WCG Challenge Help Conquer Cancer (1st/2nd week of November)

[BUCK NASTY]

CPU is at 100% most of the time, with little dips in between. Should be like in that ss i pmd you. Nothing on the gpus yet, still messing with it.

Make sure you adjust you profile on the WCG website to allow GPU usage and select HCC work only.

 

[brandonwh64]

Should look something like this once GPU's get work

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

What else?


That's for trying to get multiple WUs running on each GPU. Honestly, I'd suggest skipping that for now. Let's get your GPUs crunching first, and then we can do multiple WUs/card after that

Thing is if he is going to run multiple wu's on the cards it best to set it up right at the begining. If not you have to blow out the client install to get it right.

I think we've got it sorted out--it's running a WU on one GPU, and I just PM'd him the cc_config info he needs to get both working

I think it's all working well. Although, 2nd gpu seems to be up at full clocks, while 1st kind of goes back and forth. But it's progress, as before they were always 2d clocks

So, when so the statistics update online at wcg?

WCG updates twice a day: ~8:30 AM and 8:30 PM. Due to the way the PM update works, you can see your points and runtime for the day at 8:30, but the rest of the stats aren't available until ~9:30-9:50

Hey guys, i'm always late to catch stuff like this ( mostly because i'm busy these days with my studies)
anyway, for various reasons i can't leave my rig to crunch 24/7 and can only have it running while being with it at home so i'm able to monitor it, and i'm currently running HCC and FA@H WU's only.
It's not much but i'm leaving it crunching as much as i can

Doc, we greatly appreciate whatever you can do!

 

[manofthem]

Sorry for being a nuisance, but I wanted to throw this out to all you pros and get your take on it. Is it looking right? To my uneducated eye, it's looking better....

Also, i wish there was a way to change my vote from Undecided to Yes!

The old Q6600 work rig did its magic overnight just fine, returned to my home rig however to be greeted by a blue screen xD not sure where the problem lies, but downclocked the cpu to 4.6ghz, and both gpus seem to be hanging around 56 degrees so all is good on those, guess tomorrow will tell me if it's stable or not!

@manofthem: seems alright

You've got a Q6600 @ 4.6Ghz??? That might be the problem.... I thought they were good for up to 3.4Ghz and then the temps would go crazy. They are 65nm after all.

NO! god no... work rig q6600 is at stock, my amd 6200 home main rig is at 4.6, was at 4.7

That's pretty high for an FX-6200 doing WCG work. If it starts throwing errors or BSOD's then consider dropping down to 4-4.2 and using your gpu's to do some of the heavy lifting.

FYI- power's back on at home but my DSL is still down Will be using my smartphone to get my WCG work updated manually until I get it back.... then the 980X and the 4P will come back online (both run Linux and can't use my smartphone on them)

That looks great! I'm glad we were able to get it sorted out!

 

[t_ski]

Looking for the 64-bit client now. Anyone already have a link to it?

ran it for 2 hours at 4.6 and seems to be stable with core temps at 54.8 degrees full load, so i think its good to go again tomorrow

OK, looking at this page:

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=157

it says click the link and it will automatically pick the client best for you. The one I downloaded says "...intelx86."

Still confused...

latest version from Berkeley

This should work, [Ion] linked it for me earlier

Your good T with the one you posted that is the one I use. The one from Berkley/Boinc will not work with multiple gpu units if you plan on doing that. This is what it looks like when running the app_info file with only gpu units on one card.

Weird. If you have any GNOME-derivative DE (GNOME 2.x/3.x, MATE, Cinnamon, Unity) you should be able to go to the networkmanager and add a "mobile broadband" connection. Works with my "simple" Samsung GT-C3300i using GPRS or whatever so it should work with your smartphone too, albeit I don't know whether this "modem" behaviour allows you to stay within your data plan using 3G or connects you charging money per byte (using 3G or any other wireless signal).

 

[Delta6326]

Is their a way to check if i'm running the 64 or 86bit? as I'm not for sure what one i installed if its the wrong one should I just uninstall it and re-install the x64?

 

[Peter1986C]

Check the installer file, if it says "x86_64" it is the 64 bit one.

 

[Delta6326]

Check the installer file, if it says "x86_64" it is the 64 bit one.

I already deleted that I always get rid of the installers after I use it.

This is what it says.

EDIT: NM I just found this.
