Thank's perryjay I have noticed that my times are similar to other i7's. Would there be any advantage going to an ssse3 app instead of the sse3? I have seen that the sse3 seems to be prefered? Just noticed RAC of 30k thats a first. |

Dave, the ssse3 should give you a bit of a performance boost but I can't say exactly how much. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

OK thanks I will give it a try can't do any harm I Hope, touch wood. I can always go back to sse3. Cheers |

Just been looking and came to that conclusion. Thank's |

This thread is too valueable to be lost in the archives - I see others have been looking for it so.... BUMP^ |

Very timely. The optimised Windows applications for Astropulse v505 have just been posted at Lunatics. Look for 'rev 168' for the new v505 compatible applications: the download packages also still contain r112 applications so you can help finish off the remnants of the previous run. A full multi-coloured announcement will no doubt follow when we can find Gecko_R7 (he's the only one with a key to the paint-spray closet ;-) ). From what I've been able to read so far (not been successful in snagging a v505 on the main project yet myself), those running CUDA should put in the same flops value for v505/r168 as they did for v503/r112. I think this is a mistake by the project: the new stock application is considerably faster than the old stock application, so the estimates should have been changed - but for the time being, work with what you've got. |

As there is no SETI@home preference for v505 yet, does download of ap505 WUs rely on having 'If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?' selected or are they reusing the Astropulse option?

(when there are some being sent out of course....) Not possible. The preference depends on the same ID in the database as what's listed on the Applications page. v5 and v505 are different applications, and since the preference for v505 has not yet been added the 'If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?' will be needed.

(when there are some being sent out of course....) Thanks Joe. I have that option ticked. I had them all ticked but have changed it temporarily to not include MB to see if I could get a 505. Seems like they are splitting a few more tonight although the current tape seems to have a lot of bad data. I'm guessing the network is maxed out again - nothing much moving at all although I did pick up a few 503 resends earlier. I assume they aren't actually creating any new 503s now? Run only the selected applications SETI@home Enhanced: no Astropulse: yes Astropulse v5: yes If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? yes Use Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) if available yes Use Central Processing Unit (CPU) yes GPU Users Group |

Will this 505 app be also included in the opti app. installer? BR, |

Will this 505 app be also included in the opti app. installer? In due course, but it's not ready yet. Jason reckoned it should take at most a week from now. |

If tapes are being split as the server status shows,then why is is that even though I have all the boxes ticked to accept any work I am getting the Project has no jobs message.I was sent 1000 Cuda the other day but the schedular is not running them it is doing 2 Aqua cuda tasks that have a deadline of 2 months. Are the tasks being sent to hosts that are nearer the server because thier pings are shorter? Been like this for a couple of weeks. |

I've borked my app_info file :-( I downloaded the new AP v5.05 package from Lunatics and pasted their app_info into my existing one. It was a straight paste and i was getting errors on starting the client so I did a little bit of trimming. When I start the client I get the following errors [error] State file error: bad application name astropulse [error] State file error: duplicate app version: astropulse_v5 windows_intelx86 503 My app_info is as follows <app_info> <app> <name>astropulse_v5</name> </app> <file_info> <name>ap_5.03r112_SSE3.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>astropulse_v5</app_name> <version_num>503</version_num> <file_ref> <file_name>ap_5.03r112_SSE3.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <app> <name>astropulse_v505</name> </app> <file_info> <name>ap_5.05r168_SSE3.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>astropulse_v505</app_name> <version_num>505</version_num> <file_ref> <file_name>ap_5.05r168_SSE3.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <app_version> <app_name>astropulse</app_name> <version_num>500</version_num> <flops>6743308755.375</flops> <file_ref> <file_name>ap_5.00r103_SSE3.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <app> <name>astropulse_v5</name> </app> <file_info> <name>ap_5.03r112_SSE3.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>astropulse_v5</app_name> <version_num>503</version_num> <flops>7792267895.1</flops> <file_ref> <file_name>ap_5.03r112_SSE3.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <app> <name>setiathome_enhanced</name> </app> <file_info> <name>AK_v8_win_SSSE3x.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>setiathome_6.08_windows_intelx86__cuda.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>cudart.dll</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>cufft.dll</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>setiathome_enhanced</app_name> <version_num>603</version_num> <platform>windows_intelx86</platform> <flops>5244795698.625</flops> <file_ref> <file_name>AK_v8_win_SSSE3x.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <app_version> <app_name>setiathome_enhanced</app_name> <version_num>608</version_num> <platform>windows_intelx86</platform> <avg_ncpus>0.05</avg_ncpus> <max_ncpus>0.05</max_ncpus> <flops>2800000000</flops> <plan_class>cuda</plan_class> <file_ref> <file_name>setiathome_6.08_windows_intelx86__cuda.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>cudart.dll</file_name> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>cufft.dll</file_name> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll</file_name> </file_ref> <coproc> <type>CUDA</type> <count>1</count> </coproc> </app_version> </app_info> XML is NOT my forte, Can someone please tell me what's wrong ?

[error] State file error: bad application name astropulse You have two AstroPulse v5 sections: one at the beginning and one after v505. Remove the section in red and it should work. |

Good morning peoples. 5.20 am in the UK here, posting a question quickly before I go to work in the hope it'll be answered before I get home. I'm currently running 2 systems. A Ph. II 955 with Boinc 6.6.36 and Raistmer's v9 opp apps, and a Ph. 9850 with the lunatics unified installer, again with Boinc 6.6.36. Both machines run cuda too, the 955 with a 9800GTX+, the 9850 with an 8600 GTS. The 9850, in asking for work yesterday failed on downloading a v505 astropulse saying that it didn't have the correct info in app_info, whereas the 955 doesn't even ask for such work. I am currently running down the work on the 955 so that I can change over to the unified installer on this machine too. It's much easier than doing it manually. I had success setting up Raistmer's opp app on one machine, on the other I couldn't get it to work, so went with the unified installer. Go figure... Has the v505 been optimized yet, and if it has, how can I add the information to my app_info to start doing the new work units? I'm happy to add it to both machines but I don't want to add it, then change it in a couple of weeks when an optimized app comes out if it's not been done yet. Any info or help will be greatly appreciated. [edit] I've seen the app_info in Ozz's previous post, would a cut and paste with the correct section be sufficient? [/edit] Regards, Gizbar.
