I just checked my results and it showed 32 AP tasks with the message "error while computing". I traced it to my desktop which has 2 processors. Both are running seti tasks. In addition there is a huge AP file (163+ hrs) running on my GPU for a few minutes before it errors. I was told that my GPU was too old (something about cal?) and couldn't be used. Should I go into my preferences and just disable the GPU? |

I guess this should have gone in GPU applications section, sorry. |

Should I go into my preferences and just disable the GPU? Yes There are problems with this app for older GPUs (this app is known as CAL/Brook/Hybrid) Even if they fix the app the amount of GPU memory (256MB) may be a problem. And even if everything will work OK only ~20% of the GPU will be used (by design) (the rest 80% of the computations will be on the CPU) Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

I'm still getting tasks and errors for my desktop's GPU. I thought I had it stopped, but guess I need a little help doing so. How do I stop it? |

I just went in to the activity drop down and suspended GPU. Will that be enough? |

Use ATI GPU no http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project This will stop getting new tasks for ATI (remember to enable it again if you change the GPU) Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |
