Can I slap ghost?  I had a great post all ready and when I hit post it gave me the message about a new post and ate my post!!!

  LoL, for next time, when that happens you can usually use your browser's back button, & copy to the clipboard, then paste it into a new post again 

Slapping ghost could be difficult & potentially messy with all that ectoplasm, but fun to watch

Now, what was I saying? Something about not worrying about a couple of bad WUs as long as they help someone else. Oh yeah, and I have tried going back to driver 267.59 to see how it does. I don't see much difference from the 275.33 driver I was using. I went back because I thought I was having trouble getting Raistmers' app and yours to play nice together but it looks like WU series # 13mr11ag 13143.8656.xxxx is what is giving me trouble. Some are running in around 25 minutes and some are taking an hour and 25 minutes. THey are throwing my time to completion all over the place.

Hmmm, maybe it's time to think about reviving/extending my modified boinc with per Application DCFs....

This is one of the long ones http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=2000429739  and this is one of the short ones  http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=2000429745 No idea what is happening to the run time.


Oh, and all I had to do was hit the post button again. I hit my back button without checking to make sure the post had gone through.

Were you running the longer one alongside Raistmer's OpenCL APs ?  You could try use Fred's priority thingy, or Process Lasso or similar to jack up the priority on the Cuda app.  Doing other stuff on the machine ?

You get any sticky downclocks still?  How's the temperatures etc ?

Temp is 69c, no sticky down clocks, and I was running Raistmers' app at the same time for both of them. I'm only running one MB and one AP on my GPU so it would finish like the short one then do the long one. That or a couple of short ones in a row then a long one. I've mostly been changing the unroll on his app trying to find a sweet spot but it doesn't seem to matter as to how fast or slow the MBs are.

I've mostly been changing the unroll on his app trying to find a sweet spot but it doesn't seem to matter as to how fast or slow the MBs are.

But it can matter. Different unrolls take different amount of GPU memory. So, at least different memory layouts for CUDA app. And with higher unrolls it can have memory shortage...

[perryjay]

I've been keeping an eye on the times as I make the changes if I change while a WU is running then I watch how fast it was running as compared to what it does after the change. I've also made the change before the WU runs and compare it to another run before the change. The longer WUs seemed to pause for a minute or two even though the elapsed time kept climbing. It didn't seem to have anything to do with what the AP app was doing. This without me doing any piddling around.

This one finally decided it had enough.  http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=771323139


This one is interesting to me. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=766554061  The first guy is running 32f but the third guy takes anonymous platform seriously.  I can't figure out what version he is running.

That is Stock 6.08, but running under Anonymous Platform,

Hmm, you overflowed on that with pulses for no outwardly obvious reason.  Watch those temperatures  .  I've decided to put some level of monitoring of that within future applications, so you'll be caught red handed cooking your GPU 

[perryjay]

Couple of things going on around that time. I believe I was still running my higher over clock and playing with Raistmers' app. Possibly running one of his and two of yours or some such as that. Temps have always held pretty much to a safe range so I'm not too worried about that. Figure I pretty much did that invalid myself by fiddling.
