Missed this one. It's on! MarkRBright and Skywalker TSBT representing!

Glad someone is paying attention
If I remember correctly this is a team green gpu effort?

I think older AMD gpus will work. Not sure which ones will. I've heard a rumor there's a way to get newer AMD gpus to work though. Will let you know if it pans out.

[Dirk Broer]

I think older AMD gpus will work.

I know THAT for sure

I just added Moo! Wrapper to a system with a HD 7970 and R9 270, set preferences to include ATI GPUs and it downloaded and is running them. But warning! The R9 270 temp shot up to 80C and the 7970 was running close to 70C. I had to downclock the core and memory of the R9 270 by almost 50% to get it to run under 70C. I also downclocked the 7970 a little to make sure it stayed below 70C.

Less than 19 minutes on a downclocked 7970 and it pays 6,584. I'm in!

Actually, it looks like Moo! Wrapper now favors red gpus :)

BTW, I'm running the 13.251.0.0 driver from CCC 13.12.

TSBT is up to 8th of 14 and I predict we'll do even better :pirate:

[Silver]

I seem to have driver/open cl issues, I'll have another look when I've got a bit more time

[Alez]

Moo Wrapper was always hit and miss on GPU/ driver configurations and also ( unless fixed ) had huge issues runninig multiple GPU's. As I'm away not going to attempt as too difficult to get all running without access.
Might be worth a how to if peeps get it running stable as I know they were doing a lot of work on the app after the massive problems getting the 7970 to play with the wrapper.
There should be info on how we did it on earlier challenge threads but I would imagine that they are quite out of date as this one hasn't been run for a while.
Remember that an droid version is available as well :)

[scole of TSBT]

I did nothing special. Just running CCC 13.12 which has Open CL 1.2

Something odd going on with the challenge stats. I've crunched over 1.2 mil in the past 24 hours but it's not showing. I noticed my stats showing up, then disappearing on and off yesterday. Is this how you're treated after donating to BOINCstats?

No stats after the first 8 hours are showing up.

Seems to be corrected, please continue trashing

TSBT up to 4th of 14.

Individual standings...

alez [ TSBT's Pirate ] 77th

Again, Moo! Wrapper is now owned by AMD GPUs. I'm running CCC 13.12 with the OpenCL 1.2 driver

Ironically, could not get it to launch a WU on a system with a GTX 960 and GTX 780 running the 347.88 driver.

[Alez]

Could be the same issue as paul is having on the nVidia ?

My position is totally down to picking up the odd droid unit

[Silver]

I've never managed to get any droid work from moo and one of themshould be set to look for work.
More investigation required all round on the moo front I think.

[scole of TSBT]

Dunno what the difference is.

Sabroe_SMC has one rig with this and it's knocking them down...AMD Hawaii (8192MB) OpenCL: 2.0. He has more Tahiti and Hawaii GPUs than an AMD warehouse.

Sabroe_SMC has 'only' two boxen in the top-20.
A certain EG from the Ars Technica team has four, including the complete top-3. EG's three top rigs have 4 GPUs each....
Then there's Potoo&Defo from the Czech National Team with four boxen in the top-20 (4, 9, 15 &16) and
Whizbang from Ars Technica (6, 7, 8 &11), also with four boxen.

Well done all. :salute:

This finished just in time. The gpus were starting to glow red.

[Silver]

Well done boys, an impressive performance by a small number :headbang:
