As long as it has it you should be fine. Don't have an ATI card yet but I saw that statement floating around Einstein. As long as people have the opencl driver than they're good.

Received 16. 15 valid, 1 pending validation. Less than 3 hrs to get me gold badge. Bummer!

In the past ATI shipped OpenCL libraries with the SDK but they have been moved to the drivers some time ago.
Thanks, armstrdj |

The 12.4 driver works for me, but the later ones (e.g., 12.6) do not.Thanks, armstrdj However, I upgraded from 12.4 to 12.7 beta and it still works, though it seems to have just kept the same version of OpenCL that was included in 12.4. |

I had one WU, that takes more than 10h on my i7 with AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5800 using CCC 12-4 on Win7/64bit...
----------------------------------------I checked this morning and this WU was still running.... I paused it, crunched the other 3 Betas on this machine and restart this Workunit again... Now it has finished and is on pending validation at the moment...

Looks like not many people had the CPU overcaching problems i told about in the beginning of the thread. So i think it's something buggy in the client version 6.10.60. To sum it up: While the 1.00ATI+1.00CPU HCC Betas were running, Boinc kept one of 8 threads free (client set to 100% of CPUs). Whenever the estimated GPU cache went below my cache setting (0.15 days), it requested tasks for CPU+GPU, resulting in downloading a non-Beta CPU task, ignoring how big the CPU cache was already. The GPU handling only 1 task at a time can only cache up to 4 Betas, so setting the cache higher than the 4 tasks Beta cache, the client would be downloading CPU tasks endlessly. 8 GPU tasks went fine, 3 were failing (at the same second somehow). As i said before, a previously running GPU task was resumed (had been auto-suspended for a repair GPU task), and after some time it errored out and took the other 2 tasks cached up with it to errorland. Maybe an unfinished GPU task is doing something wrong to the video memory? Just a thought. Well, i keep on crunching the big CPU pile for now. I also ran into to the over cache problem. Running a 0.2 day cache the 5 machines that ran Beta's ended up with a 1.6 to 9.1 day cache before I got them stopped. BOINC was requesting and receiving new CPU tasks (as you describe) and at the same time was stopping and starting High Priority CPU tasks. All in all quite a mess that's going to take a while to return to normal. BOINC client+mgr: 6.10.58 OS: Win 7 (64) and XP (32) GPU: (1) ATI and (4) NVidia Just when i wrote the above comment, i received a single repair GPU Beta wu, so the GPU cache was definitely lower than my 0.15 days setting, whilst my CPU cache had been grown to several days - but the problem did not occur any more (it just requested for GPU tasks as it should). Very strange. I have no idea why it had been requesting for CPUs non-stop before. Like the jobs before, Boinc suspended one of 8 CPU threads. There is another comment very similar to that in the CFSW problems thread https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/...33000_lastpage,yes#384756 . My client has been also been running exclusively CFSW work units apart from the Betas (6.11 and 6.12 to be exact). Hmmm... edit: correct link [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 13, 2012 8:50:45 AM] |

I was not around to see this happen, but I now have ~17 days of WUs on my only cruncher that received Betas yesterday. Cache was set at 1.0 days. They all downloaded between 18:00 and 19:11 even though I received Betas (22 in all) between 17:06 and 23:11 so it was intermittent. I'll abort most of them today. 6.10.58.

Well, from a quick look I would say, the problem with the cache is caused by the "stone age" old boinc version you are running. wplachy is running 6.10.58, deltavee too, herna runs 6.10.60. When I look at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/VersionHistory then the boinc devs fixed many problems in the newer versions. You should really think about changing to the 6.12 series of boinc software, 6.12.34 seems to be the most recommended version. 7.0.x is ... well ... you may try.

I got 13 beta units with the following results. I'm also doing bitcoin mining with this gpu.
