I noticed a similar scheduling - CPU tasks were prioritized over GPU. Are your CPU tasks running with "high priority" ?
Resetting the project didn't help. I enabled detailed logging and found out, that it was a priority issue. Moreover, it scheduled 9 tasks on my 8 CPU threads...
I had a quite large queue, so I reduced it and aborted some of those CPU tasks (which were overdue anyway) and now it looks OK.
Seems the new BOINC betas have scheduling issues...
still doing the same with your app_config heres the log.Originally Posted by OldChap

cant find where to enable detailed logging
Needs to be done via cc_config.xml
Insert something like this:
<log_flags>
<coproc_debug>1</coproc_debug>
<cpu_sched>1</cpu_sched>
<cpu_sched_debug>1</cpu_sched_debug>
<priority_debug>1</priority_debug>
</log_flags>
Did you move the app_config to the www.worldcommunitygrid.org folder or is it still in the cc_config where you had the app_info?
This is the path to where you want the app_config C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org
i just save that to note pad, save it as xml and post it in the same place the app_config.xml goes right or am i doing this wrong???
This is the path i am putting the app_config.xml C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org
It seems to have found app_config and the card so I am thinking you need to check your profile in my grid has gpu enabled for this machine and local preferences too (gpu while in use) and local min cache settings of maybe a day. etc.
Wondering if something went awry during the upgrade so it will do no harm to do all these again, re-start and if you still get nothing do a projects update

What Mumak posted goes into the cc_config. Where you originally had the app_info. C:\ProgramData\BOINC\cc_config.xml
Oldchap correct me if I am wrong. Once he gets this working he should be able to set cpu usage to 1 and then be able to use the other 2 threads for cpu work?
Last edited by Moo; 02-20-2013 at 12:57 PM.
The choice is his. for each cpu thread running he needs a core/thread but for gpu partial threads work too so he can run all cpu cores threads on gpu or maybe one or two on cpu and 2 or 3 on gpu.
Using the file above we adjust the numbers like this:
The following would get 2 cpu and 4 gpu threads running at once;
<app_config>
<app>
<name>hcc1</name>
<max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.25</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

thanks for the help as well guys. sorry if its something im doing wrong....
This is what it should look like.
<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<coproc_debug>1</coproc_debug>
<cpu_sched>1</cpu_sched>
<cpu_sched_debug>1</cpu_sched_debug>
<priority_debug>1</priority_debug>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>
ok that got rid of the no start tag, and now its logging lots of debug stuff. Still no gpu work. Have gpu to always run...

If all goes well then you can remove that logging if you wish. Just rename the file so it is there for later if you need it

it dont bother me, I just want my gpu to start helping out lol
Enabling debugging won't bring you the GPU tasks back. It's there so you can check the enhanced debug data and determine why you don't get GPU tasks.
Close BOINC, start it new, wait a while until tasks are scheduled and started, then post the log and we can have a look at it.
In my case for example I saw that my GPU tasks were initially chosen to be scheduled, but at a later point they were pushed back because of priority.
i went back to 6.10.58 to see if my gpu would start again, and nope. still nothing... im going to leave it on and go to work. see whats up with it at 11:30pm.
app config will not work with Boinc pre 7.0.40.
Just by the way, did you run gpu with no app info or app config before you tried installing either? If not do it now, then put app config back in as before.

it used the gpu before I did a app info. The I did the first one u posted on the thread u started and was doing 2 at a time but not maxing out the cpu. Basically I'm wanting to max out both cpu and gpu. It dont matter how lol
I'm getting confused.Are you running 6.10.58 with app_info or back to 7.0.42 with app_config?
as of right now my computer is running 6. 58.10. I am at work for the next hour and can't change anything on my computer. When I get home I was planning on the erasing everything and installing7.0 .42 and trying all of this again. Sorry to be so confusing I just reverted back to the older 1 to see if my gpu would start working again lol
ok, got it all fix and up and running good on 7.0.42. OldChap, on ur 5870 how many tasks can you do? seems like when i do just 2 and max the cpu which is now a 3770k i lose my internet connection. it also do this with the i3. snooze the gpu and internet comes back? lol
I have run up to 9 on the Sandy and Ivy rigs on a 5870 and 6 on a q6600 and 5850 combo.
When running together with another card which was doing around 16 wu's in 10-11Mins I adjusted the number of wu's running on the slower card to the nearest match to that time which for me was around 11-12-13 mins and 5 or 6 concurrent on the 5870.
Never lost internet though.
For the first few days keep an eye on the number of errors and invalids especially if you overclock the cards

will do. thanks for the help
