Posted 18 Mar 2011 by halfempty Post: Thanks, that's what I thought. New app releases don't come around that often so it's not a big deal, but it must be a pain for you guys (developers/testers). |

Posted 18 Mar 2011 by halfempty Post: -hp - sets high priority class Is this a higher priority than other BOINC processes only, or is it higher than normal system processes? Also, is there any way to tell BOINC to re-read the app_info file, or do you have to restart the application? TIA |

Nvidia Gts 450 expectations
(Message 1081166)
Posted 25 Feb 2011 by halfempty Post: The app should be correct because some units get validadet. I'm running the GTS450 also with the same app and driver, but with AMD and Win7_64. I get a number of inconclusive results, but they almost always validate. I remember seeing 3 invalid results over the past month I've been running the card, but your friend has a bunch. The only thing that caught my eye is that his run times vary a lot more that mine. Were there any attempts at overclocking, or is there something else heavily competing with the card while it's crunching? I should have suggested to buy a ATI instead. I like ATI myself, but none of their newer cards that do double precision are in my price range, or fit in my case. |

Posted 19 Feb 2011 by halfempty Post: Don't have much $$$, but I'll be happy to contribute what little I can. If I may make a suggestion, instead of a single top of the line card, one each 5000 and 6000 series cards would help in testing apps for the different platforms. Also agrree with a previous poster, check what cards will fit. I am currently crunching on a GTS450 since I had to retutn the HD5830 I ordered because it wouldn't fit in my case with those power connectors in the back. |

Posted 29 Jan 2011 by halfempty Post: Thank you oh gods of MultiBeam! :-D Now that my HD5750 can crunch more than AP, I have to figure out what to do with the new GTS450 that arrived today. |

Posted 17 Jan 2011 by halfempty Post: I'm not sure that a p-III or p-4 can calculate a seti work within the deadline. Two months ago I retired (it retired itself) and OLD PII-450 I had running for a decade. Years ago I upgraded it to the "modern" BOINC software from Seti Classic and it always made its deadlines with no errors, even AP. Admittedly it took almost two weeks to process a single AP WU and had a whopping RAC of 40, but it made it! The temperature in the room went down a couple of degrees when the poor old beast died. :-) |

Posted 16 Jan 2011 by halfempty Post: Any Idea when this will be public? I was thinking of asking the same question. Wish I hadn't just ordered a 5830. Guess I can keep crunching AP until they run out and maybe the GPU gods will smile on us ATi users and it won't be too long. ;) |

Posted 1 Jan 2011 by halfempty Post: Hope everyone had/is having a great New Year!
If I may ask, what values did you change? I'm trying to run 2 AP WUs on an HD5750 using the r456 OpenCL app and am getting the same "Can't follow BOINC's proposal, will try to find free device.." error message. The second WU accrues time, but no progress until the first one finishes. The GPU averages about 34% with several periods of 0 activity during this time. |
