All sorts of projects..

I need to be up in 4 hours, Maybe one of the others can put together a complete all projects app_info from the ones we have here for you (we normally don't need it because we haven't enough cores) :)
ok MM ...
1. Change your WCG profile to only run hcc and hcc gpu
2. Abort all of the other unstarted non-hcc cpu tasks
3. While we wait for the non-hcc cpu tasks to finish out we'll get some basics in place
4. Make a folder somewhere not in the BOINC structure
5. Copy the following files into the new folder from \BOINC\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org
5a. hcckernel.cl.6.56
5b. wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86__ati_hcc1
5c. wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86
6. In the new folder make a file named app_info.xml
6a. Make the file with notepad but make sure to change the file type to "All Files" when you save
7. copy the following into the app_info file
Code:<app_info>

We'll pick up again once the old non-hcc cpu tasks finish up.
Please post back with the name of the new folder you created so I can use its real name for you.
8. Once the non-hcc cpu tasks are finished, uploaded, and reported - fully stop boinc.
9. Copy the app_info.xml file into the worldcommunitygrid.org folder
10. Verify that the files from step 5 still exist in the worldcommunitygrig.org folder
10a. If they are missing you can copy them from the *new* folder into worldcommunitygrid.org
11. Restart BOINC.
12. If you have any issues please post up the messages from the event log.
"We'll pick up again once the old non-hcc cpu tasks finish up"
No, give me the rest! :D
see above :)
OK I've had absolutely no hangs since the driver change to 12.11b4 so we're good there.
However, I keep having the client randomly start processing some HCC units on the CPU, get a unit (or two, or three) about halfway done, then essentially abandon it to run 8 GPU threads again and it just lets the half-run unit expire. Any ideas what is up with that?
Sparky,
Have you by chance selected the: " If there is no work available for my computer for the projects I have selected above, please send me work from another project." option in the profile for that particular device.
Cheers,
Jean-Guy
No I haven't. What gets me is they are all HCC units, including the ones that started on the CPU. I'm just not sure what is triggering it to start them on the CPU in the first place, just to essentially abandon them halfway through later :confused:
Are you are using an app_info that has both hcc_cpu and gcc_gpu and it is configured to run 8 GPU WUs at the same time? That would cause this issue as it is asking for cpu WUs but has no good way to actually run them so I'm guessing they only run when they hit high priority or your GPU cache runs low, or if you are manually suspending some GPU WUs to try and get them to not all be sync'd. I would switch to using an hcc_gpu only app_info. Don't forget to set NNT, abort all CPU WUs, stop BOINC fix your app_info and then restart.
This app_info.xml GPU only file is getting 86 results an hour (2128 results and 482,698 points total for yesterday only) from my FX-8150 and dual HD-6990's rig:
Two threads per GPU for a total of eight, one per each CPU core.

Here is my app_info I pulled from another thread. Looking at it I'm thinking it is a CPU+GPU :doh:
So this is what it would have to look like for GPU only?Code:<app_info>

Trying to build a master file from all the posts on this so far here before I get a shower and go to work. If anyone has time on their hands and would like to proof read for duplication etc. it sure would help. No HFCC so far.

I started running out also and had just finished switching my rigs around when they started showing up again ... all reset back to optimal gpu crunching :sigh:
I'm letting my current log of CPU units work through then switching it over to full GPU again. Means my PPD will be down in the tank for a little while however. I just don't really want to abort several dozen units.
Hey guys I need some help here, can't get any WU's to my 6990+6970(in the same rig):yawn:
I'm using this in my APP_INFO:XML
But I get no WU's and this in the logPHP Code:<app_info>

The problem is that you don't have the necessary executable files

so what you can do it fully stop BOINC, remove the app_info (I just rename it to __app_info.xml) and restart BOINC. Once you have some tasks downloaded and running fully stop BOINC again, put the app_info file back in place and restart. I like to keep copies of the executables in a separte folder also so I can easily restore them if necessary.
I would try 8 if not only to try and increase production but also to just to see the sheer awesomeness of an SR2 shine!!!

Running 8 GPU WU's on each core(Tried 4 and 6 with mostly the same result) on an SR-2 with 12 GB HyperX at 1830MHz and CPU's at 4,4GHz(24x183)
Tried to lower CPU and memory speed, no change from what I can see.
Well where the second message says "ERROR: Kernel execution time estimate too high, exiting." I believe you are simply running too many WUs per cpu and the gpu kernel is starving thus believing it is taking too long and has stopped responding. You might be able to get some relief by turning the Windows watchdog off via registry but at this point I would reduce the number of concurrent WUs to see if that helps.
By running this app_info we are forced to run only hcc cpu and gpu wu? We cant run hcc gpu wu and allo other types of wu on cpu?
You can run gpu for hcc and cpu for other projects. The other projects need to be added to the app_info file though. There's a way to do it in this thread I believe but, I don't remember for sure now. Maybe others will comment.
Thanks for your answer. if anyone could create such a file it would be great. Im used to run all projects. Why do you run only hcc?
Well HCC is the only one that supports GPU, so that was the first one messed with in the app_info to get it at max efficiency. This really is the first time the app_info has been ever used, so it is all pretty new.
It's quite a bit of work to pull all of the information necessary to run "all projects".
Take a look at post #115 of this thread ... OldChap has put togterh a file that has most of the projects, maybe you could test it and let us know if it works properly.
To avoid polluting the other post thread I continue here, which seems better appropriate.
Movieman, the directory you just displayed in your post in my system has the following path:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Boinc/
And the final directory where I have inserted the app_info.xml file is:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Boinc/projects/www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
I have no directory named Program Data . I use Windows Win7 Ultimate SP1.
I have indeed a directory named C:/Program Files/Boinc/
but in this directory you have the Boinc executable files and there is no projects subdirectory.
The c:\programdata directory is probably hidden and explorer is set to not display system/hidden files.
You can change this in explorer -> Organize-> Folder and search options -> View
edit :
Since you are adding a app_info file, I think that all current tasks will disappear and the boiinc client will download new ones. Happend to me the first time I added a app_info file so after that I set the client to "No new tasks" and let it finish the current workunits.
forum is slow as h311. is it me?
Anyway, I came home from work today and my two gpu only machines were not retrieving work. One was sitting idle (the ati one).
Anyone else having problems getting new work?
Also, does anyone know how to add gpu beta to the app info?
Hello my87csx481,
XS Forum speed OK on the 2 rigs I operate. Note that if you have BOINg manager doing high GPU and/or CPU work it will slow down your browsing markedly.

I had to remove the app_info because of the beta work units, and it's working again.
We are going to need to watch this closely ... if there are new executables associated with the beta that get promoted to production we are going to need to download them and it they are changing the version number so we will need to update our app_info files.
With great crunching comes great responsibility.
Is there someone who can host the new executables when it comes time so we don't all have to temporarily drop app_info and pull the new executables individually?
Yep, remove your app_info and restart boinc. Abort the beta WUs and allow no new tasks. Also, make sure you opt out of the beta testing on the WCG site otherwise you will run into this again.
Side note, looks like we will have to update our app_info soon because the beta was for GPU and CPU HCC. Looks like version 705.
Same here...

I ended up having to do it a couple times. Seems okay for now. Also had to untick beta for my gpu profile.
Thanks guys for the confirmation.
+1000 for gpu thread count control in Tools -> Computing Preferences
Has anyone let the beta run? It definitely is different from the current!
Thanks. It worked. Yippy! :party:
I did let the betas run thinking it would give more points for being beta... Oh well!
The new/beta work units are just 2 work units run in serial. The first goes to 50% and then runs the second wu to 100%.
dangaroos is right. I indeed have a hidden ProgramData file. Now everything works perfectly. Thanks all for your replies and patience, and for those that submitted the xml files.:up:
My HD 7970 boards now crunch happily 8 gpu threads in parallel plus 4 CPU threads.:)
I also successfully crunched GPU beta WU's.
Indeed. The worst is the GTX680. A real laggard. Running two in parallel brings nothing as elapsed time is double.
The GTX 580 is already faster per thread and you have a gain running two in parallel, this gain is about 150%. Running more brings nothing.
The Ati HD7090 is a real winner. It is already at least twice as fast per thread as a GTX 580, and you have a full gain up to 4 threads is parallel again measuring elapsed time. With 8 threads you have no more gain any more and everything on top brings nothing. This is without any OC.
Maybe you have similar results.
I have found a small benefit from running 2 parallel on NVIDIA .... the trick is to not have both start processing at the same time ... if they are offset by 50% runtime you can get an overall improvement of 5-10%
Did anyone save the executables for the beta? If they only change the name of the file when going to production I think was can just drop the new files in, update app_info and restart.

Beta info per Uplinger on WCG Forum:
Quote:
Greetings,
We will be doing a new Beta test later today for multiple images in a single work unit. This will be a two part test.
1. Test a regular batch of 1536 work units in their current state ( 1 image ). This will test the new version of the code still works and the new assimilators/validators work.
2. Test 5 batches of 768 work units. So 2 images per work unit. 3840 total work units.
These two tests will make sure that we can just change out the science app without having to stop the project.
This version will be 7.05.
Thanks,
-Uplinger
now it runs fine a while
then
2108 World Community Grid 9.11.2012 20:58:55 [error] No app version found for app faah platform windows_intelx86 ver 640 class ; discarding faah36463_ZINC24782239_xh2_xtal_02_0
The beta is now complete. https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.or...d_thread,34225
I now have both CPU and GPU 7.05 wus running on my only none app info computer.Quote:
Greetings,
We have updated the science application for Help Conquer Cancer. This application change will allow work units to process multiple images. The purpose of this change is to increase the average runtime of the work units and decrease the server scheduler requests.
This will be a two part change.
1. The application will be released and process single image work units.
2. In about 3 days we will start sending multiple image work units.
The application version being loaded is 7.05.
Thanks,
-Uplinger
Followed the post from branjo on the WCG board
My cache was dry so I just stopped boinc, renamed app_info (to xapp_info so it would not be used) did the edit, started boinc so it would download 7.05 wus, selected no new tasks, aborted CPU wus, stopped boinc, renamed back to app_info and restarted boinc.Quote:
1. copy app info file outside the current location (e.g. to the Desktop)
2. change all 6.56 to 7.05 and 656 to 705 in it
3. detach all 6.56 WU's
4. detach and re-attach WCG
4.a. detach all new WU's
5. close BOINC
6. copy updated app info file to its folder
7. start BOIN
And it worked
First post updated to include 7.05's.
I had to go back to no app info to get things started but at that time I had already had failed units as this was before I changed the app_info file
Old Chap,
Can you confirm that we are to use the full revised ATI GPU app_info.xml post? It seems to have bothh 6.56 (top) and 7.05 (bottom file numbers in it.
Thanks,
Jean-Guiy
I left it like that for today in case anyone has the older WU's (unlikely but still) I would say everybody can delete the first part (6.56) tomorrow but that is just my view.
Old Chap,
Thank you for the quick answer. Leaving in the 6.56 for a while seems like a good plan just in case 6.56 ATI hcc priority WUs reappear in the days to follow to complete the transition to 7.05. I will do the same as you. I have about 20 mins of 6.56 left to be processed. I have selected "no new tasks" and I am waiting for their completion. Once that is done I will go through the update procedures to switch to your revised app_ino.xml file for ATI 7.05 HCC.
Thanks again for quick reply,
Jean-Guy
I thought by just dropping the app_info file for my 2 computers that run both CPU and GPU (there were no GPU wus in cache) that it would continue running the 6.56 CPU and pickup 7.05 GPU but instead it discarded all 6.56 and only downloaded 7.05.
Someone pointed out that each of these new wu are claiming over 200 pts each.
Dang. Got home, no units for a while :( updating app-info...
soo, i have trouble with the app_info thing again. it tells me "resend lost task X....." and just after that "[error] no app version found for task X.... ver7.05" when i delete the app_info it works dls a lot of wu but does them only single threaded. once i close boinc, it deletes all wu and tries to start new with said messages.
Dont know what i am doing wrong....
Old Chap,
I have switched to your new combined 656/705 ATI app_inf file for GPUs only. Got quite a few unwanted non HCC WUs from other projects upon first restart without app_info besides HCC 7.05 WUs and a few ATI GPU 7.05 WUs. Unwanted WUs likely due to me ticking the "Send me other WUs if the one I have selected are not available. I have now removed that option form my WCG profile.
I aborted all non HCC WUs. I am waiting for 6 regular HCC WUs to complete before switching over to your revised App_Info.xml file. ATI GPUs WUs seem to complete in approximately the same time as their 6.56 predecessors.
Jean-Guy
They changed the app version for HCC. I tried to change that in the app_info file, but couldn't get it to work. I will try again tomorrow. Back to one WU now.
Here's how I got it to work.
1. Let all of your version 6.56 finish. If they already have then do the following.
2. When the 656 task are done or you're already done with them shut down boinc.
3. Edit the app_info file by replacing 705 everywhere you see 656. Be careful of where to use and not use decimal points. Do all this without removing the file from the project folder.
4.Save the changes.
5. Rename the file app_info.txt
6.Restart boinc and let it download some new tasks. Let it finish one but suspend the rest then shut down boinc again
7. Go back and change the app_info file extension back to .xml
8. Restart boinc and resume 1 task at a time to make sure you're app_info file has the correct syntax. If they resume ok then resume them all. Let boinc download new tasks on its' own. No need to pound on the update button. Done
Got the app_info to work here with the new 7.05 WU's, running 8 on my 7970 now:up:
Yup mine is fixed now too. Didn't take too much to fix it but still a little depressing to come hope to an empty queue.
Hello Folks,
For those of you who decide to update to the new ATI GPU hcc 7.05 file format using Bun-Bun's revised ATI GPU only app_info file posted on the first page of this thread.
Remember that it contains both the 6.56 and 7.05 app_info file details. When you set the decimal count for number of WUs you want you per GPU, remember that you will have to do so in both the 6.56 and 7.05 count setting lines of the file.
I am now using the subject revised app_info file and it is working great crunching 8 ATI hcc 7.05 WUs concurrently with no problems.
Thanks for the good work Bun-Bun...!!!
FYI,
Jean-Guy
I was wondering why my rigs ran dry of WUs, then I found out about the new HCC version. Thanks guys for all the help!
Thank You guys for keeping all of us up to date. The minute I have any issues, I can just log onto this forum, look at a couple of threads and whammo, there is the solution. You guys are the best!!!!
No HFCC, HCMD, DSFL so far but the rest of the apps for app_info are moved to the first post (coloured)
Please, if you see any others, post 'em here :up:
Thank you OldChap...
Excellent gathering in a single location of a diversified choice of app_info files.
U're the man.....
Is anyone here using an app_info with XP 32 bit to run multiple HCC GPU tasks? Mine is not cooperating.
if you are using one cpu+gpu did you change the project name "wcgrid_gfam_vina_6.12_windows_x86_64" and the platform "windows_x86_64" to the equivalent (i dont know if the project would automatically dl 32bit wus)
they might have switched gpu to 64bit only, but idk. sorry
Hi, I just got done reading all 8 pages of the thread and I started with 2 aspirin and now have a bigger headache cause I don't read very well the script syntax I use to do more hardware 7 years ago and am getting back in at the enthusiast level and would like to help out on the WCG cancer project and I could use your help.
I have the parts on order except for the processor and I'll get that in a week.
The build is Gigabyte 7950s two of them at present
The platform is Intel Socket 2011 a 4-way CrossFireX capable motherboard.
Now at first I didn't know how fast a wu could be processed so I figured I'd need multiple 7950 but someone pointed out a wu took 15 seconds on a single 7950. (I think this was on the old wu).
Then yesterday someone referred to this forum and that cores were more important so I canceled my order of a i7 3820 4/8 and that a i7 3930 6/12 was a better choice.
So what is your opinion on the cpu get the 12 threads and one less graphic card 3 instead of 4 or is 2 overkill as it is? Also how many wu past 12 can be done at one time?
Then can you help me out with the script, does it need to be different for CrossFireX and TriFireX?
Which build do I need to get from Berkley and what is the web address?
Thanks for your experience and help.
Bruce
Bruce,
If you can afford it get the i7 3930 CPU with a good 2011 motherboard, some top of the line RAM sticks and at least 2 X 7950 or two 7970 cards.
This will likely allow you to run 10 to 12 thread WCG hcc v7.05 WUs per card for a total of 20 to 24 WUs concurrently for the rig. Your production will be outstanding. The most prolific cruncher on the Xtreme cruncher team, Stoneageman, uses such a rig with the app_info onboard.
Thermalright Silver arrow SB_E HSF
i7 3930K CPU
MSI BigBang Xpower II, Intel X79 MB
2 X (3 gig MSI Radeon 7970)
8gig (2x4) Corsair Vengance
Silverstone Strider 1500 W PSU
He is presently running 12 HCC GPU WUs per card in that mentioned rig using app-info file with a count of 0.083 and and nCPU of 0.49.
The system appears costly at first but you will get a small footprint rig that will likely produce like 2 other rigs running on a CPU with less cores/threads avail.
FYI,
Happy shopping,
Jean-Guy
I can't answer all of your questions so I'll do what I can
Here is the latest version of BOINC that I would recommend. There is a newer version but I have not tried it. Maybe others who have can chime in.
As for the CPU, the i7-33930 6/12 is the better choice. How many tasks you can run simultaneously is pretty much a trial and error thing. Since I don't run multiple GPUs on one mobo there are others here more qualified to give you advice on that.
As for video cards, twin 7970s might be a better way to go than tri or quad 7950s. That's JMHO. Whatever you chose do not run them in crossfire mode. If you game and use CF then just disable it for GPU crunching.
Drivers are a big part of the equation also. The 12.11beta4 ATI drivers seem to be working the best for now but they are always being updated so you need to keep up with that.
What PSU are you planning to use? That is one area you don't want to skimp on. Whatever you chose I would recommend something in the area of 1000/1200 watts+ 80 gold certified. Most PSUs run with the best efficiency at 50-55% of rated power so do your homework.
When you get it all together and running it should be a monster. Good luck and I hope this will help you get started.
Anyone else notice that they went back to 6.56 again? My queue ended up empty again today. Also, whatever they did to them made them run a lot slower it seems and I have horrible display lag running 8 again which I haven't for a long time :shrug:
*edit* nevermind what I said about the longer process times. Seems it didn't initialize properly the first time. However it still is 6.56 units and I got some 7.05 again. Weird. I modded my app_info to include both versions. Hopefully it doesn't try to do 8x 6.56 and 8x 7.05 units, that could be bad lol.
Yeah. I had a bunch of 6.56 get downloaded, so it ran those, then when those were done it kept going with the 7.05 units now in the queue. So far 8 units at a time as well, regardless of version.
I have only one <app> section at the very top for hcc1, then after that it has 4 instead of 2 <file_info> sections. The first pair for 7.05, second pair for 6.56. Then two <app_version> parts. Again, first is for 7.05, second for 6.56.
*edit* I just bumped my 7950 from 900MHz to 1GHz. We'll see how it does. I've seen a lot of positive reports from people running theirs at that speed, and mine is also watercooled so temps are a non-issue as well. I'd love to break into 800,000 per day :DCode:<app_info>

I took the 6.56 out of mine the other day. Hope that wasn't a mistake.
I'm now getting "project temporarily shut down for maintenance" in my event log.
I was down to my last 8 hcc 7.05 WUs and worried. WUs just started flowing again coming in in bunches 15-19 WUs per uploads.
I was down to 8 as well (on my 7950) before they started flowing again, what's really funny is that my 2 computers without the app_info never got any 6.56 wus.
Just got mine all working again with this.

This for 10 at time. Adjust the

<max_ncpus>1.0</max_ncpus>
and
<count>.10</count>
to fit your machine for each app version. So far so good. Got new 705 versions to download again even after the 656 versions were done. Still get a 656 now and then. Empty caches freak me out.:eek:
Thank you very much nanoprobe,
I am going to change my app_info file to a slightly modded version of yours. Looks like 6.56 hcc WUs have been trying to download to my rig in bunches of 8 to 10 for about 5 hours from 16 Nov 2012 19:36 UTC to 17 Nov 02:03 UTC. I have had none for the last 45 minutes.
error for them was : "no app version found for...ver 6.56...: discarding"
Looks like Bun-Bun was right about keeping a 6.56 and 7.05 combined app_info file just in case the 6.56 ghost came back.
- boinc_7.0.36_windows_intelx86.exe
- boinc_7.0.36_windows_x86_64.exe
Is this the correct version, and which of these two do I use on a Intel Socket 2011?
The two Gigabyte 7950s arrived in the the mail today.
