Having trouble running one WU per GPU

[Mike029]

I copied the xml file from the sticky above but the Moo wus will not start. They just sit there. I'm using .31 the latest ati drivers running win 7 64. I know this way a problem before with Moo. I had it running before I switched to Milk and now, nothing.

Me also gives a message that is not a priority project and once in a while gives one task. I have Moo always open and can do some tasks a day but need to have other GPU project. I thought it was my OS that had a bad instalation but not in this case. When I press the actualization in Boinc projects sometimes give me one task. So is the .31 that is with problems.

My guess is that I'm going to have to go down to 6.xx to get Moo to work.

I think the 7.0 28 is working fine. I had run it before for a while.

I'm back to Boinc 6.xx.34 with 12.4 drivers. Moo is crunching now but I can't seem to get the xml file to crunch one per gpu. Below is a copy of my app_info.xml file. What did I do wrong?

Mike I don't understand your problem. Are you gettng 2 wu running on a single GPU and want 1 -or- are you running 2 GPUs and only 1 WU is running?

If it is the 1st then change count in the app_info to 1. If it is the 2nd then that is the way MOO works. It uses all available GPUs and crunches a single tasks. The MOO WU consists of multiple "packets" of work. If you have more than 1 GPU then the wrapper asssigns different packets to each GPU to be crunched.

If running multiple GPUs on MOO then you want them matched otherwise the faster card is in effect being slowed down. It will sit idle while the slower GPU finishes doing its thing.

Errrrrr, hmmmmmmm.... *cough cough*

I think I see the problem.

<app_info>
<app>
<name>dnetc</name>
<user_friendly_name>Distributed.net Client</user_friendly_name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>dnetc_wrapper_1.3_windows_intelx86__ati14.ex e</name>

Remove the space between x and e and restart BOINC.

Hope that's all it is.
