Yep, I started running the CUDA version on a GTX 260. Looks like it should do around 10,000 points a day.
To get work for the GPU I did have to set for the resource share for the project to that I would accept both GPU and CPU work. I had set it to just GPU and it would not get work. From their message board it looks like there is a problem on how this works. So far out of 42 WUs I have only had run one on the CPU and that one took 126 minutes. The ones on the GPU have an elaspe time of around 23 minutes with only a few secounds of CPU time.
I will stay on here till I get 100,000 points.

Have you seen my solution to the CUDA only on their message boards? :D
http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/forum_thread.php?id=35
Well AFIAK i takes BOINC up to 2 weeks to work out the projects "debt" so it might work later. I changed it earlier today to 0.1 day, but it still downloads 10 WU's.
Anyway, I haz a solution to BOTH problems.
I run rivatuner... so I go to the 'Schedule' tab on Rivatuner and I set it up to start a batch file when the GPU core temps drops below 60C (ie when all CUDA WU's are processed). Boinc will already be setup to NOT accept new taks.
The batch file that Rivatuner starts goes like this
chdir C:\program files\boinc\
boinccmd --project http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz allowmorework
boinccmd --project http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz update
ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 15000>nul
boinccmd --project http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz nomorework
That
1) Allows more work
2) Updates Project (ie. reports finished WU's + Download WU's)
3) Ping command serves as a delay of 15 seconds which is enough time to download my alotted WU's
4)Disallow new work.
The secret is that when ALL CUDA WU's are run, the 1st scheduler to operate is the GPU scheduler to download CUDA WU's. It takes about a minute for the CPU scheduler to kick in by which time the 'nomorework' command has kicked in. Hence I only ever get CUDA work.
That's what you call a Neat Kludge fix. :D
And it works for me, tested.
Have a nice day.

I looked at your WU's. You are lucky. You get paired up with decent wingmen to validate your WU's. I get paired up with mongo's who keep erroring the damn WU's. I've got pages and pages of pendings. :rolleyes:
EDIT: Update, the Admin said that he has made a new scheduler that will honor the No CPU selection. So we SHOULD be able to download only CUDA work without any shenanigans.

I'm pretty much done. :D I just realized that collatz has a gpu client, so I thought I would just check it out. Math/numbers projects are really not my thing, so you can have the lead back in a day or 2.....:up:
I ran a little bit of Aqua a couple of weeks ago, I guess. But seems they have discontinued their Gpu client for now. I just ran some Cpu WUs, but I started getting 190 hr WUs and the same points or less as the 30 min WUs. :down: They really need to get their stuff sorted out. :yepp:
Collatz is definitely worth some boinc points though. I ran ~24 hrs, showing 39K and still have a lot of pending validation results....

I'm trying to join to get this 4870X2 to do some work, but I don't want to take away from WCG projects because I feel they need the CPU runtime more. I've updated to the 6.10 BOINC client and downloaded and installed the "optimised" files for my system, but my 4870X2 still isn't doing anything, just my CPU cores.
Someone mentioned a "No CPU" selection above, but I can't see that option in either the BOINC Preferences menu or the Collatz online preferences settings. Help?

Ah, was looking under general preferences! And I sure hope it supports ATi, says so in the thread title and on the project page.
Hmm. Changed those preferences to use GPU only, BOINC tells me that I've got two ATi GPUs connected (true - 4870X2), but the Collatz stats page seems to think that the rig it's running on has no GPU attached, and despite multiple reboots of BOINC Collatz is still ignoring my GPU and running on CPU.

Have you read all the ATi threads on their board? have you renamed the brook.dll files etc? I don't have a ATi, so I'm not intimate with all the details...
SoulsCollective
08-27-2009, 02:49 AM
Brook.dll rings no bells at all, so probably not. I did need to rename a couple of .dll's in my System32 folder from ati.xxx.dll to amd.xxx.dll to get the optimised files working, but I couldn't see any requirements to change anything else on the forums - was there a specific link you were thinking of?

Right. I'm gonna say average WU points are ~160/WU. So you'll get 40 x 2 = 80 WU done a day. 80 x 160 = 12800PPD. :)

Collatz applicaton version 2.0 is being released. Credits will be adjusted within the next day or so. When that happens, any results submitted with the v1.10 applications will receive reduced credit. In the mean time, you may either continue to process the existing workunits knowing you will receive reduced credit or abort them and start new ones using the new application version.

Edit: Is anyone running any Stream cards under linux? If so, what, and what flavor of linux. I've got a gtx275 currently crunching on rc5 and it's running ubuntu 9.10 My stream stuff is on XP, but would like to get some running under linux to keep the operating system costs down.

yea were still here, but like you said weve got that big supercomputer race going on, so ive been clearing my other boinc out of the rigs, and am just running WCG now :)
hey glenn, are yoou going to shut down production on freehal? and race me on WCG for the week ?
ive got a small home pharm.... im pulling about 4000w from my ups for all the rigs, so its fairly efficeient.
lets see, im runnnig
3 quad socket, quad core 8356 optis
i7 920
xeon 5320
Q9550
Q6600
PII 955be
2 X24400
X2 3800
P4C presshott
thats my crunching rigs. now for my collatz
2 5770 hawk
2 4870
4650 agp
3850 agp
and these were on collatz but are going back on the grid

yup, just a home farmer myself. I've got 13 systems total at present, 2 x2-3800's, one dual C2D, and the rest intel quads. Gpu wise are 5 xfx5770's, 2 xfx4850's running between Collatz and rc5, one gtx275 running rc5, then just sitting on the bench is a 9800GTX+, a GTS250, and an xfx4650. I only keep the 5770's, 4850's and the 275 running cause of heat and juice - 8 systems. I'm also not running stuff on the quads cause it really jacks the heat up when the gpu's are going too, and heat is an issue in the room this stuff is in. And then there is the wifey-poo and the constant cheap shots about the monthly utility bill... :eek: So I've slowed down quite a bit and cut my bill in half. By sticking with the gpu's I can keep the output up without going nuts. And this way I still get to play with the DC stuff and keep the hobby going and also keep the home front somewhat mollified. :-)

I am already racing you and you are winning. Freehal and the other things I am running don't take much CPU time. Freehal take about 3 seconds of CPU time for almost a 2 hour work unit. I have everything I got on WCG so I won't be catching up to you.
After the week is out I think I will leave my quads on WCG and power down the dual cores. Before I saw the WCG thing I had just powered the dual cores off to save electricty and help control the extra heat. I also thinking of getting rid of the dual cores for something better. I don't even have an I7 yet.

<-- Just joined.
I may as well put my 4850 to work while the CPUs are busy with WCG. :)

How do you install optimized apps?
Do you just copy and paste all the files into the project folder?

Ive just started running collatz, I am point hunting on BOINC to be honest I just want to see whats the max I can squeeze outta this thing (press button see number :P) so right now im running both cpu and gpu on collatz and im doing this with SLI disabled.
Im trying to find a good combination of cpu and gpu to crunch for the most points , most likely ill switch the 295 back to gpugrid i dont think any other gpu apps would give more points direct me otherwise if there is something out there. Cpu im not sure at all what would be best right now running collatz lets see how it goes not sure what gives the most points on cpu either.

I don't crunch with you guys but I just received a 6870 GPU and thought ya'll might be interested in some numbers running on Collatz.
