Make sure you have a cc_config.xml file setup as instructed above telling BOINC to use all GPU's. This way it is seen as a co-processor and not as a display. Do NOT attached a dummy plug or a monitor into it.
LARA BOINC DRIVERS
NVidia card needs to have ONLY the drivers installed and nothing else. I'm not sure the exact versions that are confirmed working.
LARA BOINC INSTALL
Install the Catalyst package of your choice. (From what I read, this is a must) You must also use this as your primary display and should have the monitor attached to it. Perhaps when I get a capable Intel GPU (yes they are now getting into the game) I will try mixing it.ĪMD card needs to be in slot 0. I did not do it myself because I don't see the need when I can just use two AMD or two nVidia. However, here is how I was told to do it. It is just too much of a pain to setup and keep happy. This is possible, but highly not recommended. Many people ask if they can run both AMD/ATI cards with nVidia cards within the same machine. WCG is considered a project whereas DSFL is a sub-project at WCG. BOINC is designed to managed based on project not sub projects. This would adjust BOINC to run based on the times for HCC and it will be better managed. At WCG for example, HCC tasks but not FAH or one of the many others. At projects like WCG that have multiple apps, it is easy to confuse BOINC because it has to keep re-adjusting for the different sizes.Ī suggestion: If you are filling a cache up for several days of work, try to focus on one type of app at a project. It takes a few completed tasks for BOINC to learn how quick it can complete work. Keep it small to begin with and then ramp it up. The solution is to not over fill your cache. If there are a lot of work units pausing like this due to a large cache size, your system can become sluggish. If you have LAIM (leave application in memory) checked, each of the paused work units will sit in memory (whether it be RAM or Virtual Memory) until a system restart or the work unit is finished. End result is that you may have several "panicked" work units not complete by the deadline.Ģ. You risk not completed work on time because some WU's will pause to try and finish others. A couple problems can arise (but not always) from the high priority situation.ġ. TIP: If you have a rather large cache size (say 9 days) and the deadline is approaching for a lot of the tasks, your system will start designating tasks as "high priority". Macintosh OS X 10.6 has these libraries built in. You will need to install this SDK as AMD does not allow that projects distribute the needed libraries on their own yet. The SDK page will tell you which Catalysts are required for the latest SDK. You will also require Catalysts 10.4 or above.
LARA BOINC WINDOWS
In the case that your GPU cannot support the APP driver, for whatever reason, you'll need to install the ATI Stream SDK for Windows and Linux, since it contains specific libraries that are needed. In the case of ATI/AMD GPUs, you'll need an up-to-date APP driver. In the case of Nvidia GPUs, you'll need an up-to-date driver. Make sure you have up do date drivers installed. Make sure BOINC is NOT installed to run as a service. Restart the BOINC client so that it reads the file if it was already running.ġ. In Vista/7 it is in a hidden folder named C:\Program Data\BOINC\ In Windows XP is is normally in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\ĥ. Save this file to your BOINC data directory. xml file using Notepad or other text editer.Ĥ. To run more then one GPU at a time in BOINC:ġ.
LARA BOINC HOW TO
Since there isn't a lot of BOINC related threads and how to discussions, I figured I would add one.
