1) Message boards : Generalized Fermat Prime Search : Mac ATI apps temporarily turned off (Message 78421)
Posted 3227 days ago by Profile OdicinProject donor
[quote]Both of my ATI equipped macs (old iMac & new Mac Pro) are erroring out on all GFN GPU tasks :-(

http://www.primegrid.com/results.php?hostid=113925

Is your other GPU double precision? The error message you're getting is "no GPU". I think you'll get that error if there's no double precision GPU available.

As a side note, it seems we have a problem with Linux and Mac builds. When an error like this is detected, it's supposed to wait an hour before reporting the error. That prevents a single computer from trashing thousands of tasks. The delay seems to be broken. We'll fix that part.

But there's nothing we can do about it not running on Single Precision GPUs. Right now, it won't work on FirePro either, but it's unclear whether that can be fixed.


The HD 4850 should have DP. In past (on windows side), I had a lot of trouble with the ati drivers and the opencl support for the old Radeon 4XXX series. AMD dropped the support some years ago and the legacy driver is horrible. The only stable driver with opencl on my side was an old release of 2010 or 2011. But I don't know, how this is in mac world ;)

GFN262144: INFO: Test for 1100680^262144+1 was ignored. Your application and/or prpclient is obsolete and MUST be upgraded


Are you running an old version of PRPNet or Genefer? Or is something broken?


I also got this message with the latest 5.3.1 prpnet client on this server. On my side this message occurs, when I got the maxerror by the gpu and commented out all cpu executables in prpnet.ini. I think the server handles this "false" message because of the reported roundofferr reside by the client.

Having a curious problem on one of my clients with the new version:

Running 4 Tasks, 2 on CPU (all is fine) and 2 on GPU with geneferopencl. One GPU running on gpuaffinity=0 in prpclient.ini, the other on gpuaffinity=1. But one of the gpu tasks is problematic with the new prpclient, the other have no problems:

But I did not have a lresults.txt, also not in the other gpu directory where all is running fine.

Also at this time, i got an entry in memleak.txt:

Any ideas?

@dancer42: I meant cards with chipset RV6XX, not the type model of Radeon. The HD5XXX or HD6XXX of the Radeon cards have at least the RV8XX chipset, that's why it is no problem to run them with opencl.

The smallest Radeon with RV710 chipset is the Radeon HD4350. So all Radeons HD3XXX and Radeon HD42XX will not run run with opencl.

You need at least RV7XX Chipset to run with Opencl. Cards with RV6XX chipset have no OpenCL capabilities and no driver will bring this to them. I tried this 2 years ago.

Meanwhile Collatz Conjecture is the only boinc project which supports these old RV6XX Cards with there Ati Stream App.

There are also several other PG users ahead of me in the race for that dubious distinction.


Nice Idea... Well, I'm taking place four in the race up on the way to place three ;)

I believe that to run that series card with OpenCL apps you will need to run a catalyst driver somewhere in the 11.7 to 11.10 range (It has been a long time since I crunched with my HD4670, so anyone please correct me if I am wrong on this range).


Up to 12.4 worked with my HD 4670.

But SSE2 could be the problem. The old AMD processor did not support SSE2, only SSE. I must check if there's even a sse2 processor for socket 462 boards available.


Confirmed. New test system: Asrock Combo-Z with Athlon64 2800+ and the same AMD HD4670. Installation of AMD Catalyst 12.2 AGP Edition with APP running fine, all tested OpenCL projects (PPSSieve, POEM, Distrrtgen) running without problems.
