21) Message boards : Number crunching : v0.18/v0.19 issues here (Message 14543) Posted 9 Mar 2009 by Temujin Post: - exit code -1072365566 (0xc0150002) I was getting the same error message when I first started. For me, installing both .NET Framework v2.0 and v3.5 did the trick

23) Message boards : Number crunching : ATI help please. (Message 13966) Posted 5 Mar 2009 by Temujin Post: The real danger in that scenario isn't the shock (which is unpleasant enough) but that, in yanking your hand away reflexively, you'll yank it right into the cooling fan or some such. Many many years ago, I used to work in submarines. Lots of very confined spaces. I learnt very quickly to ignore the "move away" reflex as that would normally lead to several more serious injuries. Tom Hanks 2 minute accident in The Money Pit springs to mind :)
24) Message boards : Number crunching : ATI help please. (Message 13792) Posted 3 Mar 2009 by Temujin Post: Also, I would recommend against what is usually listed as the first step: unplugging the computer. That also disconnects it from ground. That's how I always work on computers. Here in UK we have switched wall sockets, so switch it off at the wall but leave it plugged in, then just grab hold of some metal in the case to ground yourself before pulling cards.
25) Message boards : Number crunching : No work (Message 13753) Posted 3 Mar 2009 by Temujin Post: you could use the boinccmd command to issue an update with ./boinccmd --project http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/ update alias that to something easier, say upd_milky with alias upd_milky='~/BOINC/boinccmd --project http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/ update' you'll just need maybe to substitue ~/BOINC with the path to where boinccmd lives on your system
26) Message boards : Number crunching : ATI help please. (Message 13719) Posted 2 Mar 2009 by Temujin Post: In a similar vein - it there is an Nvidia card fitted, and running normal graphics, what would happen if an ATI care is installed on the same PC? Unrelated to the topic, and I apologize, but how does the ATI app function with two different ATI cards installed on a machine? To answer both questions, not very well at the moment, even with an X2 card, see here but it is being worked on, have patience

28) Message boards : Number crunching : GPU crunching question please (Message 12062) Posted 21 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: Hello! Is it possible to crunch with GPU and CPU at the same time and how? Yes, I'm doing it with a Core 2. The GPU takes 0.01 to 0.03 of a core and either one or two other projects also crunch, CPDN and MW. Sometimes CPDN or MW goes into 'Waiting to run' leaving the other to crunch with GPU. I'm not sure why one has this occassional rest. As Ice has said, you can run other CPU projects alongside the GPU MW app. I suspect though that you want to run CPU MW alongside GPU MW. As it comes, the GPU MW app only allows MW to run on the GPU, you would have to edit app_info.xml to allow MW to run on the CPU. I don't know if that's possible or how to do it if it is possible :/
29) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : GPU app teaser (Message 11898) Posted 20 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: 2. I had to install Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 for x64. It didn't like that I had .NET v3.5 installed which I thought was supposed to be an extension to 2.0. It wanted 2.0 as well. I didn't read this line properly. I already had .net framework 2 installed and thought that was all I needed. After numerous re-installs of the catalyst drivers & boinc I realised I should also install .net framework 3.5 After it rebooted all is working :) WOOHOO running 4 WUs at a time with each taking 13 seconds Stunning work Cluster Physik just to recap I needed both .NET Framework V2.0 and V3.5
30) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : GPU app teaser (Message 11869) Posted 20 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: That error normally means that some dll is missing. Most probably the app can't find the brook.dll distributed with the GPU app or one of the CAL libraries normally installed with the latest Catalyst drivers (8.12 or 9.1). Reinstalling the driver may solve the problem. brook.dll is in the projects/milkyway directory along with the app and app_info.xml and I have the 3 amdcal.dll files in windows\system32 btw the cals are the 32bit versions not* the 64bit versions I posted earlier, I copied & pasted from the previous message without noticing that refered to 64bit. I'll download 8.12 again Maybe BOINC just trashes the old WUs and new downloaded ones run fine? This could happen depending on the MW version you was running before changing to the GPU application afraid not, boinc is new to this machine today, specially for the HD4879, hostid 50557. Its set to NNW apart from when I retry after changing something ie reinstall drivers etc edit DOH, the machine is a P4 not a P4D
31) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : GPU app teaser (Message 11861) Posted 20 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: Everyone getting errors should look in the task details and post the stderr output visible there. <core_client_version>6.4.5</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> - exit code -1072365566 (0xc0150002) </message> ]]> hope that helps P4D, winxp32, HD4870, catalyst 8.12
32) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : GPU app teaser (Message 11853) Posted 20 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: Boinc starts up, finds app_info.xml but every MW WU fails with Output file ps_s22_8_93171_1235143844_0_0 for task ps_s22_8_93171_1235143844_0 absent Any idea what I'm doing wrong? This is caused by an incorrect version or a corrupt version of Catalyst. I had the same issue a few posts above and reinstalled 8.12. Thanks Beremat & Slicker for your advice I've downgraded to 8.12 but still get the same errors, have even de-installed & re-installed 8.12 to no avail I'll download it again and have another go :(
33) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : GPU app teaser (Message 11808) Posted 20 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: 1: Boinc 6.4.5 does not "find" CUDA after upgrading.. I am assuming this is OK? 2: Is there a difference between CAT 8.12 and 9.1 ? I can only find 9.1 on the ATI web site. 3: Other than loading the catalyst driver and copying in the MW opti app/xml and brook.dll is there any other special things I need to be made aware of. 4: I am assuming that the brook.dll is copied into the milkyway projects directory as well. 1. Yes, CUDA is for Nvidia cards. 2. 9.1 is known to cause people some issues with performance not of crunching, but of the desktop while crunching. This may or may not have been fixed. 3. Not that I know of. 4. Yep.. Another ATI newbie here :) I've got my hands on a HD4870, installed boinc 6.4.5, catalyst 9.1 drivers and copied the 3 files from the Milkyway_0.19_ATI\Win32_SSE2 directory into projects\milyway... Boinc starts up, finds app_info.xml but every MW WU fails with Output file ps_s22_8_93171_1235143844_0_0 for task ps_s22_8_93171_1235143844_0 absent Any idea what I'm doing wrong? WinXP32 Pro BTW edit I have amdcalcl64.dll amdcaldd64.dll and amdcalrt64.dll in c:\windows\system32
34) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : GPU app teaser (Message 11482) Posted 18 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: Many thanks for that Exar Kun. I have imported your code into zslip.com and tweaked it just a little bit. You should mention cat /proc/cpuinfo for the linux CPU capabilities. Good suggestion Exar Kun and well done Ice for implementing it

36) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : GPU app teaser (Message 11067) Posted 16 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: 25 secs? Blimey, hurry up student :) But that is soooo slooooow compared to the less than 10 seconds on ATIs HD4870 ;) 25 sec is good enough for me, hurry up student :-)

38) Message boards : Number crunching : v0.18/v0.19 issues here (Message 11039) Posted 16 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: The new v0.18 stock app is also significant faster at PPC Macs to: Mac mini G4 1,5 GHz are now at 1:15h from 2:15h in the past. iMac G3 350 MHz now 4:20h vs. 8:15h before - very nice ;) and my T2500 has gone from 47min down to 25min :-)
39) Message boards : Number crunching : 3rd.in - optimized apps (Message 10836) Posted 15 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: Have you tried the evaluation package, I don't think you can publish the build but it can give you some ideas. I've tried the Intel icc evaluation package and couldn't get any significant improvement over the stock OSX application. I could be wrong but I think the imporovements with an icc app come from the use of the IPP libs and while the OSX eval version does come with IPP, I think it must be a cutdown version.
40) Message boards : Number crunching : Little help for those using opti apps. (Message 10397) Posted 12 Feb 2009 by Temujin Post: OK, so where can I obtain an opt app? Ice is kindly hosting all available opti apps here
