My cc_file

[Razankar]

First I would like to thank the people who have put code up and tried to explain who it works for those who don't understand namely me  :cry2: i have being looking for it for about a week, i have being crunching poem for awhile but have only just gotten the GPU part working, yay me.

anyway i would like to set my GPU to work on 2 wu it may be able to do 3 but for now 2 will do, anyway as i have said I am not a code person i don't get it, as i have read this thread i have some idea however i still don't get it.

I based my code on the code what was at the start of this thread and have tried make changes that will fit my needs, I'm expecting this to be a bad idea as i am expecting my changes to be wrong so could some one go over my code to correct my stuff up, thank you.

Now I'm trying to setup two threads on my GPU, i would rather have manel control over how many cores are working on the GPU threads but oner all it don't matter as long as it works I'll be happy, so yes i need 2 CPU cores working on the 2 GPU treads.

anyway my code.

I am no help to you at all as I do not use the files I just get the default.  I hope that someone else can assist you

Hi Razankar (Ashley),  good to see you active on the board.  +1 for your post.

I am just putting together (putting back parts) my old PC just to run POEM.  I had it running 2 WUs per core previously but my app_info file is on the hard drive I can't access.

In the meantime could you let us know what sort of ATI card you are using and your CPU details (dual, quad etc cores).  Which version of BOINC are you using?

There are a few app_info files on the POEM forum that my give you a clue.

In your app_info file you might want to change <count>0.5</count> to <count>0.50</count>

I might be way off track but I seem to remember it needs the zero after the 5 (two numbers after the full stop)

fingers crossed.   I will get back to you in a couple of days unless some one else solves the problem.

Cheers

Lawry

EDIT:  Forget the 0.5 stuff above as I was right off track.

just pinched it off the POEM forum.   Supposed to work giving 2 WUs per GPU.

Cheers again

Greetings Razankar

+1 Karma for your first post, hope you are crunching well.

With the recent updated binaries at POEM@HOME, I am using the following app_info.xml file that is successfully crunching tasks, note with OpenCL I have found that you need to reserve a cpu core per task you are doing on the GPU

   ie  on a quad core for example, if i was doing 2 tasks at one time on my GPU, I would set boinc option -  on multi processor systems use at most 50 percent

thank you for all your replys, i have being crunching since 2006 I'm not sure when joined Boinc@Australia but it would be 2008/2009 i don't remember.

This is my computer, just for fun i installed 9800gt its working on GPUGrid I think its going to take no sooner than a day to finish. oh yeah i just thought i would say that the ati card is the one crunching poem.

I'll have a look at your code tomorrow its to late now..........time for bed......

Ashley

Just a though I was expecting to have to put more code in that file so that it would recognize the 8900gt but it worked without it, i thought it was not able to do that??

Can you guys have a look at the post I made over at poem forum and tell me what you think.

I tried putting app_info.xml in however it seems to be looking for a cc_config.xml.

Yeah i can't see the poem folder so how do i un-hide it so i can paste the file in.

I did know to do this but i have forgotten how.

Ashley

[JugNut]

Hi Ashley, it goes in this folder "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\boinc.fzk.de_poem".  It should not be hidden. Just copy & paste it in using windows explorer.

The default is in C:\ drive, it would be D:\  or E:\ if you installed Boinc on another drive or partition)

Stop Boinc & make sure it has stopped & not still running in the system tray by the clock or you can lose WU's (it has happened to me)

Also press CTRL-SHIFT-ESC keys in win7 or CTRL-ALT-DEL in XP to make sure it still not running in the processes tab, but hidden, with same possible results as above.

I've recently had to use the app_info file & optimized apps just to get my new GPU to run correctly. I'm still very much a learner at it but have been motivated lately to learn.

Hope any of this helps ..JN..

[JugNut]

Just a thought,

Did you download a copy of the app_info.xml file you wish to use? 

Or did you create the app_info.xml file in notepad using the suggestion from the other members in there above posts?

Just checking..

[Razankar]

The guides on the internet where not very helpful if you don't understand code so i asked for help in what i should put in it, so i tried the they suggested i don't know much about it but it may work, how ever the folder you are meant to put it in is hidden so un-hide you can't put it where meant to go.

I guess I'm going to have to look it up.

if you want why don't you give it a go, can't hurt but then i have herd of wu that crashed after it was put in.......... :cool:

I will give it a go later.

Ashley

[JugNut]

OK then this will un-hide system files & folders for you & let you see "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\boinc.fzk.de_poem" folder. (where the app_info.xml file goes).

1. Open Windows explorer (double click computer)
2. Go to the menu heading that says "Organize". From that list select "Folder and search options"
3. In that box select "view" tab. Go down to the box that says "hidden files and folder" & change it from "Don't show.. " to "show hidden files & folders" by clicking the radio button. Also make sure the setting "Hide extensions for known file types" is UN-ticked,  then click on OK & your good to go.

Also you may also wish to change the setting in the same section only in the "general tab". Go to the "navigation plane" & click both boxes, then click OK.

These are one of the first things I do after an Windows install and forget it's not always like this.  But these changes are invaluable when navigating explorer. The Boinc folder from my first post should now be seen & all file extentions as well.

Cheers ..JN..

P.S If you can now see the folder but not be allowed access, you may need to be logged on as an administrator.

[Razankar]

Thank you I'm so lazy i could have looked that up, sorry for being such a bother.

Ashley

Second day of new anti-deprecent so anyway thank you.

[Razankar]

Ok i have unhide the files and folder and can now see everything, i have put the in the location you said and nothing, bonic has not said anything about the file at all, see.

the only thing i have not tried is restarting windows.

Any ideas what i could be doing wrong.

Ashley

[JugNut]

It's no trouble Ashley.  There are other members light years ahead of me in all things Boinc, but I'll help if I can till smarter heads arrive again.

And don't worry about the med's i've had em' before some years ago an things evened out quickly.   Also I gave up smoking a few days ago after 30 years plus on the coffin nails.  I am taking something call champix.  It seems to help a bit but I still feel like an egg out of it's carton for the first time.

Your startup info should have a line something like....  "29/06/2012 8:51:46 PM | Poem@Home | Found app_info.xml;...."
It seems the app_info.xml file is not in the right place or correctly named or formatted.

Did you use the xml code from your first post?

The xml code from the sightly different versions from Tazz or Lawry in there above posts should work fine for you.  Testing may be required.   

You create the app_info.xml using notepad.  Just copy & paste the xml code into notepad & then click on save as.  You save it as "app_info.xml". Make sure it saves as ".xml" extension & not ".txt" extension.  Then copy the resulting file to the "boinc.fzk.de_poem" folder in C:\ProgramData mentioned & now un-hidden in my above post.  While Boinc is fully stopped of course.

If none of this helps i'm afraid i'm out of idea's for now.  Keep in touch.

Cheers & Good luck ..JN..

Hey i got it working, i have more but I'm too tired to type it either way thank you for help in getting it working
