Installed a new gpu amd r9 280x. No tasks being downloaded. Why? --edit It keeps loading me up with cpu tasks and then says I'm at my limit. If this keeps up I can't get any gpu tasks. merle - vote yes for freedom of speech |

Should I abort a bunch of tasks or reset seti? Installed a new gpu amd r9 280x. No tasks being downloaded. Why? merle - vote yes for freedom of speech |

Should I abort a bunch of tasks or reset seti? NO, don't abort any tasks. Recent Server changes cause the CPU tasks to be filled First, after the CPU is full the GPU tasks start downloading. Try giving it a Hint. Go to the Preferences and Unselect Use CPU, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project It looks like you are receiving GPU tasks now, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=7413477 It will send CPU tasks until you reach the Limit, then it will send GPU task. Aborting CPU tasks will just cause it to send More CPU tasks until you reach your daily limit and reduce your Limit due to Errors. |

Look in the BOINC event log and see what it's got to say. At the beginning it should say it's detected the cpu and GPU and driver version etc. later on there should be a message about requesting work, which hopefully will say it's asking for GPU work. It would help if you could post the startup messages about the cpu and GPU and the requesting work messages. To get to the BOINC event log you can click on advanced (on the menu bar in BOINC manager) -> Event log BOINC blog |

No - you have now 'AstroPulse v7 Anonymous platform (ATI GPU)' tasks http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=7413477&offset=0&show_names=0&state=0&appid=20 Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Thanks I have tasks but I am underutilized using only 25 to 31% of capacity. Do I need to set up multiple tasks in app_config. I forget how I used to write that. Does anyone have a copy for I guess 3 tasks (.33 something). Thank you. In the mean time I'll try and figure it out myself. Or remember it. :-) Should I abort a bunch of tasks or reset seti? merle - vote yes for freedom of speech |

... in app_config. I forget how I used to write that. Don't you have app_config.xml used on another computer? Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Cancel that. I just changed cpu to 87.5 from 100% and my utilization went up to 77%. I guess I'll wait and see what happens. Thanks for reading.

OK, if you later need it: <app_config> <app> <name>setiathome_v7</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.04</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>astropulse_v6</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>astropulse_v7</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Ok, I'm going with your unroll 18 line and I'm getting 75% utilization. merle - vote yes for freedom of speech |

Let it run for a few hours and see how it does. You did restart the task right? Select All the GPU tasks, Suspend them, count to 10, then Resume them. You have to restart the task every time you change the settings. |

Right now it's 87-90%. Thanks TBar Let it run for a few hours and see how it does. merle - vote yes for freedom of speech |

... You did restart the task right? Select All the GPU tasks, Suspend them, count to 10, then Resume them. Easier to do the same: 'Snooze GPU' Wait 5-10 seconds un- 'Snooze GPU' Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Right now it's 87-90%. Thanks TBar First task doesn't look good with those 30 pulses. Where did you get that driver? Driver version: 1311.2 (VM) Version: OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1311.2) Try downloading Catalyst 14.9 and installing that, http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64 Second task looks Much Better, I'd still Update the driver... |

I used it right out of the box and forgot to update over internet. Will do now. The second wu runs much faster than the first. Right now it's 87-90%. Thanks TBar merle - vote yes for freedom of speech |

Right now it's 87-90%. Thanks TBar First of all unroll 18 is default for 280x with r_2721. If you change drivers make sure you also delete cached bin files in the data folder. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Another 30 Pulses. Doesn't look good. What are your suggestions for repeated 30 Pulses? Shouldn't the App Rename the New Bin files to the New Driver? |
