21) Message boards : Questions and problems : Boinc does not recognize OpenCL (Nvidia GTS450) (Message 46890)

The PC was set up new last month.
I installed Windows7, then the Nvidia Driver (direct from Nvidia) und then Boinc.
The first weeks i only crunched for seti@home and after a while i tried poem@home but then i got openCL errors.

So it is not possible to set a flag or anything like this in a config file to tell Boinc that there IS openCL ?

Hi!
Boinc does not recognize OpenCL capability on my Nvidia GTS450 GPU.

When i start Boinc there is only one Message regarding the GPU:

...

11.12.2012 20:41:57 | | NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTS 450 (driver version 306.97, CUDA version 5.0, compute capability 2.1, 1024MB, 8381345MB available, 568 GFLOPS peak)
11.12.2012 20:41:57 | | No general preferences found - using defaults
...

Other people with Nvidia cards also get this message at startup:

NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce 8400M GS (driver version 306.23, CUDA version 5.0, compute capability 1.1, 128MB, 8380435MB available, 38 GFLOPS peak)
OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce 8400M GS (driver version 306.23, device version OpenCL 1.0 CUDA, 128MB, 8380435MB available)

The Problem is that OpenCL Projects such as POEM@Home doesn't work:
09.12.2012 19:02:42 | Poem@Home | Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA
09.12.2012 19:02:43 | Poem@Home | Scheduler request completed: got 5 new tasks

But GPU-Z tells me, that OpenCL is active and Lightsmark2.0 is using OpenCL for calculations.
Only Boinc seems not be able to detect OpenCL.

Windows=7Home64
CPU FX-8350, 16GB RAM

I tried this:
Boinc completely new installed (7.0.28)
Geforce-Driver completely new installed (306.97)
The GPU-App of Poem@Home from another user copied on my computer and several app_info.xml from other users that work on their PCs.

GPU-Projects that dont need OpenCL such as Seti@Home or Einstein@Home work fine.

Any further suggestions?

[quote]...Make sure you run BOINC and the GPU "based on preferences" as well. If they're set to run always, even this option in cc_config.xml will be ignored.


Thanks, the run always option was my mistake. Without that option now it works correcly. :)

I created this cc_config.xml :
<cc_config> 
<options> 
     <exclusive_gpu_app>DScaler.exe</exclusive_gpu_app> 
     <exclusive_gpu_app>vlc.exe</exclusive_gpu_app> 
     <exclusive_gpu_app>mpc-hc.exe</exclusive_gpu_app> 
</options> 
</cc_config>

...and the first days it worked fine. When i started one of the programs, the GPU-Task stopped immediately und continued after closing the program.
But one day i noticed, that now it doesn't work any more. When i start one of the programs, GPU-Task is still running. :(
When i shortly suspend the task manually and continue it 1 second later, then it stays "waiting to run" - also if i close the program. Again it helps to suspend the task manually for a second an then it continues computation.
So i think, the BOINC Manager is detecting the running program but is not able to react.

Any idea, how to get this to automatic GPU-suspending function working correctly?
