BOINC GPU Client Milkyway@home "V3" 8 Tasks

[Rapanui5]

I have a radeon 6790 and still says "An ati GPU supporting double precision math is requiered" as far as I know the 6790 is a quite new graphic and is powerful so...

How many flops is your CPU?

[skunkredhair]

*cough* CUDA *cough*

[EmploiLaMiR]

@skunkredhair

CUDA?

[skunkredhair]

@EmploiLaMiR just was trying to say that nVidia has the game :) no bad feelings.

[EmploiLaMiR]

Its the "3 Liquid Hz" - "Metropolitan"

@EmploiLaMiR Thanks! Do you know by any chance official web site of the band? I can't even find a page on wikipedia about the band :(

[uamade]

What kind of song it is? Do you recall the band name? Thanks

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

Does it run on the 5800 series cards?

thanks

[misterpc23]

@TheLittleWorldofGaz It's running on my 2 5870's in crossfire right now :)

I agree you could repost video with Boinc 6.10.18 or later. Experiment with the latest software go to Boinc, Download, All Versions, Development Version. This second is 6.10.43. Unfortunately not many of the projects are written to take advantage of GPU processing. The few projects that do use nVidia GPU processors. MilkyWay is one of the very few that use both.

@pCfReAke

With Boinc> = 6.10.18 and current ATI Display Driver should it run automatically...

[Jejking]

MW@H relies on Dual Precision, sthg my HD5770 lacks. Any other way around to push it through?

By the way, just take the latest version of BOINC. Now you have the ability to snooze the GPU for a while instead of pausing ALL the work.

@Jejking Hi Jejking, I am very interested about what you noted in your comment because I want to crunch with my GPU. ATM I have no CUDA/AVT card, but I plan to purchase an ATI 5770 soon. Could you tell me if yours can work with double precission WUs or if you are getting credit (how much a day if you know it) with MilkyWay or other projects? Thank you =)

[Jejking]

@antronk Voteskip that HD5770 if you want Milkyway@Home. It just doesn't work, no patch available. The card is suitable for Collatz Conjecture (I do that, gives a shitload of points and I hope to get that question answered asap so everybody can go crunching on some actually smart project instead of that dumb shit) and another project. But a HD58xx can run ALL ATi GPU projects without problems or workarounds and even get a much higher output.

[antronk]

@Jejking Thank you!

[pCfReAke]

How did you get the client to run on your gpu? Is there something special you have to download?

[Core2QX]

omg alles nur verheitzen

[k1dicarus]

this is no tweak or "show effect"

It´s just good coding. Everyone with an supported ati can download it and run it without tweaking something.

[EmploiLaMiR]

At the time of the production of this video it was only a "show effekt": With very, very low credits(quasi nothing), today the application/project "throws off" credits correctly. ;)

[k1dicarus]

I should read the names of posters from time to time ...

Shame on me to gainsay the mighty Gipsel :)

Work like his makes my proud to be german.

[slomarik]

OMG Great speed.

[Noobtron3000]

whats the point of milkyway@home?

[ray1351]

its generating the whole milky way in 3d using satalight images xD

[BoincItaly]

How come it elaborates like 8 WUs at a time?

[pGipsel]

This was just for a show effect.

As BOINC does not support ATIs at the moment, I implemented my own scheduling algorithm directly to the application. Basically it switches very fast between any number of WUs you throw at it (uses one CPU core independent on the number of WUs). It does not change the time per WU, if you run just one, it completes in 9.5 seconds. The number you can run concurrently is only limited by the the graphics card RAM, but besides this, you can set it to arbitrary values.

Danke für das Video ;)
