1) Message boards : Number crunching : No work for AMD GPU (Message 64541) Posted 7 May 2016 by Corsair Post: Ok, gone deep through the BOINC manager error and found in the below thread for the app_info.xml that instead of 1.20 is 1.02 in the first app declaration so now for the time being receiving well workunits but only problem I see is that is declared as anonymous IÂ´ll have to be aware when the executables will upgrade to exchange these in the app_info.xml thanks!!
2) Message boards : Number crunching : No work for AMD GPU (Message 64540) Posted 7 May 2016 by Corsair Post: Try this thread: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=3926 The problem is the current Server Software doesn't correctly recognize your card, there is a work around in there. The Admins are working on fixing the problem more permanently, but no time frames yet. followed instructions in above thread and made a app_info.xml in directory: D:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway with the info related in the thread. also I have another file in the same directory named app_config.xml with the next content: <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.50</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.10</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_separation__modified_fit</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.25</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.10</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> IÂ´ve stopped all other projects and require work for milkyway but still not receiving job also updated in project preferences for this computer to be able to process with ATI/AMD GPU. my brain is drained of ideas to get GPU work in this computer.

4) Message boards : News : New NBody test searches (Message 54987) Posted 3 Jul 2012 by Corsair Post: All workunits ps & ds crunched are getting error when reached 100% of computation.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : ATi 4770 - Problems with Milkyway (Message 32155) Posted 8 Oct 2009 by Corsair Post: I've the same problem with a 4770 and a PSU of 450w, if I switch of the screen it crunch without problem or no so much, if I switch on the screen in 20 seconds MW crash (and doing some work with mouse, screen, etc.) I've installed driver version 9.8 without CCC and it's a little more stable, but still to much crashes.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : It's nearly the weekend, & guess what? (Message 31846) Posted 2 Oct 2009 by Corsair Post: Hi all, it looks like that in lunatics are doing some development to run it with CAL, so, probably in the next few days will had something to test with our ATIs GPU (cross fingers) ;) nice POETS day
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Crunching CPU/GPU 0.20 together?? (Message 31474) Posted 24 Sep 2009 by Corsair Post: I've seen in previous posts that somebody is using MW CPU and GPU at the same time, but I haven't seen any other comment from tester of this thread.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Crunching CPU/GPU 0.20 together?? (Message 31468) Posted 24 Sep 2009 by Corsair Post: of course thanks for the answers, but I ask this because in SETI you can do it and with anonimous platforms, e.g.: - Astropulse 5.05 (CPU) - Seti 6.03 (CPU) - Seti 6.08 (CUDA/GPU) untill yesterday I had installed one NVIDIA 9800 in one of my computers and this was crunching CPU AP 5.05 & Seti 6.03(CPU) & Seti 6.08 (GPU) at the same time, same folder and same project, so I expected that MW could do the same just making up properly the .xml file. this is just for knowledge (group and mine, if possible), not for make any thunderstorn. Cheer all and thanks for the answers, Corsair. PD: I suppose that MW with CUDA could be done as the CPU is 0.20 version and the CUDA version is 0.21 (If I remember)
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Crunching CPU/GPU 0.20 together?? (Message 31455) Posted 24 Sep 2009 by Corsair Post: Hi group, again asking. ;-) is it possible crunching together CPU/GPU optimized applications of MW 0.20??? CPU: AMD Phenom x4 SS3 GPU: ATI HD4770 OS.: win xp pro x64 SP2 (MUI Spaniard) & CPU: AMD Athlon x2 SS3 GPU: HD3850 OS.: win xp pro x64 SP2 (MUI Spaniard) I've tried to merge in the same .xml file properly both applications, but it says something like: 0.20 applications ... and the CPU app. is erased. I ask this because if I don't like to work 24/7 the GPU, just not asking for more work (could be another possibility, I'm open to suggestion) and the CPU will work with the remaining applications (for CPU). in this last thread, is there any way of auto dissabling in some certain hours the GPU work and enable at this time the CPU work??? Cheers all, Corsair.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : ATI 4770 work ... or not? (Message 31377) Posted 23 Sep 2009 by Corsair Post: Hi Group, till yesterday I've been working with HD3850 and Milkyway_win_0.20ati_Win64 with no so much problem just about 1 erroneous result every 4 or 5 WU or much more (factor in .xml: n1 w1.2). this has been in a PC with: - AMD Phenom x4 9500 - ATI driver & CCC: 9.9 ()** - XP Pro x64 SP2 MUI Spaniard (ver 05.02.3790.0) - 8 GB (2Gb4) RAM DDR2 - 2 same HD 500 Gb in RAID 1. Yesterday I purchased the GPU: - ATI Radeon HD4770P RV770 Cal version 1.4.403, 512 Mb, 960 GFlops TM: PowerColor - ATI driver & CCC: 9.9 ()* - factor in .xml: n1 w1.2 (and later w1.1) and installed, my surprise was that there was no possible to finish one complete WU, around 20 or 30 and something the infamous ATI windows report error and crash of display during some seconds. (**) please don't tell me to roll back to catalistic 9.2 because I don't know how (what stupid), because uninstalled everything from ATI setup the 9.2 and when installing the GPU driver, windows showing that there is no driver which fits such adapter, no way ----> setup coming back to 9.9. what can I do for this to work again. PS: I've setup the HD3850 in another computer win64 sp2 that previously had an Nvidia 9800, and is working perfectly with Milkyway_win_0.20ati_Win64, and CCC 9.2 (HD3850 device is included in such version) Cheers all, Corsair.
