The Admiral is running Windows, and the plan_class is present:

Windows/x86	7.03 (opencl_ati5_nocal)	30 May 2013, 0:18:19 UTC	7,827 GigaFLOPS

Apparently it's Not working, or else They would have received tasks.

We're still waiting to see if there was a driver update between old and new (failed) work fetch requests.

While you're waiting you might check WooHoo's results, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/hosts_user.php?userid=9941230, and note how the NoCALs stopped on the 21st...on all three machines. Then look at the last time Admiral Gloval received a NoCAL....21st, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=7368710&offset=60&show_names=0&state=0&appid=
I haven't been able to download a NoCAL since...the 21st, http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/forum_thread.php?id=2243&postid=54222#54222

Scheduler code update on a Thursday, at both Main and Beta? Seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened at sea. You could ask Eric if David the Tinkerman was in the lab that day.

There haven't been any scheduler (or any server code) changes committed to Git all month.

I setup a new test host which has a non-CAL GPU(R7 250), Cat 14.4, & is only requesting GPU tasks. So far it looks like it it just sucking air.
Also I set it up to update every 310 seconds.

And your driver is saying 'OpenCL 1.2', unlike the OpenCL 2.0 the others have - consciously or not - upgraded to.

That explains why WooHoo has been burning up all those APs, http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/top_hosts.php
Of course, it does have it's benefits, http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/top_teams.php
Release the NoCALs!

And why is it, with 9 rigs running 24/7, that I have never had any problems with them reporting or tasks, or much else?
Am I just that lucky, or what?

Your rigs all have NVidia cards, and you haven't updated the drivers recently. The working assumption is that something has changed with the ATI/AMD GPU drivers, and the way SETI responds to work requests when the CAL driver isn't reported. Eric is looking into the Beta server logs.

Well, there ya have it in a nutshell.
If it ain't broken, I don't fix it.
NV and existing drivers work, and I don't update a thing unless something stops working.

I think it might be working now.

I've been running 15.4 beta drivers since last month with no problems until last week. I can't run really old drivers because hawaii and 295x2 support only goes back so far. I try to stay on the latest drivers to see if the problem where the first gpu gets detected as opencl 2.0 and the second gpu gets detected as opencl 1.2 will ever get fixed. I set it to use all gpus to get around that problem.

And Hal's test machine has just got some, too. Eric found a typo in the plan class specification file.

I suppose using lunatics would get around the problem as well. But I like stock so that the apps update automatically. Plus I'm trying to see what level my output peaks at on stock before I try comparing with optimized.

I don't update a thing unless something stops working.

OpenCL 2.0 support is only in the GCN 1.1 & 1.2 based cards. Which includes the R7 260s (Bonaire), R9 280s, & R9 290s. I think the driver that added OpenCL 2.0 support was Cat 14.12, 1642.5 (VM).

However it looks like someone found the issue.

I always hope that an update can increase performance even by 1% but that usually applies to games and not science apps.

The 7.03 wu's are back. Yes. Looks like a mod has been made to the app. It now uses even less cpu power (0.0322). Thanks for the return.
