1) Message boards : GPUs : GPU run project
Message 91608
Posted 23 May 2019 by ProfileGandalf_the_Grey
Does any one know of a Project that runs on a Linux Mint OS via a AMD Radeon 7700 GPU?
If so, are there any special commands needed to make it work?
I have a PC that works the same GPU via Windows7 OS, but with Linux I can't make it work.

Thanks

In what way it doesn't work?
Code calls for four WU per GPU.
Running 0.896 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU.

Does the client say it found the app_config.xml file?
Have not queried Collatz Conjecture.
Decided to ask BOINC first.

Is the BOINC version new enough to know about app_config.xml?
Version: 7.2.42 (x64)
This is the version downloaded by Synaptic Package Manager.


Did you put it into right directory?
/var/lib/boinc-client/projects/boinc.thesonntags.com_collatz

Does the client have permissions to read it?
YES

This code works under Windows7, but not under LinuxMint Cinnamon 17.2.
Does anyone have a fix for making it work under LinuxMint?

Thanks

PS - the WU runs under LinuxMint, it's app_config.xml that does not work.
If you need any additional info, I'll be happy to provide it.
I am not an expert, so be easy on me, please.

I've decided to stay with Collatz and increase the Minimum work buffer to 10.0 days and the Max additional work buffer to 4.00 days.
I'm hoping that when the Collatz crashes again that this setting will provide enough work until the Callatz comes back on line.
Time will tell.

My 32-bit PC froze and T/S showed a fan on the heat sink had dies. Have left the PC powered down until I can replace the fan.

FYI - Upon running Boinc Manager, Collatz is running. Milkyway downloaded WUs, then aborted them. I have since deactivated the Milkyway Project.

Richard - Sorry to bust your bubble, but Milkyway and Collatz are both downloading WUs now. I have them both set to 0.25C + 0.5NV.
The GPUs can't handle .25NV, but that is ok. They are working fine at .5NV.
With Collatz crashing perodically, I've set both Projects to download.

I won't need to mess with this PC again unless it stops crunching.

I've been at this for years, trying to get Linux and GPUs working, and you did it, Roland. Give the man a cigar. Hell, give him the whole box.

Many thanks, you the man.

Subject to a reply from you, I will let the PC run overnight in the event Milkway decides to download WUs.
Collatz Conjecture is down again. No great surprise there.

Again, thanks for the help.

Roland - OK. The Projects now see the GPUs, but are not downloading any WUs.
Any idea what is wrong? Collatz is downloading to my Win7 crunchers.

Roland - Thanks for the guidance. This is why I am doing this step by step.
I have un-installed the boinc-nvidia-cuda and the boinc-app-milkway and rebooted.

Do I now click on the Driver Manager bullet button for nvidia-331?

Or, do I need to do this commend?
sudo apt-get install nvidia-modprobe


Thanks

I've redone my number two Linux PC to LM 17.1 32-bits Cinnamon.
The two GPUs are GeForce GTX285

Updated the system.
With Synaptic Package Manager, installed...
Boinc
Boinc-app-milkway
Boinc-nvidia-cuda

Driver Manager says...
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

GPUs are not seen by Projects.

Tried...
sudo service boinc-client restart

No joy.

What is the next step, please.

Roland - I'm not a Linux Guru like you guys. I currently have an i7 PC running LM - 64 bits. After all the currently downloaded WUs have reported, I will replace the LM 64-bit with the 32-bit LM.

While I have tried to follow your above information, most of it was greekish to me. :-) If I try to extract the proper changes from the above instructions, I could mess something up. (could?) More like will.

I'd appreciate it, if you could do a brain dead step by step guide, to implement the needed changes to take a new LM 32-bit install with the 32-bit Boinc program installed, to the desired configuration to get the CPU and the GPUs to run WUs. Yea, when it comes to Linux I'm really that dumb. I'll understand, if you don't have the time or if you can't get to it right now. I'll be ready, when/if you are.

Thanks again.
Gandalf

PS - even magic doesn't work with the 64-bit version.

Roland - what happens, if I replace the 64-bit LM with a 32-bit LM. Will the PC function the same with the CPU WUs plus allow the GPU WUs to work?

Thanks

Thanks Roland, but I was hoping to augment my CPU WUs with the GPU WUs.
By limiting my RAM, would that not affect the CPU WUs already running?

Juha - that sounds like a plan.
