AMD, Intel and Nvidia GPU requirements

Posted 20 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: But for that OpenGL is also hardware. Even DirectX is hardware. Though with these it's usually the software that is the limiting factor. For instance you require Windows 10 for DirectX 12 compliancy, any Windows before that is DirectX 11 or lower. What the drivers do is tell the operating system what the hardware can do, but they can't tell the operating system things the hardware cannot do. So while you can install OpenCL 3.0 drivers or OpenGL 4.6 drivers or DirectX 12 Ultimate drivers, when you hardware doesn't have the capability to run those it will default to the version the hardware can do. OpenGL may be deprecated in favour of Vulkan, but that may not happen on all platforms. |

Posted 20 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: Also, the Intel/AMD OpenCL 1.2 support, is that a hardware issue or a driver issue?OpenCL is hardware. You cannot update it with drivers on most systems. Some AMD FirePro can be updated from 1.2 to 2.0 under Linux with specific drivers, but that's because the hardware was already 2.0 capable. |

Posted 19 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: 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). |

Posted 18 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: While it doesn't prevent the bots from making accounts (they can even make accounts with a recaptcha in place), I would advice to only allow users with credit > 100 to make a profile and add an URL. That way the spammers will be able to make accounts, but not fill profiles and URLs with their crap. Now, if you look at users 661-680 they'll have spam in their profiles. On the BOINC server we have those as well, but these get deleted automatically with the delete_spammers script that runs 24/7. So then you have a user called AkilahSpoffo who doesn't exist anymore. And that for all the spam accounts made today with spam in their profile or URL. We delete these accounts as we don't have credits on the BOINC server/forums. |

Nvidia Nvidia is a bit of a mismatched clusterf*** when it comes to OpenCL support. While initially they embraced the new open standard, they stopped support for newer versions because it is a direct competitor to their own CUDA. Basically, the earliest models like a GTX 465. 470 and 480 have OpenCL 1.2 support, while all of the GT(X)500s do not. All of the GT(X)600s, most 700s, all 900s, all 1000s and all RTX are OpenCL 1.2 compliant. I'll leave this thread open so people can add to it, or ask questions.

Posted 18 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: The panorama app is a CUDA-only app for Linux and Windows with an Nvidia driver version of 418.96 or higher.Plan class says 418.39, so do check you have the correct driver both sides. |

Are the size estimates accurate?
(Message 264)
Posted 13 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: How do you do the math for the size estimate or time? You can see the FLOPs estimate of tasks by checking the properties of a running task in BOINC Manager Advanced view, Tasks tab. The latest I've seen was <rsc_fpops_est>30000000000000000.000000</rsc_fpops_est> And you can see how BOINC calculates the run time for tasks by enabling the rr_simulation in the Event Log options... menu |

Radeon VII CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY Error
(Message 263)
Posted 13 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: You can install the drivers manually via the following method: 1. Download newest version for Windows 7 x64 https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/beta/win7-radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-edition-20.4.1-apr2.exe 2. Start installation, select folder for unpacking (normally C:\AMD\) 3. When the message that it could not be installed appears, close program 4. In "Device Manager" select your device with mouse right click and choose "Update Driver Software..." 5. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" 6. In next screen browse to folder where installation is extracted and choose folder "AMD\Win7-Radeon-Software-Adrenalin-2020-Edition-20.4.1-Apr2\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF"(*), click "Next" and wait for installation of driver to finish 7. Now to install CCC (Control Panel), go to "Program Files\AMD\CCC2\Install" folder, run "ccc2_install.exe", and wait to finish installation (it could take few minutes) 8. In "Start" menu find group "AMD Settings" run Program "AMD Settings" and configure it (it must to be run manually first time to activate auto start of all services and programs) 9. Wait few minutes for background processes to finish and Restart system (not "Shutdown" and turn on) It's probably possible to use the 20.5.1 drivers for Win10 the same way. (Don't use 20.7.1 as they're bugged, for me at least). (*) The folder could also be called "AMD_Radeon_Installer_20.4.1\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF" as somewhere around this time AMD changed the directory naming scheme. |

Posted 12 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: RAC badges....as we say in the Netherlands "that doen't even make my piss luke warm/Dat maakt mij de pis niet lauw"Brabants of Limburgs? Ergens anders in Nederland zeggen ze dat niet. Ik zie, het kon erger: de knien lopen los lus in ’t hok. Anyway, this is the default badge system built into the BOINC back-end. Projects can use it, or add in their own system of badges. They're all free to do what they want. There's no need to get warm or cold over it. |

Posted 11 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/BadgeDoc The BOINC server code supports badges for the top 1%, 5%, and 25% of recent average credit (RAC). They are represented by gold, silver, and bronze medal images, respectively, and are assigned to both users and teams. |

Can't get any work
(Message 243)
Posted 9 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: To be able to use an Nvidia GPU, it requires OpenCL 1.2 and above. That's hardware based, you cannot update it with drivers. Although your messages seem to point to a problem contacting a project's scheduler. But since you post such truncated messages, it's difficult to see what's happening. it doesn't necessarily mean BOINC cannot contact this project. |

Posted 9 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: I agree that chip can use the above code as an example to disable these things. I already have hide signatures on because of the signatures some people have that are massive and way bigger than what they write into messages on the forums. I also don't see in its documentation any mention of an option to disable these things. |

Posted 8 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: Now please an option in community preferences for showing/not showing of badges. As I don't need to see them on every post and even in the forum index as well. Clutters. Of course I can go block them in uBlock Origin, but it would be friendlier to have the option to not show them. And leave that up to the user to decide. |

Posted 6 Jul 2020 by Jord Post: Enabled the reliable hosts stuff, should solve it for nowIt's causing my computer to not be eligible to get work. If that's what you want, then so be it. But that's not what reliable hosts is there for. My host is sporadically on and running BOINC, I have an average turn-around time for this project of just under an hour (0.04 days). When it does get work it'll run it and return it in 40 minutes. Trouble is, my host hasn't had the chance yet to reach 10 consecutive valid results to be allowed to be reliable. 9 is the most it had in a row before there were two that couldn't be validated due to the problem I pointed out. So my count started anew, but your reliable hosts setting made it that my host cannot become reliable as it didn't make the requirements. Hosts whose average turnaround is at most reliable_max_avg_turnaround and that have at least 10 consecutive valid results e are considered 'reliable'. Make sure you set this low enough that a significant fraction (e.g. 25%) of your hosts qualify. You may run the project as you seem to find fit, I don't mind. But just filling in values without reading the documentation isn't going to be of help here. And it's not needed. I asked you a couple of times already to email the BOINC Projects email list if you feel you're in over your head, as the other project admins are more than willing to help out. Do know that anyone with a new computer signing up now can't get work as their computer isn't reliable. And it's not explained either in the scheduler messages. Mine just says it asked for work but didn't get any. 06/07/2020 21:56:14 | minecrafthome | Requesting new tasks for AMD/ATI GPU Go away, shoo. |
