Post: OK, cheers for that - will see what I can find.. edit I have 18 slot folders!! Folder 0 is seti 1 is MW@home 2 is seti example output from stderr in folder 0 setiathome_CUDA: Found 3 CUDA device(s): Device 1: GeForce GTX 480, 1503 MiB, regsPerBlock 32768 computeCap 2.0, multiProcs 15 clockRate = 810000 Device 2: GeForce GTX 470, 1248 MiB, regsPerBlock 32768 computeCap 2.0, multiProcs 14 clockRate = 810000 Device 3: GeForce GTX 470, 1248 MiB, regsPerBlock 32768 computeCap 2.0, multiProcs 14 clockRate = 810000 setiathome_CUDA: CUDA Device 1 specified, checking...

WU true angle range is : 0.423779 will carry on looking at the others.. OK - I realise that each slot represents a task in progress - how can I link this to one of the tasks that took 57 mins? I presume that will be in the client_state xml? What do I need to look for to identify one of the long running tasks in the client_state xml? |

Post: You may have been swamped with a bunch of VLAR resends like I was after the prior outage was over. probably ghosts from a while back timing out, since new tasks don't issue VLARs to GPU )well not suppsoed to anyway ). Using Fred's rescheduler, it is showing me as having 14 VLAR's all assigned to the cpu? I assumed that meant that I had no VLAR's on the gpu? I had both my 470's clocked to 875 @ 1037mV, but the 480 won't go above 750 without producing errors |

Post: Is this normal or a symptom of a problem? Im seeing some cuda wu's take an hour to complete! I have no VLAR or VHARs assigned to the gpu GPU 1 = gtx480 GPU 2&3 = gtx 470 They were clocked alot higher, but I dropped off the clocks as temps were getting a bit high Is there an easy way to find out which card is crunching the longer units, to see if it the same card each time? GPU usage is in general around 85-90% on average..

Post: a gtx 460 can do 3 wu's in 30 ish mins when overclocked to 800Mhz, prices are around £140 for the basic model here over the pond from you... Might be a better idea than the 8800GT's.. Also, even allowing for overclocking, you would be better filling the machine with gpu's rather than going for the i7 as even a lowly 8800GT will beat an i7 for ppd |

Post: I was interested to see this on my rigs, but then got fed up clicking through all my pending - when you have 500K of pending, clicking through each page at 20 a time becomes too tiresome.. Thank you for that - tried playing around with the offset value in the address bar, but still showing 20 tasks at a time I tried http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?userid=79730&offset=220&show_names=0&state=2 then http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?userid=79730&offset=1-220&show_names=0&state=2 Which bit should I change? |

New rescheduler
(Message 1027327)
Posted 22 Aug 2010 by MadMaC
Post: I use the lunatics rescheduler - v 1.9 for moving vlar's from gpu to cpu and v 1.7 for moving vlars back to gpu - that was when we had the vlar storm and that was all I could get! Is there any advantage to using Frred's tool over the lunatics version, or am I better off sticking to what I know.. |

Post: Not sure why this is happening... I cant check the ones in the image as uploads aren't working but browsing through tasks for the machine I can see errors stating <core_client_version>6.10.56</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> - exit code -12 (0xfffffff4) </message> <stderr_txt> </stderr_txt> ]]>  The machine in question is http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=5424775 Im suspending cpu calculations for now and apologise to my wingmen :-( |

But are we??? Im curious as after nearly ten years of crunching, I have no idea what has been achieved.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-10959590 Has seti discovered anything by accident while searching for ET? After all these years and millions of wu's crunched, what has been the result? Im not ranting, my credit shows Im serious, but Im curious as to what they might have found as a by product of the search for ET. If so, where would it be announced? Have they found anything? |

Posted 9 Aug 2010 by MadMaC
Post: Im not sure if I have any, but my pending is shooting thrugh the roof so Im guessing that I do. Surely the best thing to do is just wait, and then the units will get resent out and then we will get the credit for them, but just a bit later than usual? Not quite sure I understand the concept to be honest... |

testing and benchmarking GPU performance
(Message 1021269)
Posted 31 Jul 2010 by MadMaC
Post: I want to find out how far I can push my 2 fermi cards (470 & 480). Im interested in finding out which works best 3 wu's a card or 2 wu's a card as its hard to tell at the moment with credit so screwed from the outage. Are there test wu's I can download and use to test performance.. What is the best way to benchmark performance? |

Post: How do you configure the flops value if you are running more than 1 type of fermi card - I have a 470 and a 480 in the same system.. Last thing I read, I saw mention advising against using flops for the fermi cards - has this now changed and it is now the way to go?? Thx |

Posted 26 Jul 2010 by MadMaC
Post: They have done away with the claimed credit column, what you are seeing is the CPU time. Im a muppet - I just noticed that - doh Still a massive difference though between various wu's Id expect one value range for the shorties and 1 for the longer wu's |

Post: Just been looking at my results for my fermi card and the claimed and granted credit are way out http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=5424775&offset=0&show_names=0&state=3 Is this normal - do I need to revert back to stock? Slightly concerned at the differences... Any one else seeing the same?? |
