Number crunching :
Legacy Dual GPUs, BOINC assigned work to both but only one with load
(Message 7876)
Posted 10 Jan 2018 by mikey Post: I have 2 legacy ATI Radeon HD 3870 cards. When using Moo wrapper, BOINC assigns 2 tasks, 1 for each GPU. I used GPU-Z to investigate the GPUs when i noticed the one was running very hot compared to the other and that is when I discovered that only of the cards had any load. The one card runs 100% load while the other does nothing. Go to Preferences under Your Account here on the website and uncheck the 'use intel' box: Resource share 100 --- --- --- Use CPU --- --- --- Use ATI GPU --- --- --- Use NVIDIA GPU |

Posted 7 Jan 2018 by mikey Post: Mine got down to the mid +20'sF last night and there was a run on the toilet paper, milk and bread at the grocery stores, Oh yeah the weather people all make it sound like some 'storm of the century' or 'the apocalypse' or some other crazy thing they can make it sound unusual so you will listen to THEM instead of our heads and then people go nuts at the grocery stores etc. It's 18F right now going up into the high 20's later on then tomorrow it will be in the upper 40's and by Thursday and Friday into the mid 60's!! No trips to the grocery store for me though so I am winning!! |

Posted 4 Jan 2018 by mikey Post: I had good Christmas and great new year. I hope the same for you. Mine got down to the mid +20'sF last night and there was a run on the toilet paper, milk and bread at the grocery stores, it snowed enough to give us a light dusting and that was the key to the grocery store runs, people are scared of the what if's!! I am winning!! |

Questions and Answers :
Windows :
Virus protection errors
(Message 7862)
Posted 2 Jan 2018 by mikey Post: Hi, This is because they are looking at 'the way things are being done' not an actual virus itself, they change so often that wouldn't work. If you just exclude the Boinc directories from your a/v scans then you will not get these false positives anymore. ALL Projects aggressively scan their systems to keep viruses away so the chance of getting one from them is very small so excluding the Boinc directories is a good thing, any REAL virus will try to break out of the Boinc directories and be caught by Norton, in your case, and then you can handle it appropriately. |

Although I have not gotten an AMD gpu to work on Linux yet, and crunch that it. I can make them use the gpu for the screen display, but crunching is beyond me so far. |

I have a couple of those too, mine used to be Windows laptops but i don't have a Win7 license for them and they aren't really fast enough for Windows anyway. They work fine on Linux though!! |

Yes you can run your horses free with no chance of fencing, for now anyway. Too many permits etc to put up the fencing so I gave up. I am still winning though. |
