and the reverse is true, ATI app gets good credit when compared to all CPU application. i think there is a BUG... |

I CAN block V7... So take that doc! You are correct. Anybody can pick and choose the work they wish to do with their preference settings. If you do not wish to get v7 work, leave your v7 box unchecked. That will leave you v6 resends while they are still remaining, and AP. Of course, AP work has the credit problem at the moment too, until it starts to recover as some predict it will start to eventually. And I am sure that Eric is still assessing things and will probably continue to make a few corrections and adjustments during the coming week. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

so what is the purpose of V7, just to half our credit and provide a longer work unit. code base is the same, one would think the science hasn't changed... |

so what is the purpose of V7, just to half our credit and provide a longer work unit. code base is the same, one would think the science hasn't changed... Not so. From a post by Joe Segur in my rollout thread. "Maybe this is the correct thread to ask this question. The auto correlation increases the sensitivity for weak signals by how many db?" "None. Autocorrelation is a search for a different type of signal, where the transmission is the combination of an original signal combined with a delayed copy of the same signal. Such a combination would be a good indication of intelligent intent given a significant delay. Joe" "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

MB v7 tasks are being assigned shockingly low credit scores (like 30%-50% of what v6 was giving on average). The app_config file you have here , would it work ( as it is ) on a quad core CPU and a GTX 460 SE GPU ? I'm not running any AP's at all Just V7 WU's .... |

The app_config file you have here , would it work ( as it is ) on a quad core CPU and a GTX 460 SE GPU ? I'm not running any AP's at all Just V7 WU's .... It would work, but I'd make a couple of changes: in the v7 section: <cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>I'd reduce the value to .06, you don't need to reserve that much cpu time. I'd also omit the v6 section entirely unless you want to crunch the resends. Probably won't get any at all after the installer becomes available. I'd keep the astropulse section in there in case you want to run it someday. <max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>I'd set the limit lower than 6, I use 2. The gpu usage value of .5 will give you 2 at a time which is probably right for your gpu. Another Fred Support SETI@home when you search the Web with GoodSearch or shop online with GoodShop. |

Looks okay - save it in the SETI project directory. BOINC mgr. has a menu option on the advanced tab to "read config file", so you don't even have to restart BOINC. Another Fred Support SETI@home when you search the Web with GoodSearch or shop online with GoodShop. |

Ok I saved it in the Seti Project dir... It shows to be here : C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu\App_config.xml Still only running 1 GPU task at a time...

I will take the CAP A off the app_config and then retry it , maybe that is the problem. |

I have 2 GPU WU's running at a time now , I had to take all caps out of the File name and out of the file it's self , The cpu use is still only 0.0261 instead of the 0.06 the config file had for it... I don't understand NOTHING anymore .. ( not that I ever did anyway ) |

It might change if you stop boinc and restart it. Mine said it was using 1 gpu for each task before i restarted boinc |

Mine said it was using 1 gpu for each task before i restarted boinc Hey , That worked , using 0.06 cpu per gpu now... although this was about the 3rd time I restarted boinc , to get it to do that...

Mine has taken a dive. My question is though where is the best place to find out about optimizing a GPU. I have an Nvidia GTX550Ti. It only does one work unit at a time. I am running a quad core with 3 cores on Seti and the GPU. Any help greatly appreciated. Thx. |
