Re: OpenPandemics GPU Beta Test - March 12 2021 [ Issues Thread ]

is a cc_config.xml really needed for BOINC to use all GPUs available?

Yes
And FWIW the HCC GPU app did not play well on machines both Nvidia and AMD cards trying to both run at the same time. Driver conflicts. There were no Intel GPUs at that time. Don't know if that may be a problem here now but based on past experiences it could be.

Re: OpenPandemics GPU Beta Test - March 12 2021 [ Issues Thread ]

Another question I have:
That same machine has three GPUs: 7850K iGPU, 1050Ti and GT 710.
BOINC runs WUs on the iGPU and 1050Ti simultaneously, but it does not want to try to run on the GT710, despite it being available. Are the WUs assiges specifically to a certain GPU when they get downloaded ot why would it not try to run any on that GPU?

Do you have <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> in your cc_config. xml?


Hi,
I did not have a cc_config.xml file, but now I creatd one and put it in boinc data directory. However, now I do not have any Nvidia beta WUs left in cache so I'll have to wait and see if this works when more GPU work is available.
Maybe @Uplinger knows and can confirm: is a cc_config.xml really needed for BOINC to use all GPUs available?

Thanks!

At least this is what BOINC config page says:

<use_all_gpus>0|1</use_all_gpus>
If 1, use all GPUs (otherwise only the most capable ones are used). Requires a client restart.


Okay, thanks!
Now I restared boic client after creating the cc_config file and the log says this, especially the last line below should be an indication that the file settings have been read?
Now only to wait for more task to see if it helped.

I see, yes the HCC was such a long time ago that I do no recall the issues from that time. But right now the PC had one AMD and one NVIDIA GPU task running at the same time. It just did not want to use both NVIDIA GPUs at the same time. But we'll see if the cc_config.xml helped or not once more tasks are released into the wild.

for testing you could opt in to Einstein@Home... that's what i'm running when nothing else is available for GPU.
You can exclude GPUs from certain tasks or anything at all.
Maybe this thread is helpful: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=11531

Same error "Access Violation (0xc0000005)" (but at address 0x00007FF7911BDB30) for me on my GTX660M. The same error and at the exact same address for all 4 of my error results.

So, app version 7.27 and the fix for the DP issue, did not help. Ah well, the GTX660M is no speed monster, so I think WCG can live without it. smile

One thing I noticed when looking at the error log was in this part. Is the similarity (and one digit difference) between the two items highlighted significant?

Re: OpenPandemics GPU Beta Test - March 12 2021 [ Issues Thread ]

The only thing I can say about those errors, is that a card that is NOT OpenCL 1.2 capable, throws the same error (and also like my GTX660M at the same time resets the Display Driver.)

At the beginning of the GPU Beta, WU's were sent out to non OpenCL 1.2 capable cards, and I got the same errors with my GeForce 315M, as with the GTX660M

GeForce 315M, is not OpenCl 1.2 capable only OpenCL 1.0 (1.1).

So, I'm leaning more and more toward the idea that GTX660M, and other older cards that declare themselves as OpenCL 1.2, in fact isn't fully OpenCL 1.2

Well, for what I see both from my GTX980 and iGPU HD4600, these workunits are not any harder than those in the 7.26 Beta. On the contrary they crunch faster than the previous ones.

I have to agree with him in the fact that the longest running result I have had so far is 0.05 hours (61 jobs)on a 2070 Uplinger if you wanted to look into it at my host is DESKTOP-FVL1L8F
Longest task that I can see in my task list was 0.10 hours this had 77 jobs App version 7.26 also times reflected above are with one CPU core dedicated to the GPU

Re: OpenPandemics GPU Beta Test - March 12 2021 [ Issues Thread ]

Got a total of 9 WUs today.
The 3 on a Dell i7 with an NVidia card finished on about 20min, strangely now claiming 0.0 credits.
Got 6 on my MacBookPro i7 with Intel GD3000/AMD Radeon HD6750M and all of them crash immediately... crying
