I have encountered something disturbing. I don't get any credits for work that is made by my GPU (AMD Radeon R9 290). It's been like that for the last few months. I don't really care too much about credits but I don't know if SETI receives the work my computer has done if I don't get any credits for it.

You can see the state of your returned work here:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=7595330

Each task you get is one of two copies of the work unit that are sent to two different people. When the two of you return your results they are compared, if both sets of results are "sufficiently similar" then you get credit, if they don't another copy is sent to a third person to act as an arbiter. It can take some folks several weeks (months) to return their results, so sit tight and wait.

App details says host crunched v8 on ATI. version 8.12, so must have done GPU work since 19th may. Some old tasks waiting on wingman, but nothing on board.
The old question 'not asking or not getting'.

Ubbe, we need more details on the problem. Please post the first 30 or so lines from the eventlog after a startup.

if you know how to do it, enable the 'work_fetch_debug' log flag, do a manual update of the project and post the results. If not, don't worry, we'll check on that after we've eliminated other possibilities.

In your preferences, do you allow the GPU to work while the computer is in use or not?

edit: a possible source of the problem is win10 updating your video card driver to a version that has no OpenCL support. The startup messages will show that.


We don't know your level of skill with either BOINC or computers in general. Please say if we need to provide greater detail on how to accomplish stuff.

OK, thanks for the explanation.
