I hereby bless you as another saint of kitties....bow down and take you anointment.

Although they are abundant, some do not get the fact that kitties are one of God's creations, not to be disposed of at a whim. I believe that their little lives are in every way as special and as worthy of care as yours and mine.
Every single one of them.

That is why I meow after almost all of my posts.

Meow.

+ Many. A total of 4 feral rescues warming themselves on my rigs, plus another 3 spay/neuter/releases living outside.

And just to keep this on topic -- I have one AP. My CPU is working on it like a chihuahua eating an elephant. [Edit] Never mind. -Finally- completed. :)

Really? Is Astropulse so rare? I have picked up 72 since July 3rd. What is the attraction? That is actually a serious question. I don't know much (or anything?) about the WUs.

Much more Credit per WU on AP than MB... :-) So, because of the AP shortage, we've all become greedy little AP hoarders when they are sent out. ;-)

Ap is a different analysis of the same data than MB and some of us think it may have a better chance of finding ET, also they do pay more credit per hr than MB.

Personally I like AP on my faster machines over MB so they can have more then a few hours of CPU cache. On my i5-4670K's 100 MB tasks running 4 at a time comes to about 20 hours worth of work.

It also gives a good boost to our RAC. My RAC is the highest it has been in a long time

A question,

All the AP WUs I have crunched rcently as OpenCK_NVIDIA_100, seem to be doing most of the work on the CPU, not the GPU, 75%+ CPU usage when they finish.

I'm wondering what I've done wrong, or is this normal?

Happy Crunching,

Graham

That is normal to stock AP tasks.

Installing Lunatics Optimized Applications will give You options to edit AP task settings so You can decrease CPU usage.

Stock can do that too, no need to install the Lunatics Optimised Applications just to do that.

Claggy

Cause stock and Lunatics essentially the same binaries measures were taken to allow application tuning w/o going to Anonymous platform. Hence indeed, no need to install "Lunatics" (that is, to go to Anonymous platform) just to tune GPU apps.

IMHO there are only 2 advantages of Anonymous platform remains currently:
1) faster CPU apps.
2) more recent/better GPU apps because of faster release cycle for installer than for stock apps update.

But second one approaches to zero these days with speedup of stock apps testing cycle and slowdown of new installer version formation.

You forget to mention the ability to lock in usage of the CUDA version most suitable for your particular NVidia card(s). Although this is an Astropulse-specific thread, the Lunatics installer has to be viewed as a unified whole.

Actually this can be done with stock too. few dozens of task abortion implied though.

Well darn, darn and triple darn!!!

My computer crashed and something got corrupted, all tasks went to error on reboot, couldn't see anything in my client state files relating to SETI files, had to reattach to project.

So BONIC abandoned 95 AP tasks, I see some familiar names who got them ... So you are welcome :D

Does anyone know if BOINC will clean out all the WUs I have in my folder? they are all errors and not trying to run. Maybe I will leave them for a day, then delete them.

Pesky things, took me 2 days to get back to 90 AP GPU wu's.
And still not even 1 for my CPU.

This same thing happened to me the last AP frenzy... After a sudden reboot S@H was gone completly from my Boinc. Pesky buggers that resends are still off.

Now happily crunching away with 200 AP's in my cache :)

---

This latest run of APs has got my RAC the highest it has been since last Nov. when V6 went away. I still doubt I'll get a toaster.

---

OK, the AP fest seems to eclipse the one we had last week. SSP shows 2594 APs ready to send and I have 171 APs out of 200 WU's waiting to be crunched.

Don't know how long this will last but my RAC went from 19.5K to 16K and now is back up 19K. Maybe it will hit 20 before I crunch all these APs.

Ride the wave while it lasts cause like a surfer it isn't constant.

My 2 rigs' CPU's have had full caches of AP's for a few days now. :-)

In the vernacular of the time that is a good thing.

Sure is as the 2500K will be fine for almost 8 days while the 3570K will be good for almost 6 once AP splitting finishes.

Cheers.

One advantage of having a slow rig and then a very slow one is that I get a full 10 day cache on each.
