Message 37468 Posted 12 Apr 2011 by Rabinovitch |
Well, it's not an elegant solution. Let it be another one item in BOINC's future versions "wishlist". Btw, do you really think that OS will let me run two copies of boinc at the same time? I have a doubts here... |

Message 37461 Posted 11 Apr 2011 by Rabinovitch |
Hi everyone! Please tell whether it is possible to bind, for example, each of 2 GPUs (under Linux system, if any) to certain projects or not? I.e. more powerful - to gpugrid, less one - to collatz. |

Message 31203 Posted 25 Feb 2010 by Rabinovitch |
My big question is how to make BOINC 6.10.17 (the system was openSUSE 11.2 (KDE, if any) x64) detect any "usable GPUs" at all. I did not found any trick or hack to make it, and BOINC itself, of course, won't. Please somebody help me with openSUSE! |
| 7) Message boards : BOINC client : No GPU found using Nvidia 190 driver
Message 31182 Posted 23 Feb 2010 by Rabinovitch |
Don't know whether it corresponding to 190.x drivers, but exactly with this version (I did not install any previous versions) I found such a bug under openSUSE 11.2. No any attempts were found to fix it. Now I'm on Kubuntu, where the things are quite easily... At least in CUDA using for BOINC. But I will glad to see if anyone could decribe me a way to make BOINC use GPU under openSUSE. Please.... |
| 8) Message boards : Questions and problems : Not full CPU utilization (6.10.17, Kubuntu 9.10 amd64)
Message 31128 Posted 20 Feb 2010 by Rabinovitch |
Hi all! Please help me at least to understand the reason, and better to fix a bug (?) decribed below. I found on fresh installation of Kubuntu 9.10 x64 (kernel 2.6.31-19-generic) that CPU load is laying between 70-90%, sometimes - 100%, while in BOINC Manager's settings said to use 100% of processors and 100% of CPU time. I have tried a realtime kernel, but the situatuon was even worse on it - about 50% of CPU load sometimes, and not for short period... (Actually, I even don't know exactly, what is it maid for - it was just an attempt to fix this issue and to see, what will happen... :-)) Note that no other applications are not running when I observe CPU load... What should I do to have a constant 100% load, as under Windows OS before?.. Because it seems that Kubuntu just allows CPU to be idle for a part of time while it's so needed by BOINC... Thank you in advance! |

Message 31126 Posted 20 Feb 2010 by Rabinovitch |
It's not a right way. :-) My advice is to add a following thing in "/etc/init.d/boinc-client" script at first: sudo nano /etc/init.d/boinc-client ***scrolling down*** case "$1" in
start)
sleep 4
start
;;
sleep 4 means that boinc-client will make a pause for 4 seconds before it's start (because it can simply initialize before normal graphics subsystem initialisation. It's confirmed that this methoda does work for Ubuntu/Kubuntu 9.10 amd64 when no any other ways doesn't. It may be 3 or 5 seconds, but on my PC is working reliable with value 4. In case of unsuccessful implementation of decribed above hack you should not change it back, but next your step is to add a boinc user to video group: sudo usermod -a -G video boinc It should then work (may be after rebooting system, (auto)ligin under your (or another necessary) account and autostartup of boinc). If not - try to add your account in video group too. :-) |

Message 17754 Posted 10 Jun 2008 by Rabinovitch |
During installation attempt process it says that "The feature you are trying to use (which feature?!) is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "BOINC.msi" in the box below." So I am searching for fileneme "boins.msi", entering founded path "c:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\{C1034FAD-D4EF-4A25-AE4D-AC7FD8254F05}\BOINC.msi", i.e. I am searching for boinc.exe on this path, but it doesn't work! "The file C:\WINDOWS\bla-bla-bla\BOINC.msi" is not a valid installation package for the product BOINC. Try to find the installation package "BOINC.msi" in a folder from which you can install BOINC." Of cource, in the folder from which I am trying to install BOINC there is now such file. What to do? |
