Personnaly I'd wait till Monday or so and use the installer.

Just my 2 Eurocents.



What will happen then? And where can I find the installer on monday?

Monday is ETA for the Lunatics installer. Available from Lunatics and announce though the usual channels.

You may want to play with the ffa settings to get more GPu load I think. Ati isn't my area of expertise.



Will Lunatics installer also be available for win OS? It look like it's only for Linux.. Maybe I am wrong?

Hello again:-)

Now it runs at 100% when i'm using enhanced 6.10 (ati13ati)

Before I was running astropuls_v6..

Anyway I am happy right now :-)

Thanks for the link spitfire_mk_2!

But I'm still not happy with my GPU load... The load is the same when I run one WU or three! (30-65%) What parameter can I change that with?

And I am using 6 of 8 cores on the cpu.

Here is my app_info.xml using Lunatics_Win64.

Thanks for your reply!

But what I really want to know is how my app_info.xml should look like on the stock application?

Just to use more the one WU on each GPU, and still running WU's on the CPU.

I have been using app_info.xml one time before when I was running Milkyway on my GPU only, and it worked great!

It's looks like this:

<app_info>

<app>
<name>milkyway</name>
</app>

<file_info>
<name>milkyway_separation_1.02_windows_x86_64__opencl_amd_ati.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>

<app_version>
<app_name>milkyway</app_name>
<version_num>102</version_num>
<flops>1.0e11</flops>
<avg_ncpus>0.05</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
<plan_class>ati14ati</plan_class>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>0.5</count>
</coproc>
<cmdline></cmdline>
<file_ref>
<file_name>milkyway_separation_1.02_windows_x86_64__opencl_amd_ati.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

</app_info>

So if someone have an working app_info.xml for both CPU/GPU please share!

Thanks

Hello everyone!

My question is how can I run my dual AMD 6950 with TWO work units on each card, plus I also want to run at maximum on my CPU.

Any good and easy suggestion would be much appreciated!
