yeah... einstien seemed a little buggy to me... was killing my resources... some of my rigs became unusable while crunching einstien
hi, was just wondering if there will be gpu workunits available again?
Well, the last time we had GPU units was in summer 2009, when our CPU version of the AQUA app suddenly became much faster than the GPU version, making the credit levels go bonkers and making a lot of GPU users mad. Despite months of trying and a 7x speedup on the GPU version, we never got the GPU version faster than half the performance of a Core i7 CPU.
In contrast, the Fokker-Planck app would actually probably be faster on a GPU than on a CPU, but it'd take time for us to reorganize the code to run on GPUs, and we're always short on time. I'm currently focusing on getting our new open quantum system simulation app ready, among the several other projects I'm working on.
No more work for Aqua either.
And to stop MW using the CPU you need to uncheck 'Use CPU' in the MW project preferences.Is your gpu doing any work at all? You may want to check the boinc preferences at the project website (your account page) and make sure the answer for "Suspend GPU work while computer is in use?" is "no". If your gpu is not crunching at all, then something else is wrong. Boinc version 6.10.58 is the latest stable version that supports GPU crunching.
Primgrid definitely has good nVidia support for the Proth Prime Search Sieve project.
/* edit: disregard the rigs data in the signature - it is not up to date at this time. */
In the way of a bump (this was pretty far back):
How much CPU does PrimeGrid GPU use?
Thanks Rudy ToodyI'm using 0.13 CPU with 1 Nvidia GPU on GCW Sieve.
Thanks Rudy Toody
Another question then: Where do you see 0.13?
In my Task Manager (Win7) it only shows whole percent. For instance, on my i7 quad with HT, one full virtual core equals 12-13%.
Is 0.13 one full core of eight then?
I have a GTX275 - will this card run PrimeGrid WUs?
I selected yes to Use NVIDIA GPU and then I checked the two projects that use NVIDIA.
Why won't it run?
<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>
Thanks, yes that is what I meant by "I checked the two projects that use NVIDIA"Did you check each sub-project to use nvidia?
Thanks Peter, that's what it was!<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
