Now, we will make shortcut for running BOINC manager with using shortcut. After it set BOINC folder and run BOINC manager with "./run_manager" command. Then write "exit" command to exit administrator mode. Write "su" command and fill the administrator password.Ĭhmod 777 boinc_5.8.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh If message with privilege problem appear is necessary to change privilege of the file. Notice: It is very important to write correctly upper and lower capitals. After downloading put the file to the home folder "/home/user/".
#BOINC MANAGER NOTICES DOWNLOAD#
The official client is possible to download from the official website. The procedure is written using version of client 5.8.17.

One is to run the JStateson Milkyway BOINC client which gets around the work request/report result problem.This article is written for users using linux with basic knowledge and they want to run BOINC before retreiving more acknowlege about linux. Universe has a 11 second delay.Īs I mentioned there are solutions to get around this problem. Some projects have ridiculously short work request delays. The work request delay should be longer than the shortest running task, but even that wouldn't help on hosts with multiple gpus, you inevitably would still have a finished result to report within the delay period. This has been reported ad nauseum in the NC forum many times. But then sit there dormant for ten minutes on a work request backoff before your next request gets you your allotted 900 tasks again. This usually means you run through all of your allotted 900 tasks. Still does not solve the problem of MW preventing a work request on the same connection as one where you report a result.Īnd the fast running tasks means you almost always have a new result to report in under 90 seconds. Yes, getting rid of the report immediately certainly helped. I know Keith Myers is far more experienced in this kind of stuff than I am so hopefully he will give his thoughts too. MW loves to send hundreds of tasks at once and then force a 10 minute timeout of no communications requests before you can get new gpu tasks, cpu tasks are not affected by that. If you cut them out and save them below the last line it won't affect the file but may show up as some unknown instructions which you can safely ignore. Personally I would get rid of all but a few lines but I would trim the and the lines first, save it and see what happens. (if it gives me problems I'll trim cc_config.xml down a bit and see if that helps) Just for fun, I think I'll turn on on a 1070 only computer and see if it is recognized and runs. I have a cc_config.xml in place under BoincData as follows:

As for MilkyWay they are probably sending out 2 at a time since they are so short. There is a percentage completed number where it starts trying to get the next task but I don't know what that is, ie it doesn't download the next one at 3% completed. I think it interesting that it runs 1 GPU task but downloads 2 pending even though i have a resource share set to "0".Ĭan you post your cc_config file here and confirm that it's in the Boinc folder and not the Boinc/programs/seti folderĪs for scheduling the newer versions of Boinc, since 7.14.2 I think, a project will predownload the next task so you aren't waiting for a project that's busy and you are out of work for a bit. I continue to be puzzled by BOINC only scheduling 1 GPU for but scheduling both for other projects I've tried. I am not doing anything funky at this point. I ASSUME this reduces context switching and thus reduces overhead.
#BOINC MANAGER NOTICES WINDOWS 10#
Windows 10 schedules a task in cpu pairs like I indicated (0:1, 2:3, 4:5 etc) and Ubuntu schedules in pairs of 0:12, 1:13, 2:14 etc. If so you are good to go and both should start crunching right away. xml file and then save it in the Boinc folder above.Īfter you do that you should stop and restart Boinc, after Boinc is up go into the Boinc Manager, down by the clock, and click on Tools, Event Log and scroll up to the top and see if Boinc lists both of your gpu's. When you save the file you will have to remove the. To make one use NOTEPAD in Windows, NOT a word processing program as it will add stuff to the file making it unreadable by Boinc, and copy and paste the above line in it. If you don't already have a cc_config.xml file you can make one yourself, but check the folder c:\program data\boinc to see if it's already in there or not. You need a cc_config.xml file with these lines in it:
#BOINC MANAGER NOTICES HOW TO#
I have two video cards, a Radeon RX580 and a NVidia GTX680.ĭevice Manager shows both of the functioning properly, yet MW only using the Radeon card even though i have both ticked in preferences.Ĭan someone tell me how to get to use both ? Mike
