I'm going to add a new application which will be used to test new app versions and platforms/plan classes.

It will run it's own mini batches of test work and once the tests are done and finished with success, the test app / app version / platform will be reassigned to standard workunits.

Test app will have it's own checkbox in project preferences and it will be reset to off for everyone on each app version change.

First app versions that will be tested soon are:
- OpenCL/ATI version of GPU app.
- Linux version of CUDA app.

I'm not sure when it will be released but my early estimate is somewhere around end of this week.

Will it work on Intel GPUs (with openCL) as well?

The last version I tried didn't work on Intel GPUs - I've encountered lots of driver related issues and barely could run very short workunit without the app or driver crashing. Also the system was lagging so much I could barely move mouse pointer.
At this point it's probably going to be ATI only.

I have a GTX 970 on Linux that is ready to download test GPU work when it's ready for testing.

Understandable and thanks. There are problems with Intel drivers across different projects and it may not worth the time to clear all of them.

hi,
when will the new gpu applications be available ?

I've just finished adding in on the server but there are no workunits yet.

I've just finished adding in on the server but there are no workunits yet.

I see units available to send but the are not sending. No CUDA tasks either.

I had to change app weights in the server configuration. With the weight set too low the feeder didn't even touch ATI tasks for some reason. Now it started sending them out as I see numbers raising in the server_status.

For the next few days there will be limited number of opencl test tasks as I'd like to check the app for any possible errors.

Yea similar results here with my ATI 7970. http://www.enigmaathome.net/result.php?resultid=284045264

The host involved is a mixed rig. IE: Has both ATI/AMD & Nvidia GPU's in the same box
http://www.enigmaathome.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=116253

There was a problem with translating --device to -d and parsing it inside the app.
I think it is fixed in 1.02 release because I've just seen a first completed and validated task.

Completed and validated Thanks.

Hi, I have a number of similar errors:
GPU is a Sapphire r9 270x 4G D5 on Win 7 64bit

Anything I can do to get these tasks running for you?

Actually 1 WU out of 38 completed successfully. Anyone able to assist me please?

I received my first task, at last !! Great but...
Impossible to complete, my low end AMD AM1 (154GFLOPS) would spend 10-12 hours to complete but if I switch off or suspend computer, the task is restarting from 0% , no memory in disk about % completed every moment. Sad

Actually, the task does not start from 0%.
The app writes it's own checkpoints but the wrapper and BOINC manager do not know about this, so they report a fresh start. Eventually the task will finish, as long as the app has enough time to checkpoint between restarts.
There are plans to update the wrapper to read the current progress, or at some point the BOINC API will be built in into the app.

The plan for this weekend is that 1.03 OpenCL Windows app will be moved from Enigma Test and merged with CUDA app as Enigma GPU.
CUDA & OpenCL Linux v1.00 apps will be added to Enigma Test, just to verify that they're working.

I have just released 1.05 AMD OpenCL GPU test app for 64bit Linux platform.

---

M4 Project homepage
M4 Project wiki

Cuda app for 64 bit Linux is also available for testing.
1.06 cuda test app uses the same code as 1.10 main app.
1.05 opencl/amd uses matszpk's optimized asm code, once the test are done it'll replace the standard app.
