HELP!! Windows 7 problem - System Check

Post: ya i succeed to update it : via a CD RW 74mins. Did you try running the render test in GPU-Z to see if that changed anything? The text in that says "One of these functions reduces the PCI-Express link speed & width to lower levels to conserve power when the card is idle. This is why you might see undesired values in GPU-Z's bus interface readout." Worth a try? -Dave |

If you're talking about over-all Boinc RAC, then I'm in that club, and I'm only running 3 machines and all 3 average only about 12 hours of crunching per day... -Dave |

Um, I think it would be more accurate to say just over 150,000 active users and 225,000 active computers.... Still a lot, but not quite the "millions" above. -Dave |

Post: (how to you tell the time after the AP has finished? I always get my timing from when it says something like 66% done and we are at 10 hours of run time, so to finish would be another 5 hours). Just look at the tasks page for that computer, you can click on the "Astropulse v505" header to narrow down to just those, and you can see the times reported in the "Run time" and "CPU time" columns. If you click on the task in the "task" column, you can then look to see if it finished normally or exited early, and you can see the blanking percent. Looks like the ones there now ran just under 15 hours to about 16 3/4 hours (the longest one has a lot of blanking in it). -Dave |

ddr3 ram?

Post: Any one had issues with running video card fans at 100% 24/7? If you can take the noise level... I think I've had one OEM fan die on me from that, and one set of fans on an Accelero Extreme 5870, but in both cases it took something like a year to happen. Didn't kill the cards when the fans died, luckily I noticed because of the sound change (lack in one case, clicking in the other). -Dave |

Post: Well, I'm pretty sure 1 of the GPUs on 1 of my GTX 295's is not working :( You can put entries into a cc_config file, or create one if you don't already use one, like this: <cc_config> <options> <ignore_nvidia_dev>0</ignore_nvidia_dev> </options> </cc_config> Or if it's not dev 0, you can change the 0 to whatever device it is. cc_config info -Dave |

Lunatics Windows Installer v0.39 release notes
(Message 1174681)
Posted 30 Nov 2011 by dnolan
Post: I just noticed this when checking a few results (from my one machine that I've updated to Lunatics 39 and using ATI on) - this is the entire stderr: <core_client_version>6.12.33</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <stderr_txt> </stderr_txt> ]]> That seems interesting, though all the results I've seen this in were marked as valid and got credit. Skildude, on my machine, using Cat 11.3 and an HD5870 running 2 instances on it, I have found 25 03no11 results that were not -9, just as a data point for you. I have seen a -9 (only one, but I may have missed some that are gone from my list now), it was on a 14oc11 task. -Dave |

Still crunching, even in the face of Irene
(Message 1146208)
Posted 28 Aug 2011 by dnolan
Post: Wouldn't the socially responsible thing to do during an event like Irene be to shut down and save the power grid in your community a little stress for a few hours? Pretend it is a wu-shortage at Berkeley if you like. I know it may be small, but every little bit helps. (God help me, I sound like a socialist!) I figure if the power is still on we should use it, you know, to make sure the power companies don't go broke... -Dave |

Post: ...this zipusing an HD3850 - yes. What result did you get - I got gobblydygook. Ray, I assume you're talking about the zip file I posted a link to. There aren't instructions, but what you want to do is go to a command prompt in windows (I assume that's what you're using), and run the program from the zip file (clinfo.exe - after it's been extracted). So if you download it to c:\temp\clinfo.zip and extract it there, depending on the program you use to extract it, you'll get c:\temp\clinfo\clinfo.exe Go to Run in XP or the search box in Win 7 and type "cmd" and enter, that should open a command prompt. You'll get a lot of info displayed to screen when you run it, but what you want to look for is a line that says: Max work group size: followed by something. If you don't feel like searching through the text, try clinfo | find /I "work group" assumning you're in the dir you extracted clinfo to. Here's what it looks like on my system: c:\temp\clinfo>clinfo | find /I "work group" Max work group size: 256 Max work group size: 256 Max work group size: 1024 The first 2 on my system are from the 2 GPUs I have installed, the third is from the CPU. Most likely on your system, you will only get one line, but if you get 2, I think the GPU(s) always come before the CPU... In any case, if you're not sure, just go by the lowest number you see, it should be over 128 (as mine are above). I hope that's simple enough for you, -Dave |

Post: Ray, I don't think it's necessary to be capable of double precision, but it is necessary to be capable of OpenCL and with a workgroup size of over 128, there is a link to this zip on the Lunatics site that can tell you if the card is capable of that. You can look here for more information on the latest Lunatics installer. From the readme: For cards without OpenCL support (from HD2xxxx on) use the 'hybrid' r453 Astropulse application. NB this is a combined CPU/GPU application and will only use the GPU for some of the calculations, while doing the rest on a CPU core. Minimum driver version Catalyst 9.x. HTH, -Dave |
