Boinc projects that use gpu1/6/2024 However, setting aside the cussing and fussing about credits, GPU's can scream though wu's at hundreds of times the speed of CPU's.Įxperimenting on my laptop with 6.10.57 client. I am trying to learn Fermi technology now and my forehead is bloody from beating my head on my workbench. If you run multiple GPU's/machine it gets even more interesting with "dummy plugs", SLI, heat, air flow, power supplies, etc. However it is much, much better than when I started GPU crunching a few years ago. dll's are always changing and not always compatible. To crunch GPU, the BOINC release, the nVidia driver and the CUDA. To crunch CPU at WCG, you don't have to know anything about a computer other than how to install an application. Yes WCG will have to careful entering this technology and it MUST be opt-in. Everything I know is from the point of view of a BOINC/Windows/nVidia/CUDA "bigot". ![]() I don't know if or how they would handle demands for a GPU. Probably very low weight and very opt-in only.įrom what little I know they coexist but are mutually exclusive on the CPU side. Does BOINC back off if is running from trying to grab the card? From a discussion on Berkeley forums it does seem to cause a frictious condition, so it looks like the permission of specific cards as are allowed to be set in the cc_config.xml is a probable requirement to have these clients coexist. So it's not obvious to the untrained eye and again underlining the "I'm BOINC, resistance is futile" regardless if was there before in the offerings (FAICR). For example on a GTX285, a wu take ~11 minutes vs. Also their wu's run on either a CPU or GPU so you can easily see the difference in speed. It is very benign using only about 80% GPU and 0.05 CPU. If you have a compatible card, Milkyway is the best beginner's GPU project. Any BOINC GPU project will show it in the Status column of the Tasks tab.ĮDIT: I've never looked this up but "I think" this is % of a core NOT % of a thread. Ingleside is correct it does not use BOINC. Easy to tell though, just crunch a wu and BOINC will tell you the doesn't use BOINC, so BOINC won't tell you this. ![]() I don't know what is as I don't crunch it.
