Posted 3 Apr 2017 by cliff Post: Hi Tom, Resends? I got 3 resends.. if the WU ends in 2 or greater its a resend:-) The server doesn't seem to show those unless they are waiting for D/L |

Posted 2 Apr 2017 by cliff Post: Hi Fr. Micka, The project lead has had to start over from scratch in a new job, with few resources. In my view he's doing ok. Nearly every project I've crunched for has problems, including a lack of WU and or being offline or other server problems. |

Posted 2 Apr 2017 by cliff Post: Hi, Once again the project is out of work, I assume that the project team is aware of this and will sort it out during working hours. |

Posted 2 Apr 2017 by cliff Post: Hi, Yes, A@H server is out of work until more are generated, this happens now and then.. Unfortunate about the competition... Regards |

Posted 19 Mar 2017 by cliff Post: Looks as if there's another server glitch, no work is being generated, getting no work available log messages.. Guess something needs a bit of a push:-) |

Posted 6 Mar 2017 by cliff Post: Hi Remarc, I PM'd the project lead last Saturday, no doubt he'll get the server sorted out when he can. Regards, |

Posted 6 Dec 2016 by cliff Post: Hi mmonnin, Ahh yes I did post app_config.xml file which is 100% correct and works. I am running it now. I don't recall editing any app_info file but I use cc_config.xml file to limit projects to one card or another. I used it to run asteroids on a 970 and E@H on a 1070 in the same machine. Before Asteroids released its Pascal capable app. The same app_config.xml file works then and now. Well, it simply failed to do anything for me:-) As I posted earlier I use 'exclude' to run 3 separate projects, each with its own dedicated GPU I'm assuming that the plethora of 'excludes' confused boinc and it just looked, saw the app_config.xml and did nothing about implementing it.. Not serious, new mobo arriving later today, so I'll be putting another late night running rig up with some old NVidia GPU's and that should take care of things. |

Posted 3 Dec 2016 by cliff Post: Hi Kashi,
Yeah, electrikery prices are a pita:-( Now and then I get bitten by the 'to hell' with it bug, and run my rigs 24/7 However a recent bout of said 'bug' left me having to pay and extra £256.37 to my supplier... So I've cut back again to run mainly off peak. I've [if the vendor' ever gets his finger out] a replacement server mobo coming and with that mobo I can run up to 6 GPU's [which I aint got right now] as well as about 8 cpu tasks.. The original mobo fired up and I got as far as installing Win7 and doing some of the mandatory updates, then after a reboot, it didn't and even after changing every component I had available it still failed to boot, so it went back, but its taken over 2 weeks and I still haven't got the replacement:-( If I can manage it I'll save up some more and buy another mobo, but from a more reputable vendor, Amazon methinks they don't quibble or mess about, but send replacemnts as soon as they are notified. Trouble is a similar Asus server board costs about a hundred quid more.. Time to tell my cat its on short rations:-) |

Posted 2 Dec 2016 by cliff Post: Hi kasha, Yup I use 'exclude gpu' to ensure that I can dedicate a particular GPU to a project. I run A@H, MW@H and E@H each one gets its own GPU:-) That way I don't have 99% completed tasks with 3 secs to go, dumped in favour of the next project to use the GPU, that used to 'really' annoy me:-) Anyway I lack the skill to make my own app_info, so for now at any rate the idea is on the back burner.. Thanks for your assistance. |

Posted 1 Dec 2016 by cliff Post: Hi Kashi, You ask for an app_info.xml file and then refer to an app_config.xml file. Yup I know they are different, and I've had a misconfigured app_info zilch WU before:-( The app-config was someone else's solution to the task of running 2 WU together on 1 GPU. I tried it, minor error on filename, boinc wanted the exact name as found in client_state, when I changed it to comply, boinc saw the file, logged it, but didn't run 2 WU. Since I'd already had tasks binned I decided to post asking for an app_info.xml but the reply I got was for an app_config.xml. I'd still like to see an app_info.xml to work with the current cuda exe from a@h. |

Posted 1 Dec 2016 by cliff Post: Hi JugNut, I've been around a bit:-) I know EXACTLY where ALL boinc related files are, including the a@h sub directory. I don't know what OS you use or what version of boinc. But on my rig, win7ult and boinc 7.6.22 it simply fails to do anything in the a@h sub directory, where it is supposed to go. And I've say here watching boinc detect the app_config.xml file and ignore its settings other then 1 error message saying there was NO period search application as named only the actual cuda .exe file that WAS there and when I changed the app_config to reflect the correct filename it no longer gave an error message but simply logged the existence of the app_config.xml file and ignored its settings.. |

Posted 1 Dec 2016 by cliff Post: Hi JugNut, Nope doesn't work here, boinc sees the file, doesn't error any part of it, but nowt happens, designated gpu carry's on working 1 task. As far as number capability, I'm running GTX 980Ti for A@H and have an 8 core CPU so can free another core for the added task.. If I could get it to work:-) |

Posted 1 Dec 2016 by cliff Post: Hi Mmonnin, <app_config> <app> <name>period_search</name> <max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.2</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> Well I can confirm that with boinc 7.6.22 under Windows7 ultimate it does NOT work:-) Errors out with unknown application, when I changed period search to the actual application name boinc says it see's it, but that's it! no change in number of WU run on the designated GPU.. Thanks for the advice, who knows what's actually preventing it doing what its told to do..But I did get boinc to actually see the aapp_config it just doesn't care to actually do owt:-) |

Posted 28 Nov 2016 by cliff Post: Hi Conan, yup, and its been included... but its still a no-go:-) I think I'll just bin the idea for now, that card is working pcie x8 right now so maybe it wasn't such a good idea in the 1st place. thanks for your help. |

Posted 28 Nov 2016 by cliff Post: Hi Folks, I'm trying to get an app_config to work but keep getting errors:-/ <app_config> <app> <name>period_search_10200_ windows_x86_64_cuda55.exe</name> <user_friendly_name>Period_Search_Application_102.00_(cuda55)</name> </app> <max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.04</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> Boinc doesnt see the ending </app> for some reason any ideas? |

Posted 24 Nov 2016 by cliff Post: Hi, Does anyone have an outline app_info.xml to run 2 tasks at the same time on an Nvidia GPU? Having tried in the past and having boinc dump my entire cache of WU, I thought that perhaps someone with a few more grey cells might have the anwer. Thanks |
