1) Message boards : Number crunching : Communication delayed: No GPU WUs for HD5870 (Message 53838) Posted 29 Mar 2012 by Skysnake Post: Ok, i looks like i got some GPU WUs. The Problem now is, that i have removed my 5870 with a HD7970 for other tests. The GPU-WUs now donÂ´t start and i get the following message from the Client: 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| No config file found - using defaults 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Starting BOINC client version 7.0.23 for windows_x86_64 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Libraries: libcurl/7.21.6 OpenSSL/1.0.0d zlib/1.2.5 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Running as a daemon 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Data directory: F:\BOINCDATA 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Running under account boinc_master 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Processor: 2 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz [Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10] 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Processor: 6.00 MB cache 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss htt tm pni ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 syscall nx lm vmx smx tm2 pbe 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| OS: Microsoft Windows 7: Professional x64 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.01.7601.00) 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Memory: 4.00 GB physical, 8.00 GB virtual 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Disk: 258.79 GB total, 175.92 GB free 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| Local time is UTC +2 hours 29.03.2012 09:56:01 \| \| No usable GPUs found Can somebody help me?
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Communication delayed: No GPU WUs for HD5870 (Message 53831) Posted 28 Mar 2012 by Skysnake Post: Hi, i want to restart BOINC for some benchmarks of my 7970 vs 5870. I have installed BOINC 7.0.23 because the 6.x.xx donÂ´t work with my win7_64. But i still have the problem, that the 5870 donÂ´t geht work from any project... The CPU get WUs from Primegrid, but also no GPU WUs. Driver is the 12.3 Version. I would be very happy about your help.

5) Message boards : Number crunching : 4 WUÂ´s on an Dualcore at the same time (Message 40826) Posted 6 Jul 2010 by Skysnake Post: Hi, after a while I allow MW again to use the CPU and not only the GPU. Now I see, that I have total 6 aktiv WUÂ´s at the same time, and that on a Dualcore oO 1 MW (GPU) + 4 MW (0,05) CPU + 1 Einstein WU. I donÂ´t think that this is normal. Perhaps somebody have a idea. Perhaps broken WUÂ´s? I hope not.

Please check back in a few hours. When i try it then again the site opens normal.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Down for maintenance? (Message 37505) Posted 18 Mar 2010 by Skysnake Post: If MW takes 1:40 and you have it limited to GPU crunching and a quad core, you can get 6 * 4 WUs @ 1.40 = ~40 minutes of work. So, set your additional network resources to only allow 0.03 days cache and it won't fill several days cache of Collatz when MW is down. Since BOINC processes GPU results in first in, first out order, it will only have to process about 7 Collatz WUs before it switches back to MW when MW comes back online. At least, in theory, that is how BOINC should work. ;-) I only have a E8400, but @3.8 GHz ;), so i just can have work for 20 min. ThatÂ´s not enough. I always wont a bit more work in the cache, so if it give some problems, i have something to do. And also i want to crunch most of the time for MW. Your proposal donÂ´t fix this problem. I would be very happy if i can cache 100 WUÂ´s+. With a 5870 itÂ´s no problem to solve them in time.

(Message 37501) Posted 18 Mar 2010 by Skysnake Post: "90% off my GPU time should be used for MW, so i often just stop Collatz to fetch new work (YES i know not the best way ;) ). So i waste yesterday about 2 hours of GPUtime. Idle sucks :/" skysnake, please excuse the out of place post: maybe I misunderstand, but how are you setting 90% gpu for mw having collatz as another share? I have had no success running collatz with mw in that collatz takes over no matter how I set the sharing. I read that it might be a boinc problem, but whatever it is collatz dictates on my machine if running. that is not happening to you? thanks. NP ;) The problem is very simpel. A MW WU takes about 1:40 and a Collatz WU about 5:40 MW allows 12 WUÂ´s max. Collatz about 20 or more. So i spend allways more time for collatz, because if a WU is uploaded, a new WU is downloaded. Perhaps just chance the preferences should help, but i havenÂ´t try it yet.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Down for maintenance? (Message 37491) Posted 18 Mar 2010 by Skysnake Post: Here we go again with an outage of indefinite length with an information outage as well. And the load shift over to Collatz has the same effect... Collatz seems slow but finished work is getting Uploaded and new work Downloaded on my Box's, very slowly though ... Yes, Collatz hp is down nearly, but you get work and can send work. So the important thinks work ;) I have 20 WUÂ´s like allways. But i also think, that there should be a news with updates on the mainpage! 90% off my GPU time should be used for MW, so i often just stop Collatz to fetch new work (YES i know not the best way ;) ). So i waste yesterday about 2 hours of GPUtime. Idle sucks :/ EDIT: Ok Collatz is down atm ;( no report or new work ;(

13) Message boards : Number crunching : de_14_3s_free_5... shows no progress on 0.20 CPU client (Message 37411) Posted 16 Mar 2010 by Skysnake Post: Hi, banditwolf send me to this topic with my problem. Here the last reply. Ok i have also a strange problem with the WUÂ´s. Should we stop crunching for the moment? Or is it just a problem with the % information? It seems most wu's are fine but a few have errored. It is being discussed here: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=1600. If you are using the optimised app a new one was put out that fixes the % problem. The link is in the same topic. For information, i donÂ´t use any optimiced apps. Always just the offizial apps! Also i have not the problem with all WU`s. Just with a few. I hope this will help you to find the problem.

18) Message boards : Number crunching : no new work for GPU since today (Message 36502) Posted 13 Feb 2010 by Skysnake Post: Hi, since 17.43 oÂ´clock today MW doesnnÂ´t requesting new work for my 5870. I havenÂ´t a idear why. I also run Collatz Conjecture, so if MW have no work or problems, the GPU can do something. Normaly i set CC on "no new work". Somebody a idear, how i can fix the problem?
