1) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : it's time to ask for help (Message 112029) Posted 4 May 2012 by Trog Dog Post: Milkyway requires double precision ... my 5570 does not have this feature. Collatz ... ATI only for Windows. I'm running only linux. But the good thing is: the POEM app generates valid results just like PrimeGrid does. So I'm sure my card is fine, the box is fine ... but then there must be something wrong with the albert application. I was going back with the libc6, the libc6-i383 und the lib32gcc1 from the testing to the stable release and restartet the boinc. I will give albert another try. But then ... I don't know. Stephan The collatz linux app is available under the optimised apps link on their front page from memory.

6) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : [OpenCL] app v1.20/v1.21 feedback thread (Message 111830) Posted 7 Feb 2012 by Trog Dog Post: First successfully completed opencl wu http://albert.phys.uwm.edu/result.php?resultid=109919 @HVMargus - thankyou for your help. I don't use ubuntu, but this may help you - remove the SDK then follow the instructions in the wiki for removing older versions of catalyst, then reinstall, configure and reboot (gentoo always recommends rebooting after upgrading catalyst)

I use this. http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide I make debs and install then. My boxes are gentoo, all I had to do was unmask the unstable package and compile it.

9) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : [OpenCL] app v1.20/v1.21 feedback thread (Message 111825) Posted 6 Feb 2012 by Trog Dog Post: I don't have the SDK installed, one box has Catalyst 11.12 and the other two 11.11 which provides the opencl drivers. I also have 32bit version of libGLU.so installed as mentioned in the developer release notes. Maybe we can get some feedback from those successfully returning results from 64bit linux machines with ATI/AMD gpus.
10) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : [OpenCL] app v1.20/v1.21 feedback thread (Message 111818) Posted 6 Feb 2012 by Trog Dog Post: I have no idea whether poems app is a fully boinc compliant app, but they certainly use the boinc opencl detection features - as stated in this thread - to be able to get and run the opencl app you need a 7.0.x client. As to the number of gpus each of my 3 boxes only has a single gpu. May I suggest that you release a 64bit opencl app, if that works (at least detects the opencl features) then the problem lies in the detection of 32bit capabilities on a 64bit machine.
11) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : [OpenCL] app v1.20/v1.21 feedback thread (Message 111816) Posted 5 Feb 2012 by Trog Dog Post: I think its restricted to linux 64 bit machines Whay it download app if it is restriced. It not find x86 opencl file because folder locations different in x64 App itself not get opencl file info because it look it another place but it not look it on both folders. Boinc itself detect x64 file but we needed 32bit one. Drivers supply both files. I meant the problem is restricted to 64bit machines.
