Hi

As you can see at the image below:



GPU-Z says that my ATI HD4650 card is opencl compatible but Boinc doesn't detect as opencl card.

From this link:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing

we can see:

"ATI GPUs: you need a platform based on the AMD R600 or AMD R700 GPU or later. R600 GPUs are found on ATI Radeon HD2400, HD2600, HD2900 and HD3800 graphics board. R700 GPUs are found on HD4350 to HD4890 graphics boards"

ATI HD4650 is opencl 1.0 compatible.


Any idea how can I solve this issue?

ATI HD4650 is opencl 1.0 compatible.

No, it has OpenCL 1.0 beta support at best. And isn't very fast by today's standards. You can also only use it on one or two projects where the requirements aren't that high, and even then you're burning quite a lot of electricity for not much output.

In any case, when BOINC cannot detect OpenCL, it's due to the drivers that you use.
You can use Catalyst version 11.12 at minimum and 12.1 at maximum, after that OpenCL support is deprecated from the drivers for Windows XP.
I do see you're using 12.1 already. If any other videocard was installed in this system before you put this one in, its drivers or remnants thereof can interfere. Fully uninstalling drivers, then running a cleaning tool (like Display Driver Uninstall) before rebooting and installing the videocard drivers again, then rebooting again. That may help.

But perhaps it's cheaper to look for a different videocard with a more powerful GPU. Depends on whether that motherboard has a PCIe slot.

You are right.

The computer was working before mounting HD4650 with S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR built-in motherboard graphic card.

I run display driver uninstall but it only uninstall the lastest ATI driver installed.

How can I uninstall S3 drivers?

Probably via the Add/Remove Programs menu.

Hi.

I return to the integrated S3 graphic card via BIOS options. Then I see the asociated files to the S3 driver and uninstall
the driver and delete its files.

Reboot de computer and now the information show about the display is "Standard VGA adapter". Well, unisntalled.

Return via BIOs options to the AGP bus display and install the Catalyst 12.1 agp hotfix drivers.

BOINC continues to be unable to detect any OpenCL GPUs.

I think it's a bug and this gpu isn't into the gpu list code.

Or maybe it's possible to force BOINc to compute with it via xml config files.....

One of those is for the GPU and the other one is for CPU. The driver claims to support cl_amd_device_attribute_query OpenCL extension but when BOINC goes and tries to use the extension to get more information about the OpenCL device the driver claims it has no idea what BOINC is talking about. I'm a bit surprised that such an old driver supposedly knows about cl_amd_device_attribute_query.

Until such time that BOINC doesn't require AMD drivers to tell the truth I think your only option is to use an older BOINC version that doesn't use cl_amd_device_attribute_query. BOINC 7.4.42 should work better on your host.

Hi again.

I follow your indications.

Hi. With the AMD Catalyst 12.1 drivers (AMD SDK 2.6) looks like all is working fine.



But the registry logs shows that computation isn't running fine.



Any idea?

Work related questions are best asked at the project forums, as that's where the project application developers live and post.

If you have RAC > 1 you could post in the Number Crunching forum, but seeing your account @Seti you do not. So then post in their GPU Applications forum. Whoever helps you out there (may be me) can then always ask one of the developers to come take a look.

Although I highly suspect it is the age of the GPU, and it not being able to run the correct workgroup size - which is 128 for your GPU and needs to be, if I am not mistaken, 256 or more. You cannot increase the workgroup size without replacing the hardware.
Added to that, the BLC Guppi tasks at Seti take up more memory than the 'normal' Multibeam, it may be that the 512MB on the card is just not enough. Having returned to an earlier BOINC version, you also returned to the earlier non-informative messages. In later BOINC versions it shows why the work is postponed. [/url]
