11.4.2014 20:50:42 | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks

For some time I have this situation. I am getting CPU WUs, no problems, but not WUs for ATI GPU... Am I having some settings wrong or?

Your computers are hidden, can't tell any info on your systems. You might want to post first 30 lines of your event log so we can see what your system as installed for drivers.

Boinc isn't reporting CAL support for your GPU, seems Setiathome has put in some CAL driver requirements (even through the apps used on AMD GPUs are OpenCL apps), so stopping work being issued,
the way around this is to get the Lunatics Installer and install the Optimised apps, this bypasses the CAL driver requirement.

Claggy

Thanks, that's it. Lunatic's works...

BTW, it is a R9 290 graphics card with latest official 13.12 Catalyst.

Hello

I have the same problem. AMD Hawaii GPU doesn`t work with SETI WU.
My AMD R9 290X has a video memory of 4 GB, Boinc detected 2 or 3 GB only.

I use the latest Catalyst drivers, unfortunately, the field remains the driver version which normally indicates empty. There is only "AMD Hawaii (2048MB) OpenCL: 1.2". The specification of the RAM is not true.

Under the Einstein @ Home project works the card for GPU work units. There, however, is also unaware of the driver version used. All very strange.

Greetings from Chris

Newer card seem to have dropped ATI CAL support. Which is what BOINC uses to detect ATI GPUs. A new detection method will have to designed so newer cards are compatible with SETI@home. Other projects may not use that info for their detection method.

Coorect.
A easy fix is what Claggy suggested.
Simply use the Lunatics installer from here.

Thank you, Lunatics have installed and now it works.

Would be good to correct issue server-side too. Not all look message boards or install soft manually...
Eric notified about issue.

SETI apps news
We're not gonna fight them. We're gonna transcend them.

I'll look into it next week. IIRC, there was a bad AMD/ATI driver set that was identifiable by its CAL driver revision that would bluescreen XP when any OpenCL app was run, so we put the CAL driver revision check into the plan class. The best bet is probably to add an additional plan class that requires OpenCL 1.2 but does require a CAL revision.

I wish AMD would take some lessons on legacy hardware and legacy API support. Did I ever tell the story of how fun it was when AMD removed OpenCL drivers from 25,000 BOINC machines with a driver "upgrade"?

Was that the one where the driver download page still said OpenCL support was included for two more months, although OpenCL.msi was no longer in the package?

The driver package is now completly different.
OpenCL is now integrated in the driver itself.
There is no OpenCL.msi anymore as seperate file.
Evenso some files are renamed now.
It changed again with Cat 14.4.
Even the AMD uninstall utility doesn`t remove everything.

Just reminiscing with Eric about how you can't even believe what they say on their own web page - somebody has to drill down and dirty and verify exactly what's being supplied.

Judging by what Wedge009 is saying in BOINC GPU Detection in Linux, it's still going on, and the same needs to be done there.

I know OpenCL was dropped from AMD's WinXP package after 12.1 because that was one of the reasons why I chose to stay on HD 6000 series for a long time even though GCN is generally better for GPGPU (since HD 7000 series support only came after that release).

As far as I know, OpenCL was included in later driver releases for Windows Vista/7/8. I don't know if it's missing in 14.4 since I just put that on a clean Windows installation and BOINC GPU work seems to be chugging away just fine.

On the Linux side, though, I'm using fglrx/nvidia-331 from the Ubuntu repositories and that seems to have dropped OpenCL from Trusty/14.04. I hope to get it working again by using an older release as TBar suggested.
