I am installing the new v.38 and I have installed raistmer’s ap to data floder to
C//ProgramData/BOINC/projects/seti.Berkley.edu
And added the ap part to my app_info.xml file
And I see the ap cmdline and looks like this
<cmdline>-unroll 8 -ffa_block 6144 -ffa_block_fetch 1536 -instances_per_device 2 -hp -no_cpu_lock</cmdline>.
And from the readme file it says this

Tuning cmd line parameters:
For MB: other way round - if you experience lag or driver restarts increase
-period_iteration_num


So my question is where is the cmdline at for mb wu or where do I put the mb cmdline at in my app_info.xml file?

I notice that the cmdline is below this entry in the ap part of the app_info.xml file and I notice the other app_version entry also have thie same entry so I should put the cmdline there in the mb parts of the app_info.xml file.
<plan_class>cuda</plan_class>
<cmdline> -period_iteration_num N</cmdline> where as N is my factor

Note:

On MB cuda the commandline options are not implemented.

This only works for OpenCL apps.

Hi guys !
I gave it a try , I have installed v0.38 choosing the right OS : W7 x64 , and
the 'for ATI 4XXX and over ' part as use an ATI Radeon HD 5770 .
Now looking in the Task Manager it works for the CPU ( AMD 1100T ) but I think
that the GPU doesn't work at all. At least the GPU-Z looks so...
Should I have done anything else ?
Any ideas ???

You'll have to wait until your computer has successfully contacted the server and downloaded new work for the card - that doesn't seem to have happened yet.

The servers have been a bit sticky today, and we're about to go into maintenance any second. I think you'll have to postpone your experiments until later today/
