24) Questions and Answers : Windows : 20 tasks per day? (Message 390) Posted 19 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: It IS surprising to have such a low trigger. Most projects use 100 or 1000.
25) Questions and Answers : Windows : 20 tasks per day? (Message 380) Posted 19 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: From which computer ID do you get this error? You can look at http://moowrap.net/hosts_user.php?userid=483 for list. Thanks Well, it happens to any machine where I abort 20 tasks or more. In this case it is this one: http://moowrap.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=118 P.S. Your spam filter is too strong. It thinks a link to this same web site is spam. I had to post without the link, and then edit the post to add the link, to work around it.
26) Questions and Answers : Windows : 20 tasks per day? (Message 377) Posted 19 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: I am getting the message that I cannot get new tasks, because I am allowed only 20 tasks per day. Sup?
27) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 370) Posted 19 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: What if you have more than one system running different cards and core 1 is best on one card core 2 on the other etc etc... shouldn't that be set per card, not at the project level? That is what you use the different locations for. For example, you can have for example, Home (with "3") for 5870s, and Work (with "1") for my 4870s. Then assign the machines to the locations accordingly.
28) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 360) Posted 18 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: So I did the bench test and found core 3 was significantly faster. As such I configured the app to use core 3. From the results since I made that configuration change the core setting seems to be ignored at the app continues to use core 0 You have to configure it in your project preferences page, here at the project. If you configure it from the command line, it gets over-written by the project preferences with the next task.
29) Message boards : Wish list : platforms supported (Message 343) Posted 17 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Darwin support with CUDA should be _easy_ to do. Stay tuned. Any news?
30) Message boards : News : Switched to granting static credit (Message 319) Posted 15 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Cross-project credit parity is impossible. There is no such thing as "fair" credit value. As long as the credit within a project remains consistent, it's all good.

32) Questions and Answers : Windows : Multi-GPU task takes longer than single-gpu task (Message 251) Posted 12 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: FWIW, I am seeing only ~21% load on one card, and ~54% load on the other. Looks like it might be a HW issue, that never exposed itself on DNETC, but does here. I will report back in several days.
33) Questions and Answers : Windows : Multi-GPU task takes longer than single-gpu task (Message 249) Posted 12 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: 4) With option 3, the benchmarks are almost identical. How can this be? A question: Does crossfire on/off make any difference? For those few of you that do NOT have this problem, do you have crossfire turned on or off? I added the jumper and turned on crossfire. No change to benchmarks at all. FWIW, I am seeing only ~21% load on one card, and ~54% load on the other.
34) Questions and Answers : Windows : Multi-GPU task takes longer than single-gpu task (Message 245) Posted 12 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Okay, I finally had time to run the -bench test.

35) Questions and Answers : Web site : Out of work? (Message 244) Posted 12 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: FYI, looks like the server is out of work.
36) Questions and Answers : Windows : Multi-GPU task takes longer than single-gpu task (Message 209) Posted 10 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Yes, I have SDK 2.4 installed. I also have 11.3 with APP. This is win7 64.
37) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 204) Posted 10 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Heh. I am not good at the math or the programing. I am just trying to understand how things work. So can the different values/formulas be posted? Also, do they end at 10? Or more? What is the range?
38) Questions and Answers : Windows : Multi-GPU task takes longer than single-gpu task (Message 202) Posted 10 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: It's been a week now, and I am not sure the original question has been answered. Why is the dual GPU machine slower than the single GPU machine? This was not the case with DNETC. So what needs to be done to fix this problem?
39) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 201) Posted 10 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: So the answer is "trial and error"? Mess around until one value rises to the top?
40) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 199) Posted 10 May 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Thanks for the answer, but I am not sure what to do with the answer: -1 should be best, but maybe not. Yes, I can look at the performance of a particular task, but that does not tell me how "good" that performance is, or how it would have compared to the exact same task with a different value. How do I know this?
