Finally got an app_info to run on my 7970. Quadrupled my output. Here's a copy if anyone whats to try it. <app_info> <app> <name>hcc1</name> <user_friendly_name>Help Conquer Cancer</user_friendly_name> </app> <file_info> <name>wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86__ati_hcc1</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>hcckernel.cl.6.56</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>hcc1</app_name> <version_num>656</version_num> <platform>windows_intelx86</platform> <plan_class>ati_hcc1</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>1.0</avg_ncpus> <max_ncpus>1.0</max_ncpus> <coproc> <type>ATI</type> <count>.25</count> </coproc> <file_ref> <file_name>wcg_hcc1_img_6.56_windows_intelx86__ati_hcc1</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>hcckernel.cl.6.56</file_name> <open_name>hcckernel.cl</open_name> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> This will run 4 tasks at a time. Copy and paste into a text document and rename the file app_info.xmll. Shut down boinc, place the file in the WCG project folder and restart boinc. You should be good to go. Guys maybe I should have been more specific. This file is best suited for high end cards like the GTX680 and Radeon7970. Do not attempt to use it if you GPU is running near 95%. If it's lower you can use the file to add more tasks. To do that change the <count>N</count parameter. 1 will run 1 task. 0.50 will run 2. 0.33 wil run 3. 0.25 will run 4. 4 gets my GPU tp 95%. That's enough for me.

Would this be work better on double precision cards, AMD, or just high end cards?

This is a single precision project, it works best on AMD cards. NVIDIA has never been great at raw computational power, and their new 600 series has crippled that further, so when you get AMD and NVIDIA on the same field you see who can really pull the weight. Apparently 7000 series is the best here.

Don't think you can trust what boinc is showing for crunch time. I monitored a few and saw after the completion time hit zero, it stayed on that wu for a little bit more time. Boinc shows 3 min 30 sec (varies per wu) but when I add the total of GPU time and CPU time, its around 5 minutes. That's a problem on your end. Elapsed time is elapsed time, when it is done, it is done and goes to the next work unit. All of mine instantly upload as soon as they reach 100% and move to the next work unit. |

Earlier Watts was mentioned so once again just for an idea of the power being used I give you:
----------------------------------------MVG, 3770K at 4.8, 8G samsung green @ 2000, Samsung spinpoint hj103 plus 1 fan running together with an asus hd5870 Idles in windows at 100W Running 8 x GFAM takes this to 210 watts Running 1 x GPU plus 7 x GFAM takes the power use to 270 watts Running 2 x GPU plus 6 x GFAM takes power use to 360 watts so a single asus hd5870 card would seem to use 90 watts in running Each card should produce around 16K ppd in the above setup. Typically seeing card loaded to around 93% I am in UK so I use 230V psu. These measurements are with Kill-a-Watt clone and are power from the wall figures.

Whether you use 230V or 120V makes no difference in how much watts the power supply consumes that you'd measure from a Kill-a-watt meter. There are measures of efficiency, is it 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%. The older the power supply the less efficient it is and the more power it will draw from the socket. |

Anyone who wants to add to this info then all I need is card type and total run time in mins and secs. add cpu type and speed as well please. watts??? anyone that uses a Kill a Watt and can provide more details??? Do you have thoughts on how best to show that Crystal Pellet? Xp, c2d 8400 @ 3,87ghz with 560 ti : 5:15 per wu @ 95 % gpuload Xp, c2q 6600 stockclocked with 260gtx: 8:00 per wu @ 95% gpuload Only theoretical: My 285gtx is running bit faster as a 560ti i often saw under cuda here, so it shoud be around the same time perhaps 5 mins. But it runs dedicated for gpugrid and on a pentium 4 machine, whats not the best cpu under opencl to testfeed gpu but fast enough for cuda ;) ---------------------------------------- [Edit 4 times, last edit by dskagcommunity at Oct 14, 2012 12:39:29 AM] |

The older the power supply the less efficient it is and the more power it will draw from the socket. For the record this is running on a seasonic x 650. Loaded to 360 watts this puts it at around 55% load on psu which is in the sweetspot. I believe that I am right in saying that using a 230v supply gives a small improvement in the efficiency of a power supply. Those graphs you might find when looking for any psu on 80Plus site are usually produced using 115v. There are a couple of server psu's using 230v that now meet 80 PLUS Titanium: 90% 94% 96% 91% at 10, 20, 50 and 100% load respectively |

That's enough for me. Is there some other code that can be used to utilize the CPU threads as well? Using this app_info only gets GPU WUs and I am not able to use my CPU threads. I'd like to be able to use the CPU to complete extra HCC CPU WUs, but as of now running two instances of GPU WUs on my radeon 7850 nets more completed WUs than using my CPU. I'd just like more to be completed :). |

That's enough for me. When you were running one, what was the percentage being used on your card? My 6950 hits around 85 to 90% so I know I'm out trying this. With you running 4, what are your temps at along with your fan setting, if you don't mind posting it. Am looking at the 7950 for around 300 bucks at the egg. Would think I should be able to run 2 comfortably. Your thoughts on the 7950.
