It turns out that Moo won't run on ATI with BOINC 7.x naturally. You need to use an app_info.xml. I am trying to run Moo now, and am running into this problem. I am sure some of us are already doing this. Can one of you please post your app_info.xml file?
Thanks!
I'm not running an app info on moo and I have boinc 7

Odd. For me, and people on their forums, tasks download and then just sit there. They never run.
wow im glad i havent updated boinc yet was to busy with prima bunkering..
Moo! has been the most stable GPU project for my AMD HD 6970 since upgrading to 7. I've had issues with donate, poem and albert.Quote:

Hey Zombie I just tested it. No issues so far.
Win7 x64
BOINC 7.0.25
CCC 12.3
Afterburner 2.2.0 Beta15
Edit: No app_info file
Yeah, both of my machines (one with dual 5870s, and one with a single 7970) will get tasks from moo, but not run them. And like I said, this problem is not unique to me. Other people in the forums are having the same problem. However, I did find an app_info.xml that does work. Don't let the app names throw you, like they did me (at first).
On a side note, is there any trick to getting moo to run on 7970s? Now that I have it running, I get nothing but errors with that GPU.

This is strange as I have never seen Moo not run on any of my 5xxx cards. Maybe it is an issue with the support files DL'd from the project server? I have zero experience with the 7xxxx cards. Tank_Master, Bryan or Ste\/e would be the ones to talk to.
BTW, you never mentioned your OS.
My os is win7 64. It doesn't happen to everyone, and it is not card-specific. But for those that have the problem, the only solution is an app_info.xml.
OK. And sorry you have had this experience. It is very strange. I wonder if it is OS specific? Can you post a link from the Moo thread discussing this please? I'm a tad tempted to try and duplicate the problem just to see.Quote:

I have been running Moo on 6.10.58 with my 5830s for many months.Quote:

Then why the heck is Moo even sending it work? Oh well, at least you have an answer.Quote:

The older BOINC server code just checked for the version of the driver and not whether CAL and/or OpenCL is supported. For some reason (probably because they could implement it faster), DA decided to make OpenCL a sub-class of ATI rather than a separate coprocessor type. So, if the server sees you have ATI (and you do because the OpenCL has to be reported as an ATI coprocessor) then it sends out ATI work.Quote:
