There is <verify_files_on_app_start/> in client_state.xml for rosetta at home That sounds good. I thought something like that was done automatically. Apparently it is not and I don't see a way to set the option myself. Wouldn't hesitate to add some seconds to a task that runs for hours.no wonder why it took like 10 seconds on every rosetta at home task to begin Took? Older versions of the Rosetta app used to unpack a several hundred MB database for every task, maybe that was the reason. |

Much ado about nothing IMHO. If the techs here thought there was even the remotest chance of issues it would have been dealt with a long long time ago. I'm no friend of that "all is well if I don't think about it" attitude, I prefer to think for myself where I can. When it comes to computers I know enough to tell that the experts are not always right. Anyhow, I'm not going to continue here. |

Meow to that! Would be nice to get the GPU ball rolling! If your GPU is running on XP I don't think you will receive any work. AKAIK XP does not support OpenCL 1.2. I did some research for a friend and the last driver for XP with OpenCL support that I could find was 12.2 beta and it was OpenCl 1.1. Maybe someone else can chime in if I'm mistaken.

What is 12.2? I looked yesterday and nvidia introduced OpenCL 1.2 with driver 350.12 and I found driver 368.22 for XP. So the driver will support it. Whether XP itself does remains to be seen. As does whether the binary mods I did yesterday for the CPU work, and if that works, can the same be done for the GPU binary.

XP is OUT of support since 2014!!
----------------------------------------So, why this doing to find a way for this OS. It is not useful. Not only for Beta GPU.

Because it's the only rig I have running right now, and I would like to contribute to COVID research with it, if I am able to get it to with a few workarounds.
----------------------------------------It would be useful to ME if I am able to do so. If I can get it to work, it will work for production GPU work when it becomes available. Why the complaining from you? Am I keeping you from doing something? I thought not......................... Meow! |

You’ll know if the Nvidia drivers works by restarting BOINC and looking at the log file. It will list the OpenCl version support and tell you if it found a usable GPU. Good luck.

I kinda guessed it was AMD. No worries.
----------------------------------------I wouldn't have the GPU binary yet, would I? I am guessing it will come with the first GPU work? Or do I have it already? If so, what is the name of it? |
