21) Message boards : Number crunching : More Invalid wu's (Message 26431)

I have also problems with some WU's. I don't mind the loss of credit, but when I get "display driver stopped responding" the astronomy_0.19_ATI_x64f.exe process starts eating 100% of CPU time! As I can't babysit the computers all the time, I have 100% CPU load for long times and BOINC not doing any work until I kill that process or restart BOINC.

This is an example of it: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=88488548

Using Win7 64bit, Cat 9.5, 3850. Often the WU's that jam up are not shown on the list, as after restart processing starts fromn 0% again and might go through the second time. Have tried to change f and w parameters, but just get low GPU utilization and problems still appear.. Current settings: <cmdline>n1 w1.7 f100</cmdline>

Any chance of getting the ATI-app to notice it's jammed up and auto-kill itself? Any idea why I'm getting these problems?

Oh and sometimes no credit is granted for succesfull WU's: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=86663177

Please keep discussions ON topic. It would be nice to read only about MilkyWay_GPU in this thread, and not browse through a lot of off-topic posts. Do we have admins here who keep the discussions under control?

Ice, I can provide you with north-european mirror if you like. Meaning you can have several links on zslip.com

BTW, I am wondering why milkyway is not hosting these gpu apps the same way they host cpu apps? Some juristical reasons? (Sorry if this was already spoken about, did not read the entire thread)

Any news on a ATI GPU app for Linux? I have spare cards, but only my linux comp left to put them in...
