How would I get hold of that? I can't download it from the Lunatics site unless I register...

Also, does it work in XP now? I heard mention of some sort of Perl thingy being required before using it

Hi TT.

Yeah, you have to register on the Lunatics site to download it. I did it, so what's the problem? :confused:

The rescheduler replaced the original Perl script(s) and simplifies the whole process.

Thanks

No problem with registering - it just seemed a bit pointless doing it to download one app

Pointless ?? No, I think it's worth it when Berkeley have problems - like now

This is the link to the relevant page. The file is about 75% of the way down.

Right ta, have downloaded it now

Great! Happy rescheduling!

Just run it and it's shifted all VLAR WUs from GPU to CPU. Hasn't placed any CPU WUs to my GPU though, but I have >100 GPU WUs left anyway so perhaps that's why.

It was designed to move all VLARs to the CPU as it crunches VLARs a hell of a lot faster than the GPU.

To move WU's back to the GPU, you need to untick all the boxes on the Settings Tab, then you can adjust the slider on the Main Tab to the percentage of WU's you want to move. (I've got plenty CPU WU's ATM, so mines currently set at 10%)

It won't move the VLARs back to the GPU, so they'll get crunched quickly by the CPU.

Oh, ok. Will do that after if need be.

Stuart Gibson · 4 Oct 2009 at 15:07

Glad I could help.

TheTross · 4 Oct 2009 at 15:10

Big help actually, thanks mate

Stuart Gibson · 4 Oct 2009 at 15:17

No probs.

Is it just me who never knew about this app?

I could have had the GPU's busy all night.....

Berserker · 4 Oct 2009 at 16:34

No, it isn't just you, but I don't own a suitable GPU so I guess I didn't need to know.

Me neither, going to give it a whirl now.

Happy · 4 Oct 2009 at 16:51

And the GTX 260s are busy once again

Nice one Stuart!

Hmm, I think I should've mentioned the rescheduler in the news when I first found out about it. Will do that in the next news post, as it is a very handy app.

At least we have it now

CPU tasks: 94 (8 VLAR, 0 VHAR)
GPU tasks: 0 (0 VLAR, 0 VHAR)

After reschedule:
CPU tasks: 24 (8 VLAR 0 VHAR)
GPU tasks: 70 (0 VLAR 0 VHAR)

After crunching all day I currently have:

CPU tasks: 52
GPU tasks: 462

So if I had known about it earlier, this would be nearly complete.

However, if this outage goes on much longer I will still run out of work.

Berserker · 4 Oct 2009 at 23:47

Well, stats updates can't happen obviously so we won't know the fallout for a day or two. Everyone is in the same boat though.
