@ PaulDHarris

It's not easy to tell..

But I saw you have the cc_config.xml with 9 CPUs?
This is no longer needed with BOINC V6.6.20 .


Your app_info.xml is looking similar to this?

@Sutaru Tsureku
OK thanks I will remove it.

I did a CUDA WU yesterday. I do not seem to be getting much CUDA unless I run standard app and when I run the V10 Raistmer's app I do not get any CUDA. Is it the spliters?

@ PaulDHarris

If you use Raistmer's CUDA app, then errors are wanted for VLAR-WUs.

BTW.
With this app_info.xml thread.. you can use Raistmer's CUDA app also.
Only the .._CUDA_...exe and the three .dll's.

Have a look here:

I am running an i7 920 not oced on Vista Ultimate 64bit.
At pressent I am running a 32bit ap_5.03r112_sse3.exe,and a
32 bit MB_6.08_mod_CUDA_V10.exe both by Raistmer.
The cuda takes 10mins on my BFG gtx275, and an AP takes around 20hrs on the
cpu times 8 of course.
Question: Are there other apps that would return better results?
The apps work ok and the rac is up to 10k+ at the moment having done 250k.
Any advice welcomed. I have around 80k in the Pending McGuffin for this rig.

Dave

You already have your apps optimized. the only other thing to do is to try and OC your machine

Not so sure on how to do it.
I have a Gigabyte x58ud5 with the facility but will it be worth it?
I only have the stock i7 cooling fan and the cpu runs at around 60degs c.
Should I get another cooling fan first?

{Edit} Just a thought would an ssse3 instead of sse3 app work any better on the i7.

---

{Edit} Just a thought would an ssse3 instead of sse3 app work any better on the i7.

Probably yes, but only MB available in SSSE3 flavor, not AP for now. Try to use latest CUDA BM build. It has speed improvement versus V10 one.

Hi Raistmer
Where would I find latest CUDA BM build?
I have noticed a 20sec or so delay before Cuda starts to process is this cured?

Just to be sure, you didn't actually put 3.2 in did you? The 'G' means billions, so the entry should have been

If you entered 3.2, the Scheduler wouldn't send any work since doing only 3.2 floating point operations per second wouldn't complete even a 'shorty' before the host dies. :-)

I guess Raistmer made a mix with MB and BM..

The latest app - which I posted already in my upper post http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=52212&nowrap=true#889802 Message 889802 - you can find here:

The CUDA task must prepared on the CPU and will be send then to the GPU.

This is at my rig ~ 12 - 13 sec.

Hope your rig is running well now. :-)

@Sutaru Tsureku
Yeah I have it running on my 2000AS instead of XP. I installed 6.6.20 and Raistmer's V10 app still not getting any CUDA work though and I give up on CUDA and all it does is AP WUs. So I am back to where I started. I wanted to do some CUDA but that seems impossible I have tried everthing. The only way I can get CUDA is if I run standard app and it will do CUDA and AP but the AP takes 100 hours to do a WU so I run Raistmer's app and do AP WU in about 18 hours more or less and it does not do any CUDA. Who knows why?

@ Raistmer
Is this the same build like:
MB_6.08_mod_CUDA_V11_NoPerfLog.rar from your earlier release?

It's last available to public build. Some additional improvement achieved since then but mostly for VLAR area.Not worth new build though. Work in progress.

@ PaulDHarris

Hmm.. 'strange'..

If you do AP in ~ 100 hours.. then it's without opt. app, or?


If you followed the 'manual' of the app_info thread and used the last recommended CUDA app and .dll's of Raistmer..
Normally you must get CUDA WUs.


You had/have 'checked' GPU usage in your preferences?


@ Raistmer

The last time you published:
MB_6.08_mod_CUDA_V11_AffinityLock_NoPerfLog.rar
MB_6.08_mod_CUDA_V11_NoPerfLog.rar
MB_6.08_mod_CUDA_V11_NoPerfLog_NoVLARKill.rar

So this new build with new VLAR limit is similar to MB_6.08_mod_CUDA_V11_NoPerfLog.rar?
..without affinity?
So well for > 1 GPU? ;-)

Just curious.. what mean NoPerfLog?

Thanks.
