I have not been getting any AP wu's lately and my cue has only one left, crunching six at this time. Has anyone else had problems receiving AP units lately? Will my six cores crunch seti enhanced units if the AP runs dry? Thanks. |

Will my six cores crunch seti enhanced units if the AP runs dry? Depends on: 1) Your SETI@home preferences: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project Are all the options at the bottom of page set to yes?: SETI@home Enhanced: yes Astropulse v5: yes (irrelevant/obsolete) Astropulse v5.05: yes If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? yes 2) Since you are running anonymous platform it depends also on what apps you have in your app_info.xml  - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)  |

They are all yes and I will find out about app_info.xml pretty soon. Hope it works. Thank you |

See this message in the HE Connect Problems thread. They let the AP splitters run dry so they could test the new router memory. Should be more AP tasks available later today (Saturday 10/22). Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

See this message in the HE Connect Problems thread. AP splitting started back up Friday already. But it is going out about as fast as it is being split, so not all work requests for AP are going to get WUs allocated. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

See this message in the HE Connect Problems thread. That's what happens when I don't check in for a day or two, and then don't look at the message date stamp. (8{) Yes, as the MB splitters finish a file (they take longer than the AP splitters), we'll see more new data files for the AP splitters to work through. Patience, as usual.....

I´m getting APs constantly even i´m hitting the limits. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Looking forward to that. One of my machines is getting them already, but the cuda is still waiting. |

Looking forward to that. One of my machines is getting them already, but the cuda is still waiting. I wouldn´t run APs on your Phenom Miklos. I would rather run them on your 460 would be more efficient. My host is normally above 22000 RAC without those limits and hiccups. And your 460 is a little faster than my 5850.

How would I do that Mike? |

Mike wrote:I wouldn´t run APs on your Phenom Miklos. Thanks Joe. If you decide to try r521 i suggest following settings for your 460. <cmdline>-ffa_block 8192 -ffa_block_fetch 2048 -unroll 10 -instances_per_device 2</cmdline> <count>0.5</count> That will run 2 units a time and should be most efficient on your card.

Miklos, I suggest you drop the NVidia driver to below 270.x unless you really want to test how excessively the CPU core grabbed by the GPU under newer drivers is actually used. |

I am sorry guys, but you lost me in the technical language. |

I pulled 12 today...since I'm now doing Astropulse only I'm thrilled. |

I am sorry guys, but you lost me in the technical language. You have upgraded the graphics driver to 270.61 With that and newer drivers the OpenCL applications show excessive CPU usage. That may or may not be 'real' usage but nobody has up to now tested whether throughput on CPU suffers and to what extent. I suggest you downgrade your graphic driver to 266.xx if you want to run OpenCL applications such as the r521 AP for NVidia beta. Installing a beta app requires manual editing of app_info.xml. If you do not wish to do that I personally would recommend upgrading to 280.xx driver. Yes, I know, the 285.xx is out, but nobody has thoroughly checked performance yet. |

Thank you. If I do neither, will I still get ap units when they become available again? On another note, my computer is definitely running cooler and quieter, now that it is crunching only one ap(got last night). I guess 5 cores sleeping will do that? |
