The unroll might be to high for your host.

Try the following.

-use_sleep -unroll 6 -oclfft_plan 256 16 256 -ffa_block 2830 -ffa_block_fetch 2830 -tune 1 64 4 1 -tune 2 64 4 1

Finnish a few tasks so i can check it later.

Ok, cmd-line options are in place, running

<app>
<name>astropulse_v7</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>

Let's see, using this host as I normally do.

What I did understand from readme was that -unroll will increase applications GPU memory consumption.

EDIT: First one to run with these parameters: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=3879941524. Not looking fast, running 27 minutes and 32% done.

First i need to see how app behaves.
We will increase unroll step by step.

As soon this task finnished successfully increase unroll to 8.
But only unroll please.

OK Mike, I will do it.

And: Thank You.

WezH, how is your memory config? Single or Dual-Channel setup (aka 1x 2GB or 2x 1GB MemModule)?

Hey Mike, maybe you know the answer to this while we're on the topic of configuring GPUs. I asked what commands I should use for a GT 730 here:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=75996&postid=1618100

Is processing one task optimal? My 550 Ti does two fastest.

It's the newer 730 with specs as on far right:

Thanks

I need to know how many CU`s the 730 has.
One instance on this card should be faster.

Hey Wez,

Sorry been gone all day, my day off so almost never online. Saw Mike is here, best person to help you. Hope it all gets sorted out.

Something to start with.
-use_sleep -unroll 4 -oclfft_plan 256 16 512.
Maybe some further tuning possible.
But i want to see a few results first.

I'll try that. It is going in the i3 2100 machine if you're wondering. What is -use_sleep for?

It reduces CPU usage.

Do you think my 550 Ti machine is doing ok as well? I've haven't tinkered with it in a while. One core on an E6600 is free and the 550 Ti crunches two tasks.

I believe it's using this:

-unroll 10 -ffa_block 6144 -ffa_block_fetch 1536 -hp

Are those settings still current? The -oclFFT_plan switch is new to me. Could that be added? And finally, does ffa_block and fetch not apply to the 730?

Thanks for all your help, Mike.

Unroll 8 has been working over night, but runtimes are still high.

What I should try next?

Now increase unroll to 10.
But only change unroll again.

It could do better.
First you are suffering from high CPU usage, this requires -use_sleep switch.
-oclfft_plan is a new method to optimze fft kernel planning.
Read the read me`s.

Try

-use_sleep -unroll 10 -oclfft_plan 256 16 256 -ffa_block 2830 -ffa_block_fetch 2830 -tune 1 64 4 1 -tune 2 64 4 1.
Maybe unroll 12 is possible on the 550Ti.

On the 730 ffa_block values wont give much improvement.
We can still add it after you finnished a couple units.
