually using far, far less. Almost all of the work is done on the GPU per Gipsel's impressive original optimization. A quick test shows me that it's using less than 1% of my CPU.
22) Message boards : Number crunching : Testing ATI Application Availability (Message 35318) Posted 11 Jan 2010 by Divide Overflow Post: Unfortunately my CPU is also now crunching MW, when it should be crunching primegrid. is there a way to set this up so it only crunches mw on gpu? Verstapp, go into your account > MilkyWay@home preferences and remove the check for "Use CPU".
23) Message boards : Number crunching : Testing ATI Application Availability (Message 35311) Posted 11 Jan 2010 by Divide Overflow Post: Things are looking up! The update has solved the ATI GPU detection and work for the new app is flowing and validating nicely. Good job!
24) Message boards : Number crunching : Testing ATI Application Availability (Message 35137) Posted 7 Jan 2010 by Divide Overflow Post: I just tried attaching my 5870, for the umpteenth time now... Anthony did say that it would be available within the next 48 hours, not immediately. I don't see the new ATI app listed on the applications page yet so hang in there.
25) Message boards : Number crunching : Current List ATI card support (Message 34941) Posted 31 Dec 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: Unfortunately the 5770 and 5750 do not support double precision and will not work here.
26) Message boards : Number crunching : my workunits are all marked invalid... (Message 34937) Posted 30 Dec 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: Another recent task also marked invalid: de_s222_3s_best_1p_03r_008_4247_1262156632
27) Message boards : Number crunching : Out of Work (Message 34896) Posted 29 Dec 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: Work is flowing again and it looks like the validator is playing catch-up. I still don't see the extra information that should be available on my computers though (GPU type and BOINC version). ATI detection still isn't working with the later clients?
28) Message boards : Number crunching : Server crash is a good opportunity to upgrade it (finally) (Message 34443) Posted 10 Dec 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: How are the updates to the applications to refine background star distribution mentioned about a month ago coming?
29) Message boards : Number crunching : new hard drive installed (Message 33695) Posted 25 Nov 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: (also see if the server doesn't go kerpow again) Didn't take as long as I thought. They did say that they would be making some adjustments to the server to help improve things, as well as the anticipated updates to the server code and applications. I'd expect the server to go offline again when these changes are implemented. Edit: Owch. More hardware problems. :(
30) Message boards : Number crunching : New Dr in the House (Message 33393) Posted 20 Nov 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: Congratulations Dr. Desell! I hope you took the time to celebrate properly. Now you can get back to work by providing (tasks) for your family (us)! :)
31) Message boards : Number crunching : Website slow for anyone else? (Message 33002) Posted 3 Nov 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: Back to usual, 5 min to make a stupid post. How long to make an intelligent one? ;)
32) Message boards : Number crunching : Server s/w update? (Message 32619) Posted 21 Oct 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: It seems things have stagnated here lately. It would be nice to see some updates done for the project. Updating the server side BOINC code and producing a standard project application for ATI GPU's shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish.
33) Message boards : Number crunching : 3rd.in - optimized apps (Message 32346) Posted 13 Oct 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: I don't do anything with the XML app_info file, let alone "make arrangements". I just copy it into the correct place and run. I ASSUMED that this application would be ready-to-go when posted. ... I think there needs to be some/more QA (quality assurance) done on these applications prior to their release. You'd probably be better off sticking with the standard project applications. You made some pretty poor assumptions.
34) Message boards : Number crunching : Strange Workunits (Message 32048) Posted 6 Oct 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: Here's another one overdue for deletion: Workunit 90136226
35) Message boards : Number crunching : HD5870 (Message 32004) Posted 6 Oct 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: If you're going to crunch 24x7, I'd suggest waiting 'till some custom cooling solutions are on the market. The improved cooling efficiency can give you longer life span and much lower fan noise at load.
36) Message boards : Number crunching : 6.10.8 Released (Message 31539) Posted 26 Sep 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: And 6.10.9 followed just a short while later.
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Problem ATI v0.2 and Win7? (Message 30896) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: <Double post from page load problems.>
38) Message boards : Number crunching : Problem ATI v0.2 and Win7? (Message 30895) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: When rolling back, 6.10.3 may error out on those interrupted units that are "waiting to run", so don't worry if has to clear up your plate a bit. From there on it should be smooth sailing. (As much as BOINC ever is...) :)
39) Message boards : Number crunching : Problem ATI v0.2 and Win7? (Message 30890) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: Am getting a few Computation Errors after 1 second here and there, but most WUs seem to be going thru OK. This is probably due to your BOINC client 6.10.4 It can leave one workunit in progress and switch to another more recently downloaded one. When it goes back to the interrupted unit it may error out. If you use 6.10.3 this clears up.
40) Message boards : Number crunching : Problem ATI v0.2 and Win7? (Message 30857) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by Divide Overflow Post: Do you have any idea why 0.20 is only giving errors and 0.19 f works fine on Windows 7 X64? I'm having no trouble with the new 0.20 ATI app on Win 7 64 - using the new Catalyst 9.9 and BOINC ver 6.10.3 It sounds like CP has a suggestions for trying a different Catalyst version.
