Ugh, that sounds horrible Fred. No not that kind of bug in AKv8b ;). Something like that would be noticed already. It's a minor computational logic issue that could cause inconclusives sometimes. That sounds more like a nuclear malware meltdown.

There's likely to be an updated installer very soon (within a week or so), Mostly for a minor bug fix in the CPU apps, so you might want to hang tight for that.

Hi Jason,

Does it add V7 multi-beam support for CPU? Or is it just a fix for the AKv8 app?

It is a fix for a bug found in the AKv8 code.

I experienced serious problems, with 2 (SEAGATE 500 MByte HDD's), reïnstalled
a new (SAMSUNG HD503SB; 500GByte; SATA II), for ther O.S.(WINDOWS 7;64bit)
and 2 data drives (HD103SJ); 1 TByte, also a 1 TByte USB 3.0 back-up disk.
(Also installed the so called: ReadyBoost, which works, if you (can) use a
fast (>133MByte/s) SD card.

Isn't the AKv8 code also used in the consecutive installers, except v.0.38g?
I stopped running SETI ATI-GPU, rev.177 and rev.365 for MB. and rev.521 for
AstroPulse. Except 2 HardDrives gave out, work lost, Back-Up on USB3 Disk made a mess off it, couldn't even install on the C: drive ?! Maybe this entrance in WinREG: (K:/BOINC_DATA & K:/BOINC_Program, was still present?)

It clearly interfered with memory, (HDD/CASHE) and CPU
usage, but far more memory-use, for example Rosetta@home, 725MByte RAM
is used for 1 WU (Mini-Rosetta)

I now use, besides 8GByte DDR 3 1600 DRAM, a 8GByte ReadyBoostCache
which works, if you use the fastest 8GByte SD cards, >266MB/s, is necessary.
Going to install SETI@home on this rig, again, Optimized for ATI GPU and CPU,
too, ofcoarse.
Also Resume Bêta testing/trying out on FERMIs and ATI(AMD)

Well, I'll wait for the new Installer, then..............?!

Thanks, I will probably keep checking for the updates. I am happy with my RAB but I think I can improve it some more without having to resort to buying a new PC!

As I know, there aren't any other optimised apps...

OK guys and gals, what is the best optimiser for the current version of SETI@Home. I am looking to help increase my output without false positives and I would like some advice on what you consider to be the best and easiest to use.

I was considering using the optimisers from the Lunatics website. http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php

Anyway let me know what you think :)
