Oh, ok. TF=GPU only.

Exclude this project.
Why should I have to Exclude.
SRBase should exclude GTX 980 for TFs. I've seen other projects exclude work for certain projects. I got other projects that still work with the GTX 980.
Also why I'm I only getting TF from SRBase? I've got all projects selected. Are the other projects exclude for running GTX 1080 and 980s? If so then SRBase can exclude TF from GTX 980. TF still run ok on GTX 1080s.
Sorry but I'm not here to do work arounds. Not my job.

While the Remaing time and task kept going.
This may give a clue on something strang but if the admin would take a look of my results and find out why or if it's causing issues.
Took 5 mins to finish.
Only did it on the GTX 980.

4) Message boards : Number crunching : 2 GPUs, 2 tasks on one card, not utilizing gpu 1, (Message 8593)
Posted 30 Dec 2022 by Sandman192
Do you mean to exclude the other devices for SRBase to run only on device 0?

For one you're asking the wrong question.
I don't want to exclude any devices. But you keep telling us to exclude all but 1 device to get your TF projects to play somewhat nice.

Forgot to mention, if someone did run the TF projects on an 8 GPU server, I believe that the project would run 8 TF projects on 1 GPU at the same time and leaving the rest not running any project OR just run only one TF GPU project and the rest of other projects. Again 1 TF out of 8 GPUs. Note: there are some computers that can run up to 8 GPUs (not just serves). Again only 1 GPU TF on anyone with more than 1 GPU on their computer.

I can speak for all of us when I say, "we want to run the same amount of TF projects that we have of GPUs". Exp: 2 GPUs, we should run 2 TF projects, One for each GPU. Or one TF project on ANY GPU and run whatever project BOINC wants to run on the other GPU". Oh, wait BOINC does that on every project out there like, Prime Grid, GPU Grid, Amicable Numbers, Einstein, ext. Even all of SRBase. Well, for some reason NOT for TF projects.

TF is the only project I can see runs to project at the same time on the same GPU and leaving the other GPU not doing anything.
BOINC is showing TF on device 0 and second TF on device 1. The device 1 is showing false device 1.

People are trying to tell you that there is a problem with you TF project assigning GPUs to their respective devices. And it just baffles all of us and only you should listen to people complaining about a problem with your TF projects and you're not getting it that you need to fix it.


Well, I'm just not going to run any TF projects until you fix it. I'm not even going into the config files just to have it only run 1 TF at a time.

Posted 30 Dec 2022 by Sandman192
I like how the TF out of all projects SRBase products (not just this SRBase GPU project that you can find on BOINC) is the ONLY 1 project problem to get it to run on more than 1 GPU on the same computer. This is NOT a BOINC problem.

I've seen servers that can handle 8 GPUs BUT if you want to run 8 TF projects for each GPU (not 1 project for 8 GPUs) which should run with no problems.

This has been reported in Mar 2021 and the "administrator/developer" thanks that there is NO problem/bug and that we should never run TF on more than 1 GPU for some reason and just edit a config file just to turn OFF all other GPUs for TF.

When does anyone have to go into config file just to disable any GPUs!?

I got a message to use "Run test applications" for "R88_250-300k for a double check for Sierpinski / Riesel Base app" from BOINC message tab.

Oct 16 is when it started, and it didn't last long.

SRBase TF 0.12 is now running on Device 1 for me.
It's running more than one GPU at a time.👍

Posted 25 Jul 2022 by Sandman192
I don't have app_data.xml anywhere in the BOINC data folder.


Forgot my last statement, try this:

<cc_config> <options> <exclude_gpu> <url>http://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/</url> <type>ATI</type> <device_num>1</device_num> <app>TF</app> </exclude_gpu> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config>

Exclude srbase. How does that make the project, work on GPU 'device 1'?
This just told the TF work not to try to run 'device 1'.
Plus, that's just for ATIs.
Is it going to get fixed or just do a work around?

The second card should be running on Device 1 for another project, if not post your app_config here

Should run on device 1. But it doesn't. I'm running 2 SRBase TF and only showing 1 GPU utilized.

12) Message boards : Number crunching : 2 GPUs, 2 tasks on one card, not utilizing gpu 1, (Message 8320)
Posted 18 Jul 2022 by Sandman192
The apps are not running on Multi-GPU, only on device 0, see FAQ for more infos.


I got the same problem and the same answer.

rebirther we know it's not Multi-GPU and you're not helping with the problem.
We are running 2 projects that are both SRBase and BOINC assigning each to a GPU. SRBase is ignoring BOINC commands to run 2nd 'GPU - Device 1' and possibly 2, 3 ext.
But what SRBase is doing is running 2 GPU projects on the same GPU. That's not Multi-GPUing.
Running one project for 2 or more GPUs is Multi-GPU.
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Running 2 projects but only 1 GPU running. (Message 8318)
Posted 18 Jul 2022 by Sandman192
I have 2 GPUs, 1080 Ti (Device 0) and 980 (Device 1).
This is only happening on SRBace projects. I have other GPU projects that are running 1 project per GPU.
I see the GPU % on Task Manger. When running 2 SRBace projects at once, all I see is one GPU at 100% (Device 0) and the other at 0% (Device 1). Plus, I know (Device 1 is not running because the temps are at 46c, which should be around 80c.
Both projects % are going up. Which leads me that both projects are running on the same GPU, which is (Device 0).
