Re: HCC with GPU

May we have a nice example app info for this project? There is a fatal flaw in which it attempts to consume 100% GPU usage while starving the desktop of framerates, therefore making using a computer with this running unbearable.

Re: HCC with GPU

I got 75-85% GPU utilization with ~2-3% CPU core utilization - it's ok to browse internet but watching movies is unbearable. Even with all that "superior" UVD3 of HD7k. But hey - F@H has the very same problem - as it is always when most work is done on GPU alone. Everything else become low priority and so desktop may appear sluggish.
What is weird - I'm getting flooded with the very same WUs, I actually did already some 30 tasks and there were only 3 or 4 different WUs - that means I crunch over and over the very same WU ten times or so... when I look at WU properties quorum is set to 2 - so I guess something is terribly wrong here because I send dozens of results for one WU and I guess other users too - than means few hundreds or even thousands of results per WU. I guess GPU can err much more frequently than CPU, but hey... few hundreds or thousands results to get validation?

Did you noticed that when the last digits are the same, the digits in the middle of the name are different?

I did only after your post. Number is so long and both first 8 digits and last 10 looks the same. Key is what's between them I guess (4 digits - so hard to notice on first look)

edit: I notices that task end up on 99.415% within first 3 minutes - then GPU utilizations goes to 0% and nothing happens for another ~1min, in that time CPU utilization goes 100% (one core, not whole) and I guess data from GPU is collected and "postprocessed". So for 3.2GHz Athlon II that means 3min of GPU work + 1min of CPU work versus ~90mins of CPU only work. Nice speedup, but in that rate we'll complete all GPU WUs very quick. What'll happen then? :)

I don't have this problem with my HD 7950, but the problem is that the project was programmed to suck up every bit of the graphics card, completely disregarding the fact that it should give the desktop and other video resources higher priority in the queue. Thus there is a fair amount of lag before the graphics card receives the command to refresh the screen. My HD 6850s experience this, so I believe my 7950 is mostly unaffected because it has, computationally, more raw power than HCC can effectively use.

It maybe the GPU you're using. I can run GPU WUs and watch a 1080p high frame rate video at the same time with a HD 7870. And that's running 5 WUs at a time.
