On July 16th, I installed the Lunatics v0.38 on two machines, one an i5-750 with an Radeon 4870 (RV770) GPU, and on an Intel E7500 CPU witn an Radeon 2600 (RV630). All is well on the 4870 machine, RAC has doubled.

On the 2600 unit, apart from a small initial hiccup, when I installed the 64 bit version on a 32 bit OS, it has run fine for about a week. However in the last 2-3 days I have not received any optimized work for the GPU.

Would that be just a lack of work for this type of GPU (non-capable OPENCL), or couldit be something else?

Thanks

The work units are the exact same no matter which ATI/Nvidia GPU is doing them.

The Hybrid r453 app doesn't look any faster on your system than the CPU r409 app, just a bit less CPU usage,

Yes it is not much faster, but the RAC did increase from just over 1,000 to 1,300+., which is what I was expecting to see.[/quote]

On further investigation, of the total of 1797 "in progress" WU on all crunchers, I only have 3 AP units left; 2 CPU and 1 GPU, all on my main cruncher, which gets 85% of all the work. So it seams I haven't been getting any new AP WU's for several days now. So it appears there is a slowdown in the production of AP WU's. Anyone else see this.

Yeah there hasn't been a lot of AP work for a while now. The machines that I have set to do AP work only have about 20-25 or so to chew on. right now not a lot of new APs are being generated and those that are get snatched up fast.

Raistmer's AP-OpenCL is just too popular... and just too fast! :)

Depends whether participants prefer to do what work they get efficiently and not have work sometimes, or they'd prefer to keep everything hot at all times. Because a "tape" file only produces one AP WU for every ~40 MB WUs, there will certainly be periods when AP tasks are not available. It would be nice if there were enough donations to expand the project capabilities, of course.

I've been lucky and have had AP tasks for the HD 2600 XT on my host 6018558 most of the time in the last week or so. Before that I was concentrating on SETI Beta.

I didn't think the 2600 was capable of running the r453. I thought it was only capable of using the hybrid app.

ap_5.06_x86_win_SSE_BROOK_NO_DOUBLE_r453.exe is the full name of the hybrid application in the 0.38 installer, and indeed that's what my 2600 is running.
