Hi there,

I've been running BOINC 6.4.x with AK_v8_win_SSE3x.exe and ap_5.00r103_SSE3.exe and ap_5.03r112_SSE3.exe. I just bought a new Nvidia 9600 GT, upgraded to BOINC 6.6.20, and would love to add CUDA crunching to the mix.

Do I need to modify app_info.xml for it to pick up CUDA? If so, can anyone point me toward what code needs to be added to the XML file?

Thanks! This is what it currently looks like:

<app_info>
    <app>
        <name>setiathome_enhanced</name>
    </app>
    <file_info>

You may want to read through this thread http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=52589 It's grown somewhat long but it will get you set up.
