My 1 AP unit is now at 15%, 24 hours down, up to 57h 48m to complete. So its doing about 7% every 12 hours.

Real world estimate : 160 Hours... 24 down... 136 to go :-(

Figured out how to test AP builds standalone yet JD?

Sorry, I haven't even looked at the code yet, busy on another project.

Had a couple of AP WU's error out because the .exe and .dll files that I downloaded were the wrong size or something.

Fixed that yesterday (reworked the app_info and redownloaded files direct from Berkeley), and now have 3 WU in the queue, and 1 WU that started this morning.

On my Q6600 running about 3.0 MHZ, after 4 hrs of run time (11%), that AP WU says it will be done in 14 more hours...

Hmmm, second AP WU just started on another core. Machine is split between PrimeGrid and SETI.

On my Q6600 running about 3.0 MHZ, after 4 hrs of run time (11%), that AP WU says it will be done in 14 more hours...

My Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz takes ~34 hours on each of the first 2 crunched.
Other Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz is taking ~36 hours on its first AP WU.

Strange, maybe just like seti_enhanced have "short" units, AP have shorties too. I recieved this and my Core2Duo worked 5:30 hours claiming credit 98.8...

That Wu looks to me like it's just noisy, so it bailed out early, after finding 30 pulses. Similar to a -9 on multibeam WUs, I think.

Looks like you ran into this...

Found 30 single pulses and 30 repeating pulses, exiting.

Not necessarily a shortie per se. Just that it hit the threshold and stopped. Almost like a noisy wu in MB.

Thanks for explanation. I thought that if AP unit have more data than SH unit, then it have more space to store signals...

40 hours on Q6600. The result is valid and awaiting for my wingmate somewher in the future - he is running some kind of laptop as his stats shows T2050 at 1.6 GHz. The good thing is that he is running stock apps and will probably return a valid result too.

To add to all the Q6600 reports in this thread, I wanted to mention I have a Q6600 running at the default 2.4 ghz, no overclocking... and have received two Astropulse WUs at this point:

The first one started out estimating around 40 hours, but perhaps due to a lot of Half-Life 2 episodes 1+2 playing between late 20080803 (when a core started crunching that WU) and early 20080805 (when that core completed crunching the 1st AP WU), it ended up being more like 45-48 hours total.

The second AP WU arrived yesterday, 20080807, and has been estimating around 42-45 hours (I think BOINC learned the initial 40 hours on the first one was a bit under, circumstantial factors aside):

21:48 elapsed currently (~48%)
22:56 estimated to completion

Been playing Half-Life: Source and HL2 Ep 2 during some of those first 20ish hours. Though I'd like to think that the original HL is not taxing my CPU too much. Still, I kinda wish the one core of my Quadcore CPU that's handling Astropulse instead of regular ol' vanilla SAH WUs... would always be the "#4" core, i.e. the one that programs that don't ask for more than 1 or 2 cores never touch. If Quadcores + Windows + programs not optimised for more than 2 cores actually work together that way, of course.

Either way, I presume that my indulgence in Valve games while leaving BOINC running normally is only slowing down Astropulse by no more than ~10% per WU, it seems. And the game performance is fine thanks to NVIDIA's lil' 8800 GPU handling the gaming while the Quadcore handles the SETI@homing. Huzzah!

[Edited to add: Just noticed in the pending credit for my account, the AP WU I did from the 3rd to the 5th is listed at 719.06 credits. I just read through like 4 threads about AP, so I can't remember if it was this same one or another, but people were discussing credit coming down from like 1800 to 680ish or something for AP, and this 719 amount looks pretty consistent with the latter]

I just noticed that I now have a 3rd AP WU, This PC(1) is going Astro-nuts and It's crunchin them all. :D

My Dell is still a ways away from starting its first AP unit, but it has 4 of them in cache now.

The iMac is at 56% after running 45 hours so I am guesstimating about 80 hours for it.

---

I've got one core on the Q6600 crunching Astro, the other three crunching MB using AK 8.0.

So far, so good.

Unfortunately, between the server problems, credit adjustment, and Astropulse, my RAC is in free fall. Only getting about 700 credits for 44 hours of AP crunching will make for ugly stats.

Join the PACK!

My 1 AP unit is now at 15%, 24 hours down, up to 57h 48m to complete. So its doing about 7% every 12 hours.

Real world estimate : 160 Hours... 24 down... 136 to go :-(

Well, its about 10 hours later, 34 hours down, 21.1%, 56h 30m to go. So now the time is starting to go down. :-)

7:30:00 and counting down until My 1st AP WU is sent in(23:49:56 so far), Oh yes. Say are these Astros added to our Seti@Home credits?

There are NO credits for crunching Astropulse. So, are they added to S@H... It doesn't matter when they grant 0 credits?

I've got an answer to that, I hope, An upgrade on My swamp cooler to permit the 3.52GHz to come back and then there's PC2 and It's QX6700ES(3.37GHz was the previous high speed overclock w/a P5W DH Deluxe[dead]) cpu with Its P5K Deluxe motherboard, All It needs is for a psu from OCZ as I just had one returned under RMA, Now I have 2 P5K Deluxe motherboards, Sounds like the terrible twins.

AP Validator is not running currently right now, so it will be at least next week before they get anything figured out.

Yes, I read elsewhere that someone showed ~700 credits claimed on a completed AP WU, and yet the granted credits were 0. My 1st one, which my client crunched from the 3rd to the 5th as I mentioned a day or two ago... is still pending due to the other person who has it still not having finished it, hence:

claimed granted
719.06 pending

But anyway, even if we don't get credit immediately, we'll get credit eventually, so don't sweat the small stuff.

The main thing bothering me is that... since the upload server has issues from time to time, and can go down completely like it has part of the 8th, all of the 9th, and so far all of the 10th... why isn't the download server allowed to send us new regular SAH (or AP) WUs anyway. I realise I've got like 9 SAH and 1 AP (yep, my 2nd AP WU has been done for over a day now... and for the record, it took exactly 44:41:11... very nice number) WUs waiting to upload, and the download server probably doesn't want me "taking on more than my CPU can handle," but I would think the stats on my computer that BOINC knows well by now, after 2+ months of crunching with this box... would allow it to see that this is not a client-side issue, and let me crunch. Once the upload server will allow me to upload, all of that baggage will be out of the way, and all of a sudden, my client will be requesting 80,000 seconds of work again. But not now, even though NOTHING IS DIFFERENT on my side of the electronic divide.

As it is, for 36 hours, all this box has been doing is 50% capacity 2 AP WU crunching (thankfully, I received AP WU #4 shortly after #3, later that day I posted before).

But that's 2 CPU cores occupied for a day and a half and the other 2... idle as hell. Oh well. Glad I'm not at 0%, at least. But I will be soon, once AP WU's #3 + #4 complete.
