Guide to running multiple GPU work units

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Add me to the list of people running out of GPU WUs.

Edit: I emptied the buffer, removed Boinc, installed it again and added the file and it looks OK.

Pmed with some info for you.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

I put the file in and I'm crunching 2x GPU WU's but no CPU WU's? wtf? I reset the project.. but still no CPU work...

Make sure sn2s is checked in your profile on wcg site.

Also guys I have found it is better to make a special profile just for the rig/rigs running the app_info file. Only have checked whats in the app_info file or you may receive errors. Usually the device manager on wcg site controls the work you receive. You added a file to your client which is trying to take that control away. So the site is trying to force the work to your rig and the App_info file is stopping it from doing it and you get an error. Best if just to make a seperate profile which only has the has the work checked that your app_info file has and nothing no where else.


Sorry for the double post.

Is it an app_info.xml file? Did you put the file in the right folder?

 

[da_vid]

I put the file in C:\ProgramData\boinc\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org.

 

[Daimus]

I put the file in C:\ProgramData\boinc\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org.

And after putting the file exit BOINC and restart it again? I don't know, it's working fine by me. Maybe KieX knows?

 

[da_vid]

yes allow new task and update

 

[Norton]

Is it still showing as a text file (right) or an xml file (left)?

 

[da_vid]

xml file

 

[Norton]

Not sure what the issue is with yours then????

 

[da_vid]

in the folder C:\ProgramData\boinc\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org. TYPE is written XML

 

[da_vid]

thanks norton I leave it like that it piss me off now

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Are you saving it as a xml file or renaming it to a xml file?

 

[da_vid]

I create the file with notepad, i try to save as ''all file''after i retry text

i type app_info.xml for the name of the file

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

That should work. Are you using the app info file for your brand of card?

 

[Mindweaver]

When you save it put "" around it. like "app_info.xml" and save in notepad.

 

[da_vid]

yes ATI only gpu
ATI/AMD GPU ONLY (No CPU work)

 

[KieX]

yes ATI only gpu
ATI/AMD GPU ONLY (No CPU work)

This may sound silly, but have you tried restarting the computer?

 

[da_vid]

yes i'll try to restart the pc nothing work for me

 

[KieX]

yes i'll try to restart the pc nothing work for me

hope that works. since you have the file and everything in place, I imagine there must be something that's preventing it from loading correctly. hopefully by restarting you can kill off any processes that may be preventing that.

 

[da_vid]

i received a error message WCG_HCC1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86_ati_hcc1 in boinc manager

 

[KieX]

i received a error message WCG_HCC1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86_ati_hcc1 in boinc manager

Can you click on "update" in the projects tab of advanced view? And then copy what it says on the BOINC event log? (CTRL+Shift+E)

I imagine at this point it's read the file which it hadn't before.. and just need to suss out what's needed to get it going.

Seems like there might be something wrong with the xml file. The log shows it's got a problem referencing the information inside. Hard to tell.

I'm attaching my file try replacing yours with this one.. then restart BOINC.. see if it still happens.

 

[da_vid]

i replace my file with your and still have the same error message

and i don't have and receive any task now


same error with a fresh install
