| 1) Message boards : GPUs : The same 2nd GPU question
Message 92941 Posted 24 Sep 2019 by mmonnin |
Sometimes NV and AMD drivers will need to be installed in a certain order. I thought it was NV that was more lenient and was to be installed 2nd but not so in your case. Maybe try DDU the drivers, NV and then AMD driver installs. |

Message 92940 Posted 24 Sep 2019 by mmonnin |
I always turn off screensavers and just have the monitor turn off. Drawing pretty pictures on the screen takes resources when they could be spent crunching even if it's a small amount of resources. |

Message 92937 Posted 24 Sep 2019 by mmonnin |
Okay, sods law being what it is, I'm sure the projects, (Seti, Einstein, Milky Way), on the machine will want both between them. The other projects on there do not use the GPU. Those are quite different projects. SETI prefers high FP32/SP, MW prefers high FP64/DP while E@H seems to like cards that Mine well like AMD Polaris cards. E@H responds well to memory OCs, so like mining. |

Typical when you limit # of tasks via LHC project page or app_config. Set LHC to 1% resource share and the other projects much higher. |

Message 92935 Posted 24 Sep 2019 by mmonnin |
If windows updated, check to see if you still have OpenCL driver installed. Post BOINC log or check in GPU-Z |

Windows 10 probably updated your driver to a version that does not include OpenCL support. |
| 7) Message boards : Questions and problems : Running boinc on Vast.AI using boinc client docker.
Message 92724 Posted 6 Sep 2019 by mmonnin |
BOINC should be in a Ubuntu repository. The BOINC manager should also install as well giving you a GUI. The last time installed BOINC from the default repository it came installed BOINC v7.9.3. This should start the client from terminal. "/etc/init.d/boinc-client start" I start/restart clients this way. The data directory for Ubuntu should be /var/lib/boinc-client unless changed. remote_hosts.cfg should be saved there. I believe the docker is an interface between science exe files and BOINC giving it check pointing and other BOINC functions vs integrating science and BOINC functions into one exe. |

It needs to be installed as a service? |

Message 92627 Posted 28 Aug 2019 by mmonnin |
I didn't mean with the bit of code that you could change the output of BOINC. BOINC will always follow the compute capability, driver version, RAM size and estimated FLOPs sequence to designate the device IDs, with the best GPU always being device 0, the second best device 1 etc. Of course if all devices are the same for all four comparison points, then it gets tricky. BOINC always shows my cards as 2x 1070s even though it is a 1070 and a 1070Ti. It is not ordered by best/fastest/FLOPs. 1070 is in the 1st slot and 1070Ti is in the 2nd slot. |
| 10) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Unable to connect to client upon installation no matter what I do.
Message 92547 Posted 21 Aug 2019 by mmonnin |
You're client is not running if boinc.exe is not running. Thus BOINC Mgr has nothing to connect to. Was it installed as a service? I'm not at a PC with BOINC atm but there should only be a few text files in the BOINC data directory (not the install directory) that aren't project specific. Something like stderr I think is the log file. |

Linux can take an age to boot after updates and filed boots.... If CE isn't enough add 2 more Windows OS versions. CE-ME-NT |
| 13) Message boards : GPUs : Seems SLI is causing GPU problems
Message 92440 Posted 9 Aug 2019 by mmonnin |
I put the SLI connector back on a pair of gtx1070 and have about 50 error'ed out GPUGrid tasks since. I assume the problem is SLI related but other people are reporting bad workunits at the same time over there. The GPUGrid Windows licence has expired as well. Project specific errors should be posted on project sites. There were at least 4 separate threads about tasks with errors as of 2 days ago. |

Message 92371 Posted 5 Aug 2019 by mmonnin |
Not every project updates their server code in sync with BOINC releases - many of them leave it untouched for months or years. For a long time, there were reports that specific projects wouldn't allow the special 0 value to be entered via their websites. YoYo for some reason doesn't allow 0 so its never a backup project for me. Admins have confirmed 0 is not allowed. Thats the only project I've come across that doesn't allow 0. |

Message 92348 Posted 31 Jul 2019 by mmonnin |
There has been some recent credit for QCN Taiwan but its been a few weeks. I think the QCN projects also need the location of the device set in the profile for tasks to receive credit. |

Message 92301 Posted 25 Jul 2019 by mmonnin |
I'm guessing BOINC reads the status of battery or A/C power like it does if the PC is idle or not. BOINC doesn't know if the PC is idle, the OS does and BOINC reads it. So I'm guessing A/C vs battery might be the same thing. |
| 17) Message boards : Projects : How to link accounts?
Message 92287 Posted 24 Jul 2019 by mmonnin |
They are all separate. The only link is via CPID, Cross Project IDs. Mine is 9deac61bf5b5680cd09f705783700b45. You'll have to use the same email between projects and attach to the same host and they will end up with the same CPID. The forums here isn't a project so there's nothing to link. External stats like Free-DC can track by CPID. I don't understand this part " BOINC universe @ home account, and link those 2 with the universeathome.pl account". The Universe@Home Project site is at universeathome.pl |

Message 92262 Posted 22 Jul 2019 by mmonnin |
that already works by default but it can be messy (inefficieint) That doesn't control which task runs on which GPU, which is the desire. |

Message 92260 Posted 22 Jul 2019 by mmonnin |
if researchers had to pay for users electricity they'd take the crunching private and there'd be no more project for users. They turn to BOINC because they often have no extra funding for computing. Some projects are funded by project admins w/o grants or outside funding. |
