1) Message boards : GPUs : OpenCL but no CAL? (2) (Message 52481)

I've found a problem similar to the one found on this thread:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8647

I run BOINC on 2 PC, the 1st with ATI 5770, the 2nd with a 7790, both win7 64-bit + BOINC 7.0.28, and catalyst 13.9
The 5770 is seem by BOINC as:
06/02/2014 10:55:58 | | ATI GPU 0: Juniper (CAL version 1.4.1848, 512MB, 479MB available, 2720 GFLOPS peak)
The 7790 is seem by BOINC as:
27/01/2014 18:54:21 | | OpenCL: ATI GPU 0: Bonaire (driver version 1268.1 (VM), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1268.1), 1024MB, 1024MB available)

so on the 5770 can run projects both OpenCL and CAL based. But on the 7790 all client CAL based show this BOINC log message:
09/02/2014 22:18:10 | | App version needs CAL but GPU doesn't support it

I've reported this problem also here:
http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=5504&nowrap=true#73346

any idea to load CAL also on 7790 ?

Hello!

Seems that the flag "While computer is on batteries" do not works. I've performed some checks on 2 laptop, a HP + Vista + BOINC 6.10.18 and a Dell Inspiron 2200 + XP home + BOINC 6.10.18, with the same result, disconnecting the AC power boinc continue to run.

I've also found this ticket on a old 6.2 verion:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/690
seems the same problem, but it's closed. What's mean "resolution set to worksforme" ?

Hello,

I need to perform a scheduled suspend/resume of 2 GPU projects in order to run by night the one that slow down the windows inferface and run by day the light one (Collatz). Already use windows task scheduler to run scripts with boinccmd to start/stop some PCs. Unfortunately boinccmd hold only a get_project_status command not a set_project_status.
Anyone know a alternative method to perform this switch ?

Thanks,
Ale

Did you connect a monitor or dummy plug to the second card?

Ok, this was the problem. Now the GPUs works.

Thank you.

After install a 2nd NVVIDA FX1800 on Vista SP1 with BOINC 6.10.18 I've modified the cc_config.xml file adding a row:

<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>

and then re-read the config file:

6/18/2010 12:54:56 PM Re-reading cc_config.xml
6/18/2010 12:54:56 PM Re-read config file
6/18/2010 12:54:56 PM Config: use all coprocessors
6/18/2010 12:54:56 PM log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task

but Collatz continue running only 1 WU.
notice that vista, GPU-Z and HWmonitor see correctly the 2nd FX1800.

I've also restart BOINC and on startup log see only one log message:

NVIDIA GPU 0: Quadro FX 1800 (driver version 19100, CUDA version 2030, compute capability 1.1, 768MB, 176 GFLOPS peak)

seems lack a 2nd message type "NVIDIA GPU 1: ...", right ?
8) Message boards : BOINC client : core - manager comms problem on 31416 (Message 22648)
Posted 24 Jan 2009 by astroale
Post:
Help!

On 2 PCs running boinc 5.10.45, Linux an win2003, that usually permit the remote control from BoincView on port 31416, now I can't connect.
Using netstat can see a lot of CLOSE_WAIT rows on the boinc port. And with ethereal can see that the session from the manager (local boincmgr or remote BoincView) is open successfully and closed very soon (after a timeout think, different for boincmgr and boincview), than the client open another connection (with another local random port) and so on.

The result is that the manager can't connect to boinc, or that the connection (Linux) go up and down continuosly.

Is it a known problem ?
workaround ... fix ?

Regards,
Alessandro

Riesel Sieve has been down for over a day now (again), I have 400-500 Wu's waiting to Upload since then ... 0_o


Yes, I've the same problem and now the days are two.
Also the home page is down, so there isn't any kind of info.
How is possible know the problem and if the project will be down definitively (so we can clear the WU queue) ?
