Same WU takes more time in Lunatics (ATI) than only CPU ?

Currently this cruncher is only showing you have the lunatics application installed for the CPU, and nothing for the GPU.


How come??? I installed Multibeam for ATI dude.

But no one can explain WHY i am having that error? Its because of being a APU Processor?

There are a few reasons for a computer to give the "can't create output file" type errors - here are a few of them
Disk is full.
User allocation of disk space is consumed.
User does not have create/write permission for the data directory.
The "create file" operation fails due to computer glitch.
Anti-virus software gets in the way

There are more, but these are the most common.

One common problem is that the "user" running BOINC/S@H does not have the correct permissions. This will show up as EVERY task failing with this error message, it can be prevented at installation time by doing the installation "for all users", not jut the one that is doing the installation.
Another one that is quite similar in its appearance is the AV software getting in the way - exclude the BOINC/project directories from the AV checking, and make sure BOINC/S@H applications are allowed to write (some AV software allows stopping applications writing non-temporary files)
User allocation is a funny one, because it can be transient - a user deletes a load of files, they go to the waste bin, but for a short time they appear twice against that user's allocation. (I don't use allocations, to prevent this problem).
Hard disk full - self explanatory really!

I have to say expecting a dual 1GHz CPU, with a "built in" ATI HD6290 GPU to be anything other than "prosaic" is being a bit of an optimist.
I'd guess (based on the performance of my 2.7GHz, 6 core AMD) that an astopulse would take about six hours on the CPU, and something similar on the GPU (running Lunatics, not stock).

One question - is this processor being used as an add-on to a bigger system, or is it in a standalone PC?
(Silly me - I've just looked at the AMD website - its a notebook processor, so it certainly won't set the fields ablaze with its performance, indeed the lack of information on the AMD site suggests it has had a "chequered history", unlike its logical predecessor, the C-50, it has vanished from the product schedules)

But this one http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6755411 has a low GPU and it works o why this one doesnt????

Ok but i cant even install lunatics because of this error. I will install only Boinc. Thanks everyone
Ps: and if i change memory settings?
Ps2: i just found that buffer cache was set to 1000 days WTF.

Thanks Claggy and Raistmer for your help. It s sad having a GPU that doesnt work :(. I will install lunatics and then use "no gpus" cmd to turn a usable gpu in to a UNSUABLE one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn

You could upgrade the RAM, 750Mb to run Windows 7 and anything else is not a lot, then you could probably adjust BIOS settings to give the GPU more memory,
