I didn't get any tasks and When adding WCG to BoincManager it requested work for CPU and ATi so I guess my settings do work. I only have alot of CPU tasks in cue A "use CPU" Y/N A "use GPU" Y/N that would be an useful option that here is missing. With what ATI/AMD GPU? Since it was such a short window, maybe your client didn't required any work during that time. |

Hi. =)
Whether the Radeon HD4 *** cards to get a beta WU? I did not get more than one. |

Hi. =) Whether the Radeon HD4 *** cards to get a beta WU? I did not get more than one. There are now THOUSANDS of us ALL wanting beta units to crunch, not everyone can get some as it is a first come first served delivery system. That means if your settings are not asking for work when the beta units are available you won't get any or many. Next time you could get hundreds and the rest of us get none, it really is the luck of the draw.   |

The only real solution to this is a separate scheduler for GPU tasks (suggested about 2years ago), which would fix numerous other issues too. Didn't they do this in the versions not yet supported by WCG? I KNOW people can use the newer versions of Boinc on WCG, but OFFICIALLY WCG does not support them yet. |

7.0.25

Today while checking the properties of WCG, I notice
----------------------------------------"Project has no apps for ATI GPU" in client_state.xml: <no_rsc_apps>ATI</no_rsc_apps> I look over my host @BAM, no check mark over "Do not use ATi GPU". So, I am wondering How am I suppose to get HCC-GPU-Beta WUs ? Can I safely remove that !offending! tag? :) Thanks. EDIT: BOINC 7.0.27, Win7-x64 [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 17, 2012 2:18:29 AM] |

There are no "official" apps for WCG yet. Whenever the project begins, I would assume that will change. A beta app is not an app. If you understand what I'm say.
Also, whenever the betas are dropped, they are usually grabbed up pretty quickly. Luck of the draw situation right now. |

We have gotten some feedback from the researchers about the previous results. They need more data in order to determine what they want to do to move forward. They have two batches of work that contain a variety of the different classes of images that are found in rest of the data. They have previously used these to verify that the application is operating as desired. We are running these through the beta to do the same here. We will sending back all results identified as valid as well as a selection of results identified as invalid. Depending on what they find, there may need to be a new method for validating workunits that take these new differences into account. However, the first step is to get this data set back to them. This work is available now. Curious to know the results.  I wonder if the work was spread out amongst various GPU models or if the mid-to-high dollar priced cards got the bulk and valids.  |

Today while checking the properties of WCG, I notice "Project has no apps for ATI GPU" ... How am I suppose to get HCC-GPU-Beta WUs ? Did not your opening quote answer your question? Perhaps I am a bit dense... English not being my first language.  Prior to yesterday, the Project Properties for WCG do not show "Project has no apps for ATI GPU" and BOINC will periodically query WCG-server for ATI-app (HCC-GPU-beta). I managed to grab 2 WUs in separate occasions (test-4 and test-5), crunched, reported & validated. With this new tag, BOINC is not requesting for new ATI-app (HCC-GPU-beta). Thus my question. |
