Anyone else having problems with the Donate Wu's hanging on the ATI Cards ???
Anyone else having problems with the Donate Wu's hanging on the ATI Cards ???
Not at the moment....
If you have a high OC maybe back it/them down 25~50 Mhz? I have noticed on at least one box that a reboot fixes some of the Donate issues.
My Video Cards aren't Overclocked at all, I've been running them at their Stock Speeds for awhile now. But on the 2 7970 Box's I've tried to run the Donate the Wu's hang after a bit. Right now I started another Donate Wu & it's showing 10 Min's run time & 32% done, the Wu should be completely done by now. I can't get the app_config.xml file to work either. The BOINC MGR say's it found a app_config file for the Donate Project but it's not doing anything ??? The Wu is at 12 Min's now & 50% done ... weirdOriginally Posted by Fire$torm
I know the last time I tried to run the Donate Project on my NVIDIA cards 580's & 570's it was taking forever to run the Wu's while others were showing much faster times, it's like I'm missing out on something but I don't have a clue what it might be ... Oh well the Video Cards needed more rest time anyway zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz lol

Looks like its working properly..... FTM
I'm getting work to 6 Box's but the Babysitting is terrible, about 1 out of 3 Wu's will hang & I have to suspend then resume to get the Wu to finish. I'd really like to get to 250 Million at the Project but it'll be slow fer sure ...
If you use BoincTasks (BT) to manage your boxes then there is a way to make the systems babysit themselves. The only caveat with my solution is that it only works on the local machine. So you have to set this up on each box with BT.
I set BT to run a batch file from the BT Rules section when a Donate tasks exceeds x amount of time where x is equal to average runtime + 5 minutes.
Here is a sample of my batch file Donate_Fix.bat Note: Edit directory paths to match location of boinccmd.exe
To create a rule in BT goto main menu and click Extra > BoincTasks Settings. In the pop-up window click the Rules tab.Code::@ECHO OFF CLS :BEGIN C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ nomorework C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ suspend CHOICE /N /D Y /T 10 C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ reset CHOICE /N /D Y /T 15 C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ resume CHOICE /N /D Y /T 5 C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ allowmorework C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ update :END Exit

F$, I run 2 Wu's @ a Time, they usually run about 18-20 Min's so what do I put in the 3 Choice Lines ??? Thanks, I'm trying to run Donate again, I can Babysit while I'm up but will shut the Project down when I go to bed rather than have the Wu's Hang. Will try the .bat file too, but can't do that until I know what to put in time wise for those 3 lines ...If you use BoincTasks (BT) to manage your boxes then there is a way to make the systems babysit themselves.

Yes, Choice is just being used as a timer to pause before the next command is read/executed, so you can adjust the number after /T (the number of seconds) to whatever you want them to be. The 3rd choice timer may not be necessary but it doesn't hurt anything to have it. The first two Choice lines I set based on my i7 920. Suspending most any project seems to lag on my i7. So if your systems respond faster to a manual suspend or reset from within BOINC Manager, you can shorten the 1st and 2nd Choice times.
Well, it's been a couple of days and still no work. Now adding to it, the website is missing user stats and server stats. Maybe they are pulling the plug but don't want to admit it...? Time will tell.
That would really annoy me since I was just about to work on getting 10M there. Even tasks that are downloaded can't complete without the server apparently. I had to abort one just now because it's just been wasting crunching time doing nothing and the deadline's been reached.
