Posted 20 Sep 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post: I tried everything I can think of but with no effect The DNETC app is still running at between 12 - 25% CPU This is 2 cores on an i7 ! Teemu please help The Dnetc project is not doing this & is running @ max 2% |

Posted 15 Sep 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post: Brent to test & find your best core do this: Exit Boinc manager From the run command type in: "C:\Program Files\BOINC\Data\projects\moowrap.net\dnetc518-win32-x86-stream.exe" -bench Just make sure of the location of your: \projects\moowrap.net\dnetc518-win32-x86-stream.exe The program exits after 10 second so be quick to get the correct core Now change the settings in Moo! Wrapper preferences & restart Boinc |

Posted 12 Sep 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post: I tried the stream test to see what GPU core is the best. Changed it to core 3 that is a bit slower than core 0 in the test but no change in CPU usage. I'm using GPU-Z as well as Afterburner to see the GPU load I get the same high CPU load on my 32 bit rigs when I use Catalyst 11.6 > I will try a lower 64 bit release tomorrow & see if it helps EDIT VIVA XP !!!!!!!! |

Posted 12 Sep 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post: Thanks for the suggestion Brent but the way I have it is that Boinc manager is only the agent doing the queuing of the jobs. The dnetc....exe app is doing the crunching & the .ini file deciding what should happen Do I have it wrong? |

Posted 12 Sep 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post: I started a new server running Win7 64 on a i7. I noticed in task manager the cpu usage of dnetc518-win32-x86.exe on Cat 11.5> is 25% ! Grading down to cat 11.3 helped a bit and it dropped down to 12% with a 25% spike now & then. Will there be a fix for the 64bit os. I noticed there is only one application for windows 32 & 64. Again I had to lift the cpu priority from 4 to 9 in the .ini file & change the multiprocessor % in Boinc manager's preferences to use only 90% processors (7 cores) Without this all other running cpu tasks starve the GPU to use cpu power to do it's thing & GPU activity drops below 50% causing a wu to run twice as long |

Posted 28 Aug 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post:
You are right. wcg_bera13_vina... is a CPU hogger. When 2 is running on a dual proc pc it uses all the CPU time. Upping the priority of dnetc518...exe in Win task manager help but is only valid for the current running Moo wu I edited dnetc-1.00.ini and changed the value of processor usage from 4 to 9 This works well and the GPU now gets CPU time again to update Thanks again for your advice |

Posted 23 Aug 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post: It is not always possible to baby-sit all my computers I had several of this before where a task will hang and continue to run in a loop http://moowrap.net/result.php?resultid=2194028 Is there a way for the program to exit & abort the task after a set timeout was reached? I wasted 9 hours on this task before I noticed there was no GPU activity. I had several tasks hanging before after a VPU recover but this one gave no warning |

Posted 20 Jul 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post: They could have managed it better, thats for sure, and some extended notice over intentions would have stopped a lot of anger from those who just bought cards. I agree I was a bit harsh because I’m also one of those. I also wanted to share in the credit feast at PG and made a mistake when I paid a lot of money for a Nvidia a month ago. For a bit more I could have got a HD6980 Fact is now I’m stuck with it and would like to use it here at Moo. |

Posted 28 Jun 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post: I had a similar problem with an older Power Color 4750 when DNETC started. The card was already out of warranty & I removed the cooling fan unit. I found that the manufacturer applied only a drop of heat- paste covering only part of the GPU. I applied CPU paste and it was fine. The current spike sounds abnormal. I run full OCed cards and the voltage stays the same on all of them under full load I think your card is faulty |

Posted 24 May 2011 by Copycat-Digital for WCG* Post: WU 302471 was stuck on 5% for 5 hours on a single card until I aborted it. First time this happened since I started on Moo Edit WU 303025 did the same. No GPU activity. It started running after I shut down & restarted Boinc manager the 2nd time. GPU runs cool on 64 deg.C No other activity on the PC |
