LOL... On my quad it only runs PS3GRID on 1 cpu/gpu and leaves the other cores idle even though under 6.3.11 it would run other projects on the other cores....back to 6.3.11 for me. |

LOL... Did you set your preferences to allow more than 1 CPU/GPU to run? Mark |

Seems to be running the same as .11 for me. Vista HP 64 SP1, Q9450. Still takes 1 core to run the GPU....can't do that, so I am going to finish this WU and then wait for ya'll to get the 5 core deal sorted out. HTH EDIT: Just wanted to add--I shutdown .11, installed .12 and launched for a few minutes....ran the same as before. Rebooted and there was no change that I could see.....not sure what changes were made though... |

LOL... Is that a new preference? Otherwise I have my preferences set to run a max of 16 cpus (did that so I could set and forget it ages ago). [edit]In any case I re-installed and checked everywhere for a relevant preference....100% of processors is set. Even tried 120% ;) It was still only running a single gpu/cpu. I gone back to 6.3.11 (again). [/edit] |

OK, I will not even try to use this buggy version... |

Just tried 6.3.12 on Vista64 and I have the same problem like the others here. BOINC only runs the GPUGRID task but not a single CPU task... pixelicious.at - my little photoblog |

should have tested 6.3.12. wow that version was a masterpiece of programming! Cuda runs fine, but no other tasks are startet - hilarious... so my advice to everyone is do not install 6.3.11 or 6.3.12 use 6.3.10 instead I am a software developer and 6.3.12 would not have been even suitable for a daily build for our internal SVN... Who did the QA on that one? |

6.3.12 works fine for me. To get going I just unsuspend 1 project at a time. I usually suspend all projects to start with then unsuspend GPUGRID, once running unsuspend other projects in this case only WCG , this then runs happily on 3 cores. I have had to to this for the last few versions on windows and linux. Now I want to sort out this ncpu+1 config. Since just now I have three cores running 100% on WCG and the 4th core less than 1% for GPUGRID. Would be good to use this spare power on another WCG WU. Any easy guides to setting the NCPU+1 setting? |
