The ATIOpenCL application needs at least 490MB memory free on the videocard. BOINC will at startup state how much memory the card has and how much it detects is free. If this value is under 490MB, tasks will err as the FFT setup cannot continue. (source post by Oliver).

OK, but that doesn't seem to

Message 78718 in response to message 78717

OK, but that doesn't seem to be my problem according to the BOINC Messages tab:

2/3/2012 10:33:22 PM||ATI GPU 0: ATI Radeon HD 4600 series (R730) (CAL version 1.4.1664, 1024MB, 992MB available, 1024 GFLOPS peak)

Are there any other reasons that this message could come about?

Try a reboot of the system. It's possible something else is stuck in the GPU's memory. Only a full power recycle can fix that.

BOINC only checks on start-up how much memory there is available, it can't do that at any time afterwards. I'm not sure if the science app can do it either. Oliver?

You do seem to be having the drivers bug, where BOINC shows half the memory of what's available. Apparently you have a 1024MB GPU, but it shows only 512MB with 992MB available. That's a bug in the drivers. Nothing we can do to fix that, that's something ATI should fix.

I tried running a 1.21

I tried running a 1.21 workunit as well to see if anything was different, but to no avail.

Message 78721 in response to message 78720

I tried rebooting as well with all of the projects of this machine paused. I then resumed Albert, so nothing else had a chance to take up memory beforehand. I got the same results, so apparently that wasn't it. Is there anything else that I could possibly try to get it rolling?

@Mikie: Something to check

@Mikie:

Something to check to get BRP-OpenCL working for you:

0] Select all A@H tasks, suspend them.

1] Stop BOINC & don't run anything else

2] Check your environment variable TEMP (TMP), clean up that folder (sort by date, delete old files, etc.)

3] CHKDSK your HDD

4] Turn off Aero

5] Restart and run BOINC

6] Click on an A@H task that wasn't running previously, resume it (to ensure it's a fresh slot)

I'm running Cat-12.1, 5850 (standard, 1GB), Win7-64, a free core dedicated to A@H running task.

Hope it's working for you.
