New AstroPulse applications for GPUs.

the ver 7 and above (or what ever ver 7 tried many times, this LT is 100% OK) on yours dl page does not even start at all on this LapTop. So I am tied to version 6.smth. I have tried everything and you can bet your moneys

...

So question:
Is there anyone who can take those improvements to working 6 ver or could someone who is coding now those 7 versions take a second look onto their codes.

This is annoying situation the Boinc-manager shouts everyday to update to the never version, or did it you say: "should update!"

You should really try the Questions and Answers forum for all trouble-shooting related questions. I am willing to bet my money against yours that you have not tried everything, and that there is no way this is due to a code bug in BOINC v7, but likely an issue specific to your computer's configuration.

Sorry man, but did you mean Opengl, not Opencl?

In this very thread I already addressed that question in message 1269250:

No, OpenGL is a graphics library or API designed to be cross-platform to aid in graphics-related apps (CAD, virtual reality, games, screen savers).

OpenCL, the correct term, is an API that is designed to assist or allow running standard applications on the GPU via a common programming language regardless of the hardware underneath (i.e. an OpenCL application can be executed on any GPU that supports the OpenCL standard as long as an OpenCL compatible driver is loaded).

Wow, you're even too wordy here.

NOTE TO ALL: openCL (C as in sea).

Thank you.

Good day. ;)

I would think that as a Professor you would appreciate clarity through information (i.e. "wordy") than to simply correct someone without an explanation. I hope you don't teach like you post.

This is not a teaching situation.
Provide the info first.
Then, if needed, follow up.

Hello everyone, this is a friendly reminder to stay on the original topic. The New AstroPulse applications for GPUs. Thank you.

With the new applications the ap tasks will be don by the devices that crunch them best. Leaving the cpu's to do the MB tasks and MB .VLAR tasks which they do best.
This is good.

If you want to go to anonymous platform and can't get familiar with Lunatics installer then it's better to write in this http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=67407 or this http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=68675 thread.
This one about so called stock app that doesn't require to be downloaded by user, it will be downloaded automatically as long as host meets requirements.

Astropulse 6.04 for ATI/AMD OpenCL on BOINC 6.XX has been released.

I've seen this on plenty of projects. It's related to the fudge factor used to estimate the time remaining. The change in direction occurs because without an estimate of completion (i think they call those checkpoints), the BOINC client only has elapsed time as an indication of progress.

It isn't an issue and everything is working as it should. If you want to see weird estimates, try Primegrid. My record is an initial estimate of 5,500 hours for a task that took 80 hours. Oh the days I've spent watching that estimate drop minutes for seconds....

I think he was asking (as I am) if we're already running the Lunatics platform, should we just stick with it or revert to the official platform so that it updates to the new optimized one? And will Lunatics continue to be updated in parallel with the official one?

I will have a look at those other two threads but as this one is directly linked from the Notices entry in the BOINC client it would be good to have the info here.

The first App works fine, but has a bugg in it. When the work file first startes the time remaing column counts down as it should. As soon as the Percent done column starts counting, then the Time remaining column starts to count upwards for several minutes before it releases. When the happens the original time is still slowly incrementing upwards. Let's say there is 1 hr. and 15 min. left to process. The 15 min will increment for 2 to 3 minutes and then release and the original 15 minutes will now be 16 minutes left. Please take a look at this issue, since the program otherwise works fine. I used to spend 30 to 40 hours on a AstroPulse 6 file which is tedious and a waste of resources. Now it takes 1 hr. and 14 min to 3.5 hours to complete the task. Good work who ever did this App.
