Elapsed time is used. This is taken from the CPU, but has nothing to do with the amount of CPU time the GPU task takes. For example,
Application Workunit name State Received 16/07/2011 10:30:21 Report Deadline 32/07/2011 10:30:41 Resources 0.14 CPUs + 1.00 NVIDIA GPU's Estimated app speed 48.78 GFlops/sec Estimated task size 5000000 GFlops Max RAM usage 95MB CPU time at last checkpoint 00:05:33 CPU time 00:05:42 Elapsed time 00:34:27 Estimated time remaining 09:03:38 Fraction done 7.955% ... Note the CPU time at last checkpoint is after 5min 33sec of CPU usage by the task, not wall-clock time since the task started. The elapsed time is the time the GPU task has been running |

Babylon 5 for sure. To give a correlation, in old the UD agent would be clocking 24 hours "runtime" in a day [the reference WCG gives on the My Grid and other stats pages], regardless if the UD agent was getting 25% of the CPU cycles or 100%. Hence, forever will WCG be stuck with this mixed pool on the stats, to which runtime aka elapsed time of the GPU job would get added.

One question if the GPU part of the BOINC client is enabled, it means they co-process?

Hi Saul,
Yes, only a fraction of 1 CPU thread is used to control the GPU process(es). In effect, 1 CPU thread will than control 2 jobs, or more, if there are more GPU cards. Never read how BOINC distributes multiple GPU jobs on a multi-core/thread system. Pretty sure you can GPU crunch without running *CPU-Only* jobs and do that at different times, but that requires advanced tuning I'd imagine :D --//-- |

Hi Sekerob I hope BOINC is better than Folding@Home GPU client, because I had to do a lot of research and fine-tunning with it so I can have 100% GPU usage and no much BSODs/lag. I'll search a BOINC GPU project just to see how it performs after reinstalling Win7 as I mentioned on another thread. Cheers.

Is there any news about GPU being used in research with WCG? I just mentioning it as we have APU coming out into the market. With openCL being more supported does this make it easier to code projects for GPU crunching?

Hello dreamer77dd,
We are seriously trying to get HCC running on OpenCL. But there is no news to add to what has already been posted. Lawrence |

Hi everybody,
----------------------------------------introducing new crunching platforms and focusing at the same time a high level of quality, consistency, and reliability for the results represents a very strong demanding challenge. The problems experienced by the Betas since end of July 2011, showing limited - but impacting - discrepancies between results provided by AMD and Intel CPU are one of these evidences. GPU computing is an impressive area. However the reliability and consistency of the results is much more important for the type of projects supported by WCG than the "simple" support of new technologies. Cheers, Yves |

With increasingly less time left on the HCC project, I really don't see the benefit of creating an OpenCL platform other than another new project that uses the same application. Granted, there are things to be learned, but concentrating on a project that is ending very soon doesn't make tremendous sense to me.
