I could do that if I was only interested in keeping my GPU busy. I am doing this project because I am interested in contributing to the efforts against COVID. Largely due to the fact that my significant other nearly died from it, and has been fighting it for a month now. I am sorry to hear that and I hope they get better soon! One of my friends just got out of the ICU after being there for over a month due to COVID-19. He still has a long recovery ahead before he can leave the hospital. As I said though, you can contribute to the efforts to COVID with folding@home in the meantime. I run folding@home on my gpu(you can select COVID-19 as the cause) I am currently running a work unit for https://stats.foldingathome.org/project/17339. There are also projects for the Covid Moonshot project such as https://stats.foldingathome.org/project/13447 As well as other ones like https://stats.foldingathome.org/project/16604 So there is plenty of GPU work available if you want to contribute to the efforts against COVID while OPNG gets up to speed.  |

So I added Environment="CLOVER_PLATFORM_VERSION_OVERRIDE=1.2" to "/etc/systemd/system/boinc-client.service" and did a systemctl daemon-reload Now BOINC's event log shows: OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD CAYMAN (DRM 2.50.0 / 5.4.0-67-generic, LLVM 10.0.0) (driver version 20.0.8, device version OpenCL 1.2 Mesa 20.0.8, 2048MB, 2048MB available, 768 GFLOPS peak) I'm curious if this will work... I'll keep you posted. Well today I got an AMD WU and unfortunately it did not go too well. While the Radeon card was trying to process said WU, the server locked up twice. So for the time being I removed the HD6950 and am trying to get my hands on an affordable NVIDIA GFX card... (which probably won't happen anytime soon)  |

I can only say that I processed dozens of tasks onAMD VERDE (DRM 2.50.0, 4.19.0-16-amd64, LLVM 7.0.1) (Radeon HD 7750) without any problem and the results were 100% valid. But that was on a system without X.trying to get my hands on an affordable NVIDIA GFX card... (which probably won't happen anytime soon) Wait until the project needs more computing power (which probably won't happen anytime soon). |

I'd need help for getting some GPU tasks. For past five days, I've got only four tasks.
----------------------------------------It seems that my client wont poll for new tasks too often... it's already on hour from last poll.

The BOINC client automatically increases the time between polls when it's not getting work. The only way to get around that is to have a script running in the background which runs the "update" command on a timer. WCG requests 121 seconds, so you'd set it to something like 122 seconds and have it loop in the background.
----------------------------------------Or, you could wait for them to start issuing more WUs. Of course, none of us want to wait  [Edit 1 times, last edit by kwolff88 at Apr 11, 2021 5:50:17 PM] |

Well, between such little production and the script suckers at work, the kitties' GPU is still running cold. The kitties are not greedy, they would just like a little bit here and there. Maybe the project should limit GPU tasks sent per work request to 5 or so, to keep the script suckers at bay and give others more of a chance to get a little bit too. Meowsigh. This is hardly the only project where this issue exists, or has existed. The badge system encourages this. |

A better solution would be to change the rest of the CPU tasks over to GPU ones. The same number would be sent from the researchers to be processed per day, but they'd be done faster, and the freed up CPU cycles could then be used to crunch WU's to further the other worthwhile projects here.

Is there a way to make client connect more often? You could try this on the command line. Simply go to /var/lib/boinc and run: while (true); do sudo -u boinc boinccmd --project "http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/" update; echo "Update triggered $(date)"; sleep 300; done That should do the trick... |
