Looking to cut and paste your app_info so I can get my gpu to use more than measly 50%. Thanks,
http://www.setiusa.us/showthread.php...ll=1#post41769 see this thread and the explanations of slicker on this App and the changes he made. This is the one I was using before the simap challenge. Good luck Mike. Maybe Zombie is using it and maybe he made some changes on this App.
This will run 8 ATI WUs per GPU using 0.5 CPUs per WPU. Technically, the GPUs require 0.58 CPUs but I refuse to let a "GPU app" use more than half an i7's cores:

I'm seeing this error. I'm running Win 7 Ult. 64. Could that be the problem?

Here it goes Mike sorry for my bad knoledge of this thing.
Well Mike I tried to zip and download the file but it has 1.23 Mb that is more than the permited for this kind of file. I can send zip or unzipped for your email if you want. I just don't know how to do it in here but it is somewhere on Musketeers Forum. I will see and tell you later.
Ric
- With no app_info.xml, attach to the project, and download at least one task. That will also get the application downloaded.
- Quit BOINC
- *Then* add the app_info.xml to the project directory. Make sure the app name in the app_info.xml matches the actual app name (downloaded in #1)
- Start BOINC
- The downloaded task will get removed, new apps will be downloaded, and crunching will begin.
...what zombie said.
An app_info expects you to already have all the files listed in it. It will not download any applications from the project, only the workunits. So, you either have to manually download the files from <project_url>/download (but you have to know which files are needed) or let BOINC do it by not using an app_info.xml until after it has downloaded everything it needs to run the project (much easier).
Got it running thanks for the help.
I have this running in my box with a x6 cpu and a 5970 and a 5870. I'm running 6 gpu wus and 1 cpu wu. I can't get the gpu to use more than 35 to 40% of the gpus. With the above configuration, my cpu usage sits at about 90 to 95%.
I've tried using .125 and I get no cpu tasks running, 8gpu wu's running on gpu0 6 running on gpu1 and none running on gpu2. CPU usage sits pinned at 100%.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Well for some reason Poem does not dl any tasks. Checked the project settings and it is set to receive Nvidia work. I check the project folder and it's empty. :mad: I have not tried to use the XML file yet just trying to get a wu. any ideas? I tried to dl the file directly from poem as Slicker suggested. I picked this one (http://boinc.fzk.de/poem/download/po...ncl_nvidia_100) and dl'd it directly from the Poem servers. Put it into the Poem project folder and it tried to dl work but failed.
When I added the above to the Poem project folder it requested work but said download fail missing something. I closed Boinc before writing down what it said was missing. Sorry. Tried detaching and reattaching, no good. Tried attaching manually without Bam, no good. Tried punting my computer out the window, well not yet but that may be next. :p
Had the same problem with Poem a couple of months ago and I had to do a network transfer of both the application file and app_info from a rig that was working. You can do the same thing by saving it anywhere but the project folder.IIRC, I had to do this 3 times before it actually stuck. Very weird. Maybe it just figured I was hardheaded and it gave up deleting the application file.
Now that you mention that I had to do the same thing on a rig running WCG a while back.
@ Mike; I don't know if this will work from an AMD machine to an Intel machine but I guess it's worth a try. And FWIW I have all of my machines running 7.0.31 without issues although mine are all Intel.
:) Yeha nice 8 core computers(are 8 core aren't it?), most of them, I think. I have just take a look. Nice computers nanoprobe. :D

Only 86? Do you have a power plant only for you? :p
\m/ Very nice and long list, damn, that list is long ... Maybe the same size of the power bill. :o
I know it's a long list but only 7 of those are in service and of those only 5 are running at this time. For whatever reason boinc keeps track of every machine that's ever run on your network. I play around a lot with different OSs and setups and each one registers as a new device on the network.
Yes I know nanoprobe, I was joking.
Every computer is on the database for at least one year after the last crunch credits, I think.
I had a lot also but they were in fact only 3 and now they are only 2.
Joking Duke
Fixed and Thank You CH!!!
I would try to take the flops (<flops>2.1e10</flops>) and expect the system to choose the default. I know I am not the best help but have you tried that yet? I had once troubles with that. I don't even know very well what that line does.
Mike, had this twice as well on my single PCIe slot Dell box, as soon as I took any AMD/ATI card out and put any of my GTX in instead, BUT, and that is the point, left the AMD/ATI drivers installed.
For some stupid reason, NVidia drivers refuse to work, when there is an AMD/ATI driver installed for the exact same slot. Competition BS from NVidia to hassle AMD owners, I guess.
From the messages output you were so wise to post I conclude there is no other graphics card in this system and from my recent poor experience with NVidia drivers regarding their competitor I conclude this must be it. Use DriverFusion (successor of DriverSweeper) to clean any AMD/ATI remnants directly after stock uninstall as well, then reboot!
After this procedure, my GTX 480/680 always purred along happily...
Hope this guessing in relative dark of mine helps! :) ;)
Oh and reduce the number of parallel POEM tasks in your app_info to four, I suggest, since one needs 256 MB and you have 1024 MB; had the same with my GTX 480 (1536 MB) and seven instead of six, instantly the average runtime jumped a lot higher than sixteen percent relative to six. IIRC it was around 23 percent higher relatively! Reason as far as I could determine: the data with seven at once was copied out from RAM and into the VRAM and vice versa all the time, as the memory controller was double as active relative to six at once...
For the same reason watch the VRAM clocks! When the driver has reset the VRAM clock is at lowest possible stock and the average runtime leaps in an unwanted direction. At least that was the case twice with one of my GTX 680s I had kicked a little too hard too far. ;)
Ric, that line tells the server one running instance of this application has the performance in FLOPS given in that line under the settings chosen, e.g. for coprocessor or number of tasks in parallel and CPU.
Then for correct estimation of the average runtime of a single task the server has to calculate the Duration Correction Factor (DCF) for every single result uploaded and report this to your computer.
This line in fact is superfluous, you can erase it, but perhaps only after you have downloaded a two days' worth of cached work!
In the following you will get standardized WUs with default settings from the server and the DCF has to be adapted to a very small number, for GPU computing at least.
That did it!!! The AMD driver were causing the problem. Funny that there was no problem when the AMD card we installed. I removed the card and sent it in for repair, did not want to uninstall the drivers as I'm going to put the card back in when it is returned.
Thank you CH you are a genius.. Or I'm a dummy. :o Anyway the problem is fixed and my 560 Ti is crunching away at Poem.
Now come on, Mike, this has neither anything to do with you being a dummy nor me being a genius! :) It has to do with having seen that crap and thinking "WTF, am I stupid?" also at that time...
Glad it did help, though, great for the long-term POEM quest! ;)
Now that you mention it, I THINK I had seen that crap happening also when taking out the 7970 for RMA due to unnatural fan noise problems (which could have been lost by the "great" DHL on its way to the retailer, argh). :( :mad:
So it MIGHT be only working when there is actually an AMD card installed in the respective rig.
Anyway, it hope it is only a strange bug/glitch/whatever in the most recent WHQL NVidia driver and not updated, yet stupid policy of NVidia to suppress a competitor.
I had been ripping out AMD/ATI cards out of my single x16 PCIe slot Dell box all the time and installed the GTX 480 instead with both driver brands installed all the time...
Err, we will have to wait and see. :(
OT: I was wondering who that was that recently ran over me at POEM. Nice to meet you CH.:D Just about the time I get dusted off STE\/E will be here. :cool:
OT: Nice to meet you too, NP! No hard feelings for running over you, right? ;)
I have been run over like two dozen times since my February #6 there, you were one of them running over me, I guess, and now it is payback time. :))
Just kidding, good to have you here and especially at POEM crunching! :) I take it you joined SUSA entirely?
:p Beware the Duke is back to POEM. nanoprobe keep an eye on the Duke. :D
Very Fast Duke

Yeah, fast like the two snails sitting on the back of a turtle, one of them turning to the other and shouting with eyes wide open: "Hold on, Fred! Here we go!" :)) ROFLMAO
Hehene... Sorry, Ric, just kidding...
Me and another friendly snail were assaulted by a turtle. The police came and ask him what happened, he just said I don't know all that happened so fast like in a flash ...
Lol and nevermind. The cause was my own stubbornness. Was still using BOINC version 6.something.or.other. Updating solved the problem :/
Not a prob, John! Those are the joys of BOINCing. :))
I was just about to answer, no, the free version does it so far, if they do not further restrict its functionality due to commercial interests... :p
I did license a home 5+1 pro version of ProcessLasso some time ago, but that was merely my thankfulness for a great piece of software rather than acquiring more functionality... ;)
