It's still a way to go. So far, there has been enough non-VLAR work to keep my GPUs busy. My cache dives a bit now and again, but seems to recover well enough. It should improve when Eric has the time to start splitting AP work from the Green Bank datasets, which he has indicated he will do.

It's still a way to go. As I recall one of the reason for MB v8 was to be able to accommodate data from sources other than Arecibo. So we will probably need a new AP app as well? I believe the only thing I have read so far was Eric mentioning there are plans to do AP for the GBT data as well. Maybe they can get some summer inters to bang out the new splitter and base apps.

It's still a way to go. I am not sure a new app will be required. AP is a different animal than MB. And indications I have are that the current app will work properly. Of course, subject to change as the winds blow...LOL. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

I've started SETI Beta to use my AMD HD 7770. The first task ended in about a minute and is waiting for validation. But what is SoG? It's the first time i see this in a task on my SuSE Linux 42.1 host. Tullio |

How many credits do you get from a guppi vlar? Looking at my current test at Beta, the answer seems to be "it depends on the runtime". But Beta averages and workload distributions will be different from what we (currently) have at Main. |

How many credits do you get from a guppi vlar? Yeah, sadly CreditNew penalises optimisation (i.e. computational efficiency) no matter what the designer states.

I am getting guppi vlars on my Windows 10 PC with its Nvidia GTX 750 TI OC board. Tullio |

noticed them before ... run times just under an hour ... they seem to take longer than they do on my cpus |

Hmm, 750Ti running 1 vlar Plus 1 non vlar (2 tasks). vlar time increased by 70% vs non vlar non vlar time increased by 95% GPU vs CPU(i5), GPU is approx half the time. Interesting note, my CPU temps jumped about 4C, and my GPU went down 4C, on both computers. |

I was expecting guppi .vlars on my Linux box with its AMD HD 7770 but I got none in SETI Beta. Now I am getting them on the Windows PC with its Nvidia GTX 750 Ti OC. They take about 55 minutes. Tullio |

My 750Ti is a little faster; http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=4923071938 This one is about the same; http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=4923086322 Those are running 1 task at a time. |

In Einstein@home I am getting 2000 credits for a CPU task that lasts 90k s and 4400 credits for a GPU task that takes 9k s. Tullio |

Guppi vlars are coming in and they are done in 9-12 minutes one at a time. I suspect they are not doing gaussian searching: Sigma > GaussTOffsetStop: 498 > -434 The difference between singma and GaussTOffsetStop would be 64 if the TOffsetStop would be positive ... analyzePoT.cpp: PoTInfo.GaussTOffsetStart = static_cast<int>(floor(swi.analysis_cfg.pot_t_offset * PoTInfo.GaussSigma+0.5)); analyzePoT.cpp: PoTInfo.GaussTOffsetStop = swi.analysis_cfg.gauss_pot_length - PoTInfo.GaussTOffsetStart; gaussfit.cpp: should probably be analyzePoT.cpp: PoTInfo.GaussTOffsetStart = static_cast<int>(floor(swi.analysis_cfg.pot_t_offset * PoTInfo.GaussSigma+0.5)); analyzePoT.cpp: PoTInfo.GaussTOffsetStop = PoTInfo.GaussTOffsetStart + swi.analysis_cfg.gauss_pot_length; gaussfit.cpp: Just my thoughts.

Sounds about right Petri. Gaussian Search requires a drift over a spot on the sky. i.e. pass the telescope beam over a specific direction and get a bell shaped signal from a constant source. VLAR targeted searches (unblinking eye at one spot) don't pass over a spot, but travel with it. "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all.

VLAR targeted searches (unblinking eye at one spot) don't pass over a spot, but travel with it. Yes, I know what a gaussian is and how it is formed in to the signal. I have noticed the same negative value in test wu PG009. I wonder if ths is a bug in cuda code base or in all sw versions. See edit in my other message.
