I saw the other thread about not getting GPU work, but my problem seems slightly different. My system isn't even requesting GPU work. Here are the startup lines for Boinc: 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM Starting BOINC client version 7.0.64 for windows_x86_64 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM Libraries: libcurl/7.25.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.6 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM Data directory: D:\ProgramData\BOINC 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM Running under account Dave 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM Processor: 8 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz [Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9] 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss htt tm pni ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt aes syscall nx lm vmx tm2 pbe 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM OS: Microsoft Windows 7: Home Premium x64 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.01.7601.00) 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM Memory: 15.97 GB physical, 31.97 GB virtual 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM Disk: 312.50 GB total, 257.49 GB free 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM Local time is UTC -4 hours 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM CAL: ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 7870/7950/7970 series (Tahiti) (CAL version 1.4.1741, 3072MB, 3032MB available, 7258 GFLOPS peak) 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 7870/7950/7970 series (Tahiti) (driver version 1124.2 (VM), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1124.2), 3072MB, 3032MB available, 7258 GFLOPS peak) Collatz Conjecture 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM URL http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/; Computer ID 117317; resource share 0 Einstein@Home 6/1/2013 4:30:59 PM URL http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/; Computer ID 6529990; resource share 0 Moo!

I even set my prefs to do CPU - NO ATI - YES NVIDIA - NO in hopes this would force the matter, but that doesn't seem to have worked, either. Something must be missing or mis-configured, I'm just not sure what... -Dave |

Is your client even asking for new ATI work? Gruß, Gundolf |

On your account preference (from the website, not your local machine) have you set "SETI@Home Version 7"? If you haven't you won't be getting any tasks. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Gundolf, No, it's not requesting new work, that's my issue. Rob, Yes, and I can get CPU work, but no ATI work. -Dave |

Probably because of don't use GPU while active. What happens if you either set Use GPU while active to On, or you walk away from your system for an hour? |

It's still not requesting work... It was able to do work all last night, but didn't even request any. I'll set it to do work while active and see if that gets any work. -Dave [edit] I enabled all processing (CPU and ATI GPU) and set it to do work while the computer is in use, updated, and just got 73 CPU tasks, I am not seeing any request in the messages for any ATI work. I waited for all the transfers to complete and did another update to see if an ATI request would happen, but that update did another CPU request and got another CPU task. [edit2] I enabled <work_fetch_debug> on this machine and I'm seeing this in the log file: 6/2/2013 11:00:38 AM | | [work_fetch] Request work fetch: Core client configuration 6/2/2013 11:00:41 AM | | [work_fetch] work fetch start 6/2/2013 11:00:41 AM | | [work_fetch] choose_project() for ATI: buffer_low: yes; sim_excluded_instances 1 6/2/2013 11:00:41 AM | | [work_fetch] no eligible project for ATI ... 6/2/2013 11:01:26 AM | | [work_fetch] --- state for ATI --- 6/2/2013 11:01:26 AM | | [work_fetch] shortfall 129600.00 nidle 1.00 saturated 0.00 busy 0.00 6/2/2013 11:01:26 AM | SETI@home | [work_fetch] fetch share 0.000 (no apps) So I think something must not be configured correctly on my end? |

If I look at the properties tab in Boinc Manager for Seti, it says Don't fetch tasks for AMD/ATI GPU : Project has no apps for AMT/ATI GPU It would appear that Boinc thinks there's no valid application available. Anyone have any ideas on anything I could try to get Boinc to recognize that there is/are valid apps? Would making an app_info get around this? If so, what would be the app name to use in it? |

Pre-emptively solved by grabbing the latest Lunatics installer... That has enabled me to download GPU tasks... |
