I did try to search forums and questions but didn't found answer.

So I need current Linux Astropulse Nvidia GPU app_info.xml and necessary files to process AP.

For this host

Is that correct that current stock app is "optimized" app?

Yep, but that is not GPU app and app_info.

Found this: http://lunatics.kwsn.info/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=485

But it hasn't got app_info -example

@WezH

I am using the stock AP application for Linux+Nvidia. Here is the app_info.xml file that works for me. This is not the entire app_info but just the block to insert before, or after, other app_info blocks pertaining to MB and v8 applications whether they are CPU or GPU based.

 
    <app>
      <name>astropulse_v7</name>
    </app>
    <file_info>
      <name>astropulse_7.08_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__opencl_nvidia_100</name>
      <executable/>
    </file_info>
    <app_version>
      <app_name>astropulse_v7</app_name>
      <version_num>708</version_num>
      <platform>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</platform>
      <avg_ncpus>1.0</avg_ncpus>
      <max_ncpus>1.0</max_ncpus>
      <plan_class>opencl_nvidia_100</plan_class>
      <coproc>
        <type>NVIDIA</type>
        <count>1.0</count>
      </coproc>
      <file_ref>
        <file_name>astropulse_7.08_x86_64-pc-linuxgnu__opencl_nvidia_100
          </file_name>
        <main_program/>
      </file_ref>
    </app_version>


Take note of the <max_ncpus> and <avg_ncpus> parameters. I have set them for "1" but you have a more capable system than I have and may benefit from a better choice. Once you have a working app_info you can experiment with other values.

If you choose to use the Lunatics optimized application then the app_info file will differ. I used their app back in AP v6 days. The obvious differences are the <file_name> and <version_num>. I think there's a "README" file somewhere on the lunatics.kwsn.info site that has example .xml files.
