CPU <-> GPU rebranding

[Samuel]

Hi all, I tested rescheduler and found the following problem:

boinc is attached to seti and primegrid, after running rescheduler something wrong happened to all my primegrid workunits. These simply disappeared. Eventually these (at least some) come back after awhile (resending lost results)...

I don't know if rescheduler can be used in a "mixed" environemnt...
Any hints?

This is a known issue with v1.9, well at least I reported it to Marius here in this thread.

If you have tasks from the PrimeGrid subprojects that use the sr2sieve application - at least PPSsieve and PSPsieve -  running ReSchedule v1.9 could cause your client_state to be truncated. This is (apparently) because it fails to parse the workunit url. If the test function displays correct task counts AND occupied slot count then it should be OK. You probably shouldn't have the reschduler in automatic mode when attached to and allowing work from PrimeGrid.

When I have tasks from these subprojects and need to rebrand MB tasks, I use Raistmer's script which works fine.

Anyone want to volunteer how to install this, I installed activepearl but when I try to open the program a black dos type box flashes for a split second before vanishing.

I'm on win 7 64.

for Rebranding tool you don't need perl.
My perl-based script completely superseded by Rebranding tool app.

Its not in the download section, a search doesn't find it and theres no obvious thread on it in the last 12 months, any clues ?

Thanks Joe
=br />Any reason for not putting it in the download section. I read a few pages in and noticed the original post was getting upd`ted with every new version so gave up there thinking the OP had the latest version.

The primary reason is Marius is missing in action and not here to support his program. Need more be said?

Absolutely not!!! Your script is cross-platform while the app not.

I meant "for Windows" (host in question was under Win7x64)  but bad formulated again

Trying to run Raistmer's perl rebrand script under Ubuntu. It keeps coming up with 0 tasks for CPU and GPU. Placed V5 in data folder and ran script from terminal, 0 tasks. Edited file and replaced all instances of 603 with 528, 0 tasks. Moved script to BOINC folder where client_state.xml resides, 0 tasks. It appears that script is supposed to die with "ERROR: cant open task file" if there is a path issue. Haven't seen that. Any idea what needs to be changed in script to allow it to run?
Thanks

[Raistmer]

1) It should run from BOINC's data directory (where client_state.xml lives).
2) it will not (as far as I can remember) move tasks from CPU to GPU. Aim of that script not to do load balancing but free GPU from crunching non-effective tasks, that is, it will move VLARs and VHARs from GPU to CPU.

Load balancing was added by Marius in his ReShedule app for Windows.

[Twidget]

As indicated above, the data and client_state.xml are in different directories. Tried script in both directories and get 0 tasks in both.

CUDA crunching on my primary Ubuntu machine has rendered it virtually unusable due to extremely slow graphics. Sometimes it crawls to a standstill other times it will respond fairly well. Suspect the VLAR tasks may be cause for standstill. Considering giving Crunch3r's VLAR killer cuda app a try to see if it makes a difference.

Will give the Reschedule app a try on my Windows 7 machine later today to see how it does.

See I've got clock's to reset this morning, or what's left of it.

Thanks for your assistance.

How Reschedule know what is and where is main app?
Why I got this error? ( both app are in same dir)

Reschedule1.9 doesn't work with Cuda Wu's branded as 6.09, only 6.08,
as you're a squire, i suggest you head over to the Beta downloads and try out one of the new installers,
which should fix your problem, please give feedback in the Public Release Beta Test Forum.

The ReScheduler move which kind of VLARs to the CPU?
This are < 0.12 AR WUs like the MB_6.08_CUDA_V12_VLARkill_mod delete?

Which kind of AR WUs are the best for GPU?
The VHAR (shorties) run better on CPU?

AFAIK, the shorties run very fast on GPU.
And because of Cr./hour the shorties give more earnings than the normal AR WUs (on GPU).

Thanks!
