Hi,

Since installing lunatics multibeam code I am getting a lot of errors. Can someone tell me what info I should provide to help solve this problem?

Post your app_info.xml

It is probably in:
C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu\

I want to check that you installed (chose) the proper app for your CPU
AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T Processor

One other thing I noticed is that the errors seem to only be on tasks running the 6.03 Application.

One other thing I noticed is that the errors seem to only be on tasks running the 6.03 Application.

Yes, I have already seen you have errors only on CPU tasks (= 6.03 Application)
That's why I supposed you by mistake use app for Intel and not for AMD

You (try to) use:
<name>AK_v8b2_win_x64_SSE3.exe</name>
... but it exits immediately (at CPU time 0.00) with error:
Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)


This have to be:
AK_v8b2_win_SSE3_AMD.exe

Run again the Lunatics' Unified Installer (Lunatics_Win64_v0.39_setup.exe)
and choose:
"SSE3_AMD (x86, faster on sse3 AMD)"

(don't forget to choose again your other options as the app for GPU)


Another possibility is that you use 32 bit BOINC and I don't know can it run 64 bit apps (as AK_v8b2_win_x64_SSE3.exe)

As you can see the other 2 files (for AstroPulse-CPU and MultiBeam-CUDA-GPU) are 32 bit :
ap_5.05r409_SSE.exe
Lunatics_x41g_win32_cuda32.exe

(Yes, that is right - open the installer with 7-Zip to see all the included files)

Thanks for the info. Ran the installer and it seems to be working. Will check later to verify. I appreciate your help.

This evening I checked and everything is running okay, but it seems slower.
Another thing I just noticed is that the Enhanced 6.10 shows
"(0.04 CPUs + 1.00 NVIDIA GPU)" is that correct? I have 6 cores.

the 0.04 is the amount of CPU the GPU will need to get itself loaded to the GPU. This is specifically for the GPU WU. You should see 6 other WU's processing unless you didn't install the apps for the CPU

I understand, and I do see all of the processes running. My average is down around +/- 4100 now versus +/- 4700 prior to the lunatics install.

Optimized CPU Applications are about 150-200% faster than stock apps.

Optimized GPU Application have faster initialization phase
- you can see that "shorties" ("WU true angle range is : ~2.xxx") on your GPU now run for 250-300 sec and not 1000 sec as with the stock app (300-400% speedup).
- "Normal" tasks ("WU true angle range is : ~0.41") on your GPU now run 10-15% faster (1400 vs 1600 sec)


RAC do not respond (in huge steps) immediately after the changes, you have to wait the tasks to be validated before getting Credit.
Now you have Pending (193) tasks.

You have to run with no changes for at least 1-2 weeks to stabilize your RAC
RAC may have dropped slightly because you didn't process CPU tasks for a while (they errored)


You can compare the Credit per Run time (between stock and Optimized Applications) here (hurry up to look - the tasks will disappear tomorrow):
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=6202641&offset=20&show_names=0&state=3&appid=


(Don't expect the Credit per Run time to be too consistent - the "CreditNew" system (in effect for ~1 year) sometimes gives very different Credit for the same Run time by the same Application on the same computer)

in short, you were probably returning work slower than your wingman which would mean you were awarded your credit right away.

Now that you are running the optimized apps you'll most likely have to wait on your wingman to finish. Of course this depends on your cache and your wingmans. I'd give the numbers about a month to straighten themselves out. You should see your RAC actually rising soon
