Hello,

create the app_info.xlm file in the Projects folder with this content using the "Editor":

<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>0.5</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>

and your Card will run 2 Tasks.

I'm just running 1 on each 5870 card, else I get stability problem, and it takes around 3 min. and 15 sec to complete a work unit.

You can try running 2 wu, if so your app_info.xml file shuld look someting like this...

<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</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>0.5</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>

I was running 2 work units for about 4 or 5 hours, then I got:

"Message from server: This project doesn't support computers of type anonymous" and no new work downloaded so it sat idle.

Is a bug in the system or are they putting measures in place to prevent app_info.xml ?


When I look at "Results Status" many came back with a status of "Error".

Kind of odd speculations, when the app_info was upfront stated by WCG as, "we'll allow it [so you can run more than 1 task at a time on a card], but we wont support it either. Support is member to member". If such blocking measures were taken, we'd been told. First rules if some goes suddenly weird:

1) Did I really not change anything in the interim?
2) Did I make the app_info changes or put the app_info in place before or after the tasks were received? (Server message applies to new work)
3) Did I boot after making configuration/driver changes?

Separately, some work must have reported for cores/gpu's to go idle. Were these tasks non-error (Valid / Pending Validation/Verification)?

Whilst, you don't tell us what was running 4 or 5 hours? Don´t tell us they were HCC-CPU tasks. The project average for HCC-CPU tasks is 1.5 hours.

This question keeps cropping up: What I have gathered from conversations is, that if you start specifying an app_info and include CPU science info, it can be for only 1 [WCG] science, but stand to be corrected on that. True / False? Seeing multiple comment to say that the other CPU cores can be filled with non-WCG CPU sciences, guess that is a True.
