![]() ![]() Sleep=1 <- try this setting with 1 or 0 to see which is best for you.(only needed for Nvidia cards ) If you like you can try a few settings you find in this thread. collatz_sieve_1.30_windows_x86_64_opencl_ati_gpu.configįor Nvidia Cards it's collatz_sieve_1.30_windows_x86_64_opencl_nvidia_gpu.config EG: For AMD cards it's a text file called. The file name will be similar to the GPU app that your using. The settings file can be found in the collatz folder (_collatz) which is can be found in the boinc data directory. It's a large increase over running multiple Wu's. It's possible to increase production close to 2 fold maybe even more depending on the GPU your using. A bit of reading and testing is required to see which setting work best for each GPU you have but it's by far the best way to go. I would like to get some indication about whether this problem (single task requiring multi-GPU resource) is known to developers and if there had been some work done about it before I jump on it.Hey Nudgey, yea you can and it does help a little but it's much more productive to tune your settings for best results. I probably should compile BOINC CC on my own. I already tried to run newer BOINC CC but I'm unable to use Berkeley-provided executable - my OS distribution is somehow elderly so system libraries are too old. However, as this project is only a wrapper around different type of distributed computing project, it's not totally in hands of project management to make needed changes to the crunching (I just can't call it science) application. There's some discussion on Moo! boards about making dnetc application nicer - so that it would only occupy designated GPU and not all of them. This is far from ideal as both tasks want to run on both GPUs. If I edit client_state.xml and decrease count of CUDA for Moo! to 1.0, BOINC CC starts a couple of Moo! tasks. As BOINC CC decided NVIDIA resources were not ample enough, both GPUs stayed idle. However, during this tests I disabled Einstein so it's only Moo! that wants to use NVIDIA. I don't have proper CUDA application for Seti (yet, see problem description right at the end of this post), Einstein provides with nice CUDA application. ![]() On this host I have multiple projects running: CPDN, Seti, Einstein and now Moo!. However BOINC CC claims that my system doesn't have enough NVIDIA GPUs available:Ġ 13:30:53 insufficient NVIDIA for dnetc_r72_1330613363_72_192_0 Project scheduler this correctly indicates by setting coproc count to 2.0. Their science application grabs all available GPUs. One example is project Moo! Wrap, which is a wrapper for DNETC projects. If this gets larger than 1.0, then it doesn't work at all. Tasks requiring NVIDIA coprocessor run fine until their requirement is 1.0.
