I monitor my other cruncher that way when I'm too lazy to walk to the other room. I noticed it says GPU is missing when I connect. When I actually walk over to it and check, the GPU is back. I assumed it was Remote Desktop causing the issue.Quote:

What that will do is save you a bunch of power and lower your temps.Quote:

^^same here!
Before: stock BOINC settings(1 GPU task at time), stock GTX 460 at 675MHz= 10 WU/hour, 56000 points/day.
After: added app_info to run 3 tasks simultaneously and OC'd the GPU to 850MHz= 16 WU/hour, 88,000 points/day. :cool:
2 problems though: 1) I had to exclude my display GPU from use, the lag was unbearable. I'll let it run while I'm sleeping. Secondary GPU runs 24/7. 2) I missed the courier truck with my shiny new 7870 in it....lol!! :mad:
Finally got the app_info to work on my 3770K @4,7GHz + HD7970 @stock rig running 4 tasks simultaneously and by the looks of it each WU takes 130 sec at most.
If I calculate 2.5 minute on each I then get 160 WU/hour *24*30 points(average looks more like 35) that's 115,200 Boinc PPD or 806,400 WCG PPD from one rig pulling 230W :eek:
Edit:
Just checked the Pending Validation on that rig and it has gone up from 22 pages on hour ago to 29 pages now, 7 pages in on hour and by the looks of it so has the Valid ones.
MyDog: Is that 4 GPU tasks + 4 CPU tasks your running or strictly 4 GPU only? Care to share that app_info...I'd like to try 2 simultaneous on my 7870.
Wow, that is crazy!!!Quote:

This would be ~69000 boinc points per day or about 480,000 WCG point per day, which is still a crazy amount, but not as much as you predicted.
I fired up my old baby: E6600 at 3.2GHz + 5870 at 900/1200.
I got these results only running GPU WU's:
http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/...oinctasks3.png
I calculated the average elapsed time for these WU's and came to 223 sec/WU = 16 WU's per hour.
16 x 24 = 384 WU's per day
384 x 33 points = 12672 boinc points/day = 88700 WCG points per day.
Not bad for this old machine :D
This is what I got running 4 GPU WU's simultaneously

So, I was getting 40K WCG PPD previously running 8 GFAM tasks.
Now, I should do about 215K WCG PPD on a machine running 7 GFAM + 1 HCC GPU.
+175K WCG PPD for the 7870 (and I've had an hour or 2 each day down time).
Looks like they raised the number of WU you can have on a cruncher. Up till today I had a max of 60 WU and that is now 100 for both GPU crunchers that I have. That is still only a little over 2 hour cached on my 7770.
yeah, I wish I had noticed that limit before I set my normal internet use hours
Hmm just checked on my 7970 Cruncher and it had been stuck in 40 mins on the same four WU's(stuck on the CPU part of the work on all the WU's), restarted Boinc and now it's running normal again.
I've seen other people have that problem so just wondering if it's a app_data or WU problem, anyone here have a clue?
I had the same problem about 2 hours ago. It had been running fine all day with 1 WU. But after 1 or 2 hours running 2 WU's it didn't finish the WU's and was stuck for over one hour.
I'm back to 1 WU now. Just to be save and keep crunching.
Then I need to keep an eye on all rigs running the app_data script I guess. Anyone of you guys using BoincTasks know if it can produce a web site displaying progress?
I remember doing that running F@H in a similar program to BoincTasks.
I think it has something to do with the driver. I've seen it a couple of times. The worst part is that the WUs normally result in an error, which screws up the quota.Quote:

If you're only getting invalids, you're lucky. I got a couple of errors and all of a sudden the machine that can do 180 per hour is limited to 150 per day. YEOUCH!Quote:

Gonna watch that rig closely the next 24 hours.
I had a WU stuck when the driver crashed on me trying to OC my GPU core. After the driver recovered, I suspended and restarted BOINC and I was good to go again. Either way this 7870 is going back after I get my (2) 7770 cards.
How are you guys running multiple GPU tasks at once?
custom app_info.xml file controls which projects you want to run and also how many GPUGRID tasks at a time. Depending on your card type ATI is on page 3, Nvidia page 4, Nvidia and HCC on CPU as well as Nvidia plus GFAM are on page 9 of this thread.Quote:

What's the best way to maximize output? It's on a 2700k with a GTX460.
Edit: Also, anyone know what kinda points I can expect out of that?
There was a new list of GPUs and times posted today.Quote:

A good ballpark is to multiply your expected WUs completed by 30pts.
It looks like that card is averaging a workunit per a little over 6 minutes. That's around 10/hour * 30, so 300 PPH.
I thought some of those cards (9400GT, 8800GT) didn't even run this gpu project. Why are they on the chart?
Yeah, weird.Quote:
Originally Posted by shoota
Even weirder that the 8800GT is so high on that chart. It beats every card except the 79xx series and a 78xx.
Mine does around 55k at stock clocks running 1 WU at a time. If I OC it to 850MHz core and run 3 WU's simultaneously it'll do 85k. Be warned though that you'll likely have to set BOINC to "suspend GPU while in use" as GPU crunching causes severe display lag on alot of machines.Quote:

Thank you pirogue!
You mean you can run 2x GPU + 6x CPU WU's with that pirogue??
I was under the impression that you can't run multiple GPU WU's and at the same time run CPU WU's.
I thought that too. I gave it a try and it doesn't download any CPU WU's.
All you need to do is add the appropriate app info for the CPU program you want to run, the number of cores is set through BOINC Manager.Quote:

At the moment I'm running GPU only. But would like a 2x GPU and HCC CPU file if you have it.
Where do you find the app info for the different projects? I would like to try a few things when I have a little more time.
oops. I only saw the 2 GPU part. (This is a GPU thread after all. :))
There's a post on the WCG forums on how to do it for SNS2, but I don't know what to change to make it work for GFAM.
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/fo...set,240#396895
not sure, but a good guess is that you need to change everything from sn2s to gfam or any other project. might give it a go when i get the 7950
I tried to run both multi GPU + CPU WU's but then I ran out of GPU WU's and didn't get new ones, might be script in the app_info file I got.
Only problem I got is that three out of four WU's stop after a while, looks to me that they stop when they get to much out of sync with each other.
P.S. For your 7870, you may be able to squeeze a few more points out by running 3 at a time.
To try, change .5 to .33 here:
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>.5</count>
</coproc>
You should try with 2 at first and see what your times are like and then change it to 3.
In my case, 1 WU was running in 80-85 seconds, 2 were running in 120-125, and 3 are running in 160-170.
Make sure you check the GPU usage%. I don't think you want it pegged at 100%. For me, 1=~85%, 2=~90%, and 3=~95%
edit: P.P.S Keep in mind that you'll need 3 CPU cores if you do this.
P.P.P.S. With as many points as these things generate, I'm not sure running CPU projects on the same PC is worth it.
For me on my setup 2 GPU tasks = 92% and 3 = 96%
In the couple dozen tasks I've done so far:
2 tasks 1:34-1:48
3 tasks 2:05-2:16
I may leave it at 3 GPU tasks only for a while and see how it goes :)
EDIT: Getting error --
10/18/2012 5:57:31 PM | World Community Grid | File referenced in app_info.xml does not exist: wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86
EDIT2: NM, got it straightened out!
@bluestang - if you still want to run GFAM CPU instead of HCC CPU and we can work out the app_info deets.
1. Make a copy your client_state.xml file
a note here - this file has way more info than you'll need but for each section (app, file_info, app_version) you only need the bare minimum to match the app_info I posted above.
2. Open the copy and find the equivalent of
(bonus points if you screw with the friendly name attribute and post back a screenshot)Code:<app>
<name>hcc1</name>
<user_friendly_name>Help Conquer Cancer</user_friendly_name>
</app>
3. Add that to the beginning, doesn't matter if it is before or after HCC
4. Find the equivalent of
5. drop that in after the app section (I bet you can start to see the pattern here)Code:<file_info>
<name>wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
6. repeat general process for your app_version.
If you want to post back and we can take a look before you try, I'll be checking in sporadically tonight.
My brain is so cooked right now, I may be on the phone with Dave soon to figure things out here :D I'm running the script to run 2 GPU work units found on page 1, but now it won't run any CPU WU's.
That's correct, when you run the script it shuts off cpu WUQuote:

the key is you do one GPU WU if you have a "mild" vid card like yours and let the cpu's do their work BUT if you have a "BIG" vid card you use that script and multiple GPU WU and let it fly..Quote:

Repost from page 11. This config will run 2 GPUs and also run HCC on as many CPU cores as you have left over. The indicator if you can/ should run multiple GPU instances is if your GPU utilization is less than roughly 95%. After that you will still get some increase in work done but the machine will respond slowly (laggy).

True and it's only one GPU in that system a 7970 but I hope to get two more this weekend. Might need to change the PSU as I'm now running on a 450W cheap PSU, not sure it'll handle another two 7970's :rofl:Quote:

Just bumped the clocks from 925 to 1000 on core and got the total time below 2 mins on the WU's, average looks like 116 sec from the 28 first WU's.
A 7870 came online tonight in the wifes rig. 2x 7970's (hopefully) coming online tomorrow! :D I just about soiled my shorts when I saw how fast the 7870 chewed through the WU's compared to my GTX 460's....lol! :rofl: I'm feeding it with 6 cores of a 980x at 3.8GHz but the GPU still goes idle once in a while. I'll bump it to 8 cores if it runs stable and error free overnight.
you're running 6 WU's simultaneously on that 7870?? What times are you getting on those WU's?Quote:

Any idea what causes this. I'm on the latest ATI drivers.
@ Mydog,
Just taking a small sample of elapsed times shown in BOINC, it looks like 3:30 to 3:50. So roughly 30-38 seconds per WU.
Looks like I need to test with more than 4 WU's simultaneously on my 7970 then, WU's now use just short of 120 sec on average total which is 30 seconds per WU.Quote:

GJ guys!
Something tells me this would be the perfect time to have all the APP_INFO tags for each project in one place ;)
Can anyone please write post the tags for FAAH?
I'm now testing to run 6 WU's simultaneously on my 7970 and I found something interesting. Total time per WU went up as expected going from 4 to 6 WU's and the increase per hour where slim, from 120 WU's an hour to 130+, but from what I can see in the WCG page points claimed and granted went up from an average of 30 point per WU to 35(this is Boinc points). CPU usage went from 50% max(4 GPU WU's) to 75% max(6 GPU WU's)
Can anyone else confirm these findings?
Testing the app_info file on 7770 and it seems to claim more (Q9650 3.6MHz 2 7770 running 4 GPU tasks)
Claimed/ Granted

I was running 3 GPU WUs on my 7870 last night for a couple hours and no issues. Went to bed and woke up to a BSOD. Not sure how long it was like that :(
I noticed 2 of the WUs had "Computational Error" status when I got back into BOINC. Not sure what happened, didn't have much time other than to re-boot and change back to 2 GPU WUs before I left for work.
I'm gonna try and go back to 3 tonight when I get home from work :up:
I did notice I had a hard time keeping my cache full of HCC GPU WUs thought when running 3 at a time...is there a trick to keeping it full (.01 min/4.0 max buffer set) other than manually hitting the update button when you can??? Sorta hard to do that when you sleeping or at work.
EDIT: I have a 7770 coming for my Work PC (old HD 3650 died) and 2x7770 for my Home PC. Not sure if I'm sending the 7870 back when I get the 2x7770 or keeping it. More cards than slots right now :)
From this I can read that WU's takes about 3 mins+- total right? two on each of the two 7770's that gives you 80 WU per hour more or less?Quote:

You need to set the profile in WCG to run GPU I only or it might depend on the app_info file you're using.Quote:

Are you running GPU only or GPU/CPU?
Guys when you talk about load on your GPU's are you talking about the load when it's working on a WU or a percentage of time the GPU has work? In my case on the 7970 looks like this 94% load 85% of the time running 6 WU's simultaneously and CPU(3770K @4,7GHz) at 77% max load.
Might have room for two more WU's on the GPU.
WU's seem to vary a lot in weight(Time it takes vs points claimed/granted)
GPU only, but got it working now. Unattached the project and added it again seems to be working now.
So what sort of numbers should I expect from GTX580? Damn expensive to run it 24/7 but I may be in for SCW...

+ you need to set up the profile for that rig like this in your WCG page:

Just so I understand this correctly.... Running high end card with 4 instances uses 4 cores cpu and 2 cards would use 8 cpu cores right?
So with 7 slots, 7 x 7970's and some flexi risers Dave could run 28 cores of his 32 core beast on this??? I wonder what that would produce from one $8000 rig?
I'm not sure, not tested yet, but I think you can run up to 8 WU's simultaneously on one 7970 which will use all cores and threads on a 3770K. I'm running 6 WU's on a single 7970 ATM, been so all day, and it seems to be working perfect so far.
^^ are you still gaining efficiencies from running more than 4 instances at once?
How do you keep your cache fill with enough HCC GPU WUs???
Looks like it from what I can see but I'll supply more accurate numbers tomorrow when I've got more data.Quote:

Running 6 WU's I get on average 144 WU's per hour x24 x30 points(Boinc) = 103,680 x7 to WCG points = 725,760
But I need to see those numbers in Boincstats and free-dc before I belive it
Cache is 100 WU's at all time, getting new ones for every delivered.Quote:

Any idea how to fix this?
Edit: tried restarting Boinc, did not work. Not even GPU WU's are coming in.
Switched language to english, suddenly work starts coming in again ???????????????????
Try picking/adding another project. provided that you have more cpu cores than gpu cards running (if you are not running any app info's) you should get some
For whatever reason switching the interface language from dutch to english fixed the problem ????????? (I think it has to do with that I had to restart BOINC even though I already tried that and did not work before??)Quote:

If my calculation is right the 7970 should hit 110,000 boinc PPD or 770,000 WCG PPD tomorrow
Think about the numbers we could do if we had a few more.
I will try to pick one up in a week or two... that will be the last of my spending this year :(
Even though my 5870's were working in the 94-95% range I thought that because they are dedicated rigs I would try out running two instances on each card together with GFAM. So far so good, now in the 97% range. I will let that soak overnight. This is the last change until mid week as I will be away from Sunday for a day or two and don't want any instability while I cannot fix it.

I put the 7770 in my 2600k cruncher and I have the same problem on that rig with that card. It got stuck on a WU in less than one hour.
Maybe some cards just don't like to run 2 WU's at a time.
I switched from 4 to 6 WU's at the same time and OC'ed the core from 925MHz to 1000MHz still on stock voltage and that did it.Quote:

With two cards running 6 WU's you'd get 1,5 Mill PPD on that rig.Quote:

Attachment 130732
I'll be hitting ~400,000 today now that I'm running 3 WUs on the 7870 since yesterday late afternoon :up:
Damnit Mydog, now I want a HD7970......
I tested my 5870 very quickly how it does when running multiple WU's at the same time:
1) 190 s/WU = ~105,000 ppd
2) 145 s/WU = ~137,000 ppd
3) 138 s/WU = ~144,000 ppd
4) 130 s/WU = ~153,000 ppd
(HD5870 at 900/1100 on i7 930 at 3.1Ghz)
Even though more work is done when running more WU's, I don't see any increase in power consumption. When the card is under load it uses 190W and when the CPU is at load 160W
I think I will run 4 WU's because that means the WU's take slightly more than 8 minutes. This will prevent the cards from enduring so many heat up/cool down cycles.
If you are going for efficiency though, it seems running more than 2 WU's does not benefit your ppd as you would get more while running 2 GPU + 2 CPU than 4 GPU.
okay I haven't used AMD since about... 10 years ago... on a fresh installation of Windows XP Pro x64 SP2 what do I need to install to get AMD 7850 working in BOINC? I installed CCC 12.8 and the card shows up in Afterburner just fine but BOINC says "No usable GPUs found", even after several reboots. Is there something separate to install for OpenCL to be enable? In GPU-Z OpenCL is not listed as available.
little update, ccc 12.8 has no opencl support in win xp. it seems that 12.4 includes an opencl driver so I will try that!Quote:

Attachment 130735
^^^ I look at this and I cringe, then I look at what this machine is doing and start dancing around the room like a kid with his first hula-hoop! :D
I got a request for and app_info to run 2 GPU on AMD (7850) and also run CPU (all running hcc)
I won't have my 7850 until Monday but app_info is pretty straight foward.
If anyone runs this please post back with your results :up:
