Working app_info files

**retro77** · 11-28-2012, 07:25 PM

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.

**Snow Crash** · 11-29-2012, 06:10 AM

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

**bluestang** · 11-30-2012, 09:47 AM

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

Code:

<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

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=.10

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

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>

**OldChap** · 12-02-2012, 03:44 PM

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.
You will need a the newer vr. of the Boinc client 7.0.28 to use the GPU.

**gearhead** · 12-02-2012, 04:22 PM

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?

**retro77** · 12-02-2012, 04:42 PM

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.

**OldChap** · 12-02-2012, 04:49 PM

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:


<file_info>
<name>wcg_hcc1_img_7.05_windows_intelx86</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>


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

**gearhead** · 12-02-2012, 06:29 PM

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

Code:

I can't get my count to go above 13.
Any help?

Here's my app file.

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.

**gearhead** · 12-02-2012, 11:21 PM

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?:
<type>CUDA</type>
<count>.5</count>

Thanks werdwerdus

**Yeroon** · 12-03-2012, 09:15 AM

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.

**retro77** · 12-03-2012, 09:26 AM

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:

I'm still troubleshooting so I don't have a solution yet. But I welcome others to give it a look to see if there is something I am missing.

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.

**Snow Crash** · 12-03-2012, 11:07 AM

@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:

missing application file wcgrid_dsfl_vina_prod_x86_64.exe.6.25

Well ... BOINC recognizes that you do not have a copy of the executable file for the DSFL project so won't even bother.
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.

StitchExperimen · 12-03-2012, 05:04 PM

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

**Snow Crash** · 12-03-2012, 05:12 PM

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

**retro77** · 12-03-2012, 05:16 PM

I put the executables onto my dropbox account so I can get them to my crunchers easier.
