Last modified: 10 Nov 2009, 0:12:50 UTC hi, AMD does not want us to distribute any DLL at the moment, so you must install it yourself. Sorry about that. YOU NEED: 1) ATI-opencl-beta driver 2) ATI-opencl-sdk stream SDK from here The minimum card is a Radeon 4850. Below this one shared memory is emulated so it is terribly slow. WU submitted will be very short just for us to get some data. gdf ID: 13435 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 10 Nov 2009, 3:06:09 UTC The minimum card is a Radeon 4850. Below this one shared memory is emulated so it is terribly slow. As OpenCL requires the shared memory (local address space in OpenCL) to offer general read write access, only the HD5000 line will natively support this. At least that is the official information. Actually it is a bit strange as the HD4000 shared memory supports different addressing modes and should be usable in several scenarios without the need to emulate it with (slow) global memory (DX11 Compute allows the use of shared memory also with SM4.1 GPUs like the HD4000 series for example).

Yes, you need to create an account, but it is very quick. We will only create a Windows application for now. Workunits will come in today. gdf ID: 13442 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm a bit confused, if I install these BETA Driver Files with the Installer which are different than the ATI Drivers I already have installed can I still run Collatz or Milkyway with the Drivers. ???

I have no idea. The driver should not affect it as it is newer, however the only way is to try. If you don't want to stop production for beta work don't change it. You also need a new client: 6.10.17 gdf ID: 13444 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I attached a system with an ATI HD4850 to GPUGRID. Boinv Version 6.10.18. I registered with AMD, downloaded and installed the OpenCL_Beta and OpenCL_sdk programs and restarted. I did not pick up any GPUGRID Beta tasks. Boinc keeps saying no NVIDIA GPU's. The phrase, all work and no play makes Johny a dull boy, springs to mind! ID: 13448 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm a bit confused, if I install these BETA Driver Files with the Installer which are different than the ATI Drivers I already have installed can I still run Collatz or Milkyway with the Drivers. ??? On Vista and Win7 yes, with WinXP Collatz will run. MW will likely still be influenced by the same WinXP driver issue introduced half a year ago (but not tested). The problem is that it is still in beta stage (and expires sometimes in january). The OpenCL compatibility should be integrated to the normal driver release hopefully with Cat 9.12 or 10.1.
