Not sure of the gpu question, I haven't seen that happen or read anything about it. I found that with BOINC v7, there's a bug that throws BOINC v7 into high priority mode when you have a fairly high cache setting and tasks with less than a 10 day deadline, so lower the "minimum work buffer" a few days and see if they drop out of high priority model

I described this in:

The stats sites say I've stumbled into the top 1000 in Seti credits. The tortoise is still making some progress.

Agree with Tulio, you don't need virtual box, so I'd install the version without it.

First step should be to install the optimized apps. Then, edit the app_info.xml file with Notepad to change the count to .5 for 2 at a time, .33 for 3 at a time. The application details page says you once ran the optimized apps but are not running them now. Did you have a problem with them?

Another method is to create and use an app_config.xml file and set the counts the same way.

We don't know the freqency of updates, or whether an update routine has been writen. Probably still under construction and testing.

So, I'm going with plan "B" ... new card next chance. :)

Guy, have you asked the card manufacturer about it? They may be aware of it and may have a fix.

I suspect there may be more to come on this - perhaps badges for total credits or something. Seems to be "under construction" and perhaps that's why there has been no comment from the project.

Milkyway announced a badge system 2 weeks ago and expected to implement it within a few days, but has not done so. Perhaps they are the one that asked for web page changes to accomodate it.

For info, here's what Milkyway plans to implement. I think this is the latest, but there have been changes and I may not have one:


As a user, you can expect to have between 0 and 4 badges on your MW profile:

"Joined MilkyWay@home": This badge is awarded to everyone who crunches at least one work unit for our project, as a Thank You for helping out!

•"Credits Earned": This badge represents the latest credit milestone that a user has passed, ranging from 10,000 (10k) to 10 billion (10B).

•"Years of Service": This badge displays the number of years that a user has been with MilkyWay@home! (The first of these badges is acquired after one full year)

•"Special Contribution": This badge goes to anyone who has donated hardware, money, significant expertise, or service towards the project.


I think it is interesting that Milkyway went for total credits and years of crunching, and so far SETI has gone for RAC.

And we have a bit of AP on the barbi for Christmas!

Tidings of joy!

Guy, something's wrong, try another driver for that 650 TI.

Do the BOINC upgrade before you install that gpu. I would suspend all processing on the activity menu before I shut down for the gpu install. That will give you a chance to install the drivers, etc. before BOINC decides the gpu is not usable. You will want to rerun the Lunatics installer and select the cuda 50 application versus the cuda 32 you are running.

I saw something odd:
First post says:
It's Windows 7 with 8gb of memory in it

but the computer's details page says:
Memory 2038.3 MB

If you do have 8 gb, what does BOINC see in the startup messages?

Not sure this matters.
153) 留言板 : Number crunching : CPU usage while GPU crunching (消息 1456689)

Post:
Not sure what's causing the high cpu time, maybe someone else will spot it.

Here's two thoughts that may contribute to that high time:

1.) Three at a time is ambitious for that gpu with v7. My 670 works best at two at a time. Try that to see if it helps and wait to test 3 at a time until you get repeated good results. 3 may be okay for astropulse, you'll have to experiment.

2) Increase the priority of the gpu tasks from the default (below normal) to above normal by editing the mbcuda.cfg file. There is text in that file to help understand the syntax. The file is in your Seti@Home directory. I'd leave the other settings at default values until you have a track record with those settings.

AFAIK the splitter status has shown the following for at least two days and probably longer.

20jn12ac 50.20 GB (14) (done

That file has been stuck for several months and has been mentioned several times in the Panic Mode thread. It was "unstuck" a few weeks ago, but did not complete and is stuck again.

Last time contacted server 23 Dec 2013, 8:06:00 UTC

If you installed that gpu after that last contact, it will be repored on the next update. Look at the event log and see what it says on startup.

If you instaled cuda 50 but had some cuda 32 tasks on hand, it is just getting rid of those and new work will be labeled cuda 50. Look at the stderr reports on your task page, or post a link to it so we can verify and look at the cpu times.

Yes it seems that someone kicked something, work starting to flow again.

And MultiBeam ready to send is heading down - now at 153,070 at the 21:30 UTC update. Can't believe that creation rate of 100/second with only 3 PFB splitters actually doing something.

! :-( !!

Add to that, the forum pages load a lot slower than usual...


! They're okay for me.


They had been a problem for me but they just started loading. I'm also getting the "Can't connect" and "internal HTTP server error" messages, and just had a timeout for first time in a long time. That one reported 2 completions but did not generate any ghost tasks.

Update: My last two work requests connected and I got one Ap task. I have prefs set for AP only so there may be MB tasks. Cricket just took off saying work is flowing.

This computer http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=5355835&offset=0&show_names=0&state=5&appid= is just having too many invalids. This all started with a stuck download as in thread http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=73521. I have been watching this computer and something is just not right. I am looking for some guidance. Thanks

Bill, I had hoped someone with the magic answer would have responded by now. I'm not sure of the cause, but maybe we can eliminate some possibilities:
1) What are the gpu temperatures? Are you controlling those?
2) Have you rebooted after the problem started?
3) Anyone have ideas?

Does the upgrade of boinc mean I need to reinstall the Lunatics apps ?

No, if you don't change the location of the data directory.
