Hi Rom, and all, A bit of a conundrum in http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8687 that I think needs a wider audience. I'm a bit stuck here. This person installs BOINC, not as a service. Doesn't matter which version of BOINC, then he installs his AMD videocard drivers, also doesn't matter which version. When he starts BOINC, it'll find his GPU and he's able to use it on Einstein.
Next he reboots, BOINC starts, gone are the drivers, it appears. No detection of his GPU happening. He has even installed the AMD-APP package. Doesn't matter. This is before the reboot: 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] cc_config.xml not found - using defaults 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Starting BOINC client version 7.2.26 for windows_x86_64 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Libraries: libcurl/7.25.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.6 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Data directory: C:\ProgramData\BOINC 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Running under account RAFCIO 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] CAL: ATI GPU 0: ATI Radeon HD 5800/5900 series (Cypress/Hemlock) (CAL version 1.4.1848, 1024MB, 991MB available, 4406 GFLOPS peak) 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: ATI Radeon HD 5800/5900 series (Cypress/Hemlock) (driver version 1268.1 (VM), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1268.1), 1024MB, 991MB available, 4406 GFLOPS peak) 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] OpenCL CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9650 @ 3.00GHz (OpenCL driver vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., driver version 1268.1 (sse2), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1268.1)) 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Host name: RRSWWS02 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Processor: 4 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9650 @ 3.00GHz [Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10] 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss htt tm pni ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 syscall nx lm vmx smx tm2 pbe 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] OS: Microsoft Windows 7: Ultimate x64 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.01.7601.00) 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Memory: 8.00 GB physical, 20.00 GB virtual 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Disk: 650.00 GB total, 332.12 GB free 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Local time is UTC -7 hours 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] VirtualBox version: 4.3.0 04-Nov-2013 21:36:12 [---] Version change (7.0.64 -> 7.2.26) This is after the reboot: 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] cc_config.xml not found - using defaults 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Starting BOINC client version 7.2.26 for windows_x86_64 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Libraries: libcurl/7.25.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.6 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Data directory: C:\ProgramData\BOINC 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Running under account RAFCIO 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] OpenCL CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9650 @ 3.00GHz (OpenCL driver vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., driver version 1268.1 (sse2), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1268.1)) 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] No usable GPUs found 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] app version refers to missing GPU type ATI 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [Einstein@Home] Application uses missing ATI GPU 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [Einstein@Home] Missing coprocessor for task p2030.20130724.G47.49-01.48.N.b5s0g0.00000_2128_1 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Host name: RRSWWS02 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Processor: 4 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9650 @ 3.00GHz [Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10] 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss htt tm pni ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 syscall nx lm vmx smx tm2 pbe 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] OS: Microsoft Windows 7: Ultimate x64 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.01.7601.00) 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Memory: 8.00 GB physical, 20.00 GB virtual 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Disk: 650.00 GB total, 330.96 GB free 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] Local time is UTC -7 hours 05-Nov-2013 06:34:55 [---] VirtualBox version: 4.3.0 So go on, hints anyone? Anyone seen behaviour like this before? In the mean time I am having him run with <coproc_debug>, perhaps that that shows a clue.
