Not going well lately with the ATI app for AP v6.
Over the past couple of days, I've seen the time the ATI GPU uses on the APs increase, now even so much that the default app on an i5-2500 CPU is faster than the r555 app on my ATI HD6850. I'll be shutting it down, if at least that one AP that's been going at it for the past 17 hours (!!) will ever finish.

The last long one:

ATM my average for them is around 5.75hrs

Mine is with the 331_AVX app, on average 5.55 hours. The person running with the default app and 59,600 seconds, has a locked 2500. Not sure if that makes a difference, with Turbo Boost and all.

This was my last AP on ATI for the moment.

OK, so maybe it was a long one (although, it was paired against an OCed i3-540), but still... I have the sneaking suspicion that CUDA does this better. (Nothing against the Builders of the Apps!) :-)

I'm wondering when the wisdom.dat file is created in the projects folder and what creates it?

Due to a receent change of motherboard and a re-install of Win7 to be able to install SP1, I had the boinc data dir backed up.

Now it includes a wisdom.dat file and I dont know if its updated at all or if once genearated it is static.

If its static once generated can it be deleted in order to create another uptodate file, or can an update be forced?

Cliff,
Been there, Done that, Still no damm T shirt!

You can just delete it.
The app will create a new one.

[Can something be better if it just doesn't exits ;)

About your issue with ATI AP task - please, report blanking % also cause completion times strongly depend on this param.

Also, you could met ATi GPU low usage problem we see time to time.

In general, this issue can be solved by suspending/restarting GPU processing.

GPU-Z and similar programs will show something like ~68% or even less GPU usage even running 3 A/MB tasks simultaneously. After restart usage can return to ~100% again.

I finally got my first 10 <10% blanked non-30/30 tasks to validate. It took 44 tasks to get those 10. Since reaching 10, I have not received any new APs due to no fresh tapes.

Along the way though, the ETA has adjusted itself from the original 209 or 219 hours down to about 94, so a 10-day cache now consists of the three that are running plus 4-5 "ready to start."

I should start getting tons of APs once some new tapes get loaded and start splitting though.

The new tasks should come in with ETA around 9.4 hours since the APR limiting is still at ten times whatever <flops> the host is sending. You might end up with about 25 tasks per core with a 10 day cache setting if the supply is good enough. But then the first one completed will boost DCF to compensate.

The ten times limit is probably going to be raised to fifty times next Tuesday, at which point new tasks will have ETAs of roughly 6.5 hours, the ~45 GFLOPS indicated by APR will actually be used. The cache could possibly get up to more than 25 days of actual run time before one of those completes and boosts DCF again. Probably not, and for your host the limit of 50 tasks per CPU may be slightly less than 25 days runtime anyhow. Still, if it were my system I'd shorten the cache settings somewhat at least until everything finally stabilizes.
