I'm getting this: (0.14 CPU, 1 CUDA) and is just processing 1 task at a time. At least I want 2 or 3 tasks. I have a Quad Core processor and the NVidia 9500GT. What should I do?


Do you allow AstroPulse workunits? Are you attached to any other projects?

If you only allow SETI MultiBeam workunits, these are the only ones that can be processed by CUDA, and when you are processing MultiBeam on CUDA, the CPU cannot processes these too. AstroPulse or another project are required to make use of your other cores.

While this is true of 6.5.4, I belive that this has been fixed in the newest Alpha code.

Also, 6.5.4 is the ONLY version where the ncpus hack needs to be applied. If you do this in the NEXT version out, you will be running one too many processes.

6.4.5

at least you're consistent. ;-)

I know it has already been fixed, but I try not to discuss alpha versions in the Q&A unless I'm just trying to let them know that the bug has been fixed.
