FAH GPU Tracker V2

[riotcity76]

I seriously don't understand why Stanford isn't making a proper GPU client for the Ati cards , shader units enough

could be fine if st.u. made some proper ati-clients,last year it was ati 5xxx year,until 460 came along,and ati is to dominate next year with 6800 and 6900 i think.

Stanford has been working on an ATI client. From Vijay Pande himself in this thread:

ATI deprecated their GPU language, Brook, in favor of OpenCL. So, we were forced to completely rewrite our GPU core for ATI in openCL. This takes time, especially to write highly optimized code. We have been internally testing this and expect to start beta testing it shortly (days to weeks). It will require client changes that are now built into the v7 client.

The v7 client is going through close Alpha testing. I have kept it there (rather than an open beta) since I want it to be in fairly good shape before the rest of the world sees it. It has gone a long way even in the last few weeks. It's hard to be sure when it's ready, but I expect we'll have something by the end of the year, perhaps a bit sooner. I agree that this client will go a long way to bringing in more donors, as it is intended to make it a lot easier to run FAH.

This was as of Oct 19. If they are still on track, we might see the V7 client before the end of the year. Of course it may end up being further delayed, but I would think within a few months the new client will be out, hopefully giving ATI cards much improved performance gains.

Edit: Ray I know you've already seen that thread (and posted in it

) I just wanted to remind everybody that they are working on an ATI client and hopefully it will be out soon. We just need to be a little more patient.

thanks the info riot,it`ll be huge to fold max with 5970 and 5870,think ill find some cheap n-cards folding until v7 finds its way to us happy folders.

ati 5970 4gb@1000@1300

Nice ha there is also someone who worked on this that was a member on Redline Reduxe but he is banned

 

[thestepster]

[SnW]

I don't think you know him mate, MtM is his short nick

He is a great and a very helpful guy, yet often very misunderstanded.. just like me to be honest..

I geuss so

Do you have a few hours

like Steve and Charlie said...

Shame the tracker refused to start up my GPU1 aka the one with my last GTX260 in it.. just didn't start ,

had to delete a few files until it started again

 

[SOA_RRU]

Well this was strange, went to start the tracker 30mins ago and noticed the gpu wasn't folding

checked the log and it came back with...

A potential conflict was detected:

Process 4180 is currently running and may also be a client with Mach. ID 3.

The program will now exit. Upon restart, this check will not be done --

You may wish to check that no client is currently running in

C:\Users\Kris\Desktop\Downloads\FAH_GPU_Tracker_V2\FAH GPU Tracker V2\GPU0 before restarting.

Changed the machine ID from 3 to 4 & now its folding

it worked fine yesterday

Quick reboot to see if i could recreate the error but it seems to be working fine now

 

[SnW]

Yea this tracker definitely has some flaws ..

Ya seems like afew other people had the same problem, i just changed the machine ID back to 3 to see what would happen & its working fine

I wonder if this was the project he was talking to me about. He had asked me to help out, then after he was banned from RR he wanted nothing to do with me

.

 

[kup]

I don't think this is his actual project because he did release his to FoldingForum at one point.

Nope he only helped out jedi95 its his project...

My GpuTracker ( latest release ) tells me sth. like 18kPPD.

But I just get about 9kPPD. Do I lose time when I'm not at

home, or is the calculation from the tracker wrong?

In this very moment it tells me: Project 2684, time to

finish 3d13h, 9k points for the project and 15.485,3 PPD.

My calculation tells me sth. like 3kPPD

You are looking at your average ppd, which is based off the past 7 days in the stats. You turned in 17k points yesterday (22nd) so everything looks fine to me. Give it a week with that production and it'll go up.

same problem with the gpu ID again this morning, changed to 4 and even that wouldn't have it, deleted the config file then restarted etc & it worked but the new config file didn't show name/team passkey etc

Back to the old tried & tested method's of running F@H that always works!
