| 1) Message boards : GPUs : Has BOINC 7.12.1 broken NVIDIA detection?
Message 87775 Posted 23 Aug 2018 by slre |
An update on this .... Turns out that the problem was not BOINC, Windows or Nvidia. I run the BOINC client under BoincTasks, a (normally) very nice third party tool that makes it easy to monitor several BOINC computers (I run 2-4 so this is useful). (If anyone is interested, you can get it at https://efmer.com/boinctasks-how-to-start/. But .... I have also updated BoincTasks; same day as updating BOINC. Interestingly, if I start the BOINC client from BoincTasks, BOINC does not find my GPUs. But if I start the local instance from BOINC Manager, the BOINC client _does_ find my GPUs. This appears reproducible on my machine. So for anyone else seeing a similar problem recently; if you're running BoincTasks and have recently updated to v 1.75, maybe that's the issue. In the mean time, try starting BOINC with BOINC's own manager; it may behave better. And starting BoincTasks once the client is runing causes no trouble as long as you don;t stop and restart the client from inside BoincTasks. |

Did you get the "updated" drivers from the Nvidia website? ... and a clean install. |

Did you get the "updated" drivers from the Nvidia website? Yes; driver update was direct from geforce.com. |

Just installed BOINC client version 7.12.1 for windows_x86_64. BOINC can no longer find my two NVIDIA GPUs; both are now reporting as 'missing'. Restarting both BOINC and windows is ineffective. Have updated NVIDIA driver to 398.82: still no luck. System is windows 10 pro build 1803 Seems to be associated with the new BOINC version, but is this just me or a general problem? |

This issue seems to have resolved itself after a couple of days crunching; there seems no further need for discussion. |

Just updated Windows 10 64 bit to latest (Nov 2015) version. Also updated BOINC to 7.6.22. Neither Rosetta, Einstein, nor WCG now use more than 1 of my two cpu cores. Yesterday they happily used both. And backing down to prev Boinc version does the same thing... Any ideas why this might change? NB: Also running 2 GPUs - a GTX 750 and GT640. Both working OK though the win 10 update needed a clean nvidia driver install to get open L back |
| 7) Message boards : Documentation : Recent Average Credit description incomplete
Message 54924 Posted 16 Jul 2014 by slre |
Looking at the BOINC wiki at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/computation_credit, I think the RAC description must be incomplete. It tells you only that RAC decreases by a factor of two every week - but it doesn't tell you how it's calculated to start with. I can _guess_ that it might be a daily moving average with an exponentially decaying weight - perhaps a weight that changes daily such that it halves over 7 days. But that's a guess, and one which would imply that RAC could never be zero. It'd be nice if the wiki said exactly how RAC was calculated. |
