All that tells me is which project the work unit is from, ... It shows the Application name, not the project (it is coincidence that sometimes the Application name contains the name of the project but not always) Similar Application names are shown on the web: the Application names "SETI@home Enhanced v6.10 (cuda_fermi)" and "SETI@home Enhanced v6.03": http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=6856975&offset=0&show_names=0&state=0&appid=2 the Application names "AstroPulse v6 v6.04 (opencl_nvidia_100)", "AstroPulse v6 v6.04 (cuda_opencl_100)", "AstroPulse v6 v6.01" (all from SETI@home but do not contain the name of the project): http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=6856975&offset=0&show_names=0&state=0&appid=12 Example from another project: on Asteroids@home http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/ the Application name is "Period Search Application v100.00": http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=110 |

You are using the 'unfortunate' combination of Kepler GPU + new drivers + stock CUDA app: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 (1024MB) driver: 310.70 SETI@home Enhanced v6.10 (cuda_fermi) The stock CUDA app is a few years old and until they fix it: You need Solution 2) c) from here: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=69735 (Set an environment variable CUDA_GRID_SIZE_COMPAT) And if you had read the posts - this same advice was already given in the beginning of this thread http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=70473&postid=1324731#1324731 |

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (256MB) driver: 314.07 Not the app fault. The problem is you don't have enough free GPU memory: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=2849412150 Error on call (cu_err = cudaMalloc((void**) &dev_PowerSpectrumSumMax, sizeof(*dev_PowerSpectrumSumMax) * NumDataPoints*2 / 8)), file c:/[Projects]/X_CudaMB/client/cuda/cudaAcceleration.cu, line 458: out of memory Exiting (probably newer NVIDIA driver version uses more GPU memory) You may try to disable Aero (the glass effect) to free video RAM You may also try some of the newer apps (read the README_x41zc.txt file inside the .7z to choose the proper app) http://jgopt.org/download.html |

(Message 1338388)
Posted 96 days ago by BilBg
so why did seti send me a Astropluse unit when the settings are set not to ??? Since you didn't copy/post the exact settings we can only wonder how are they set. Instead of "the settings are set not to" more informative is to just copy the lines, e.g.: SETI@home Enhanced: yes Astropulse v505: no SETI@home v7: no AstroPulse v6: yes If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? yes And without exact information from you I can only guess you forget to set: If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? NO P.S. To protect your CPU/GPU from overheating use TThrottle http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/ |

Question - Computer power usage? idle/cpu/gpu
(Message 1337616)
Posted 98 days ago by BilBg
I know the GPU's always say they require a high PSU (500w+ on a lot) so I figured that is close to what they would be pulling. That is the needed PSU for the whole system (they estimate the consumption for CPU+MB+HDD+DVD+fans+... for 'a typical' system and add their GPU wattage to end with recommendation for 'you need at least 500 W PSU') You may find some reviews/tests which measured the difference idle/load for your GPU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Islands_(GPU_family)#Radeon_HD_6800 HD 6850 - maximum power draw of 127 W HD 6870 - maximum power draw of 151 W And I found "The Truth About Graphics Power Requirements V2, See how many watts you really need" (there are big charts): http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.php?showtopic=264 Under the 4 charts there is "List of URLs used for each card" (to reviews/tests on many sites) |

For my ASRock ALiveNF6G-DVI http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=ALiveNF6G-DVI If I set:
Share Memory [Auto]
Primary Graphics Adapter [PCI Express]
... and I have other video card in PCIe slot (in my case AMD Radeon HD 6570) the Onboard video (NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430) is disabled. If I set manually some value (e.g. 64 MB (16-256 MB possible)) for 'Share Memory' both GPUs are enabled. There is no explicit [Disabled] choice for Onboard video (probably to avoid no video at all (black screen) if you only have the Onboard video) |

Those are the miracles of parallel computing. Today's GPUs are (almost) as fast as supercomputer of only decade ago: - your GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 have 1581.1 GFLOPs "theoretical shader performance in single-precision floating point operations": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_500_Series#Products 1500 GFLOPs = 1.5 TFLOPs (TeraFLOPs) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tera- And "As of November 2004, the Cray X1 had a maximum measured performance of 5.9 teraflops" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray#Cray_Inc.:_2000_to_present "The Cray X1 is ... sold by Cray Inc. since 2003 ... offering a peak speed of 12.8 gigaflops per processor." "The largest unclassified X1 system was the 512 processor system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_X1 512 * 12.8 = 6553.6 gigaflops = 6.55 teraflops (theoretical) And the systems from 'Top hosts' can compute faster (if programed in CUDA and algorithm/code is highly parallel) http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/top_hosts.php "Coprocessors [8] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690" (= 4 video cards): http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=5948046 |

No one except you understand this sentence, what "current work" and how SETI can erase it? Click on any username that have old 'Joined' date (e.g. John McLeod VII) You will see they have both 'Total credit' (which is from Boinc/Seti) and 'SETI@home classic' stats. "On December 15, 2005, after 6 years of operation, Classic SETI@home sent out its last workunit.": http://seticlassic.ssl.berkeley.edu/ There is nothing (smart or stupid) you can do (unintentionally or intentionally) to reset (lose) your stats. (only RAC may go up and down http://www.boinc-wiki.info/RAC). |
