	Anyone know what is going on with these so far returned AP 6.01 tasks? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=2371339987 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=2371081282 I used the Lunatics 0.40 installer and everything seemed to go all right with the other apps. Is there some part of the installer that didn't get put in for the AstroPulse 6.01 tasks? Keith ____________

Is there some part of the installer that didn't get put in for the AstroPulse 6.01 tasks? Keith Raistmer's r555 running on your AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T, and failing after 4-6 hours? I don't think we saw anything like that in testing. Interesting (and different) error messages in both cases - I'll ask him to take a look. You'll probably want to suspend the other 8 AP_v6 tasks you have in progress while he investigates (provided you have enough other work to occupy your CPUs - otherwise, let them run, as the additional output could help diagnosis).

	Thanks for the quick response Richard. I think I will suspend the AP 6.01 tasks until I here different. I have plenty of other work. The beta NV AP 5.05 app is still returning good results. On that note ...... is this app ever going to make it out of beta? Keith ____________

	Something else that may possibly be useful for diagnosis is to make a copy of those WUs and see if they do the same thing in stand-alone mode outside of BOINC. Just a suggestion. ____________ Linux laptop uptime: 1484d 22h 42m Ended due to UPS failure, found 14 hours after the fact

	Richard, my mistake using the installer. I thought I had properly toggled the radio button for the AMD app. But after comparing the correctly running app on the first computer, noticed the other one had installed the Intel app. I just redid the installer and checked the app_info and see that it has the correct AMD app now. Sorry, for the panic. Keith ____________

	Not sure how to do that exactly. Guess you turn off network communications and run through the task without letting it report? Keith ____________

	if you want to go back ... in the system tray look for the boinc icon, right click and choose exit , should get a box and be sure to have checked : Stop running science applications when exiting the manager.. and then reinstall the 0.39 be sure to have a close look on the programs you choose to install (the installer should delete your old app_info and make a new one) and then restart your Manager from start menu or you can wait an expert :) i guess nothing can be worst. ____________

	Should have been more explicit. Meant how to run the AP6.01 tasks offline. I don't need to backlevel the Lunatics app since the errored tasks were caused by a mistake in setup. Just have to deal with the problem of errored tasks and resends always caused by my inevitable typo in modifying app_info and then dumping my cache. Another question. Are the AP6.01 tasks very different from the AP5.05 ones? Are they doing a lot more science? I was wondering why their completion times are so much longer than AP5.05 tasks. Looks like it will take quite a bit of time to build up 10 completed tasks in order to generate a APR that I can then use to input a valid FLOPS the application. Keith ____________

	No AP 6.01 is not much different. The calcultion is done different and outlier detection added but both apps r555 and r557 are definetly faster than r409. On my machine ~35% - 45%. ____________

	Keeping tasks for offline runs: look into you project dir and copy the tasks to someplace else. If we have the task links, we can grab the task from the server, but with the line that saturated... Offline runs of suspect tasks are best done by somebody else and not on the affected host. Not that I think something is wrong wioth the task itself. Completion times should actually be faster than r409. Another indication something is wrong. For the umptiest time: the NVidia OpenCL app will make it out of beta and into the installer, when it doesn't hog a CPU core on last generation drivers. ____________ I'm not the Pope.

	Avx takes 15-16 hours on my FX-8150. Thats significantly faster than the SSE or is it SSE2. It appears to be about 20-40K faster than the stock app on an i7 860 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=953354362 ____________ Proud member of TSWB. End terrorism by building a school

	I noticed that there a couple of new files in the Seti directory after the installer finished. First there is something called a "wisdom" file. Second, there is a dll called libfftw3f-3 that I don't remember being there from the 0.39 installer. I wonder if the issue with the failed AP6.01 tasks was that this file wasn't loaded. If I remember generally, you don't load a .DLL file until you reboot Windows, which I did not do, I just stopped BOINC, ran the installer and restarted BOINC. I didn't see any mention of rebooting Windows after the install in the release notes. Maybe I was supposed to reboot as a general principle. I decided to restart the suspended AP6.01 tasks to see if they would properly complete. I seem to have successfully finished one task with a couple of other failed. The failed ones might have been worked on before I rebooted Windows and maybe the .DLL issue was to blame. I don't see any improvement in completion times with AP6.01 app compared to the old 5.05 app. I completed the successful task in about 50K seconds, right about where AP5.05 tasks finished with the Lunatics CPU app from the 0.39 installer. I will continue to crunch AP6.01 tasks unless I start seeing every task failing. Cheers, Keith ____________

	The libfftw DLL is static/built-in to the optimized AP apps, but I guess it is still included/there as a back-up? ____________ Linux laptop uptime: 1484d 22h 42m Ended due to UPS failure, found 14 hours after the fact

	The libfftw DLL is static/built-in to the optimized AP apps, but I guess it is still included/there as a back-up? r555 has dynamic linkage vs FFTW. So FFTW DLL isrequired for it to operate properly. For GPU builds too. Linkage was changed in my builds to reflect multicore nature of today PCs. Shared via DLL code can reside in common cache. Also, it will use less memory. Will these effects affect performance and in what degree - not known currently.

If I remember generally, you don't load a .DLL file until you reboot Windows... No, that only applies if you're updating previous DLLs which are being used by an application or process which can't be be stopped - and that usually means only core Windows components. Because we can (and do) stop both BOINC and the science applications when the installer runs, we'll never need you to reboot Windows just for Lunatics. You may be confusing program installation with Windows Update, which does need to work on core components.

	The wisdom file is generated by the app - something to do with picking the best fft out of the lib. Up to now it was generated in the slot directory. Not having to generate it because you can get one from the projet dir saves some time. ____________ I'm not the Pope. I don't speak Ex Cathedra!
