41) Questions and Answers : Windows : Stuck all night.....8 hours wasted. (Message 615) Posted 9 Jun 2011 by Beyond Post: Once again, this seems to be only a problem with multiple GPUs/WU. The WUs also perform less efficiently when running on more than a single GPU. Any chance Dnet can be prevailed upon to provide a switch in their client to allow crunching 1 WU/GPU?
42) Message boards : News : Credits (Message 472) Posted 25 May 2011 by Beyond Post: Its the same rate as given by DNETC, and personally I find this one more stable and not suffering from the long standing dual card problem of DNETC fame. I did a 24hr session recently over there as part of my "where do I stay" decision, and as far as I am concerned, for me, this app is more stable - everyones mileage will differ of course, but this app gets my Vote. Zy Ditto, Moo! works better here too. Multiple cards work sub-optimally at both, but it seems that's a problem with the dnet client. Also a big difference for me is that we get straight answers here and never did at the other project.
43) Questions and Answers : Windows : Multi-GPU task takes longer than single-gpu task (Message 468) Posted 24 May 2011 by Beyond Post: As some one mentioned, we would DEARLY love to have the project crunch on individual GPUs rather than use all in the machine. It is more efficient for the computers and more work would get done for the project. Hi, I understand that request but unfortunately this is not up to me. Distributed.net Client doesn't allow selecting which GPU they use and they detect and use all of them. Until they support this switch, there's nothing much I can do. Sorry. :( -w Teemu, I hadn't seen this before so please excuse my posts requesting a single GPU client. It's too bad though as like others my dual ATI boxes also don't work well.
44) Questions and Answers : Windows : Stuck all night.....8 hours wasted. (Message 456) Posted 24 May 2011 by Beyond Post: I had a wu stuck on 89% for 8 hours on dual 5830's....not fun. Have since relocated rig to MW which plays nicer with dual card configs. Don't have the time to babysit machines.....too busy working to pay electric bill. This is exactly what happened at DNETC. It's one reason why I asked if we can have an option to run 1 CPU/WU. Total throughput is higher too when each WU is run on a separate GPU.
45) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 447) Posted 23 May 2011 by Beyond Post: Based on the information in this thread I tried core 3 on both an HD5850 and HD5770. Core 0 (auto detected by selecting -1) was faster here on both. Auto (0) was much faster on the HD5770 and a bit faster than 3 on the HD5850. This was determined by running several complete WUs and comparing both the keys/sec and the completion time for the same credit values. YMMV.
