-use_sleep -unroll 10 -oclFFT_plan 256 16 512 -ffa_block 6144 -ffa_block_fetch 1536


Jim try these. Got this from the old 750Ti thread

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=75919#1588675

this as the last recommendation on a 750Ti

-use_sleep -unroll 6 -oclfft_plan 256 16 256 -ffa_block 2830 -ffa_block_fetch 2830 -tune 1 64 4 1 -tune 2 64 4 1

See if it helps


I was just wondering, would the same commands work on a GTX650ti or are they specific to only the 750?


Try -use_sleep -unroll 8 -oclfft_plan 256 16 256 -ffa_block 2830 -ffa_block_fetch 2830 -tune 1 64 4 1 -tune 2 64 4 1.


Thanks Mike, I'll give it a try.

No more lock-ups since the unroll down to 8. Good news. The C2Q and both Xeons seem to like this combo.

Just installed Crimson 16.1.1. No problems that I can see, no invalids or errors associated with the new driver (so far). Running on 2 Powercolor, R9 280Xs. I did use DDU first.

Thanks TBar, this is a fraction too involved me I think I would crash the task. I am pleased this works for you

I successfully managed to change this task from CPU to my ATI card however in the process I lost a considerable amount of work from another project. I did exit Boinc before saving changes in the appropriate file

BOINC Rescheduler still works (I even patched it to work with SETI@home v8, but for AstroPulse it don't need patch)
Why not use it? (if you after all are already inclined to Reschedule manually)

A good question you raise. I was looking for this yesterday and was unable to find and download. Are you able to provide a download link

http://www.efmer.eu/download/boinc/scheduler/boinc_rescheduler_2_7.zip

"BOINC Rescheduler - How to patch for SETI@home v7"
http://pastebin.com/a635m8CW

Change 7 to 8 in:

setiathome_enhanced -> setiathome_v8
Seti Enhanced -> SETI@home v8
Seti EH -> Seti v8

 

Thanks for links. Could you please let me know what lines I need to change as I can't find the pacific lines I need to change. This is most likely because I can't read programming code. I'm using the problem recommended in the guide.

In regards to if I just wanted to reschedule APs will work without needing changes?

"what lines I need to change" - they are not lines

Get HxD (link in pastebin.com)
Open by HxD: BOINC Rescheduler.exe or BOINC Rescheduler64.exe
You will see bytes as Hex at left and the same bytes as Text at right - use [Tab]

1) Ctrl+F for setiathome_enhanced (which you Copy/Paste from here)
Type over _enhanced to become _v8hanced
use [Tab]
At left over bytes type 00 00 00 00 00 00 so hanced disappear at right

Cosmetic:
2) Ctrl+Home
Ctrl+F for Seti Enhanced
Ctrl+B with SETI@home v8

3) For the last line/string ("Seti EH" - which is the name of the tab) switch to Unicode
Ctrl+Home
Ctrl+F for Seti EH (check Unicode)
(you will find something like S e t i  E H)
Over E type v
Over H type 8

Ctrl+S


What means?:
"I can't find the pacific lines"
"I'm using the problem recommended in the guide"


For AstroPulse no need change in .exe - only change in BOINC Rescheduler (in the box on AstroPulse tab):
astropulse_v6 to astropulse_v7

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain how to do this. I have taken the time to make the changes, for some reason it seems not to be working. Unfortunately I cannot post the log as I tried to make changes and now cannot open the application. Thanks again for your assistance. The application isn't recognised by PC

You changed some byte in wrong place, or used Ctrl+V which changes the size of the file which is bad for .exe (use Ctrl+B instead)
I always compare the original to the edited file to see differences and if they are OK

Delete this bad .exe
Just unpack again the boinc_rescheduler_2_7.zip

I used the backup copy of the application changes from V7 to 8 appear to have worked as it displays Seti V8.

I just tried transferring an AP unit from GPU to CPU and blog gives me the following errors:
13 February 2016 - 17:42:29 ERROR: Scan completed with an error.

I changed Astropulse_V6 Astropulse_V7 in version: box.

Message 1764602 - Posted: 13 Feb 2016, 13:56:02 UTC - in response to Message 1764550.  

This ERROR should be the same no matter if original or patched version.
(I remember similar reports ("Unable to make copy") also for SetiPerformance)

On Expert tab:
- check if BOINC Data directory is found OK (if not - set it manually)
- make manually and set some other Temp folder, e.g.:
C:\eFMer\BoincScheduler\

Don't try [Run] before [Test] is OK
Better exit BOINC manually before using [Run] button


I changed Astropulse_V6 Astropulse_V7 in version: box.

I'm not sure if Astropulse_V7 will work, make it:
astropulse_v7


changes from V7 to 8 appear to have worked as it displays Seti V8

Again: the patch is only for SETI@home, it will not affect AstroPulse

So the next info is only for SETI@home v8 tasks (the first tab):

The "Seti V8" text is just the name of the tab, do not affect functionality.
The important part is to change the string setiathome_enhanced to setiathome_v8

BOINC Rescheduler searches for those strings (setiathome_v8 astropulse_v7) in client_state.xml

If all is OK - on the first tab using [Test] will show the number of tasks:
Total #
VLAR #
VHAR #

If you have SETI@home v8 tasks but all numbers after [Test] are 0 - the patch from setiathome_enhanced to setiathome_v8 was not done correctly.

As BOINC Rescheduler can be run from any directory it will be convenient to make some sub directories e.g.
C:\eFMer\BOINC_Rescheduler\Original
C:\eFMer\BOINC_Rescheduler\Patch-1
C:\eFMer\BOINC_Rescheduler\Patch-2

You copy the Original .exe to Patch-2 and try again if needed.

The resulting string should be setiathome_v8 - Not SetiatHome_V8
Must end with 00 byte, Not spaces (which will look as 20 20 20 ... <- WRONG)

APs are coming soon. I just know it. The tape list is getting pretty short. Most of the last run was heavily-blanked, so my estimates are about half of what a non-blanked unit would be, which means I can totally rake in a full helping of 100 tasks...just as soon as new tapes are loaded and start being split.
