Well, perhaps there is some new OpenCL build i'm not aware of. AFAICT there is no such app as "HD4".

Nitpicking.
On Mikes download page MB7_r2033, is called "Seti V7 for HD4".


I should change that.
Its just not HD5.

Nah, I'm going to hit the ground at high velocity with this useless parachute. The only sound you will hear is "SPLAT".


Will it be more like a "TOMATO-SPLAT" or like a "PUMPKIN-SPLAT"?

I hate to be a spoilsport, or something similar, but you can see where this is going;



On another note, did you see how many channels are loaded?
total channels to do: MB 770 AP 160
By my rough calculations, we are probably going to be without APs for around 8-9 days waiting for those 700 MB channels to burn off. During that period, I expect to see all sorts of problems trying to keep the MB ready to send above Zero.
This should be interesting...

Message 1492249 - Posted: 20 Mar 2014, 21:51:11 UTC

Well i can only chime in that i noticed this early on.
This is quote from me in our team forum 254 Days ago..


"Well now it's confirmed that running AP on CPU also gives credit boost.
It's a 3930K machine with HT turned off (Yes it still sucks too much to be useful) and is running Lunatics 0,41 optimised executables.

On one of my hosts i'm running s@h7 and ap6 in parallell and compares credit/second on the cpu..

A AP WU ~ 0,041 - 0,043 credits/cpu second
A S@H7 WU ~ 0,019 - 0,021 credits/cpu second

So by only adjusting that our primary tasks are AP tasks and tick the "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?" box.
That would make our boxes out there try to download AP's first of all. I didn't Think i would see the light of the day that i tried to encourage you to run AP here in GPUUG but as their now creditnew invention goes on"

Notice that i'm Writing CPU second and not GPU so even the CPUs got more credits doing AP tasks.

This is a shame and should be addressed and fixed asap in my opinion! I mean how hard can it be to adjust the earning (credit) parameters of MB7 up to atleast AP levels. MB6 is of the charts anyhow so they don't even need to try to match it to older multibeam.

I hope you land soft Sten! Thanks for bringing this topic up that has been going on since around June last year.

Kind regards Vyper

This discrepancy in credit has been documented by more crunchers that I can count; every cruncher's GPU and CPU gets less cobblestones for MB that AP. With the tweaking that can be done on AP as opposed to MB WU the difference will vary but it will be significant. Look at the hosts, they are all gaining with the recent AP feast. Sorry you are on a diet OP.

For reasons that may not become apparent Sten-Arne has decided to remove his name, picture and flag.

Earlier on he was "Nobody".
