All I can say is WOW ! Could it have been any easier ? ReSchedule 1.7 is the next best thing to Optimized APPs that I have found on this (linked to Lunatics ofcourse) Forum. After spending the last 8 or so hours pulling out my hair because I haven't been able to upload/download....and watching my CUDA cache slowly dwindle down to less than 30 WU's, I decided to give it a shot. http://lunatics.kwsn.net/12-gpu-crunching/cpu-gpu-rebranding-perl-script.msg18617.html#msg18617 I was not only able to buy myself a little more time (about another 8 hours of <full-load-10-thread-crunching> life during this 'noisy' period), I found a tool that I will add to my arsenal for future fine tuning. Are you a MB Cruncher ? have more CPU than CUDA WU's available ? (or the other way around ?) KEEP THOSE GTX Cards Well Fed/Supplied with WU's ! GET THIS TOOL ! (requires Forum registration) That is all for now....and thanks to Zeus for pointing it out in another thread.

*thumbs up* This is the perfect compliment for MB crunching.. Now my hosts can handle all WU thrown their way; with an intelligent thought to using the type of processor that is most efficient for that task. Very nice guys. Big kudos to all those crazy lunatics who helped get GPU crunching to the point it is! =) Thanks! keep crunching "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not Eureka!

There is a version 1.8 in that very same thread. http://lunatics.kwsn.net/12-gpu-crunching/cpu-gpu-rebranding-perl-script.msg18817.html#msg18817 And is the newest version available. Boinc....Boinc....Boinc....Boinc.... |

Probably worth mentioning that the big win from this app is that you no longer need the VLAR kill version of the opt apps - you can replace them with the standard opt app. Reschedule will rebrand any VLAR/VHARs from GPU to CPU. This helps on two fronts (especially when recently there seem to have been more VLARs than usual) a. You don't run short of GPU taks because you've VLAR killed them and b. It stops the network traffic caused by throwing away VLAR tasks and downloading replacements. (Every little bit helps!) GPU Users Group |

I am using the same tool since yesterday. It works great as I was able to balance workload between CPU and GPU. However, now around 20 CUDA units are in various stages of “Waiting to runâ€Â. Is that normal? |

Is that normal? That depends on your view of what is normal :-) It shouldn't happen, but with 6.6.36 there seems to be a bug that causes this behaviour. Check with windows task manager how many CUDA applications (6.08) are active. If more than one, you should reboot to unclogg your graphic memory. Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben.

Only one CUDA task is active at the moment... but I wonder what will happen to all those waiting tasks in BOINC ? |

That was my question: are they preempted correctly (removed from memory) or not. If not, the following tasks tend to error out or fall back to CPU processing. |

Thanks for the input Gundolf. I rebooted my computer about an hour ago so I have no idea about that… I will keep checking. by the way, this only happened after running the ReSchedule tool. |

This tool does what Boinc should do, no reason for bandwidth waste, not least since there's isn't enough in the first place. |

BOINC shouldn't have any project-specific code, and I'm not sure this is a general CUDA problem. ... but it seems that the CUDA science app. (and the CPU app. for that matter) could do the rebranding, and that's in the project-specific code (the science applications). |

Is that normal? You should take some of your time for closer look at explanations back at the original post, which Geek@Play provided earlier. -Running units are now excluded from the rescheduling (better because the Who the hell is General Failure and why is he reading my harddisk?¿ |

Works on my Vista 32-bit system. Fails on my 64-bit systems, Vista or Win 7 RC. Error message is "boinc.exe does not exist." All files are in default locations. Ideas? Edit: Got it to run. The ReSchedule.ini file had to be edited to explicitly state the path information on 64-bit systems for some reason. -- Classic 82353 WU / 400979 h |

Got the same error as Andy on my Vista 64bit system is there a work round. Tried in various folders still no joy. Dave |

Got the same error as Andy on my Vista 64bit system is there a work round. You've got to change it to the correct program files directory, Windows 64bit has two different ones. Claggy |

According to Marius, ReSchedule 1.8 handles the win/64 platform correctly. |

According to Marius, ReSchedule 1.8 handles the win/64 platform correctly. That's the version i installed earlier, it didn't, and had to change the directory, My Windows 64bit machine did once have 32bit Boinc installed, so it might have a unused Boinc directory in Program files WoW. I'll check later when i get home. Claggy |

According to Marius, ReSchedule 1.8 handles the win/64 platform correctly. Not as delivered. The .ini file has to be edited to include specific path information to the boinc.exe and client_state.xml files. This should be in a readme.txt or equivalent. -- Classic 82353 WU / 400979 h |

rs 1.8 fails on windows 7-64 on 2 different machines. cant find client_state and bunch of other stuff. |

rs 1.8 fails on windows 7-64 on 2 different machines. cant find client_state and bunch of other stuff. As mentioned in the post above yours- The .ini file has to be edited to include specific path information to the boinc.exe and client_state.xml files. Does it still fail after doing that?
