    Re: Collatz: Collatz Back Online with Solo Collatz Only

    I put a couple files in the collatz directory that I thought might work but no go, right now I can't even get the project to send me any work ...

    I downloaded what I think is the proper files from the collatz project & will try later to see if I can get it running at the speed it should run ...

    Re: Collatz: Collatz Back Online with Solo Collatz Only

    I spent a little time with it this morning on a system with a 570 and one with a 7970. I had to detach and re-add the project. From there it downloaded work without doing anything else.

    570 - 33 min/wu @ 92% usage. I don't believe I tweaked this one at all.

    7970 - 57 min/wu @ 47% usage. I did add Slicker's settings to the application configuration file, but did not use an app_config. Not sure why it wants to use most of a cpu core and BoincTasks shows it uses next to none. Anyway, 2 tasks/7970 will probably be needed to get the usage closer to 99%.

    Re: Collatz: Collatz Back Online with Solo Collatz Only

    I was running 1 solo Wu in under 20 Min's on my HD7870 for close to 5 days without doing a thing, I just downloaded some Wu's & ran them & was using 98%-99% of the GPU without any added files. Then yesterday morning for whatever reason the Wu's started taking 50 Min's each, now I've been messing around for the last 1.5 days trying to get that GPU Usage back, will try the files tomorrow morning & see what I get ...

    57 Min for 1 solo Wu on a 7970 is way to long if a 7870 will do them in under 20 Min's, may as well put them on a better paying or quicker running GPU Project for more Credits ...

    Agreed, but I'll try some further tweaking on it tonight and report any positive results.

    Have Faith all you QWERTY challenged volunteers who cannot master using a mouse that has more than one button, if this 70+ year old Sickly BOINC Volunteer can get the Collatz Solo GPU WU's running like they should then anybody aged 8 to 80 probably can get them running like they should ... lol ... Spent some time playing around with Collatz Files on my HD7870 this morning & then a little more this afternoon because what I tried this morning didn't work. I hate to count my QWERTY's before they Type but the 7870 is running the solo Wu's again & running them faster than before.

    172539 152970 139550 11 Feb 2014, 19:23:45 UTC 13 Feb 2014, 20:20:08 UTC Completed and validated 914.70 840.42 7,493.43 solo_collatz v6.04 (opencl_amd_gpu)
    172516 152948 139550 11 Feb 2014, 19:23:45 UTC 13 Feb 2014, 20:33:32 UTC Completed and validated 902.23 829.10 7,257.81 solo_collatz v6.04 (opencl_amd_gpu)

    Before they were running in the 18-20 Min Range & then started messing up & jumped up to to 40-45 Min Range but now they seem to be running about 15 Min's Flat, I even gained 1 Thread back so I can use 7 of the 8 CPU Threads for CPU Work. So just when I thought I was just to Damn Dumb to run BOINC anymore like the Blind Squirrel I found an Acorn ... lol ... I hope they stay that way though, seems like every time I do get them running right within a few days they start to mess up again, time will tell.
