All systems go then :)

Dont worry.
The apps are tested with GBT tasks.

I'd say that the apps were designed to work to the GBT specification, and have received some limited testing on a sample tape at Beta.

In the past, we have sometimes found that real-world (or should I say, real-space) data contains quirks which didn't show up on the test tapes. So, we need to keep a watching brief on the GBT data flow as it ramps up, just in case some tweaking is needed.

So far, I seem to have been allocated the grand total of two GBT tasks - both VLARs - and both are still waiting to run. So I'm not panicking yet.

. . Only 2? So far I have six also all VLARs :)

. . The first one is now running and is 20 mins in with no probs so far.

. . Hello Richard,

. . Does today's announcement mean extra headaches for you? Now that the promised reason for V8 release has come to be, do you expect any issues?

Even though I'm not Richard, if there were any problems with the new w/u's then someone will soon let us know here. ;-)

I've got quiet a few here now, but I hope that they don't add a complication to what I'm doing.

Cheers.

. . I thought it might have been a very clever disguise ... :)

. . I have several queued [update: 6] as well but none have started yet. All of mine are vlar WU's. To go where ... aaah nope that's been done.

P.S. [update] while I wasn't watching one has started on the other computer and is 25 mins in AOK.

Have 9 tasks in my cache.

Start benching.......................

With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

I have tested approx 50 different Tasks already.
So i wouldn`t worry to much.

From how many different tapes?

Didn`t check it sorry.
Since there was nothing special i deleted them some while ago.
As soon i see an interesting work unit i will download it for further testing of course.

+1 - vigilance will be the thing, in what amounts to a new game.

A thread marked as "sticky", by a moderator, is one that always appears first in a specific topic. Unless you have checked "Don't move sticky posts to top" in your settings.

They also get different icons.

. . Thank you, I am learning all the time. :)

    . . Please advise if and when you do such a wonderful thing. I would be most keen to run it.

You can watch the sticky thread Optimised Applications and Other Binaries for announcements of official installer releases.

. . I had a look, how is it sticky?

Thanks - looking good so far. Mr. Kevvy said that he would check it out when he gets home from work - that usually means overnight for me, because of time zones. Edit - he's just reported that SSE3 is showing up as well.

I'll fix the typos, but probably not bother with a public release until we can cure some of the obesity by dropping MB_v7 support. I'll have to decide what to do about the missing SSSE3, SSE4.1, and SSE4.2 apps then - I may be able to debug a 9KB DLL, but I don't think I'm up to full app optimisation yet.

CPU detection seems good on my Pentium M







Installer 0.44a still has Multibeam misspelled as Mutlibeam when selecting CUDA & iGPU apps.

Anyone still running a banias or a pentium-m we could test?

I still have a Pentium M, Dothan, notebook. It is limited to SSE & SSE2.

May I FTP you a win32 installer for testing, please? I now have one which should detect and report CPU capabilities accurately on those CPUs (full gory details of that saga on application, later).

I'm game. Do you need a secure place to send it? I made an account on my server for lunatics use several years ago when the kwsn site was having issues. I'll have to see if I can find the password for the account.

I'm not too fussed about it being secure (the payload is in the public domain anyway), but the darn thing has bloated so much in recent years that email is getting unwieldy, quite apart from email providers getting paranoid about executable files in attachments. FTP is quick and easy, for those who have a server-based setup already.
