Today's Numbers: Get 'Em While They're Hot!

30 million increase at the height of SC Week? Phew that'd be amazin'

[D_A]

I believe there are still people waiting on cards that are due to be delivered soon, so it's possible there will be another surge before the week is out.

[=[PULSAR]=]

Just need about another 40 high end ATI cards.

still can't get more then 1 task going on my 5800's even with all the app_info stuff =\

This works fine on my 5870 and the few people that I explained it too this way also got it to work. Maybe give this a try;

First, let one GPU WU run and finish and don't let it upload (disable network if needed). If there is no WU in your manager this will not work.
Exit BOINC and check "stop boinc service" --> Open notepad --> copy/paste one of the app_info code into the new document --> save as app_info.xml in your <boinc>\data\projects\www. worldcommunitygrid. org folder (make sure you save as "all files") --> start boinc manager.

I suggest you try this app_info first:
(runs only 2 GPU theads)

<app_info>
<app>
<name>hcc1</name>
<user_friendly_name>Help Conquer Cancer</user_friendly_name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86__ati_hc c1 </name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<file_info>
<name>hcckernel.cl.6.56</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>hcc1</app_name>
<version_num>656</version_num>
<platform>windows_intelx86</platform>
<plan_class>ati_hcc1</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>1.0</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1.0</max_ncpus>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>.5</count>
</coproc>
<file_ref>
<file_name>wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86__a ti _hcc1</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
<file_ref>
<file_name>hcckernel.cl.6.56</file_name>
<open_name>hcckernel.cl</open_name>
</file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>

The "0.5" between "count" means every WU will take half the GPU which results in 2 threads running at the same time. If you change that to 0.25 it will run 4 threads etc.

Well made the first contact with my school's IT department in drawing up a proposal to run BOINC on campus computers. Checked them out today looks like the entire computer lab is i5-2400k's with ATI 5550 GPUs

[bluestang]

i5-2400k ??? There is none.

Thanks for the foreplay WFO!

Those numbers just keep climing!!!

And I think we broke the stats.free-dc.org site as well
All the past couple day user stats look wonky.

100 mil anyone?

[retro77]

Very nice

i5-2400k ??? There is none.

Oops meant i5-2400

I had one, those are good little chips..

Um i did this, and all my WCG tasks disappeared

whatever it did just deleted 3 days worth of tasks

[Conquistador SW]

It should download new tasks, otherwise, try to update manually or a restart. It always starts downloading new tasks after doing that for me.

1) It would have been nice to know that

2) I did update the project and restart it and it stated no new tasks for the project ( tried for 30min ). When i removed the app_info file, it was then able to download files.

[Conquistador SW]

1) Sorry, I thought because you already tried the app_info stuff you knew this. It is normal with all app_info's that this happens. I should have warned

2) Are you sure there was a WU at 100% completion once you tried this? Because if not, it will indeed not start downloading new tasks.

[Snow Crash]

maybe hop over to the working app_info thread and post the startup messages from BOINC event log so we can see what's going on?

[masterg]

im not really fond of doing it again and losing another 3-4 days worth of tasks

specially in the middle of SCW

I used Fallwind's config on my GTX 570 and it worked fine. I was able to set GPU to .125 and keep everything at 100% load. I searched and found the link to his app_info. I turned off computing on CPU and all I'm getting are GPU WUs.

Hope this helps.
