Ni!

Uploads seem to be...shall we say...a bit off....or maybe I just need to restart the BOINC client to pick up the new IP address....


Ni!

mikey> The SDK has been useless for years now since AMD APP drivers are included in Catalyst packages.

Colltaz runs fine on this GPU without any special trick, and I've been able to run PrimeGrid (PPS Sieve, GFN and GFN WR) and MilkyWay with the use of an app_info ...

John> in your situation, the problem is different : you have been able to start the client ! You should be able to run without issues by replacing your dnetc518-win32-x86-stream.exe file by the dnetc.exe (OpenCL version) included in this package : http://http.distributed.net/pub/dcti/current-client/dnetc-win32-x86-opencl.zip

You can use my app_info file to use it. You'll have to edit the job-ati14-1.00.xml file with the following data assuming you keep the dnetc.exe file name :

<job_desc>
 <task>
  <application>dnetc.exe</application>
  <checkpoint_filename>chkpoint</checkpoint_filename>
  <command_line>-ini dnetc.ini -runoffline -multiok=1</command_line>
 </task>
</job_desc>


This is the method for HD79xx that I used for my try on my R9 290X ...

Unfortunately, all these tricks doen't work on the R9 290X :'(



+1
!!!!

Running smoothly as of now...only getting the tiny WUs, so will have to wait till I get the big ones....

EDIT:

All ran and validated...

mikey> of course, and if it had worked, I wouldn't bother with an app_info !

John> yeah, same for me, the distributed.net client runs fine on the card, it's just Moo that doesn't like the card :(


I was just starting at the beginning covering all the bases...have you tried installing this yet?

and the link to download the amd app stuff is here:
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/

It made the new R series gpu's work at Collatz and PrimeGrid. The new R series gpu's have something disabled, I always forget exactly what, but it isn't needed in gaming just some crunching units. The link above provides a 'fix' so the gpu can crunch the units again.


I have that installed....they took out the stream capabilities in the driver...have a look at a WU of mine that failed...

Probably won't work....my R9 280x will download the WUs, but will error out on all of them....the openCL app will need to be installed by the project AFAIK...

BTW, the openCL app runs fine on the R9 280x when used with the original distributed.net client..
