My gpu is
OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 6570/6670/7570/7670 series (Turks) (driver version 1800.11 (VM), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1800.11), 2048MB, 2015MB available, 1248 GFLOPS peak)

An OpenCL 2.0 AMD GPU is a requirement at this project. That means Radeon RX 200 and above.

My NVIDIA 750Ti also does not get any tasks although the server status reports many available.

Well, it seems the apps are changing and the one running right now requires a more recent GPU driver than what I currently have installed on my Linux box...

Which version is required? Or does the server not report that back?

I'll go make a sticky thread with requirements.

Not get any feeds for my Intel HD4600 GPU, just the nVidia.

I'm looking at the event log and there's not even a request for Intel GPU work. Actually, just tried setting preferences to nVidia too and didn't see any messages about requesting work or the such....

There's a bug in BOINC 7.16.6 and 7.16.7 that doesn't load the default log flags <task>, <file_xfer> and <sched_ops> and so you won't see those messages.
This can be fixed by opening event log options (CTRL+SHIFT+F) then making sure those three are checked, before saving.

Your Intel GPU is not supported. See https://minecraftathome.com/minecrafthome/forum_thread.php?id=41&postid=286 for supported Intel GPUs. (They require OpenCL 2.0 support and above).

Thanks for the flags info. I knew I wasn't going crazy...aside from having a teenage and a 2 year old daughter going on 16. ^_^

I saw the info on the OpenCL 2.0 but 1. I didn't realize the new apps were shortly right after I had those 2 Intel WUs and 2. BOINC reports the 960 OpenCL:

 |  | OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 960M (driver version 451.67, device version OpenCL 1.2 CUDA, 2048MB, 1682MB available, 1505 GFLOPS peak)

I'm looking at the task and it says OpenCL so it's a little confusing... am I missing something or else is this something with BOINC reporting info?


Out of curiosity, why the move to OpenCL 2.0. It's been a whiles since I followed GPU crunching so I am not up to speed on the latest (and greatest?) in regards to OpenCL.

TIA!

Yav

P.S. Shouldn't that be posted on the News (as a new topic)?

Okay, looked backed at your post... Open CL 1.2 for nVidia.

I also see Ty responded and said BOINC >LIED< to me... How DARE it do that! Actually, I recall a long time somewhere BOINC was doing something similar like that for some project.

Well, something's afoot. I can't get work either and Minecraft@Home is the only project allowed to ask for work.

Same. Can't get work. Something changed at the project within the last 24 hours.

I wonder if it has to do with all the missing work units. I have the feeling they got deleted.

I get no work with a NVidia RTX 2080S

Please see:

https://minecraftathome.com/minecrafthome/forum_thread.php?id=44

for an update on this situation. I apologize for the server crash, as we had a huge increase of users due to the Panorama seed being found, causing various scheduling issues and compounded by tasks being cleaned up improperly by the server.

We are slowly returning to our previous levels of compute, and many members of this project have been busy assisting new users (From SalC1's video on our seed findings) in joining this project.

On the bright side, we are working on or preparing to:

Closing up: Kaktwoos-cl (GPU dual-chunk cactus stacking) "Round 1", our main project. As of writing, we have 66% of tasks finished. Likely by next week, current tasks will be finished and any cactus height related findings will be disclosed
Launch: Kaktwoos-rs (CPU Cactus stacking) as a beta application. The speed of an 8 core CPU is comparable to a midrange, last-gen GPU (20 million seeds a second)
Planning: Kaktoos (CUDA) with a new set of tasks to find taller, single chunk cacti from a height of 62. Stock kaktwoos works off of cacti from a height of 63, meaning more chunks with tall cacti we can stack can be found.

and...

Investigating: Pack.png with a recreation, organized on our Discord server. We are planning to use approaches and terrain checks learned from MainMenu/ Panorama project to hopefully get closer to finding this elusive world.

During this week, we have jumped massively from an average of 1200 recently credit computers and 3.5 PetaFLOPS of 'average' online computing power to 1500 with 4.2 PetaFLOPS.

Thanks so much for the contributions so far!

I now get work, new 2.03 app. Run time about 1,150 seconds.

I apologize for the server crash, as we had a huge increase of users due to the Panorama seed being found, causing various scheduling issues and compounded by tasks being cleaned up improperly by the server.

They're still not being deleted. I still have mention of all tasks since I started this project.

It's mistaking you for a hoarder. ;)

Back to that then. So more work for Moo! Wrapper, Milkyway, Einstein, Collatz and Einstein.

Still can't get work.
