Posted 17 May 2020 by mippi Post: Hi Eric, thanks for your reply which is not good for me as I need to abort 21 tasks:( I will continue with CPU support for your project, but it is not massive:( GPUs are much more effective for math projects. And yes, I can publish something when I find time. I'm not sure exactly what you are suggesting, but I can start a thread that users can report on and I could post the list on a web page. I think the best solution would be a simple spread sheet with GPU names and tick boxes that users could confirm if it works or not. Honestly there are not so many GPUs in the market to consider, I believe less than 100. I can imagine your time is very limited, so maybe you need some volunteers :) I also have some ideas for making the openCL work better. For example, breaking the current code into smaller kernels. The hope would be to get the older cards working. I think it is a great idea, there are so many people with older cards which can help and there are no many projects they can be used. CPU version takes very small amoung of resources (probably the smallest requirements among all BOINC projects) and can be run on very old machines, so it would be great to have similar GPU version. For instance I have got more than old Geforce 210 cards which I could use for your project. And obviously Intel GPUs. Everyone who has got Intel Core process has got a GPU which is pretty powerful and at the moment just 2 BOINC projects can use that feature.... Thanks! |

Posted 17 May 2020 by mippi Post: Thanks for your quick reply. Indeed I did not tick the beta version software box. However, I downloaded the new software, new jobs and it does not work. It starts working, going very well up to 96% and then return to 3.56% and is frozen at that value without any changes. I work on wu_sf3_DS-15x271_Grp4189113of6553600. I have tried to restart many times, but always the same effect:( Moreover, the process takes more than 4GB of my memory which is a little bit high. Related to the rest of your message, I think it would be good if you could publish an open ranking with user confirmation that a card works or not simply based on experience. |

Posted 16 May 2020 by mippi Post: Hi Administrator, I have got AMD Radeon HD 8790M (2048MB) OpenCL: 1.2 and I cannot get any jobs for it:( Is it OK? If so, could you publish a list of supported cards or at least requirements for cards to be useful for the projct, please? By the way, it would be great to support Intel GPUs, there are so many around the world in every core processor:) Thanks Adam |
