[New release] BRP app v1.22 feedback thread

Posted 439 days ago by Oliver Bock It's not. The reason isn't a flaw in our runtime estimation (stored in the work unit definition) but BOINC's new automatic runtime estimation system (a.k.a. new credit system) we're also testing here on albert... Oliver |

Posted 440 days ago by Oliver Bock Since v1.21/v1.22 update, I have got a lot of validation errors. Same as for "[AF>Le_Pommier] McRoger": no working OS X OpenCL app for the time being... Oliver |

Posted 440 days ago by Oliver Bock Same for me, my results 1) Please read my intro post of this thread. The Mac version is known to produce invalid results. We already disabled it. 2) Your GPU is simply not that efficient that's why it takes so long. It's not about the platform but the GPU. 3) The message you quote is an "INFO" message, so no, it's not the reason. It's normal when a fresh dataset is being analyzed for the first time - there can't be any checkpoint then. HTH, Oliver |

Posted 440 days ago by Oliver Bock Hi Jord, So, pretty please, can the fpops estimate be adjusted enough that they don't come in thinking to take 200+ hours? I'll forward this to Bernd but he's pretty overwhelmed with more important topics right now and the BOINC devs are of little help analyzing this right now. Please bear with us. Cheers, Oliver |

Don't know but could be if vbox acquires the GPU somehow... Oliver |

Well, S6LV1 tasks are not the same as BRP tasks. S6LV1 tasks re-use data already present on your host while BRP data is only used once, for a single WU. Looking at the error output of the failed S6LV1 task should tell us what happened. Please open another thread for that problem if it persists. This thread is meant to discuss BRP v1.22 only. Cheers, Oliver |

Posted 445 days ago by Oliver Bock No X windows here, I'm running win7 Oops, sorry :-) When you start the BOINC client it'll list all GPUs in the event log (advanced view). For AMD/ATI devices it might talk about CAL and OpenCL - we're interested only in the latter. You should find the list of GPUs more or less at the top of the event log, right before the registered projects are mentioned. Oliver |

Posted 445 days ago by Oliver Bock Are there actually tasks available? I'm not receiving anything for my GPU. Yes there are and your config looks fine so far. Please have a look at the BOINC event log: did BOINC recognize your AMD GPU as OpenCL device? According to our logs it doesn't seem to be the case. You might need to reinstall the Catalyst driver. Also, remember to start the X server and make sure that BOINC can access the X display. If "clinfo" exists on your system you may use it to verify that your GPU is properly enumerated by OpenCL. Cheers, Oliver |

Posted 446 days ago by Oliver Bock should we dump Wu's still using the 1.21 app? I've noticed a few inconclusives and errors on that app. not seeing any problems from other GPU projects Depends on what errors you saw. If they are memory-related you probably want to reset your project. You'll be resent the same tasks but they'll be crunched with the latest app version which required less memory (OpenCL only). Cheers, Oliver |

Posted 446 days ago by Oliver Bock Just to be sure: By "latest Catalyst driver (>=12.1)" you mean "AMD Catalyst™ 11.11 - Revision number 12.1" ? That's just because of AMD's sloppy web editing. The one you found is the 12.1 driver. Oliver |
