YVW. We're all in this together. My app-info might be a little overkill but I was trying to make sure I covered all the possibilities.Quote:

So here is the problem:
17/11/2012 02:58:23 | World Community Grid | [error] App version returned from anonymous platform project; ignoring
17/11/2012 02:58:23 | World Community Grid | [error] No app version found for app hcc1 platform windows_intelx86 ver 656 class ati_hcc1; discarding X0960073631347200608011011_4
A job gets assigned that uses the old app version.
The host is anonymous platform, so it ignores the app version sent.
The host can't find app version that matches the platform, version num and plan_class so it discards the job
The problem is that discarding the job does not report to the server that the client isn't running it. Thus the job is still assigned to you.
Next request to the server, you get sent the job again. This continues.
Even worse, each time the job is sent to you the deadline for the job is re-evaluated and possibly slightly increased. Thus it can potentially never pass its deadline.
When I started digging into this problem today, there were a lot of computers who were repeatedly being resent the same jobs.
This issue occurs when all three of app_info.xml is used, homogenous_app_version and resend_results.
Resolving this issue for the long run is going to be somewhat tricky. As a result, what I am doing now is changing the app_version on the workunits to all be at the 705 level. The new binaries are backward compatible so this shouldn't be an issue. This should return life to normal for now.
Thanks for the above clarification Nanoprobe.
Are you still rercommending BOINC app manager V 7.0.36 beta or is 7.0.38 the one to go for now?
I'm still using 7.0.36. I may try the .38 version but the.36 has been so problem free I'm reluctant to experiment. My guinea pig machine is sitting right next to me on the bench so I'll probably give it a go later today.Quote:

2. In BOINC Manager "preferences/Disk & memory usage/memory usage" What % settings do you recommend for the "comp in use" and "at idle" settings? (Default appears to be 50% and 75%)
Best regards,

Yes, I'm still using it as posted. I'm of the mind if it's working, don't mess with it.Quote:

There are some of the WCG CPU projects that are pretty memory intensive(forget which ones) and I would get the occasional waiting for memory on the XP box running 8 WUs at a time but since I'm only running the GPU app and limited to running only a single task memory is not an issue.Quote:

So, the way I see it is this: Get your selected project running on rig without any app_info. go to your client state file and print it out maybe. using the above info try to make the conversions.
run the app_info you built and see if it works. repeat until it does :D
Is it possible to address more tasks/CPU core with app_info settings? I tried taking the SN2S and edited it for AMD and changed average nCPUs inside the SN2S code to 0.5 and still 4 threads total run on this CPU. Is there a way to change this with app_info?
If I understand correctly you're trying to assign more CPU tasks than you have CPU cores available. If so there is no way I know of to do that. You can assign more GPU tasks than you have CPU cores if that is your goal.Quote:

I have cpu usage set to 100%, HHC and search for leish as selected projects, but with the app_info.xml I only get HCC units. Would like to switch the 2 cores from f@h to BOINC.

Change how many cpu threads BOINC allows:
cc_config.xml
<ncpus>N</ncpus>
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Cc_config.xml
Quote:
Act as if there were N CPUs; i.e. to simulate 2 CPUs on a machine that has only 1. To use the number of available CPUs, set the value to -1 (was 0 which in newer clients really means zero to e.g. only allow GPU computing).

Evantaur:
This pause in GPU work has allowed me to test the coloured app_info in the first post.
I removed the nVidia info (I have Ati) and the dividing lines between each project then ran it as my rig ran out of work.
So, now I have set GPU to run 8 threads on 6 cores leaving 2 cores to sweep up the cpu work later.
As my GPU work ran out BOINC just started to allow cpu work on those cores too.
About the only thing I am unable to do is set GPU to download a full 400 units when the work becomes available again.
Anyone had any joy yet with the remaining <info's> (HFCC, HCMD, DSFL)??? If not I will likely start on that tomorrow.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I did the following
Tidy the coloured app_info from the first post as mentioned above then hold in notepad
Remove the existing app_info.
Change my "home" profile to include all except HFCC, HCMD, DSFL and then allow cpu work then put the rig on this profile. Make sure I only have 0.5 days cache set both in profile and on rig
Stop BOINC then re-start in normal running mode whereupon it downloaded a bunch of cpu wu's (0.5 days worth).
Allow the rig to work these first new wu's for a few minutes (about 10)
Copy the file held in notepad into worldcommunitygrid. org folder as app_info.xml
Pause and then exit BOINC.
Re-start Boinc and "run always"

Nanoprobe said to turn off the CrossFire when not gaming... is that correct? Does that mean I need 2 app_info files? or 2 boinc programs running at the same time for the two 7950 video cards or what?
Also in a post I read "And they did warn us that they could not guarantee that GPUs (specifically AMD GPUs) would be used in future projects..."

Can anybody expound ... is it because OpenCL 1.0 is in AMD card hardware and not 1.1?
Bruce
do any app_info files work for AMD APU's?
I would recommend you turn crossfire off when you're crunching. If you game you can turn it back on for that. You will need only 1 app_info file and 1 boinc program running for both cards. Some people have a problem with boinc seeing both cards. If that happens to you there is a simple fix but we'll wait to see if you have the problem before posting the fix.Quote:

Jean-Guy If you look you will see this is only the app and app version.
If this is working and you go to the colored app_info files in first post you should be able to paste this into that file after the last </app_version> and before the </app_info>
Curious about 2. too
Thanks for the above info OldChap. I am now running a stress test on my GPU crunching rig. When it is successfully completed I will likely switch the app_info file to depict the info that you and Retro77 have provided (likely using modded 1 for <max ncpus>).Quote:

When posting goto Go Advanced next to Post Quick Reply and at top of page with the options for Bold and underline etc towards the right side you will see # which wraps Code tags around whatever text etc that you write.
Of course you can type it straight in too using [ code ] and [ /code ] (without the spaces)
I am running that full app_info on one rig right now and it is crunching CPU just fine....then when it gets an odd GPU task or two it picks those up and runs them too in a similar fashion to running without an app_info. If a bunch of GPU tasks arrive it should revert to running GPU but with a core set aside for completing the cpu work. Once GPU is running I will go to the profile that this rig runs on and de-select the projects that run cpu etc.

edit: with the recent word that HCC GPU tasks are trickling in, I am going to add the HCC info to the top. Is there any mods I need to do to the DFSL section in order to do what you are doing OldChap?
If yours runs DSFL without app_info and you then add it and it still runs then all is good ....it is just a trial and error.
I got mine running all the projects in the coloured app_info normal first then added the big app_info and restarted....all ran OK except HCC CPU but that may have been due to having none already loaded. You could do the same but adding yours too to the list both before and after running app_info.
Hello again Retro77,
I am still a bit confused about what you say at 2. ... below:
My understanding is that <avg_ncpus> controls the number of CPU cores activated. For example, on a 2600K which already has 8 cores with HT, an <avg_ncpus>0.8</avg_ncpus> will give you 10 cores. The 10 = 1/number of threads you wish to run multiplied by the number of cores available so for 8 cores and 10 threads this would be 1/10*8=0.8. Your <max_ncpus> should be set at <max_ncpus>1.0</max_ncpus> if you only want 8 CPU cores. If you indeed entered <avg_ncpus>0.125</avg_ncpus> in your app_info file you then created 64 CPU cores [where X (# CPU cores wanted)=(1 x 8) / 0.125]Quote:

With a 2600K (HT active in BIOS), you already have 8 CPU cores available and thus only need to mod the <counts> #. Your settings should be:
<avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
<count>.125</count> (assuming one card this number is 1/number of threads you wish to run so 1 / 8=0.125)
In summary, "ncpus" entries are for the # of CPU core desired. The "count" entries control the number of GPU threads on each GPU(s) that is/are present on your MB.
For your consideration,
Jean-Guy

You are getting closer to your wish. Something is causing an extra 11th task to be running but I cannot tell from the partial app_info file you posted above. Your app_info file seems to be missing this red portion:

Hello Retro I am Back,
Had to go and watch one my grandson play hockey. When I read your app_info file I see "<avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus>" for both hhc and DSFL. With these setting you will have the standard 8 CPU cores available from your 2600K. The count you have set for hcc is "<count>.125</count>. It is requesting 10 hcc threads. No count is set for GSFL. This appears to be interpreted by the software has requesting 1 threads. In summary you appear to have requested a total of 11 threads (10 hcc + 1 GFSL). To match the 8 cores available on your 2600K try managing the thread count settings for both hcc ans GFSL. Possible options:
1- hcc = <count>.25</count> and GFSL = <count>.25</count> This should yield 4 hcc thread and 4 GFSL threads for a total of 8.
2- hcc = <count>.166</count> and GFSL = <count>.5</count> This should yield 6 hcc thread and 2 GFSL threads for a total of 8.
Try and see if it works. Make sure that your online WCG profile matches the tasks that your are requesting. The library entries you posted could be due to lost WUs, you may have to exit and restart BOINC without the app_info file to reset it and then re-add the app_info file after deleting tasks that you do not want.
Good luck, I got to get back to fine tuning my overclock.

Hello Retro7,
Sorry to see you are having such a hard time. I have been busy setting back a GPU ATI hcc1 WUs only app_info configuration on my rig. Are you still interested in running DSFL CPU WUs or are you switching back to ATI hcc1 GPU WUs only?
If you still want ATI hcc1 GPU anf DSFL then try this:
I adjusted the count in the ATI_hcc1 section to run 5 GPU WUs and deleted the count entry from the DFSL section. My thoughts are that if 5 CPU cores are taken up to assist GPU ATI_hcc1 WU processing, 3 cores should remain for DFSL processing. Make sure DFSL is selected in your online WCG profile. If regular hcc CPU WUs show up try deselecting hcc in online WCG profile.Code:<app_info>

Hope this helps you,

Would one of you that is running HCC as well as HCC GPU please post your app_info. I think I have corrupted mine and I just do not see how.

OC that's not an issue with your app_info, it's telling you that file is missing from the folder: www.worldcommunitygrid.org
If you only have 8 threads available and you want to also run HCC CPU at the same time (I found this counter-productive in my tests) you would change the avg_ncpus and max_ncpus tags inside the GPU section ... not the CPU section. This way each GPU task requires slightly less than 1 cpu thread but when the CPU tasks run they will use a full thread.
Making the following changes to the app_info posted below *should* run 8 gpu and 1 cpu at the same time
Code:<avg_ncpus>0.875000</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>0.875000</max_ncpus>
8 Conurrent ATI WUs ... without the above changes ... modify at your own risk :rofl:
I added the flops tag to help BOINC calculate better estimates, you'll have to tweak to match your runtimes.

Cheers SC I have the bit about cores and threads in gpu sorted. The commenting is v. useful and the idea of flops I hope will resolve the runtime estimate and thus allow the cache to run at maximum.
I will run without app_info for a while to try to resolve the HCC for CPU error. This probably came about through setting up this stuff while HCC was on hold. (he said hopefully)
It seems a shame that wu files are held in same place as rig files as saving would be easier if not
I had some time to give this a try again and now I got it working. This is my app_info file for running 4 WU's on a ATI card and HFCC WU's on the CPU.

Thanks Jean-Guy, that started working but my video driver crashes. Not sure if I've got a hardware problem or not here. Seems like others are able to get this to work just fine but I am having no luck in crunching more than one GPU task at a time.

ran furmark:

Well Hello again Retro,
Glad to see that you were able to move the yardstick forward. Looks like your video card or its driver may need a little TLC. Can you add your system details to your signature block to give pertinent troubleshooting sys data. Your above FurMark data (27 Oct 2012) indicate that you conducted a successful test,. I see that you are using WIN 8, an i7 2600K @ 3502MHz, 8 gigs of RAM and a possible OC video card. Your low CPU setting (i7 2600K @ 3502MHz 3.5 GHz) is holding your video card back. You need to eventually OC that CPU to 4.2 GHZ or greater to maximize your video card effectiveness.
Here are a few questions for you:
1- Have you fully stress tested your whole sytem? (memtest86+ and Prime 95)?
2- Whitout app_info, can you run 7 CPU WUs and one (ATI GPU hcc1) WUs?
I would try the easy possible fix first:
1- if video card OC return it to stock and see if it will run.
2- raise pwr setting on video card
3- switch to BOINC Beta v7.0.36
4- Update video driver from 12.10 to latest 12.11 beta (12.11 beta 4 is positively commented upon by BOINC crunchers)
Good luck,
Jean-Guy
Made some changes to the big app_info :
SC's annotated HCC is now in
Rob B's HCCC is in
Retro's DSFL is in.
Nice work gentlemen :up:
Incidentally, I have run the whole thing (less hccc) as a test. All that I removed was nVidia as I have ati cards. It is all good, so for those of you with a preference for one or two projects and more cores/threads than your GPU can handle all you need to do is remove those projects that you do not have already loaded on the rig and do not wish to run.
I'm on 12.11 beta 8 for my 7970 at stock 1100/1650, no issues yet..
Also I have a GTX670 in the system too, at 1302/1702 :)
I'm trying to run this on my AMD APU. What do I set the platform to instead of Intel? And do I modify the file info from intelx86 to x86_64?
<name>wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86__ati_hcc1 </name>
Edit: My App_info wasn't taking affect after closing BOINC. Apparently, even after exiting the program, it was still open under task manager as a running task. I shut it down and everything worked.
Jean-Guy: To answer your questions:
1- Have you fully stress tested your whole sytem? (memtest86+ and Prime 95)? Nope
2- Whitout app_info, can you run 7 CPU WUs and one (ATI GPU hcc1) WUs? I don't think I've tried with out app_info
I would try the easy possible fix first:
1- if video card OC return it to stock and see if it will run. It's a stock OC from ASUS
2- raise pwr setting on video card do this in the BIOS?
3- switch to BOINC Beta v7.0.36 I'm running 7.0.36
4- Update video driver from 12.10 to latest 12.11 beta (12.11 beta 4 is positively commented upon by BOINC crunchers) I'm running 12.10 as I've heard they work with someone else running W8. I've tried 12.11 beta4 and beta 8. Video driver crashes after about 11 seconds.
Thanks :up:
jeanguy and retro I don't remember to much but there was something I read about Windows 8 and boincs latest version as not vetted (or worse) and to use an earlier version of boinc with Win 8. Which version I can't remember... I dismissed keeping the information as I was going to run Win 7.
Stitch
Thanks for input Stitch, Retro77 has previously tried the latest stable BOINC manager V7.0.28 (recommended) as well as v7.0.36 beta...Quote:

Try to adopt a logical methodology to resolve this issue,my suggestions:
1- Triple check your video power connections and then run BOINC without app_info, with GPU crunching enabled in your online WCG preferences, see if video card crashes or run at least one ATI_hcc1 v7.05 WU;
2- If it does not work try video card in another rig to confirm it works; (if video card OK)
3- Do a full stress test your W8 system
FYC,Code:Here is how I do a full stress test on my rigs:
1) Set OC in BIOS. Save BOIS and Exit
2) Boot to memtest+86 (using memtest86+ boot CD that is already in CD drive) [Run for 8 to 12 Hours for final test only 2 full passes for trial OCs]
3) Exit memtest86+ & re-enter BIOS, remove memtest boot CD & then save and exit from BIOS
4) Boot up to Windows (first real test)
5) Verify OC with CPUz or AIDA64
6) Open up CoreTemp or RealTemp and run IBM Burn Test (IBT) for 6 passes on Very High (takes about 5 minutes). If stable, move onto next step, if not, go back to 1) and repeat steps 1) to 6)
7) Prime95 on blend for 8 hours. If this passes, I assume my OC is stable.
IBT usually spots the obvious . P95 will find the small weaknesses in the OC
I then use 3Mark or Heaven Benchmark for stressing GPUs.
WARNING keep a very close eye on temps with IBT running, keep at least 20-30C under Tmax (unless you have very deep pockets...)
You can get IBT from http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/...BurnTest.shtml and google for CoreTemp and RealTemp if you do not have them already.

So I got 12 cores o/c to 4.2 Ghz. and one 7950 video card (the other 7950 the fans spun nicely was all) got an RMA to replace it.
So far I'm finishing a wu in 2 1/2 minutes only half of the duty cycle is in the cpu. I have o/c the card to 1,000 and underclocked the memory. but the fans run only 30%. and GPU temp is 36.
So I need the app_info for this setup.
Thanks,
Excited Stitch

Stich,
Look at the very first post in this thread by OldChap. There are various app_info file in there to choose from. Make sure you follow the app_info install instructions.
If you want the folks to post a specific app_info file for you, state what you want to do: ATI GPU hcc only; or ATI GPU with a X number of other CPU WUs? If you elect to do CPU WUs using app_info, specify which one"s". (HCC, DSFL...)
If you are not chasing badges, "ATI GPU hcc only" will be more efficient.
Happy crunching...
I names the file app_info.xml
I put it in ProgramData\boinc\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org\
I had wu and now they are gone.
When I go to "Projects" then "properties" it says "Don't fetch tasks for AMD/ATI GPU"
Any help
also I don't know what hcc is. I was hoping to do more wu than cores.
Stitch
May sure that the WCG Device Profile is set to do GPU and Help Conquer Cancer selected :up:
Check the event log within the BOINC client for clues as to why it's not pulling WUs. And when you put in or take away the app_info, it does wipe the queue.

Did you allow 1 WU to run before suspending and using the app_info?
I clicked file exit boinc manager and checked the box that says "Stop running tasks when exiting Boinc manager."
Gotta let it download the stuff first. Note it says the files don't exist, so it won't get any units. For some reason if the files listed in app_info don't exist yet, BOINC won't go fetch them. Seems odd :shrug:
Pull the app_info out, run BOINC, and let it download a few HCC units and the program files. Then what I did (otherwise it tends to screw up later) is tell BOINC to not get any more tasks and let it crunch and finish all the current tasks it downloaded. Once the queue has emptied out, shut down BOINC, put the app_info back, start BOINC back up, and tell it to get tasks again.
OK, its up and running.
Now how do I determine how far I can o/c the 7950? Presently I have it at 1,000 at stock voltage and GPU temp is 49. Fan speed is at 30%. I have underclocked the memory to 950 and can go lower.
Stitch
I would step up the OC immediately to 1100 and then wait to make sure that the WUs processed at that speed turn to "Valid" on the WCG site (easiest to check by time returned). After that I would start stepping up small increments (say 50 at a whack) and follow the same pattern of checking the WCG site. I have not yet crashed a WU completely on my 7850 although I did push it far enough for a "driver reset" to occur. I just bumped the volts a hair and am currently running 1250 for about 6 hours. 4.2 on the CPU is good but these WUs do really benefit from higher OC there as a good deal of processing happens on the CPU at each start (depending on CPU and RAM anywhere from 12-42 seconds) and about 23 times longer at the each end of a WU. Keep in mind that these tasks actually have 2 WUs wrapped up inside so you'll see a pause at in the middle also (49.707%).
Here's where I get to say Thank you to OldChap..
Many Thanks pal! :up:

Looking good Mr H. You are more than welcome

My Thanks again..:up:
Do you think I can increase the count? and if so how do I do it so I don't flush my cache?
Right now my processor fluxuates from 30% to 80% on 12 threads.
WU times are about 8 minutes. I only have one 7950 (the other one was a dud).
<count>0.0830000</count>
going for dinner
thanks for the knowledge and input.
Stitch
I think you would be better served by leaving it at 12 threads but turning HT off ... you could clock the cpu a bit higher so and the cpu portions of the WUs will go much faster.
OOPS just googled it and found out how. ........... What is turning off HT? Hyper Threading is what comes to mind. So how do I turn off HT?
Right now the CPU is clocked at 4.2 at stock voltage and run at full load under Intel burn test at 4.5 I got thermal spikes on some of the cores of jumps of 3 degrees using water cooling that wasn't for me. Maybe after the thermal compound is set in use for 100 hours I'll consider 4.3. But summer will raise the temps and cooling in the 60's will go higher.
Stitch
You turn off HyperThreading in the BIOS :up:
This is a Intel Socket 2011 perhaps you can't turn off HT or this Gigabyte motherboard can't.
Hmm...whats model of board?
X79-up4
Global thanks
Thanks retro77
Thanks Snow Crash
Thanks OldChap
Thanks Sparky
Thanks bluestang
Thanks jeanguy2
Thanks nanoprobe
It should be under Advanced CPU Features. If it doesn't show up, then the CPU doesn't support it. But I'm sure yours does.
Turning off HT will drop your temps substantially (on nehalem is it about a 15 degrees C reduction) allowing you to push that puppy a bit harder :up:
For those of you with 7970's and 7950's (maybe others too) it is possible to run more threads than cores.
Within the app_info you will need to adjust the following
Wouldn't simpler math for <avg_ncpus> be just taking amount of CPU cores available divided by amount of GPU threads you want to run. So 8/10=.10Code:<avg_ncpus>0.8</avg_ncpus> <this number here = 1/number of threads you wish to run multiplied by the number of cores available so for 8 cores and 10 threads this would be 1/10*8=0.8
<max_ncpus>1.0</max_ncpus>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>.1</count> <assuming one card this number is 1/number of threads you wish to run so for 10=0.1
Same result every time but less math and confusion I think.
I could have written this better but the maths works because you may wish to consider the word available.
If you wish to run another project on cpu and you have the typical 4c/8t cpu then available becomes 7
I just thought that writing the fraction/description in this way helped clarify the reason why we end up with said figure
...... or I may have done it because compared to 20 years ago I am shyte at maths :D
I am trying to paste together a working app info file.
Does the 6.56 have to match the version of Boinc I am using?
<name>wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86__nvidia_h cc1</name>
My fault. I have not updated all the files in post 1
any instance of 6.56 should be replaced with 7.05
656 is now 756 now too.
You should be able to copy everything in the colored BIG app_info file then delete the bits you don't want.
No it doesn't, just go to the pg. 1 of this thread and copy and paste any of the app_info.xml files from post #1, they all work just fine.Quote:

The colored code page is good, but when I paste it into notepad, they arent colored anymore.
What do these number correspond to?
I tried copying and paste but I just ended up with a bunch of red error messages:(
I am running the 64 version of Boinc, does that matter?
You need to tailor the app_info to fit what projects you're running. What ones do you want to run and maybe we can help piece one together.
gearhead:
Consider the following as a sequence you need to follow:
From the top
Ensure that all of the projects you wish to run are already present on the rig
Ensure that no other projects are on the rig if they are then:
projects> no new tasks. >>Tasks then select any that need removing and abort these tasks.
Next we need to put the complete app_info text in to the right file so Open notepad> copy/paste the whole lot into the blank document (You might find it easier to do this piece by piece using the colors as a guide)
At the beginning you will see in blue here in the first post the HCC files one of which is the definition the other is for HCC CPU only and looks like this:
<!-- Start of files required for HCC CPU -->
<file_info>
<name>wcg_hcc1_img_7.05_windows_intelx86</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<!-- End of files required for HCC CPU -->
If you do not intend to run HCC CPU then delete that bit.
Next there are files for HCC ATI in red. If you are running nVidia then delete those too
Next there is the green text for HCC nVidia. You need that.
Keep going down the list until you only have what you need.
>save as app_info.xml in your <boinc>\data\projects\www. worldcommunitygrid. org folder. Be sure to ?save as? and use the option for all files and not .txt
Now we need to exit Boinc using file> Exit Boinc from within boincmanager
Now we need to re-start boincmanager. Your tasks page should re-populate with all the tasks as normal except you should now see 2 instances of GPU HCC running per card (Unless you changed the settings.)
All good???
go advanced >event log and have a look for error messages. report any of those here
Bedtime here for me but the guys will help I'm sure
I redid my app_info file, copied it to the correct folder, stopped boinc and restarted and it dumped all my HCC tasks, kept the HFCC ones. I only do those two, I have a thing about cancer I am a survivor.
Here is my app info file:

2 issues ... first you don't have file config settings for HCC GPU in the app_info and you are also missing the file to execute the regular HCC executable file.
Remove your app_info, fully stop and restart BOINC. Once you have WUs of all types you are crunching suspend the task and fully stop BOINC.
Replace the HCC CPU and GPU part of your app_info with those below, restart BOINC

edit the avg_ncpus and max_ncpus to something less than 1. try 0.5 and you should be able to double the number of tasks. as it is now it requires 1 core/thread per task and is limited by number of cores/threads available.
Sweet! got it working, thank you.
So if I want to run 3 or 4 cores I just change the 0.5 to .33 or .25 in here?:

Thanks werdwerdus
I'm having trouble getting the dsfl app portion working. The hcc part is working fine, I copy-pasted it from the first page and deleted all the app info I wasn't using, but the event log was saying it was an anonymous project and won't fetch new units when it updates. Any suggestions?
I can post requested info later if anyone wants so cut/paste logs.
Yeroon, I'm having the same problems and I had it working. Not sure if DSFL changed the version number but I tried 625, 6.25 and 7.1.0 [as found in my client_info on another PC]. I cannot get WCG to give me any WUs.
Here is my app_info:

Just injecting my progress for HCC my 12 core & 7950 are now at a count of 26 and wu time has improved to ~51 seconds each wu and my results are comming in valid with o/c 4.1 Ghz CPU and 1050 for core GPU, 950 under clock of memory.
@DSFL
If you are not using the screensaver drop the gfx file
Remove the <count> tag
The files you have will only process 64 bit WUs from WCG ... occasionally they send 32 bit but you can trick it by making an app_version for 32 bit but have it point to the 64 bit files.
You can get the exact version number form client_state.xml on a machine that is getting DSFL tasks. If you only have 1 mahcine then stop boinc, remove app_info, restart boinc. Once it ha pulled tasks of all the types you want to run suspend all taks and stop boinc. Invest8igate the clinet_state file to make sure you have the correct versions in your app_info. Fix up app_info as necessary, put it back in place and restart boinc.

Did as you said, found the client state and it shows the exact file name as is in app_info, x86_64 ending.
Heres my log file problem:

Well ... BOINC recognizes that you do not have a copy of the executable file for the DSFL project so won't even bother.Quote:
missing application file wcgrid_dsfl_vina_prod_x86_64.exe.6.25
Did you follow the above stop, remove app_info, restart, get tasks of ALL types you want to crunch, suspend, replace app_info and restart instructions?
I've said is a million times and I'll say it again. Once BOINC has downloaded the executables make copies so if you mess up your app_info file and the executables get deleted you can just copy them back in.
Snow crash, for hcc what files should I copy and keep? I could only find 6 exe files and they appeared to be boinc exe program stuff in the program folder for 64-bit applications.
I've copied.
hcckernel.cl.7.05
and
wcg_hcc1_img_7.05_windows_intelx86__ati_hcc1
Are you running both cpu and gpu tasks? are you running ati or nvidia?
Go to the data folder for wcg ... (your directory may be different)
Z:\Program Data\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org\
HCC CPU
wcg_hcc1_img_7.05_windows_intelx86
HCC GPU need this for both ati and nvidia
hcckernel.cl.7.05
HCC GPU ATI
wcg_hcc1_img_7.05_windows_intelx86__ati_hcc1
HCC GPU NVIDIA
wcg_hcc1_img_7.05_windows_intelx86__nvidia_hcc1
I put the executables onto my dropbox account so I can get them to my crunchers easier.
