41) Message boards : Questions and problems : cc_config, appnames (Message 52069)
Posted 21 Jan 2014 by Toby Broom

Hi,

I have in my cc_config to stop GPU work when the CPU is fully loaded so I added the name of the app e.g.:

<exclusive_gpu_app>sixtrack_win32_4463_pni.exe</exclusive_gpu_app>

However if the project release a new app e.g.:

sixtrack_win64_4463_pni.exe

Now I need a new line in the cc_config.

Is there a way to wild card it to say sixtrack*

then all apps from that project would be exclusive?

Could you include the VirtualBox version, included in the package?

I guess I'd like to use a driver later than 13.5 (12.5 was a typo).

for some reason all the later ones don't detect CAL?

I have a 7790 GPU in my computer if I install a driver after the 12.5 beta I see the following when I load up BOINC:

If I have 13.5 then I get this extra line:
03-Oct-13 18:52:45 | | CAL: ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 7790 series (Bonaire) (CAL version 1.4.1741, 1024MB, 966MB available, 2408 GFLOPS peak)

Any idea's how I can use a later driver?

I have another computer with a 7870XT and it seems to show CAL all the time?

I'll just nurse the work units though then until I clear all my CPND work units.

The scheduler doesn't seem to work the way I want in 7.0.25

Thanks for the sugestions.

In 7.0.25, 'connect' doesn't exist any more.

I set CPDN back to 0, it still didn't seem to do what I expected.

It finshed T4t task but didn't get a new one.

I have minimium work buffer of 0 and Max additional work of 0.1

Before I had "connect" and "max additional" at 0.1 and 0.

In 7.0.25 are these equilivent?

Hi, I'm trying to get the config for my system in a manner that fits my needs.

I have 2 PC's runing 7.0.25, both W7 x64. I have Vbox 4.1.2 on them

I have CPDN with ~50 out standing WU's on one and ~90 on the other

In the 6.x software I had my CPDN share set to 0 and T4t set to 100. The connect about was set to 0.1 and Max Additional was set to 0.

I the behaviour I saw was that T4t would run and the CPDN.

in the 7.0.25, I was advised to swap the Minimum & Maximum numbers around and set CPDN to 100.

This doesn't give the behavour I desire though, the system no focus's on doing work for CPDN and forgoes T4t so I have to mess with it which is against the point of the scheduler.

Any advice?
