Pushed 3 through my HD4000 in my Mac Mini last night. They have been "inconclusive" thus far but that's better than some alternatives lol... |

Hopefully this will be the last post prior to the release of the Stock Mac GPU Apps. Maybe this week?

Did they fix the glitch with v7.04 NV? I turned off my Mac NV crunching after it started throwing out errors. I know Urs said they were going to release a work around but I haven't restarted crunching with the NV to see if it will work. |

Thought I would bump this back to the front page. There are now apps for Mac out here on Main. If you haven't tried them, please do. If you are currently running a Mac with Nvidia, please be aware there is a problem with the Astropulse 7.05 estimated time to complete. Many Mac users downloaded large cache of AstroPulse work units and they are almost all Erroring out with Exceeded Time to Complete messages. I've linked 2 threads, one from Raistmer's thread here in Number Crunching that TBar discusses it and how to fix it and one from over in Question and Answers but both are deal with the same issue and how to correct this. After 11 validated Astropulses, the times should go to a more reasonable time estimation. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=75831&postid=1585145 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=75865 Happy Crunching...

Looks as though we may be close to having a Mac AMD/ATI MB App. Seems as though the Volunteer Developer working on the project has a working App. Hopefully it will find it's way to Beta soon. http://lunatics.kwsn.net/10-alternate-hardware-platforms/osx-multibeam-opencl-question.msg57788.html#msg57788 Have you seen the front page recently? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/top_hosts.php That's what happens when you can only run APs and the AP database blows up ;-) |

It's a Hit! Well, it's a hit in Yosemite...so far, Re: OSX Multibeam OpenCL Seems to be working well on My Mac at Beta, Computer 63959. Apparently it doesn't work very well with VLARs though, so VLARs are not sent to Macs at Beta...which is Good. Unfortunately Beta seems to have mostly VLARs at present. Oh well. If someone wants to test the App at Beta, my working app_info.xml is; <app_info> <app> <name>setiathome_v7</name> </app> <file_info> <name>seti_boinc-hd5xxx</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>MultiBeam_Kernels_r2760.cl</name> </file_info> <file_info> <name>MultiBeam_Kernels_additional_r2760.cl</name> </file_info> <file_info> <name>mb_cmdline_mac_OpenCL_ATi_HD5.txt</name> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>setiathome_v7</app_name> <platform>x86_64-apple-darwin</platform> <version_num>703</version_num> <plan_class>opencl_ati5_mac</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>0.04</avg_ncpus> <max_ncpus>0.1</max_ncpus> <coproc> <type>ATI</type> <count>1</count> </coproc> <file_ref> <file_name>seti_boinc-hd5xxx</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>MultiBeam_Kernels_r2760.cl</file_name> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>MultiBeam_Kernels_additional_r2760.cl</file_name> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>mb_cmdline_mac_OpenCL_ATi_HD5.txt</file_name> <open_name>mb_cmdline.txt</open_name> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> You will have to make a file and name it mb_cmdline_mac_OpenCL_ATi_HD5.txt.

Gave up on Yosemite. Went back to ML. It kept crashing on my MacBook Pro (the new one not the old one). Let me know if he gets one for ML. At least we are making progress, lol |

Hmmm, Yosemite seems to work for most people. Maybe it's a nVidia thing? When I first tested the Mac Apps over a year ago I decided AMD was the way to go ;-) As far as I know, No One has tested the nVidia MB App, other than the Developer. You might give it a go...it might work. Stranger Things Have Happened... |

I haven't had any issues with Yosemite. It definitely runs much better on 16GB of RAM versus just 4GB of RAM, but that would probably apply to any other version of Mac OS as well. |

Well I have it installed on my ML laptop, but still waiting for the Beta servers to send me any wu's. Just keeps telling me it is getting no new tasks. 3000 or so haven't been set yet so I dunno if something else is squirrely or what.

Well I got some, 2 have finished so far. Doesn't look like they errored so far, but waiting to see if they validated. Chris http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/results.php?hostid=59989&offset=0&show_names=0&state=2&appid=8 |

Your first Valid was against my Mac... Seems yours is taking much less CPU time. For some reason mine are taking a large amount of CPU time, especially with the longer tasks. The Beta server is sending out VLARs most of the time so there could be long periods where none are sent to the Macs. I'm running the new MB App r2760 on my Vista host and it is receiving GPU VLARs. When the Vista host is receiving VLARs my Mac goes dry. The new r2760 handles VLARs very well in Vista, too bad the Mac version doesn't. I tried a VLAR on my ATI 6870 in the Mac and it took over 2 hours, the 6970 in Vista does it in 25 minutes. So, it seems the current Mac version works in Mavericks as well as Yosemite...nice. |

Yeah I totally plagiarized all your settings in the mb config file and app_info so I'm not sure why mine would be using so much less CPU. I'm quite pleased to see the GPU finally being utilized for multi beam.=) I'll try it out on the iGPU in one of my other macs in the next day or so. I may end up needing some help getting the app_info formatted correctly for it as I've not seem many examples of that floating around. Something for the machines to do at least while we wait for wu's over here. Thanks, Chris |

Plan_class is at your own choice, but you will find it much easier if you follow the conventions set out on the stock applications page: the plan_class string is shown in brackets in the 'Version' column. Choose, or make up, a plan class that matches the shape of the application you're trying to deploy. The coproc type is, strictly, <coproc> <type>intel_gpu</type> <count>1</count> </coproc> Don't mess with that in any way - it's lower case, with _gpu. My attempt at a app_info for my iGPU mac doesn't seem to be working. I get an odd statement in my event log: |

My attempt at a app_info for my iGPU mac doesn't seem to be working... Looks like you're now receiving some GPU Error. You might want to remove the cmdline settings and use the defaults. I'm not sure how those settings will work on the intel gpu; <message> |

Yup, as soon as I got those errors I removed those settings and it started to run, albeit not very fast. I've got two completed now, running about 4000-5000 seconds each. We'll see if they validate. I would have thought the wu's should be running a bit faster than that even on the igpu, but there may be some further tweaking to do if these validate properly. Thanks, Chris |

I'm pretty sure the GPU load is Low. Normally when running near full load the Macs Fan Control shows the IO sensor at around 99F. It's been running around 91-93F running the ATI App. The longer tasks were taking around 48 minutes, much longer than in Linux on the same machine. A few hours ago I set it to run 2 at a time. Now the ones that were taking 48 minutes a piece are completing 2 in about an hour, and the Temp is still only 93F. I would go for 3 at a time but the CPU meter is bouncing between 40-100% CPU load just running the GPUs. Well, it IS the first release. Not bad for a first release ;-) |
