Stupid noob question here, but I'm attempting to install the latest CUDA optimized apps and it seems to me that when I create an app_info.xml with the various pieces of information that come with the x41zc package, I will no longer have any app entries for the various stock CPU applications. Is there a solution for this problem, perhaps a "default" app_info.xml file that I could use? Or am I missing something entirely? |

quick answer is that it won't work. You should also install the CPU optimized apps. That will cut your run times down by about 50% In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

OK... fine by me. Where would I find them? Lunatics currently isn't available, and I don't know of any other CPU optimized apps for Windows. |

So I guess the story right now is that there AREN'T any optimized CPU apps available thanks to the Lunatics legal business? |

You can run stock CPU apps using an app_info.xml. It just falls into the "not advised" category. One issue is that the stock apps will no longer get updated from the server.</disclaimer> You would just need to add the CPU info to the current app_info.xml you have. Here is a stripped down example displaying CPU & GPU info in an app_info.xml. <app_info> <app> <name>setiathome_enhanced</name> </app> <file_info> <name>stock_cpu_app.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>setiathome_enhanced</app_name> <version_num>603</version_num> <platform>windows_x86_64</platform> <file_ref> <file_name>stock_cpu_app.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <app> <name>setiathome_enhanced</name> </app> <file_info> <name>Lunatics_x41g_win32_cuda32.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>cudart32_32_16.dll</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>cufft32_32_16.dll</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>setiathome_enhanced</app_name> <version_num>610</version_num> <platform>windows_x86_64</platform> <plan_class>cuda</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>0.040000</avg_ncpus> <max_ncpus>0.040000</max_ncpus> <coproc> <type>CUDA</type> <count>1</count> </coproc> <file_ref> <file_name>Lunatics_x41g_win32_cuda32.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>cudart32_32_16.dll</file_name> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>cufft32_32_16.dll</file_name> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

One issue is that the stock apps will no longer get updated from the server.</disclaimer> I also noticed there was no cpu app specified in the mbcuda.aistub file for cuda 4.2. I'm running seti 6.10.60. Can I leave the AK_v8b2_win_x64_SSE3.exe and the appropriate entries in app_info from Lunatics_Win64_v0.40 and continue using the optimized cpu tasks and also are you saying that with the x41zc I won't receive any cpu apps from the seti server?
