Posted 25 Feb 2017 by Claggy Post: It appears that phone doesn't have an android processor, but an Intel processor. Boinc 7.4.x for Android is supposed to work on ARM, AArch64, MIPS, MIPS64, x86, and x86_64, There is no such thing as an android processor!! Android Boinc all downloads Claggy |

Posted 25 Feb 2017 by Claggy Post: Hello, You don't say what version of Boinc you installed, I expect Boinc 7.4.53 You can try Boinc 7.4.43 from the Berkeley site instead, you may need to run though some hoops to get it to install this way, I think Boinc 7.4.53 has some issues with x86 processors.

Controlling number of threads used by BOINC
(Message 75737)
Posted 6 Feb 2017 by Claggy Post: My CPU has 4 cores, each capable of running 2 threads for 8 in total. So a Quad core with hyperthreading, making eight cores total. My BOINC settings regarding this are: You don't say what Boinc version you run, or what website you set your preferences on, the most recent Boinc's and website preferences only have two settings: Computing Usage limits The other setting was for Boinc 5 clients, and is no longer used. And in BOINC manager: Use GPU always. Use the term 'Tasks', Boinc will run enough tasks to occupy all your CPU cores and GPUs, subject to your preferences, and the application's requirements, each application may have more than one thread running, the OS or the app will decide which cores they'll run on, Boinc can run non-intensive applications too, adding to the number of Boinc related threads running, so don't use the term threads unless you're counting them up in Task Manager or the like.

Posted 28 Jun 2016 by Claggy Post: Einstein runs old Boinc server software, it still uses 'Task duration correction factor', while other projects use 'Average processing rate', There is only one DCF per project, so each each different application type from a project bumps the runtime up or down as DCF alters, it can't be very accurate, not without a lot of project fiddling of the different task type's <rsc_fpops_est> values.

Multibrand GPUs BOINC Manager confused
(Message 69077)
Posted 19 Apr 2016 by Claggy Post: Few weeks past, I tried GPUGRID for secondary GPU. As long as I resume GPUGRID, BM stops getting works for Collatz, when I suspend GPUGRID, BM starts getting tasks for Collatz. After restart I get vice versa results, but BM should be controlled manually to get works for both GPUs! The main purpose of BOINC manager is to manage works automatically, instead I need to control it manually. Boinc Manager is the GUI, With it, you view and control what the Boinc Client does, nothing more, What you're effectively saying is (using a example) 'My House is cold, i can't get it lit', when you mean to say is 'My house is cold, i can't get the fire/boiler lit' Claggy |

Posted 30 Aug 2015 by Claggy Post: Use at most N% of the CPUs set to 90% only dropped the number of tasks from 9 to 8. It still won't use more than 20-25% or so. I don't think anything is overworked. It's more like under-worked...? I don't know why. Sounds like an OS side scheduling problem, rather than a Boinc problem, If Boinc starts 7 or 8 CPU tasks, the OS should schedule them across the available CPU cores. Claggy |

Way to set CPU utilization?
(Message 63095)
Posted 17 Jul 2015 by Claggy Post: Thanks, that did the trick. But now I am seeing a weird behavior where the tasks all swap from running to suspended over and over. I think this is because I limited the CPU usage and the UI is showing suspending rather than just sleeping or something. I will let it run this way overnight and see how it performed (and how hot it got). Make sure the CPU limit is set to 100% (Limits the time BOINC uses for computation), if need be run less cores to keep the heat down. Also make sure 'Pause at CPU usage above' is set to 0%, this is most probably why it's shown as suspended, I known the battery limits keep the app in memory, unsure about the other limits, some do, some don't.

Posted 11 Jul 2015 by Claggy Post: Projects that support the Pi are Asteroids and Einstein. Claggy also did a Seti Multi-beam app but you'll need to do some fiddling to get it working. Asteroids have an old app for the original Pi which doesn't have NEON support and work units take too long on the Pi/Pi2 now. Einstein tasks are smaller and their app, if you run an up-to-date BOINC client, will use NEON. If you run the old BOINC client you get the old app which is much slower.

It depends which OS you're running, the usual OS is Raspbian, this is a Debian port, So any projects that have Arm or Armv7 apps on Linux. Claggy |

When I rebooted the PC each time after it shutdown the BOINC program continued to run in the background right up to the time the PC powered off again The Boinc Data directory is never deleted on uninstallation, you can find your logs in C:\ProgramData\BOINC (assuming you're used the default installation location), the logs to look at are stdoutdae.txt and stdoutdae.old Is the PC Blue Screening and Shutting down, Powering down on it's own, Or is Windows Power Saving just putting it to Sleep?

Did you make another directory location, and install Boinc in it, then run that instance with the allow allow multiple client? each instance will need to a have a different host id, etc, so you can't run a client multiple times from the same directory.

limit / control gpu usage via boinc config files / non_gpu coprocessor
(Message 61555)
Posted 12 Apr 2015 by Claggy Post: i tried to get it to work with a cc_config.xml file looking like this: The specify a coprocessor cc_config.xml is only for specifying a Non-Nvidia/ATI/Intel_GPU coprocessor, Boinc can already detect those co-processors, so it is not needed, If you have something like a Parallella, or a Raspberyy Pi, then you could use it to specify the Epiphany co-processor on the Parallella, or the Raspberry Pi's VideoCore IV dual-core GPU, then Boinc could (if there were apps available, and you'd supplied them in app_info's) get work to utilise those co-processors. About limiting GPU usage, you'd have to ask the project application writers how to configure their applications to make them less efficient, or use TThrottle. Edit: I see the wiki wording says 'This mechanism has two purposes: to provide fine-grained control of the coprocessors recognized by BOINC (NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs), and to let you use coprocessors not recognized by BOINC.', I don't see how it can allow fine-grained control of the coprocessors beyond changing the number of tasks run, or the number of devices.

What to do when I find my BOINC client has just shut down?
(Message 61526)
Posted 10 Apr 2015 by Claggy Post: I had another problem with BOINC a month or so ago, in which a particular work unit, listed as being at 100%, wouldn't upload, and in so doing blocked everything else from operating; I solved that problem by suspending that unit - everything else quickly recovered and began running again. Related? I dunno. I can't assess what the state of the program is, I have no idea where the logs are located, I'm completely at sea here. Any suggestions? Does Boinc still have that workunit suspended? If a there are any suspended Wu's for a project Boinc won't ask for work from that project, hence Boinc will run out of work for that project, If you can't get the result to upload, then abort it, it's probably past deadline now anyway.

Over the last few days I have noticed that every night on a few of the machines the BOINC Manager would simply be gone. Yes, they are all running the latest of everything. Boinc Manager is the GUI, you don't need it running, you can happily shut it down without the Boinc client being shutdown. The question is, is that client still running, ie Boinc.exe, Check task manager. You can check the stdoutdae.txt and stdoutdae.old for what's happening, they're in your Boinc Data directory. Claggy |

Posted 1 Mar 2015 by Claggy Post: I've an issue running GPU-WUs from Seti@home on my AMD HD6850 GPU. After a few seconds of work the screen freezes for about 3 seconds, then it blanks for about one second and finally the driver detects that the GPU is not reacting and resets it. After that the processing the WU still consumes GPU time but does not show any progress. The remaining time remains constant. GPU-Z shows a GPU workload of 0%. Stoppping and restarting GPU processing in BOINC repeats the same behavior from the beginning. Catatyst 13.1 has a compiler Bug and doesn't work with the Setiathome_v7 app, doing the compilations on that driver causes the result you observed: ATI Driver Version Cheat Sheet Cat 13.1 has APP runtime 1084.4 compiler Bug. Do not use for SETI@home v7. Update your driver. That is why Seti has plan_classes for post Cat 13.2 drivers, and pre Cat 13.1 drivers, So Setiathome_v7 work isn't sent to hosts running Cat 13.1: Setiathome Applications Windows/x86 7.03 (opencl_ati5_cat132) 30 May 2013, 0:18:19 UTC 4,018 GigaFLOPS Windows/x86 7.03 (opencl_ati5_sah) 30 May 2013, 0:18:19 UTC 393 GigaFLOPS Claggy |

Posted 5 Feb 2015 by Claggy Post: The 7.4.41.apk was built on 22 January, but I'm not familiar with Android distribution channels. It should be in the Google Play app store, and other apps stores. It shows up here as: What's New But I'm attached to the 'BOINC Android Testing' Google Group, so I get the most recent build, regular users get whatever Rom has released to them. Looks as if they get 7.4.39, But only if they are running an Android lower than 5.0: What's New The other alternative is to just monitor the download directory: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ But you'll need to know what the changes are to a particular version, so you get the right version.

"No new tasks" doesn't work for WUProp@home
(Message 59982)
Posted 27 Jan 2015 by Claggy Post: Excuse me, Claggy, but what does that mean? The "changeset"...? A Changeset is a Code change. Is it BOINC programmed to request NCI jobs even if I specify not to do it? No, It's the other way around, Boinc isn't requesting NCI work, But the server's scheduler ignores that Boinc isn't asking for work, and sends NCI work anyway. NCI means non compute intensive, there is no CPU load, or if any, minimal CPU load, why would you want to suspend a NCI project like WUProp@home or Radioactiveathome, If you have a sensor connected shouldn't you keep sending your sensor data?

Posted 26 Jan 2015 by Claggy Post: Hi everyone, How did you 'cancel' the task in progress?, there is no 'cancel' button, you may eithier 'Abort' a workunit, or 'Reset' the project, What does the Event Log say? Does Boinc ask for work? If Boinc doesn't ask for work, the Scheduler shouldn't send it. the exception is projects with older Boinc server software, where 'resend lost tasks' still happens even with NNT set, If you reset the project that task is still allocated to your host, The project may or not resend it depending whether 'resend lost tasks' is enabled, and how new or old it's scheduler is.

BM Not Adhering to app_config.xml Settings for CPU and GPU Usage
(Message 59928)
Posted 22 Jan 2015 by Claggy Post: I recoded the app_config file per the standard but it appears the client continues to use the default cpu and gpu usage values. I am attempting to allow two solo_collatz WUs to run concurrently and reserve one (1) full cpu in support of the gpu WUs. I think you need to double check you're editing the right app_config.xml, and in the right directory, it should be: C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\boinc.thesonntags.com_collatz I took your app_config.xml and made one in my collatz project directory, did a read config, re-enabled Use CPU and ATI/AMD & NV GPUs, made my host only use 4 cores, and grabbed some work from collatz, I'm running two Solo Collatz Conjenture 6.04 (1 CPUs + 0.5 AMD/ATI GPUs) tasks, and one Large Collatz Conjenture (1 CPUs + 1 Nvidia GPU) task, and one Mini Collatz Conjenture 6.04 CPU task, making a total of 4 tasks/cores utilised. increasing the allowed cores from 4 to 6 only started one more Mini Collatz Conjenture 6.04 CPU task, showing that as well as 'Solo Collatz' being limited to two tasks running at once, that Mini Collatz is too.

Switch between applications every X minutes problem
(Message 59587)
Posted 13 Jan 2015 by Claggy Post: I do not want to do exclusively SETI work, but I will be forced back to that condition soon. By any and every measure over an extended timeframe, with work units from both projects on my machine now, BOINC is failing to allow me to donate my computer time as I wish. If I am going to be doing SETI work exclusively, what do I need the BOINC project manager for? Please fix this. As you're repeatily been told on the Seti forum, your cache setting is causing this, you're maxed out your cache setting, got your 200 tasks, Now Boinc needs to fill it's cache, so it gets Asteroids work, lots of it, now the Seti deadlines are all further away, and the Asteroids deadlines are only a few days away, So Boinc has to do the Asteroids work 'Right Now' otherwise it won't meet the deadline, Soon it'll have to do the Seti work otherwise it won't meet deadline, You're been told that adjusting your cache settings to a more reasonable amount will get things running more to your liking, But you won't listen. The only real way of fixing this is for Seti to remove their limits so you actually get your 10 or 20 days of work, or projects not to have real short deadline, so it doesn't have to done 'Right Now' to meet deadline.

I had an email from Rom yesterday asking me to 'Please help us complete the testing of BOINC version 7.4.36.', But unfortuently it's only two days before christmas and i don't have the time to do all the testing in the Matrix for 7.4.36, On the other hand i hoped i would get an acknolgement about my weekend Linux Bug report, even if it was just to say they understood, didn't understand, or knew about it already, But no word, so i'm disinclined to even start running through the 7.4.36 matrix, even if i was local to those machines.

Posted 2 Nov 2014 by Claggy Post: I think as SSDs become more ubiquitous, and until the current SSD write-cycle limitation problem has been resolved, this process is likely to be useful for many people. In my opinion, it would be worth publishing it neatly and concisely in the user manual, perhaps under "Running BOINC: advanced". One problem there, the Debian/Ubuntu Repository Boinc isn't done by Berkeley, it's done by the Debian Boinc Maintainers, using their version of the Boinc source: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-boinc/boinc.git it would be better if you asked them for a method/instructions to move their installation to another drive on their package pages: https://packages.qa.debian.org/b/boinc.html Claggy |

I installed the application and some projects, and have never changed anything other than that which is why I wanted to find out why the number of concurrently-running tasks has been decreasing recently. You're right, I've logged onto a 2nd account of mine, and reset the computing preferences to default (not that I've used that account since seti classic), the default preferences show 'Disk: use at most --- GB (0 means no restriction)' and not a figure. I was also wrong about 0 Gig meaning 0 Gig. Claggy |

Posted 23 Oct 2014 by Claggy Post: This is probably caused by the top entry in the event log not being exactly aligned with the top of the scrolling window. As you gradually enlarge the event log dialog (vertically), blank space slowly grows at the bottom until there's enough room for another complete line to be displayed. But because the top line is a little too low, the bottom line overlaps the bottom margin, but only while there's exactly enough space to display an integer number of lines. Thanks, that is it, I have my Event Log expanded to fill the screen, But not maximised, changing the size of the Event Log screen makes the characters fully visible. Claggy |

Boinc Manager (the GUI) gets these from the Boinc client, which in turn gets these figures from your computing preferences, or if you're using local preferences from those instead. How can I stop this from happening? What do your Boinc Computing preferences say for Disk and memory usage?, Doesn't matter how much space is actually available on the disk, If you're only allowing say 0.001 Gig, then Boinc will only use 0.001 Gig. Increase the amount of usage allowed, and/or reduce the amount of disk that has to be keep free, and/or increase the Disk: use at most figure. Claggy |

Posted 29 Aug 2014 by Claggy Post: The Hamburger for me, On Android 4.1.1 (It's the same on my 2012 Nexus 7 running Android 4.4.4) There's already been a bit of confusion there about this, Rom has already asked: How hard would it be to move the attach to project by URL functionality into the main attach work flow? Joachim Fritzsch answer was: Project that are not in the pre-defined list (e.g. http://ralph.bakerlab.org/) can be attached by: 1. go to projects screen 2. select the three dots on the top right / if you are on Android 2.3.3 or earlier, press the menu button 3. select "add project by URL" 4. enter URL and continue. Thanks for your help! Rom also asked (from Nikolay Saharov): And there is a small suggestion. Is it possible to indicate in Add projects screen which projects already added? Claggy |

(Message 55079)
Posted 24 Jul 2014 by Claggy Post: For OpenCL support on AMD/ATI GPUs you need a HD4*** or later GPU, But for HD4*** GPUs there was only ever Beta OpenCL support, and that support has been deprecated in later drivers meaning a HD5*** or later GPU is required for OpenCL support. Event log tells me form startup: Your host isn't even detecting a CAL GPU, but your host does detect OpenCL support for the CPU, since AMD/ATI also deprecated CAL support for older GPUs, it could be that you have a too recent driver/APP runtime installed, it could also mean that that Boinc can't access the GPU, try reading through the Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/Derivatives - GPU recognition fixes thread. ATI Driver Version Cheat Sheet AMD has this page showing the current supported GPUs: MD5 Checksums, System Requirements & Driver Compatibility You can't find the older SDK's GPU requirements on AMD's site, but this site gives the older GPUs with OpenCL Beta support: AMD APP SDK 2.6 available for download - first glimpse of OpenCL 1.2 [Update] Claggy |

The PrimeGrid entries just say that 0 work units were received. Does it show any OpenCL support? Your snippit is only showing CAL support, most projects have OpenCL ATI apps nowadays, What version of Boinc are you using? Does it even do OpenCL detection? Causes? I've already checked PrimeGrid's computing preferences, so no issues there. Computing preferences is a Global preference, you set it at one project, and it effects all projects, it shouldn't matter which project you set it at, PrimeGrid preferences, note there is no 'computing' in it, is a project specific preference, that is where you select the type of work, and the device type that is allowed to get work, So, did you look at the Computing preferences at primeGrid, or the PrimeGrid preferences, or Both?

Starving the GPU with inadequate CPU resources?
(Message 54241)
Posted 22 May 2014 by Claggy Post: My question is, if I am crunching 3 CPU workunits and using the GPU to crunch a workunit and it only requires, say 0.04% of a CPU, am I starving the GPU of CPU resources by limiting the BOINC client to 75% (or 3 CPUs)? The Setiathome Cuda apps don't require any reserved cores, you should get similar performance when using all CPU core for crunching, it has a config text file called mbcuda.cfg where you can change the thread priority to help maximise performance rather than reserving cores. These workunits usually require 0.04% of a CPU. This is a theoretical amount of CPU usage that gets supplied to Boinc for it's scheduling decisions, add up enough of them (if you're running multiple GPU tasks) and Boinc will run one less CPU task, Claggy |

Posted 18 May 2014 by Claggy Post: I am frequently getting the message ... If you're getting that then your cache is full. I have my Preferences Set to maximum for the Number of Days. And what value is that? Setting it to the maximum is counter productive as many projects have deadlines less than that and you'll end up not getting work because it can't be completed in time, And where have you set that? On a project website's computing preferences page, or locally in Boinc Manager? Please restart Boinc, then post the Boinc startup from the Event log, the first 30 lines or so will do, then can you supply a set of logs with work_fetch_debug enabled. Claggy |

Posted 12 May 2014 by Claggy Post: When I logon into the Pi it says: To update the kernel, modules, sdk etc you do a sudo rpi-update && sudo reboot (assuming you have rpi-update installed), that will update the kernel, modules, sdk, etc, make sure you back your SDCard up before hand, and to not contact any projects between updating and restoring backup, as that will abandon any work received. (scheduler contact seq will no longer line up, the workaround is to edit the client_state.xml and increase the <rpc_seqno> value to one or two above what the project server reports) Claggy |

Posted 21 Apr 2014 by Claggy Post: Not all project apps report progress constantly, Seti AP OpenCL apps only show progress every 0.9%, some of Einstein apps are like that, But have a lot larger increments, they may only report 0%, but are actually somewhat further on and will eventually show progress, Boinc 7.2.38 also introduced a feature where if an app doesn't report any progress done, it'll estimate it instead, that may mean Boinc starts displaying progress, then the app starts reporting progress, Boinc will then switch to it's progress reports (backwards normally) Claggy |

Posted 15 Apr 2014 by Claggy Post: - Did you really mean 7.2.7, or did you mean 7.2.27, or even something else? For Ubuntu and Debian, the repositories have various Boinc versions, I understand the version gets frozen to a version at some point, afterwards there may be an Update version, and maybe a backport, For Saucy Salamander it is frozen at Boinc 7.2.7, for Trusty Tahr it is 7.2.42: “boinc” package in Ubuntu I suggest that he just upgrades his package to the current package for his current OS, if there is a newer version available.

Posted 7 Mar 2014 by Claggy Post: Not sure what in particular you need from the event log, so here's everything: http://pastebin.com/nBaBwuu0 That didn't include the Boinc startup, so it was a waste, it would have told me your OS, your Boinc version, what GPUs you were running, if you had Intel GPU drivers installed, it would have displayed Intel OpenCL support for the CPU, it would have told me your host id's at a few projects, and from that I might be able to see from an application's output whether it detected any other OpenCL devices, that Boinc somehow missed.

Using HD4000 alongside dedicated GPU: Possible to use it exclusively for a project?
(Message 53040)
Posted 7 Mar 2014 by Claggy Post: The solution is to extend the desktop onto the HD4000 (you can try a monitor or a dummy plug, but some have said that is not always 100% reliable), To extend the desktop (assuming Win 7), right click on the desktop, choose 'screen resolution', on the 'screen resolution'/'change the appearance of your display' screen hit the 'Detect' button, now click on each of the not detected displays until you get to the HD4000, now set the 'multiple displays' selection to 'try and connect anyway on: VGA', click apply, now on 'multiple displays' select 'extend these displays', then restart Boinc. To stop Boinc asking for work for the Nvidia GPU at Collatz go into the Collatz project preferences and Deselect 'Use Nvidia GPU', do a project update (with NNT already set), after that Boinc won't ask for Nvidia work. (you have four different venues available to use, so you can tailor different sets of preferences to different hosts) Claggy |

You're upgraded to a driver where the is no CAL support for Bonaire GPUs, there are other Bonaire hosts out there with the same problem at Setiathome, I suppose i could badger Eric to remove the CAL driver requirements for the OpenCL apps as the Setiathome ATI OpenCL apps work fine without CAL support being there, In the meantime you could download the Lunatics installer, and install the Optimised apps, having the apps installed as anonymous platform bypasses the CAL requirement, and you'd get faster CPU apps as well, Claggy |

You have four different locations/venues available to you, ie default, home, school and work, so you can set four different sets of preferences, I'm sure you can allocate your hosts around the venues so you can deselect Use Intel GPU on one of the venues, or doesn't BAM allow that?

Posted 13 Feb 2014 by Claggy Post: Thank you for your response. I am using 7.2.39. & the cache settings are min work buffer .10 day & maximum is .25. Once I updated to that version it reported all tasks. Out of the 10 projects the following 5 have not received any work to do RNA world,drug discovery,climateathome,climate prediction &lhc home. Is there a reason for that? too many projects? buffer size? You won't get work from all your projects all the time, if the project with the highest priority for work gets work it'll likely fill your cache, no need to go and ask for work for the rest of your projects as the cache is already full, It will switch around in time.

Posted 12 Feb 2014 by Claggy Post: You have made far too much projects active. This way there is a big chance your computer will never finish a work unit (wu) before expiration date. There is no problem with having a lot of projects as long as you don't run massive cache settings, Boinc will only get enough work to satisfy those settings, something like 1 + 0 should be suitable (assuming Boinc 7.x.x) if any work is likely to be late, then Boinc will switch to doing those tasks first (aka High Priority mode, this just means they are before other tasks, there is no priority change), if anyone is daft enough to try and run a 10 day cache with projects with deadlines with only a few days then of cause Boinc might run into problems, but that is a operator/project misconfiguration problem rather than a problem with Boinc.

(Message 52509)
Posted 12 Feb 2014 by Claggy Post: What are your cache settings in number of days? (both settings), and which Boinc version? There are two cache settings measured in number of days, the first is the minimum amount, It also specifies how many days days of internet loss you're going to have, meaning any work has to be done that many days before deadline too, So a 5 day setting means you'll take 5 days to get around to the bottom of the cache, and you're got to report it 5 days early, not a problem for a project with a 30 day deadline, but it is with a project with a 3 day deadline, do the maths on that one, you're got to report the work before it's sent, the second setting is the maximum amount, Boinc 7 will first ask for the minimum plus maximum amount, then won't ask for work again until the amount of work in the cache drops below the minimum amount, so a very small should be used otherwise there will be a delay in reporting/asking for work.

Posted 18 Dec 2013 by Claggy Post: If you look in the wiki under Client configuration you have these options for ignoring GPUs: <ignore_ati_dev>N</ignore_ati_dev> There is also an option of Excluding GPUs from a particular project (maybe there is a project that doesn't cause lag): <exclude_gpu> While you are at it, you should upgrade Boinc to the Recommended version, presently 7.2.33, Boinc 7.2.7 was an Alpha release, there will be various elements in it that won't work correctly as the Bugs hadn't been found or fixed yet.

Feeder Not Running
(Message 51734)
Posted 15 Dec 2013 by Claggy Post: That's a server issue, not your BOINC client. You just have to wait until the project staff correct the issue. But since the rest of us can contact the server and get work without getting a message that the feeder isn't running, it is a client problem. @Jon Dunn, In Boinc Manager, if you go to the projects tab, select setiathome, then properties, what does the Master url say? It should be http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ Claggy |

This thread is about a work fetch problem when using an app_info and GPU exclusions, I think it's also been fixed. You also should ask that at the project in question, this is the Boinc Message Boards, it isn't Seti. The answer is the feeder isn't running, so they can't supply work, since fixed. Claggy |

I am heading to Radio Shack in the morning for the parts to make a dummy plug.The other option is to just extend the desktop onto the HD4000, telling it to use 'display device on VGA', i've used this on my Nvidia/ATI hosts for years, whether this works on Intel GPUs is another matter, my Nvidia/Intel host is a Laptop with only one display, both GPUs are are almost always available, no extending desktops or dummy plugs required here.

Posted 16 Oct 2013 by Claggy Post: My backup machine is an AMD FX-6100, Win XP Pro SP-3, 8GB mem, GTX460, 64GB SSD, BOINC 7.0.64 (x86). It gets, processes and returns work units fine, BUT, it gives me an error message 'Windows cannot find "http://www.enigmaathome.net/" ' (as well as for all my other projects: Seti, Einstein, Milkway, even BOINC Web Site). I've checked all the failed internet addresses against those listed in my Event Log and they are all spelled exactly the same. Whenever I press any of the buttons under "Project web pages" or the top 3 buttons under "Help" BIONC also fails in exactly the same way. The bottom button under "Help" is "About BOINC Mgr" and it works probably because it does not have to go out to the internet. Sounds as if the firewall is blocking Boinc Manager from accessing the internet, or Boinc Manager can't find the default Browser, the Boinc client has no problem and is still asking for work (at least from Enigma@Home): All tasks for computer 76857 For your info, Boinc is installed in two locations, the Boinc program files location where all the Boinc files are installed, the Client, the Manager, etc, and the Boinc Data directory where all the user files, project files and project apps reside, Then I created a new BOINC2 folder and installed BOINC Mgr 7.0.64 (x86) into it 10/16/2013 7:38:39 AM | | Data directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC2 In the above two entries you're said you're created a separate Boinc Data directory called BOINC2 and installed the Boinc Manager (*) to it, this isn't advisable as they are separate for (Windows) security reasons, (if you tried to set the Boinc Data directory location to the Boinc program files directory, you'd find none of the project apps would be able to run correctly because of the restricted rights in the Program files directory), and i'm not sure if the first statement is even true, perhaps you're only created a new Boinc Data directory, and that all the Boinc program files are still installed to the Boinc program files directory. * Boinc is made up of a number of parts, the Boinc client (boinc.exe), Boinc Manager (the GUI) (boincmgr.exe) as well as the boinccmd command-line tool (boinccmd.exe), the Boinc tray program (the keyboard/mouse idle detection program) (boinctray.exe), etc, saying you're only installed Boinc Manager to it is odd, rather that you're installed Boinc to BOINC2 Claggy |

Posted 3 Sep 2013 by Claggy Post: A word of warning about Boinc 7, with the new schedulers in it, cache operation now works differently, Boinc 7 uses the cache settings as a Minimum and a Maximum Buffer, it'll fill to a Minimum plus Maximum level, then wait for the amount of work to drop to below the Minimum level before asking for work again, for a consistent cache set the first cache setting to the amount of days work you want to cache, and the second cache setting to a very low value, something like 0.1, If you use the cache settings you probably had from Boinc 6 you'll find the amount of work cached will vary a lot.

Incorrect Nvidia GPU Detection and Count
(Message 49819)
Posted 8 Jul 2013 by Claggy Post: Not entirely true. Around 2 years ago i had this same issue. My GPUs were 2 GTX 590s and 1 GTX 460. It was being reported that i had 5 GTX 460s. Definitely not the best GPU in the system. The GTX 460 was in the first PCIe slot though and i assumed that's what caused it then, being in the primary position. Also, it was the only GPU with a monitor attached. However this time, the GTX 560 is in the first slot, and again is the only GPU with a monitor attached. The Titan is in the last. Boinc works out what is best in the following order: BOINC decides which GPU is best based on these factors, in decreasing priority): http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=7899&postid=45886 So in that respect, a GTX460 with compute capability 2.1 is better than a GTX590 with compute capability 2.0 Claggy |

Posted 23 Jun 2013 by Claggy Post: GIGABYTE EP45-UD3P; Rev 1.1 Boinc concists of the Boinc client, Boinc Manager (the GUI) and the Boinctray (the idle detection program), normally you can only run one client, the <allow_multiple_clients>0</allow_multiple_clients> cc_config option allows you to run extra clients, which allows you to configure them differently, say running a pre-Fermi GPU on one and a post-Fermi GPU on the other. According to the log file, BOINC detects both GPUs but doesn't use them. I realize I'm telling BOINC not to use the 1st one. AMD/ATI OpenCL support for XP has been deprecated, the last driver with OpenCL support was Cat 12.1, running later drivers than that either causes OpenCL not to be detected, or in some cases causes the host to Blue screen: ATI Driver Version Cheat Sheet I'd say that there is a problem with Boinc detecting the correct OpenCL platforms and is giving up, does GPUCapsVieiwer detect any other OpenCL Platforms or devices?

What does "Authorization failure: -155" mean?
(Message 49350)
Posted 26 May 2013 by Claggy Post: How do I know which directory is boinc-client launched from? What OS is this on? On Windows it will be from C:\Program Files\BOINC or C:\Program Files (x86)\BOINC depending if you're using 32bit or 64bit Boinc, or a 32bit Boinc on a 64bit OS. Boinc on Windows has a separate Data directory, i believe Linux runs from the same directory location as the Data directory, so it should be similar to what is posted in it's Startup log (assuming you can run the manager to see it in the first place), it should be eithier /var/lib/boinc-client or /home/your_user_name depending if you got Boinc from one of the Linux repositories or from here.

I doubt that, the first post here is from 2002, and the first users all joined in 2005, while the first Boinc projects date from 2005 and 2004, with Boinc Beta a bit before that, so really you can only have been involved in Boinc for about 10 or 11 years Max, while your join date here is 29 May 08, that is only 5 years ago.

Unable to connect to localhost after installing 7.0.64
(Message 49043)
Posted 8 May 2013 by Claggy Post: Since I was getting nowhere with 7.0.64(x64), I decided to re-install 7.0.28(x64) on May 5 and let it crunch until the Tuesday outage. At least the system was being productive. After everything had processed, uploaded and been reported, I tried installing 7.0.64(x64) once again and was still getting the "connecting to localhost" problem message. Remembering that some of the features that are in 7.0.64 began in version 7.0.40, I thought I'd install it even though it is buggy just to see what would happen. Lo and behold, 7.0.40(x64) immediately connected to localhost. At no time during this did I download any WUs. I then tried installing 7.0.41 and 7.0.42 with the same result. BOINC 7.0.43(x64) was stuck at "connecting to localhost" (just like 7.0.64) for several minutes until I killed it. Loads of things changed between 7.0.42 and 7.0.43: BOINC 7.0 Change Log and news The first changeset's i'd suspect are: client: disable remote access if So i'd try removing the gui_rpc_auth.cfg from the Boinc Data directory as see if you can connect, (you shouldn't be able to) then try putting a fresh one in there with at least some text in there (it's normally 32 characters), (keep your original one safe) Claggy |

At present there is a limit of 100 CPU tasks and 100 GPU tasks in progress at Seti, if you're at the limits, then any other project will fill up your cache: Continued server problems.

Posted 1 Mar 2013 by Claggy Post: Ahh I see it now. LHC and climateprediction have no new tasks for Asteroids download so quickly, they're out of the transfers tab before I know it. Which leaves two questions: 1) There is only a 100 Mbits/sec link for downloads/uploads/scheduler use at Seti, the link is almost always has well over 100 Mbits/sec of downloads on it, probably up to 500 Mbits/sec when Short AR Multibeam work is in the majority, this won't improve until a) Setiathome v7 is released, b) the project gets enough donations to cover their server needs, and then cover the probably $100K cost of putting a new fiber link in, c) or they move their servers off the hill.

Preferences when to use GPU - problem
(Message 47984)
Posted 28 Feb 2013 by Claggy Post: edit: disallowing GPU entirely is done via the Activity menu in BOINC Manager, or permanently via an option to be added to the cc_config.xml. Maybe there are other ways, but these sprung up from recollection. Disallowing GPU activity in the Activity menu won't stop Boinc asking for GPU work, any work received would sit in Limbo and never get crunched, (and the project would have to resend it to other hosts) To stop getting GPU work you can also set 'Use Nvidia GPU' or 'Use ATI/AMD GPU' to No at each of your projects, Boinc then would then never ask for GPU work from any of those projects again, Claggy |

BOINC will not use all GPUs
(Message 47624)
Posted 3 Feb 2013 by Claggy Post: I got GTX690, working nicely in SLI mode. But, BOINC will not use second GPU. Part of the problem is you're running a Boinc with the Nvidia Wacky GPU memory reporting Bug, because of the difference in available memory, only the GPU with the most available is used, there is a partial fix in Boinc 7.0.36, and a full fix in Boinc 7.0.38 (that shouldn't be used because of other problems), just using <use_all_gpus> in a cc_config.xml should override that, you could try the latest Alpha, which is at the time of writing Boinc 7.0.47, If that doesn't enable both GPUs, then you'll eithier need to disable SLI, or try different drivers, Nvidia did change the drivers some time ago so turning off SLI wasn't required, but this was on older GPUs, i don't think this was a change in Boinc itself.

Your problem is different to Seal's, his host wouldn't Upload results World Community Grid Full Stop, yours aren't reporting, most likely because of your Cache settings: Boinc 7 has a scheduler that works differently to the scheduler in Boinc 6, it will cache work totalling the Min and the Max Buffers, then wait the amount of work available to drop below the Min Buffer before asking again, the solution is to have the 'Additional' Cache setting set to a very low value, then Boinc will ask more often.

(Message 46974)
Posted 1 Jan 2013 by Claggy Post: Best to ask at those projects, just because you're attached to them all doesn't mean you'll have work from all of them at the same time, Boinc 7 will fetch work from the projects which has the highest priority, and may not not even try and ask for work from others Also, those projects may have no work to give out, or may be down, ie: CPDN has no work to give out: CPDN Server status Setiathome's scheduler has since 02:45:00 UTC been not replying to scheduler requests so is effectively down: Panic Mode On (80) Server Problems? The other projects may have no work, or may be down. Claggy |

Posted 1 Jan 2013 by Claggy Post: Try highlighting those downloads and press 'Retry now', you might have to do this a few times, (Seti has two download servers, they use roundrobin DNS which switches servers every 5 minutes, but it doesn't work that well, one download server is over utilsed while the other is under utilised} by waiting a few minutes, Suspending Network Activity for a few moments, then resetting Network activity to where it was before, can get the downloads going from the other server, your mileage may vary as they say.

tasks not stopping on exit from boinc
(Message 46896)
Posted 22 Dec 2012 by Claggy Post: Greetings. Which OS? Which Boinc version, is Boinc 6.10.x, 6.12.x or one of the latest Boinc 7.0.x versions? How did you install Boinc?, was it a 'Protected Application Execution' installation (aka a Service Installation), or a Normal Installation? on a Service Installation, the client runs all the time, even when no one is logged on, to get out of that you'd have to stop the service, uninstall Boinc, Reboot i think, then reinstall Boinc, but go into the Advanced menu and don't tick the 'Protected Application Execution' installation box. Or did you just exit Boinc Manager (the GUI), while leaving the Boinc client running? is boinc.exe still running in task manager (assuming you're running a normal installation) Do you get a 'Boinc Manager - Exit Confirmation' box on trying to exit Boinc? If not, go to 'Tools>Options' (assuming Boinc 6.12.x or 7.0.x), or 'Advanced>Options' (assuming Boinc 6.10.x), Make sure both 'Run Manager at login?' and 'Show Boinc Manager exit dialog?' are ticked, Now try and exit Boinc Manager, If you want to fully exit Boinc Manager and the Boinc client, tick the 'Stop running tasks when exiting the Boinc Manager', tick the 'remember this decision' box to not show the dialog again.

Temperature problem with running PC unattended.
(Message 46892)
Posted 22 Dec 2012 by Claggy Post: The problem is that when returning back to the PC a little later on, I find it to have power been turned off - mains is still connected on the motherboard. A small movement of the mouse is enough to get the system started up once again. It tells me that the system is locked and that I have to log in again. After that I am able to return directly back to BOINC. On a new Windows install it is configured to put the machine to sleep after someting like half an hour, running Boinc isn't enough to keep it awake, you'll need to change to a different power plan, and maybe edit that to your preference, Claggy |

Question regarding Radeon HD 5450
(Message 45765)
Posted 24 Sep 2012 by Claggy Post: Also possible that one just needs the AMD Stream SDK installed in order for the CAL detection to work.That might be true. My XP3200+/AGP_HD4650/PCI_8400GS is stuck on Cat 11.1 drivers, AGP drivers after that stuck the resolution at 640*480 and 4bit colour, once that was fixed and i could install a driver properly, then Boinc wouldn't detect the HD4650 anymore, i suppose the lack of an SSE2 processor stopped the SDK runtime getting installed, when i have a free moment i'll try Cat 12.1 and see what is installed, and whether Boinc detects the HD4650.

So what other projects is that host attached to? If LHC@home 1.0, Cosmology@Home and Einstein@Home aren't highest priority, then that must mean another project is highest priority, is it eithier set to No New Tasks, Suspended, or asking for work and not getting any?

Posted 18 Sep 2012 by Claggy Post: Claggy Boinc 7.0.36 is basically an Alpha build at the moment, so doesn't show on the downloads yet, But the links have been posted in the BOINC 7 Change Log and news thread, One thing to note is that the internal flops figure for the GPU has been increased by 10 times, because of this existing GPU work will all be on the edge of erroring out with maximum time exceeded, so your Cache should be run down of all GPU work prior to upgrading to Boinc 7.0.33 or later, you can do this by eithier setting NNT at all your GPU projects, or unsetting Use Nvidia GPU or Use ATI GPU at all your GPU projects, Once you're run your GPU cache down, upgraded to Boinc 7.0.36, you can then re-enabled work fetch again, Claggy |

(Message 45426)
Posted 24 Aug 2012 by Claggy Post: Yeah, that's what it looks like for me too. Plus the project option to stop accepting work items doesn't do anything - BOINC keeps accepting new work items (though the menu does change to show the opposite option "allow new work items" or whatever it's called). Plus if I try to quit the BOINC Manager it just doesn't want to die, I have to kill it with fire. And then I have to kill the worker threads with sudo killall -u boinc. Setting 'No New Tasks' doesn't stop Boinc from accepting new work, what it does is stop Boinc from 'asking' for new work, if you don't ask for work, you shouldn't get it, But, Projects with older Boinc Server software like Einstein (you don't say whih project this is on) that have 'resend lost tasks' enabled, will resend the lost tasks even when you haven't asked for work, later revisions of the Boinc server software will only resend lost tasks if Boinc asks for it in the first place, Claggy |

Can i just bung a card into the 4x slot and boinc will use it's GPU even if i don't put a monitor on it. You'll have to do a few things before Boinc will see the 2nd GPU, 1st, install the drivers be it Nvidia or ATI, 2nd, Connect a Monitor, a Dummy Plug or Extend the Desktop onto the 2nd Display, 3rd, Now fire up Boinc, hopefully Boinc will now detect Both GPU's, If the GPU's are from the same Vendor, But different, Boinc will only use the most capable, so: 4th, if needed, make a cc_config.xml (using Notepad) with the following in it, drop it in your Boinc Data Directory (the location is in your startup messages, and is a hidden folder) and restart Boinc: <cc_config> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config> Claggy |

Posted 14 Jan 2012 by Claggy Post: I think I've followed the example as far as I can BUT I don't seem to be able to connect to the 2nd BOINC client using the BOINCMgr. I have attempted to connect to the 2nd client using the advanced/select computer/host name/password mechanism using computer name "localhost:9999" and the password created vis notepad in gui_rpc_auth.cfg but keep getting attached back to the orig BOINC client. This is true even if I put the " <allow_multiple_clients>1</allow_multiple_clients>" line in cc_config.xml ... any ideas on how to do the connect?? Since i've still got my 2nd Boinc Installation backed up on a USB Stick (The Hardrive failed a bit later taking out that host's Win 7 installation), i've been looking through it, The one thing i haven't seen mentioned is the setting up of remote_hosts.cfg with the host details, the host i was using the 2nd Boinc Installation was known as P5N-E-SLI, so that was what went in there. I'm thinking of fitting a third GPU (only a PCI GT430) in my i7-2600K/GTX460/HD5770 host this weekend, and this time just attach it to Seti Beta, since at the moment i have no Seti Beta tasks, so i can't loose any.

Feature request - task control
(Message 41043)
Posted 7 Nov 2011 by Claggy Post: Hard to believe, but maybe we're talking different things. There was a time that suspending tasks were not counted for the cache and that's been gone a very long time. If suspending tasks, when technically the cache is full, then fetching work from other projects to exceed the total value of cache, I'd be surprised. I've had a task for longer in suspend [the last task], not the project, and BT tells me the sum of all work is still what I've got set, and never requesting more unless that projected total [of all projects] drops below the set value. Same observation for 6.10 and 6.12. I'm sure that suspended projects/tasks aren't counted towards the cache (in Boinc 6.10.58 and 6.12.41), i tend to get a small stash of CPDN tasks for a rainy day, then suspend them all but one, and fill up with tasks from Seti and Seti Beta, i've been caught out a few times when i've not had NNT set at a project, and i've suspended another project, and suddenly had extra work that i hadn't intended to get.

Posted 27 Sep 2011 by Claggy Post: Collatz went 'vapor' about 8AM PDT this morning. Possibly local power outage or ISP problem. At a guess, he'll not be able to resolve matters until this afternoon when he gets back on site. Seems Collatz had a planned outage: The project will be down this morning starting around 9 or 9:30am while a new electrical circuit is added but should be back up within a few hours. and it took longer than expected: Sorry it took longer than expected. Everything should be back up and running now. Claggy |

Posted 25 Jul 2011 by Claggy Post: So does that mean you're NOT running any ATI GPU science apps? I suspect you're probably running the Milkyway ATI 0.82 (ati14) science app, i'd recommend not running screensavers at the same time as running GPU science apps, they compete for resources, The drivers for the HD6970 aren't quite right yet, Other HD6970 users report problems with drivers after Cat 11.2, the problems will supposeably be fixed in Cat 11.8, If your GPU temps are too high, you can switch to Manual Fan Control in CCC, on the Performance page, enable AMD Overdrive (leave the clocks as they are), then enable Manual Fan Control, then Bump the Speed up higher, my HD5770 is set at 70%, this gives temps of ~60°C (Your mileage may vary) Claggy |

Posted 4 Jun 2011 by Claggy Post: Hum, saying you have the latest release of Boinc means different things to different people, what actual number is that? 32bit or 64bit Boinc? Have you got a GPU?, was it involved in crunching on a different project while you were also running a project screensaver on it? Probably better to ask on the CPDN forums about their screensaver first through, Claggy |

(Message 38114)
Posted 1 Jun 2011 by Claggy Post: When i ran collatz only on my E8500/GTX460/HD5770 machine's GPU's (last year using Boinc 6.10.58), i did tend to find it biased one way or other, then it would meet the Wu limits in place, so no more Wu's until i completed one, when i lowered the cache enough, then it steadied out 50/50 Nvidia/ATI, so it was cache limited instead of limited by total number of Wu's, Claggy |

Posted 29 May 2011 by Claggy Post: I've been suffering this problem since Boinc 6.12.16, in my case it's only the Collatz Cuda app that remains running after Boinc is shut down, I did report it to the Boinc Alpha list on the 7th March, but no one else replicated it at the time, and i did tell the developers 6.12.15 worked properly, it has only been in the last week that anyone else has replicated it, Peter Slacik has reported see it with the Collatz Cuda app (on the Boinc Alpha list), Yesterday Miep and Arkayn reported seeing it with the Collatz Cuda app too (in a Lunatics Development thread) and now Sirus B and Grill have reported here about the same problem, Sirus B also seeing it with CPU Freehal, I suspect it's changeset [trac]changeset:23093[/trac] that has caused it, Boinc used to kill the app after 5 seconds, now it waits 15 seconds, but before that 15 seconds is up, Boinc has already shut down, leaving apps still running. That changeset was in response to another Bug i reported, when Boinc 6.12.x puts Collatz Cuda tasks into High Priority, and a new Collatz Cuda task starts, the freshly started Collatz task errors out with not enough GPU memory available because the last Collatz Cuda task hasn't quite finished yet, and so hasn't freed the GPU memory, Claggy |

Posted 28 May 2011 by Claggy Post: First thing i would try is try the 268.58 drivers, there are downclocking problems with 27x.x Cuda4 drivers in conjunction with legacy Cuda apps, see this post: This problem has recently been drawn to the attention of the SETI CUDA developers, and is in the process of being reported onwards to other CUDA-enabled BOINC projects. It seems to be related specifically to the release of nVidia drivers which will support the forthcoming v4 release of the CUDA run-time support files. The central BOINC library code isn't yet fully compatible with CUDA v4: the problem has been overcome with test programs, and should go away with the next round of application releases. Claggy |

If you think your core temperatures are going up too high, isn't it a better idea to take the side off you computer and clear out the dust bunnies? if the cores still run too hot when the science apps are running, try an after market cooler, good ones are so much more effiecient than the Stock coolers.

Posted 1 Mar 2011 by Claggy Post: Tasks running conventional ATI and Nvidia applications (non-OpenCL) do not have graphics, since you're using the GPU for calculations. With OpenCL there is the possibility to do graphics at the same time, yet because most projects who use OpenCL applications have their apps done by 3rd party people (people who run the project for a gazillion credits a second), they don't release the graphics app as it slows down the calculations and thus their need to receive the gazillion credits a second. Einstein's Cuda apps do use their screensaver app, probably helps that their Cuda GPU app only loads the GPU to 60%, plenty of time left to run Graphics, Claggy |

Feature request: Make EDF mode Hyper-threading aware
(Message 36938)
Posted 20 Feb 2011 by Claggy Post: You are missing the point of the point I made, but pointless to explain ;-) also Collatz's Boinc Server needed to send the Stock 64bit app to Jesse's host, and not the 32bit non-SSE app, which is probably almost half the speed of the 64bit app, Slicker has in the last day changed things so 64bit hosts only get 64bit apps, Since the collatz Wu is now a 3,000 Credit Wu, the CPU apps were going to be hard pressed to finish in time anyway, Slicker has since then deprecated the CPU apps for the collatz application, and CPU's can only now get Wu's for the mini_collatz application, Claggy |

Feature request: Make EDF mode Hyper-threading aware
(Message 36870)
Posted 15 Feb 2011 by Claggy Post: I am having tasks run in EDF mode not due to AQUA@home, but due to Collatz. It sent me a non-SSE application to my Core i7 980X which has SSE (because AMD included it in its definition of AMD64 which Intel copied) even though an SSE-optimized application is available, has set the deadline to a way too short time for the non-SSE application, and has given BOINC a way-too-short estimated time to complete. I am sure that the deadline would be easily met if it had correctly sent me the SSE application. I mentioned AQUA@home as a corner case that if not accounted for could fail to run under my proposed change. Slicker already replied to you at Collatz in this message, the non SSE_x64 app and the SSE_x64 app are the same app: There is only one 64-bit app which is the stock app. Because it is x64, it automatically uses x86 intrinsics/assembler and 64-bit integers. The 32-bit SSE app is needed to differentiate between a non-x86 box (e.g. ppc64) which can't use the x64 intrinsics which speed up 64-bit emulation on the 32-bit platform. SSE isn't actually used at all in the app since it doesn't do any floating point math. If your computer is running the 64-bit app, that's as fast as it is going to get. The "SSE" version of the 64-bit apps is a COPY of the non-SSE version since ALL 64-bit versions support not only SSE but also SSE2. It isn't the SSE that speeds it up, but rather being able to use 64-bit integers natively or, on the 32-bit platform, being able to use x86 intrinsics in order to emulate 64-bit integers faster than using straight C code which is required on older 32-bit MACs running on PowerPC (and maybe PS3 boxes if I ever get around to trying to cross-compile for that as well). Slicker has recently made the collatz Workunit 4 times the size as before, so now takes 4 times as long, (this is aimed at GPU's taking less than 10 mins with the old collatz Wu size), and his introduced a mini_collatz Wu that takes half the time of the old collatz Wu, (this is aimed at CPU's and slow GPU's like my 8400M GS), but has reduced the time allowed for both sizes of Wu, But there is no way of setting your preferences to restict the CPU to only doing mini_collatz, (without an app_info) Also introduced at the same time is new Boinc server software, once each app has completed 10 validations, the Server will scale the <rsc_fpops_est> for each new Wu for that app, (your host) meaning over time the predicted runtimes of your ATI and CPU Wu's will improve, You're got a couple of choices, eithier restrict your PC to doing mini_collatz only, stop your CPU doing any Collatz tasks, or do nothing and wait for the Server to scale for your CPU apps, or make an app_info with only mini_collatz for the CPU, and collatz and mini_collatz for the GPU, Claggy |

Because I value more highly some of the biological research platformed on BOINC, I would prefer to run Collatz on the GPU only, while simultaneously (not switched) running a project like Rosetta@home on the CPU cores, as Rosetta does not run on this GPU. Just go to your Collatz Preferences and set use CPU to No: Use CPU No (enforced by 6.10+ clients) You have four differerent venues (at each project) so you can set different sets of computers to do different combinations of work.

Posted 25 Nov 2010 by Claggy Post: hello, I have the Catalyst 10.2 and forceware 260.99 but I have several crash problems with the latest games (need for speed, cod, etc.), so I urgently need to update the catalyst. You assured me that renaming aticfx32.dll and aticfx64.dll, boinc will elaborate and the games will not crash? Because I do not want unnecessary problems with drivers... No, renaming aticfx32.dll and aticfx64.dll might allow you to use the ATI GPU with Boinc, so it detects the ATI GPU correctly, and/or doesn't trash it's work, Side effects seem to be it removes DirectX support from the ATI GPU, and Aero effects across both GPU's, If you need to update your Catalyst drivers to a more recent version, do so, but you may need to disable ATI GPU use in Boinc, eithier by deselecting at your ATI projects: Use ATI GPU if present yes (enforced by 6.10+ clients) or making a cc_config.xml with the following in it: <cc_config> <options> <ignore_ati_dev>N</ignore_ati_dev> </options> </cc_config> Where N is the ATI device no, 0 if you only have one ATI device.

Posted 17 Nov 2010 by Claggy Post: What you could do is switch to Anonymous platform at Collatz, then you could use the command parameters to reduce the load on the GPU, (i used them to increase the load, but it made my display too laggy, so reduced them a bit) the default parameters are <cmdline>L5 I8 S1</cmdline>, while for GPU's with poor responce the recommended is: <cmdline>L3 I5 S1</cmdline> i'm running <cmdline>L10 I7 S1</cmdline> Claggy Edit: the other good thing about using Anonymous platform is it overides the GPU memory restriction, so you can get work, then as long as your GPU still has enough Ram available to run the app, it'll work. |

Reusing old hardware
(Message 34963)
Posted 26 Sep 2010 by Claggy Post: Wondering what the best O/S would be for running BOINC on old hardware? A while ago there was mention of running it from a USB drive, but don't know if that included the O/S. I'd say Dotsch/UX: Dotsch/UX - A USB/Diskless/Harddisk BOINC Ubuntu Linux Distribution Dotsch/UX a Linux distribution, based on Ubuntu Linux. The purpose is to make a Linux distribution for BOINC which boots as Live CD, easily installs and boot from a USB stick, hard disk and from diskless clients and also has some interfaces to setup the diskless server and the clients automatically. Features & Facts : • Small memory usage : The OS requires about 64 MB plus the memory for the BOINC client and BOINC science application. The graphical GNOME desktop requires about 128 MB more. In general the memory depends strongly on the project(s) you would like to crunch... Recommended minimum 128 MB for diskless, HDD and USB Stick based systems and 256 MB for disksless servers. Strongly recommended >256 MB for text console only, >512 MB with Desktop, and additional 128 MB more for a diskless server system • Small disk usage : The distribution fits on a 1 GB USB stick, but 2 GB would be good for multi BOINC project crunching. The HDD installation requires about 2.5 GB, and the diskless server requires 1.5..1.7 GB per architecture plus 1.5...1.7 GB for each diskless client you would add. • Easy installation : The OS could be easily installed by several included tools on a USB stick, hard disk, and setup as server for diskless clients. • Server for Diskless clients : The server and diskless clients could easily installed with several included tools. Only the main configuration parameters must be specified, the diskless server and clients installs automatically. • Additional proxy server : Preconfigured proxy server, which allows to separate the BOINC USB, diskless and HDD systems in an isolated network, and communicate through the proxy server with the science project servers • Ubuntu based : As Dotsch/UX is based on Ubuntu, you can also install additional Ubuntu packages or update to your USB/HDD/Diskless systems. Also the Ubuntu documentation, WIKIs and forums are adaptive due the technical adjacency of Dotsch/UX and Ubuntu. • BOINC Client : The BOINC client comes pre installed and would be started as daemon and would be monitored and kept alive from this daemon. Dotsch/UX 1.0 includes the BOINC client 6.2.15. Dotsch/UX 1.1 includes the BOINC client 6.4.5 for CUDA support and Dotsch/UX 1.2 includes version 6.10.17. • Graphical Desktop and text console : If you like, you can choose between the text console (for lower memory requirements) or the graphical GNOME Desktop. • SSH : ssh login per default preconfigured. • 32+64 bit distribution : A distribution of 32 bit (386) and 64 bit (x64) is available. Since Dotsch/UX 1.1 it‘s possible to add mixed 32 and 64 bit diskless clients on the same diskless server. • CUDA : Since Dotsch/UX 1.2, the NVIDIA CUDA drivers are included and preconfigured by default. A CUDA installer is also included to reinstall CUDA, if it would been required. A CUDA installation state tools is included, too. • Integrated Backup : A Client/Server Backup solution to backup all Dotsch/UX systems over a network is included since release 1.2. Also Backups to a local destination is also possible. • Performance Monitoring : The HPC/HA Cluster Grid Client/Server performance monitoring tool Ganglia was introduced in 1.2. • Live CD persistent home directory : A USB stick or disk can be configured in the Live CD as persistent home directory. All data in the home directory would been stored on the USB stick • Reduced energy : A hard disk drive requires about 5 to 10 W energy. Calculated for a permanent running system (365 days) and 0,20 Euro/KW per hour, each removed HDD saves about 44 KWh..88 KWh per year = 8...17 Euro per year. A USB stick uses about 0,1..0,9 Watt = 0,8...7 KWh per year => 0,2...1,75 Euro costs per year. For a diskless installation it depends on the setup. Breakthrough is reached, when more diskless clients are installed, than hard disks in the diskless server are used. Available from Dotsch's Site: Dotsch/UX Claggy |

Posted 22 Sep 2010 by Claggy Post: free, not available to BOINC: 32.9GB Then some other program is reserving that 32.9GB, Check the OS for page file size again, and check any other program that might reserve HD space for it's operation. You can always uninstall Boinc, move your Boinc Data directory to your other drive, then reinstall Boinc, pointing it to the New Data location, and see what happens then. Claggy |

Posted 21 Sep 2010 by Claggy Post: Hello. I'm just posting to reiterate the bug. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with Boinc 6.10.17 and the only way it recognizes user input is 1) keyboard inputs into the terminal (not into any other program, that I can find) or 2) when I first boot, Boinc will correctly recognize all keyboard and mouse (both connected via USB) inputs. If Boinc 6.10.17 had this Bug 10 months ago, then it'll still have it now, try a later version, 6.10.58 being the current recommended version, Claggy |

Boinc won't start
(Message 34811)
Posted 21 Sep 2010 by Claggy Post: When I try to start boinc.exe all I get is a window with a blinking cursor, and after about 10 seconds it goes away. When i start Boinc.exe, i get what is normally displayed in the Messages tab in the DOS window, and in Task Manager i get a Cuda app, an ATI app, and two CPU apps start, I suspect it's your client_state.xml file that's got corrupted, Boinc.exe can't make any sense of it and closes/crashes, So first things first, Make a Backup of your whole Boinc Data directory, and put it somewhere safe, then try restoring client_state.xml from client_state_prev.xml, if that doesn't work, try restoring client_state.xml from client_state_old.xml, you'll probably loose a few or a lot of Wu's with this approach, so it might be better to wait for Ageless to comment first.

Posted 21 Sep 2010 by Claggy Post: Claggy - No tasks start because as soon as I launch Boinc I get Communication message that never goes away. The message comes up before any tasks appear in the Boinc Manager. I said Boinc.exe, NOT Boinc Manager (boincmgr.exe). Boinc is made up of three programs, Boinc.exe (aka the Boinc client), this does all the work, and Boinc Manager (the GUI program), this starts Boinc.exe, then connects to Boinc.exe, and displays/controls what Boinc.exe does, and doesn't have to be running for work to progress, and Boinctray.exe, this monitors Mouse and keyboard activity for suspending CPU/GPU use, etc. If you trawl around to C:\Program Files\BOINC and try starting Boinc.exe, what happens?, do any project apps start?

(Message 33806)
Posted 17 Jul 2010 by Claggy Post: Would be nice to have a snooze CPU function as well. Sometimes we just want to use the CPU for other programs, but would prefer to allow the GPU to crunch. Presently the only way to do this is suspend individual projects and then restart them. However some projects use both CPU and GPU (well, did at one stage). Yes, but we'd like to be able to suspend CPU tasks only, (as opposed to CPU usage) GPU tasks will still keep crunching as long as you only run programs on the CPU with a low priorty, Like last night i did some video encoding for my PSP, i had to suspend all my CPU projects like CPDN and Einstein, and all my Seti CPU tasks while leaving GPU tasks unsuspended, since GPU tasks tend to have a thread that runs at a higher priorty to feed the GPU, as long as i ran my encoder at low priorty, the GPU ran at full or close to full speed, Claggy |

Posted 30 May 2010 by Claggy Post: I've never gone out of the way to figure out if the connect interval space is additive to the buffer setting or inclusive, I.e. if 0.5 days connect and 1.0 days buffer setting, does that cause 1.5 days being cached on the host? Think not, it just working to keep at least 1.0 days worth on client, but the pros may confirm. Always being connected anyway seems to pretty much ignore the connect setting, thus have set that value to 0.0 which makes thinking cache size all the more easy. It is additive, I'm running a 14 day Cache (4+10) on my laptop, just so it can get enough Astropulse Wu's to tide it over any outages, splitters being offline, etc, Claggy |

Posted 18 Apr 2010 by Claggy Post: Since you're posted your Boinc start up messages, but not given any background info, or asked any questions, it's hard to tell what you want to know, You're got an app_info, but it doesn't have a section for SETI@home Enhanced in it, since you're got a ATI Radeon HD 3800, you might be wanting to do Hybrid Astropulse_v505 work, or you might be wanting to do the Astropulse_v505 work on the CPU, hard to tell.

Posted 18 Apr 2010 by Claggy Post: I have a similar problem: Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, (you might have to uninstall several versions), it might be that windows has picked up an old pre-185.85 driver for your two new GPU's, then if that doesn't work, try a different version driver, You don't say what version drivers, or Boinc you're running, up to date can mean the latest Release version of Boinc (6.10.43), or it could be the the latest Development version (6.10.45), and when you say you tried the latest Beta, are talking about drivers? or Boinc?

(Message 32072)
Posted 9 Apr 2010 by Claggy Post: Does your computer have a Nvidia GPU installed and, if yes, are you using it to work for SETI? If yes, that would explain your "problem". If the application name of which you are trying to show the graphics has a "6.09" in the name (Application column in Tasks tab), then there is just no graphics application associated. GMA3150 is the Graphics Chip, so it shouldn't have a Cuda GPU as well. I've just got myself a new Netbook with an Atom N450 dual core, and a GMA3150, and i attached it to Seti yesterday, I'm using Lunatic's optimised apps on it, so no screen saver, When i manage to get an internet connection, I'll attach it to Seti Beta and try the screensaver there instead.

Posted 5 Feb 2010 by Claggy Post: Alrighty. Slicker has been changing the flops values of tasks so first time users get a WU with a proper estimated duration, see: A rather long workunit? My laptop with it's 8400M GS got 79 Cuda wu's each with 1 hour duration estimated, but with each wu taking over 10 hours, i had over 800hrs of work cached, but less than 330 hours to do it, i had already suspended most of them, so i had to set NNT, and went through my tasks aborting a lot of them so i only had 2 or 3 tasks due on the same day, Now because there has been a mixture of tasks with different flops values, i only have 4 tasks with 45hour duration estimated, DCF will fall in time and my cache will fill up again. I suggest you do likewise, abort any surplus that haven't been started, and suspend some if necessary, Note: Resetting the project (at Collatz) only re-downloads the apps and the very same wu's you had before!!

After looking at your hosts task list, you're completed all your CPU tasks, leaving only GPU tasks left, Is Boinc asking for CPU work from Seti?, since your Boinc log didn't include any work requests at all. Claggy Edit: after another look at your host, your GPU has been doing VLAR (very low angle range) tasks which are very slow using the Cuda app, which will have driven your host's DCF (Duration Correction Facture) up, Boinc will have thought that all Seti tasks were going to take longer, and so wouldn't have received as much CPU work, once you're finished any VLAR tasks on the GPU, and the GPU starts doing non-VLAR tasks, then DCF will go down, run times wiil look more reasonable, and you'll get more CPU work. hostid=5257895 |

Importance of L3 cache
(Message 30401)
Posted 1 Jan 2010 by Claggy Post: I intend to buy a replacement for my X2 4050e but don't want to spend too much money. Depends on the Application, Setiathome's Astropulse app is particularly slow on AMD chips compared to Intel C2D chips, probably all to do with the size of the L2 Cache difference between them, i don't know about malaria.net, try comparing run times in the top hosts. I'd point you to a list of computers on Seti Beta, but the Main and Beta projects are down at the moment. Claggy |

Posted 25 Dec 2009 by Claggy Post: I'm running OS X 10.6.2, on MacBook Pro with a nvidia GeForce 8600 GT graphics card with 256 MB. I installed the cuda 2.3.1a drivers for mas ox. I'm running BOINC 6.10.21. Normally (at least for Windows users), all drivers are got from NVIDIA Driver Downloads, rather than the link you were pointed to, which is more for developers. Projects with CUDA If you check the above project's application pages, you'll find none of them have Cuda apps for the Mac yet, Seti is still waiting for a Astropulse_v505 CPU app for the Mac, and Collatz only released a CPU app a couple of days ago.

Posted 20 Dec 2009 by Claggy Post: How have you set 'Suspend GPU work while computer is in use? Enforced by version 6.7+', is it from the Computing Preferences on Seti's website?, have you got the Computer set at the same location as the preferences you're trying to use?

I've just tried it on my Laptop on Boinc 6.10.25, using Seti's Preferences and the Boinc's Local preferences, and my GPU's Collatz task stops after about 5 seconds, it is available here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/?C=M;O=D Boinc 6.10.25 also has a new snooze GPU function, which will snooze the GPU for an hour, while letting the CPU carry on computing.

I downgraded to 6.10.4, did a repair, it was the same, then uninstalled 6.10.4, and installed 6.6.37, i still didn't get the list of Projects, that part was Blank, but managed to copy and past project url into the Box at the bottom and attach O.K, I've since upgraded back to 6.10.9, still the same, and just now tried 6.10.10, which has the box open for 10 secs, no list of projects is shown, then Boinc Manager shuts down! Ideas? Claggy Edit: the only difference i can think of is the Desktop uses Windows firewall, while the laptop uses McAfee's firewall, I did try giving Boinc Manager inbound access as well as outbound, no change. The last time i did attach to a project, was probably Orbit in July 08, with Boinc 6.2.19 or an earlier version. |

Posted 23 Jun 2009 by Claggy Post: b) After a couple of bodged starts, and a "nasty bug", I thought we had reached the point in v6.6.31 that grahics RAM (but not main system RAM) was invariably cleared by BOINC when pre-emtping CUDA tasks, whatever the state of the 'leave apps in memory' flag. I didn't find any problems with graphics RAM over-filling when testing v6.6.31 and later: if there are situations where apps remain in graphics memory (suggested by that 'going into fallback'), then they need to be enumerated, the circumstances identified, and the cause reported as a bug. I tried a couple of weeks ago to interest you in confirming what i had found when 6.6.33 was released, but i wasn't clear enough, Basically if a Seti cuda task get pre-emtped by a Cuda task that needs EDF (or by me just suspending the running task), the following happens: i.) If the task that has been pre-emtped has been running a little while, ie it has finished being fed by the CPU and has checkpointed, Boinc closes the app down. (it disappears from task manager), the next task starts normally, (about 45 to 50% CPU load dropping to 0 to 2%, and % doesn't count up until GPU has finished been fed) OR: ii.) If the task that has been pre-emtped, has only just started being fed to the GPU, and hasn't got as far as a checkpoint, Boinc Doesn't close the app down. (it's still shown in task manager), the next task starts in CPU fallback mode, (50% CPU load, and % starts counting Straight away) Claggy Edit: Boinc 6.6.36 is the same. |

Boinc 6.6.2
(Message 22510)
Posted 19 Jan 2009 by Claggy Post: I was having a look in the Boinc download directory, and saw Boinc 6.6.2 there, so on a whim i downloaded and installed it, one slight problem, i'm now the proud owner of 21 Fresh Astropulse from Seti Main, and number of Multibeam, this is what my log said, after i had already set NNT, and clicked update: 01/19/09 22:25:47|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 01/19/09 22:25:47|SETI@home|CPU work request: 0.00 seconds, 0 instances 01/19/09 22:25:47|SETI@home|CUDA work request: 0.00 seconds, 0 instances 01/19/09 22:25:53|SETI@home|Scheduler request completed: got 20 new tasks I won't let it connect again, and I'm going back to 6.4.5 Claggy |

Designtate different projects for CPU and GPU?
(Message 22487)
Posted 16 Jan 2009 by Claggy Post: I think it is more that the task needs to be designated as a CPU and/or GPU task, and that it should be switchable from one to the other. I presently Beta testing Seti@home 6.08 Cuda, my PC is a Dual Core Laptop with Windows Vista 32Bit, Boinc 6.4.5, and a 8400M GS with 128Mb, (179.28) I am using an app_info to over come a server side restriction on slow GPU's, but because my GPU doesn't have enough ram, (255Mb needed), it goes into CPU fallback mode, and runs on the CPU instead (but slowly, no optimisations yet), that means on this dual core, i have two cpu tasks running, and a GPU task that is really a CPU task!, because of this i've had to use a cc_config.xml file to limit my CPU's available to one, so running one CPU and one GPU on a CPU task. But this version of Boinc acts strange, this afternoon it decided to now only use one core, ie Seti Beta, if you suspend that project it then goes into high priorty on lhc@home, and to get it to run on two cores again you have to set the cc_config.xml back to two, so now it's running lhc and Einstein both normally without a GPU on CPU fallback task running. Boinc should be aware enough that a GPU task might end up running on the CPU instead, and make allowances for it, so doesn't try and run too many tasks on the CPU, or too few. Claggy |

The other times were 22.51 & 23.10, which is a little more than the time between checkpoints, i hadn't noticed it the first time, and the other times i went back to check. I had installed it at 10.17 on the 22nd, and it had ran O.K in the morning, then i played a game in the afternoon, and fired Boinc up later in the afternoon. It's been running almost 2 hours now since reinstalling it, with no problems. Claggy |
