    MW Work

    Don't know about anyone else but I am getting work from MW that is actually working and not giving me computational errors. Hope these work and the double credits are valid now.

    I will try not to turn that into something perverted.

    Based on my last 2 WU's (one with a 5830 OC'ed and one with a 5850 Oc'ed) 2:42 with the 5850 and 2:59 with the 5830.

    Re: MW Work

    It sounds similar to what it was before - which probably means and app_info file to run two at a time and change CPU priority would be good.

    Give me a few and I'll see what I can do. Anyone willing to test it (I'm all-in with Collatz now...)?

    Re: MW Work

    Here is what I have for you MW app_info.xml enthusiasts:

    Code:
    <app_info>
     <app>
     <name>milkyway</name>
     </app>
     <file_info>
      <name>milkyway_0.57_windows_intelx86__ati14.exe</name>
      <executable/>
     </file_info>
    
     <app_version>
      <app_name>milkyway</app_name>
      <version_num>57</version_num>
      <plan_class>ati14</plan_class>
        <flops>1.0e11</flops>
        <avg_ncpus>0.05</avg_ncpus>
        <max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
        <coproc>
          <type>ATI</type>
          <count>.5</count>
        </coproc>
      <file_ref>
       <file_name>milkyway_0.57_windows_intelx86__ati14.exe</file_name>
       <main_program/>
      </file_ref>
     </app_version>
      
    </app_info>
    This will not work with command line options - I tried, but I think they are going to have to update the code to do so. Regardless, this version works and will run 2 WUs at a time; if you unsync them, you should have a pretty constant high load on the GPU and not have to wait for the next WU to load.

    This was standard practice with the older ATI opti app version because the WUs were so short.

    Re: MW Work

    The new app really sucks! It is much slower than the old .23 Gispel version (75s versus 108s on a 950 MHz 5870). It also uses 1/2 a CPU core per wu. On my Q6600 quad running AQUA and driving a 5970 I was only getting 50% GPU loading. Turning off all CPU crunching the load went up to 96% on both GPUs.

    On the I7 with a single 5870 I can run AQUA and still get 96% GPU loading.

    MW is NOT paying double credits yet. Once they get the current app stable they will make an announcement telling which days you can do double dipping

    EDIT: The app_info works great Max ..... thanks!

    I ran just a few trying to get the app_info file working. I saw quite a bit of variance in WU times.

    And yea, regenerating code is ugly... but they did seem to up the credits.
