View Full Version : PrimeGrid: I can't get PPS Sieve Work

OK. I'm doing something wrong, and I can't figure it out...

I'm trying to crunch PPS Sieve on my AMD 6950. I have the latest AMD driver installed, as well as the SDK thing they say it needs. Win7x64. BOINC 7.2.42. PG account has Use ATI/OpenCL checked, as well as the OpenCL option for the PPS Sieve subproject (and nothing else is checked). Card has been crunching away fine on other projects. I ask for PPS Sieve work, and I get this every time:

8/8/2014 6:23:34 PM | PrimeGrid | update requested by user
8/8/2014 6:23:36 PM | PrimeGrid | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
8/8/2014 6:23:36 PM | PrimeGrid | Requesting new tasks for ATI
8/8/2014 6:23:37 PM | PrimeGrid | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks

No error, nothing.

So where do I start with debugging? A nearly identical setup has the same issue, but is crunching the Genefer (WR) WUs just fine. I'm lost...

Update: Am I just a moron and should have looked here first? I mean, is this still accurate?

Isn't that proceeded by "These are not the droids we're looking for" ???

Do I just need to go post a link to this thread in the "I'm a moron" thread?

No need to re-post. We all do that kinda stuff from time to time. In this case no harm, no foul. ;) If we start double guessing ourselves when the answer isn't immediately apparent, then the forums would be so boring. lol

I turned my ATI GPU towards Genfer instead.

Ditto. I have one 6950 on the World Record ones, and one on the short ones.

On a side note, they seem to have turned on OpenCL PPS Sieve work. I woke up to find several WUs crunching away on the 6950s...

Without PPS GPU WU's, my RAC has plummeted. I cannot put up remotely the same numbers on MW, Moo or Einstein. :(
