I resumed Moo yesterday and I got 2 tasks that said "ready to start" in BM
But no matter what I did I couldn't get them to start....

What do I do wrong??

All other projects works with my ATI card

Try a Project dettatch/reattatch (not reset), that will send down a freash load of Project files for the current configuration. It should work ok then. Post again if it doesnt.

Bare in mind that you are running BAM 7.XX which an Alpha release, so there is a real possibility that wacky things will happen. With Alpha releases life is rarely what it may look like on the surface :)

Well, I made an app_info.xml that looks like this.

<app_info>
<app>
<name>dnetc</name>
<user_friendly_name>Distributed.net Client</user_friendly_name>
</app>
<file_info>

<copy_file/>
</file_ref>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>1.0</count>
</coproc>
</app_version>
</app_info>

I tried to get the version numbers right from 1.02 to 1.3
I am not sure that it is correct written.
Starting up BM and woooops ....,all the files where gone except from the app.info.xml file.
Of course I should have made a backup.

Oki, I remove the app_info.xml file and try to reset the project to get back the missing files.
No luck.

I detach and reattach and hope the files will be downloaded again.
No luck.
Getting stuck in server backoffs for 2mins in every move I make....

I will try attach again......Hopefully I will get the files....

WORKED!!!

Now I will try get the files backedup and see if I can get this to work....

I got it to work by putting the files in the moowrap folder manually.

I also edited my app_info.xml file to this.

<app_info>
<app>
<name>dnetc</name>
<user_friendly_name>Distributed.net Client</user_friendly_name>

</app_info>


I also use this cc_config.xml file to exclude gpu from some projects.

<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://albert.phys.uwm.edu</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://boinc.fzk.de/poem/</url>
<device_num>0</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://moowrap.net/</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
</options>
</cc_config>


It should make the moowrap use only gpu(0) but it uses both anyhow....
I can't find any where in moowrap preferences to exclude 1 card??!??+


The app_info.xml and the app works perfect on my mix of ATI cards 5850+4850 though

To get moowrap to exclude a card I had to use cc_config to exclude a card, allow multiple clients, create another boinc instance and run from command line with the following:


c:\boinc\boinc -allow_multple_clients -gui_rpc_port 9999


And then user EmFER's Bionc Manager or switch between computers with the standard manager.

First task completed: http://moowrap.net/results.php?hostid=8559&offset=0&show_names=1&state=3&appid=

Ok.

I am not in to running 2 BM's at once at present....
But thank you for the tip.

I need to get that 4850card excluded since I have a slight heating problem when running Moo at both cards.

cc_config.xml and the exclude command didn't help me here.
exclude works with SETI, POEM, Albert, Milkyway, Collatz, Primegrid

Well, I made an app_info.xml that looks like this.
...
13
...
7.0.11


Looks pretty good, except version could be 103 to get the 1.3 encoded correctly. Although, it's not a big of a deal since that's pretty much used only for statisticial purposes with anonymous platforms.

API version for this application is actually 6.13.12 but I'm not entirely sure if a BOINC Client v7 likes such version. It's the major part (6 or 7) that's actually only meaningfull here as that's what BOINC Client seems to verify. It's also only used for in the client end, so whatever makes this work for your system... :)

Hmm, I wonder if this v6 vs. v7 major version is what prevents BOINC Client v7 to start these tasks. But that would mean tasks from other projects shouldn't start either.

Changes 13 changed to 103

i keep the api version 7.0.11 since it works anyway :)

Isn't there any way to let moo use only 1gpu in 1BoincManager? I have 2GPU's and they get warm.

Unfortunately, not at the moment as D.net Client that we use is designed to find and use every GPU it can find on the system. However, there has been some progress lately upstream so we might be able to support normal one GPU per one task in the future.

That is very good.
I look forward to it.
