Good news the Berkeley servers started the distribution of guppi work unit on CUDA NVIDIA GPU.

I don't want to believe, I want to know!

I got some of these into my cache last night on both systems. :-)

Was just checking my machines before I went to bed and watched one blow through 7 consecutive MESSIER031 tasks in 41 seconds.

The interesting thing of the overflows is that the result are not simple spikes but triplets.

Yeah, high triplets count, but also spikes in the same WU's.

I have a relatively high number of inconclusives on these tasks. All my inconclusive GPU tasks overflow with 30 triplets, but the wingmen for these tasks (CPU) report a high number of triplets (typically 25 or 26) and also a number of spikes.
Anyone else notice this ?

I experience the exact same, though most of mine are still pending.
It's the same on both Lunatics and stock GPU tasks.

The same here and I'm now wondering what sort of mess these are going cause.

Cheers.

Most probably it's the result of current validator weakness in overflowed tasks comparison. It relates to only CPU-like sequential style of task processing. But overflows report only part of all signals inside data, so, depend from processing order. Seems CUDA build affected too (and I expect even greater effect on SoG builds).
With Arecibo data where overflows were early ones and mostly on spikes there were attempts to simulate serial order of execution on early processing stages, where overflow most probably. This apparently doesn't help a lot with new types of overflows we seeing with GBT data.

Until validator will account for different processing order possibility such inconclusives (and some of them will even turn into invalids later though relatively small part) are unavoidable.

Except for the possible overflows, are triplets and their respective scores perhaps a better indicator than a similar gaussian score?

Indicator of what?

Sorry about that, Raistmer.

But perhaps I should have said "intelligent signal" instead, rather than mentioning either triplets or gaussians.

Please have me excused, but I was rapped for messing up with the discussion about possible driver errors and overflows being associated with such tasks.

Therefore I am not doing such type of business anymore.

Things are definitely working here and if something should ever come up, I rather will believe it to be true.

You know, Seti@home is among other things dealing with the numbers related to the processing of data coming from space.

We divide these data into signal types when next being processed in lakc of somthing better or maybe else.

If a triplet or a gaussian is of no scientific value, who are then supposed to be doing the science?

The living world could be filled with conspiracies and lies and therefore you should rather believe in science fiction rather than the face of the man in the Moon.

As far as I know, the possible detection of an intelligent signal coming from space is by means of the data that are being processed by the Seti@home client and the scores which are being obtained for the different signal types.

You may well be a believer of extraterrestrial intelligence, but the subject of UFO's or aliens is not supposed to be the same as the processing of data we are currently are doing, at least not all the time.

Make it space or time travel if you will, or even rocket or jet engines for that matter. If you still wish to detect an intelligent signal from the errors the client may be able to produce at times, you are welcome, but doing such a thing does not necessarily give a better explanation for the world or even Universe we happen to be a part of.

This is why I am still here.
