New AstroPulse for GPU ( ATi & NV) released (r1316)

How big influence of busy CPU can be: http://devgurus.amd.com/message/1282763#1282763

Will this be added to the lunatics app soon?

There will not be a new Lunatics installer until they release v7 for Multibeam here first.

Currently they are working on AP on beta.

You receive units in astro nvidia GPU? For me despites fair to have that checked GPU and astro v6 in my preferences ... still nothing

Yes I fixed the part about Astropulse GPU, I think ...

Your first unit got validated.

Very good times as well.

all this is the main project of Seti and not Séti beta?

You shouldn't abort all your MB Wu's just to start one single AP v6 Wu, just suspend the MB Wu's instead,

Can't say i'm impressed with your runtime, it's a lot slower than my factory overclocked GTX460 (with the same parameters), freeing a core up will improve the runtimes no end, but with increased CPU usage,

You continue to use contradicting options:

<cmdline>-instances_per_device 1 -unroll 10 -ffa_block 6144 -ffa_block_fetch 1536 -sbs 256</cmdline>
<coproc>
<type>CUDA</type>
<count>0.5</count>
</coproc>

For this new app don't use -instances_per_device:
<cmdline>-unroll 10 -ffa_block 6144 -ffa_block_fetch 1536 -sbs 256</cmdline>

... or even only:
<cmdline>-unroll 7</cmdline>


(? is it optimal for NVIDIA to use -unroll = 1/2 of the "Number of compute units: 14"?
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=2530286745
)

What happens if the two options contradict?:
-instances_per_device 1
<count>0.5</count>

Will it run only one AP task on the GPU but leave 0.5 GPU 'free' (as seen by BOINC) to run MB task (if MB also have <count>0.5</count>)?

I've installed NV r1316. I'm using client 6.10.60 under the transfer tab it's trying to dl AP6_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_NV_r1316 this file is in the Seti folder. Here's the AP part of my app info file. I haven't put anything in the ap_cmdline file at this point. I got the files from AP6_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_NV_r1316 zip

You have

<name>AP6_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_NV_r1316</name>

<name>AP6_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_NV_r1316.exe</name>

Having the following first might be a problem too:

Thanks Richard. File is no longer in transfer tab :) How ever in my message log I'm getting
SETI@home[error] State file error: missing application file AP6_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_NV_r1316 Have I missed something or is this line ok?

Thanks Claggy I've corrected this but I'm still getting 19/07/2012 8:54:02 p.m. SETI@home [error] State file error: missing application file AP6_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_NV_r1316 in message log
