It's been discussed several times in this forum and it is explained in BOINC documentation as well. You just need to dig a bit.

As to the file you mentioned you may want to try the Anonymous platform for which you'll need the app_info.xml file with correct executable name inside. This file needs to be placed inside the project folder and should look like:
<app_info>
<app>
    <name>period_search</name>
</app>
<file_info>
    <name>period_search_10213_windows_x86_64__fma_win10.exe</name>
    <user_friendly_name>Period Search Application</user_friendly_name>
    <executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
    <app_name>period_search</app_name>
    <version_num>10213</version_num>
    <platform>windows_x86_64</platform>
    <avg_ncpus>1.000000</avg_ncpus>
    <flops>395282539830.479430</flops>
    <api_version>7.9.0</api_version>
    <plan_class>fma_win10</plan_class>
    <!-- <max_ncpus>X</max_ncpus> -->
    <!-- <cmdline>args</cmdline> -->
    <file_ref>
        <file_name>period_search_10213_windows_x86_64__fma_win10.exe</file_name>
        <main_program/>
    </file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>

Or for the AVX app you need to point to this app:
period_search_10213_windows_x86_64__avx_win10.exe

and change the "plan_class" to:
avx_win10

Replace the numbers in "flops" with those from your "client_state.xml"

Hi guys,
this is about to change with the next release.

Simon Jäkle,

It seams to me you haven't red any of our informative materials at all, stating out loud such ignorance on the project goals.

But it's OK, I'll help you with that right away.
If you haven't seen this article, may be now is the time to take a look on it:


Unfortunately it is still in Chech only, but you can use bowser's tool to translate it:


If you dig a bit more you will find the DAMIT - Database of Asteroid Models from Inversion Techniques (English). There is huge amount of information (including scientific publications) on the subject.

And last but not least if you still have that feeling and you're not satisficed, you always are welcome to join one of the so many other projects out there.

Any support for Mac OS X ?? Many of us have AMD cards ...

Soon. But only for the CPU tasks. For now.

Sorry, only computers can run it. Why do people buy those incompatible overpriced things?

LOL
Don't listen to Peter (Lamberto). He is well known for his British humor.

Any news on a new program version Georgi?
Nope.

I'm still having to manually abort a lot of the tasks on the 280X cards (OpenCL 1.2) and a few on the Nano (OpenCL 2.0). Plus faster would be nice if you can fix that memory problem.
Have you tried the AMD Pro drivers as i suggested earlier?

I will suggest to use the most stable enterprise grade driver Radeon™ Pro Software for Enterprise 21.Q1.2 from AMD Radeon™ R9 280X Drivers & Support. It is listed right below the Adrenalin Edition driver.

It is highly recommended to use "Pro" drivers from AMD than the Adrenalin drivers, when they are available, especially when we talk about science.

BTW I get a 404 error on that link you sent me
That's because he used Bing, I've never found anything on Bing but adverts, it's made by Microsoft, and nothing by Microsoft ever works. Try Google, or even better, Duckduckgo (then you get to tell people to duck it!)


LOL

Hi Wprion,

All the information is available through DAMIT database. You will find a link to it on our main page:
https://www.asteroidsathome.net/ -> DAMIT
or direcly
DAMIT ->Documentation.
Then you may want to take a look on Occultations (OCC*.pdf) section and read the "Combining asteroid models derived by lightcurve inversion with asteroidal occultation silhouettes" paper by Josef Durec (the preprint PDF 468 KiB).

At 2.2 he says:
All models were derived by the lightcurve inversion method described in Kaasalainen and Torppa (2001) and Kaasalainen et al. (2001).
* * *
Their orientation in space at any given time can be computed from the ecliptic longitude and latitude (λp, βp) of the spin axis direction (the z axis in the asteroid Cartesian coordinate frame), the sidereal rotation period P and the initial rotation angle ϕ0 given for some epoch.

Cheers,
Georgi

Pushing this down as it was moved from News and went quite behind.

The IGP of my Athlon-A12 9800E wants to do another 2234 days, processing the AMD GPU WU...having done 0.019% in 10 hours
I'm aborting it

Thanks ahorek's team

Good point. Both suggestions are taken in to consideration. Will look into it at first chance.

As to the idea of disabling the TDRLevel, that didn't work for me. I only achieved total freeze of the interface until reboot. The only thing that worked (till some point) was the TDRDelay. But it had side effects on the behavior of the UI, locking you out for the time specified if the issue has been raised. So be careful with that. From my experience if the issue persists it's a problem with the code. Another sharp edge that needs to be polished at first chance.

Radeon HD 6900 is a 13-year-old trash.

This is some very strong language.
It seams you cannot even imagine that not everybody can afford RX 6900. So, try to be more polite next time.

Everyone is welcome to contribute to this project with no matter if his equipment is aged.
As to what hardware is or will be supported is up to the Asteroids@home's team and it's developers.

Despite the delay there is a new version of the SSE2 application for the Windows XP (x86 & x64) with fixed logic which now is using the right SSE2 intrinsic instructions.

You can give it a try and send some feedback.

Is there particular reason why you keep that machine with such an old software?

I can trace the AMD's driver version 01800.8 (VM) or 18.00 back to the 2015 while there is 23.10 available already.

And of course my next question is about the Windows 10 itself which is run by your machine - build 10.00.14393.00, traced back to the 2016, without a single update for the past 7 years?

Could you try to update at least the AMD's driver?
AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 Series Drivers & Support

Meanwhile I'll check my options to produce another build using hyper older MSVC tools.

Best,
Georgi

You may post here any any troubles, issues and questions related to the AMD OpenCL applications.

Let's keep things in order.

Shooting in the dark, have you tried "Reset project"?
As a final resort you may try and reinstall boinc.

There is a new application released 102.19.

Your tasks was served with the alpha version 102.15 which had many issues.

Hi everyone,

We are proud to announce our new OpenCL applications for AMD GPUs!
Development process took some time but we finally managed to build it.
There are still many rough edges to be polished but thanks to you guys and to your feedback we'll continue to improve the code.

Linux application requires 64 bit OS with GLIBC v2.31 or higher and will run on most AMD Radeon GPU cards and some AMD Integrated Graphics with support of OpenCL 1.1 or higher.

Windows application requres 64bit Windows 10 or 11 and will run on most AMD Radeon cards and some AMD Integrated Graphics with support of OpenCL 1.2 or higher.

Happy crunching and thank you for your support!

Good to hear it's working.

At the moment there is an issue utilizing too many cores and memory allocation, so yes, there is a limitation.
I've ordered one RX 580. When it arrives I'll try to find what is wrong with kernel execution on bigger grid. Can't say much more for now.
