...the installer works fine... . . Oops. Sorry. |

As the title says. Beta test only, try at your own risk. Beta2 now available, in both 64-bit and 32-bit versions. Pick the right one, or test out my new dialogs... Now includes new r3430 ATI and intel_gpu versions, with extra app_version entries to correspond with the new stock applications deployed on 19 May. ReadMes not yet updated: we polish those up last, to take account of feedback received from testers. Not extensively tested yet: that's your job. I'm going out for a walk.

Very nicely done! |

Strong waiting for guppis wus to download, but nothings there !? Have they been excluded ? But fastest wu ever for me. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=4970345911 Edit: ok, first guppi is here , lets see... |

I'm sorry, I don't really understand your question. But for me, guppi.VLAR tasks are still being allocated and downloaded - they tend to come in batches, with batches of Arecibo tasks in between. |

Thanks for the reply, first guppis are here, lets see... |

Beta2 now available, in both 64-bit and 32-bit versions. Selected and ran 64bit installer. Win10 64bit, re-selected CPU AVX application, selected NVidia GPU SoG application (was running CUDA50). Installed, restarted BOINC. No problems. Crunching resumed, cache intact. Grant Darwin NT |

I installed the Beta on my main machine on the 29th. Now I usually only look at my RAC once a week or less. Imagine my surprise when I looked today ![]() That is just a quick edited screenshot from Boinc Tasks but the upturn starts on the 29th/30th. I wasn't expecting shuch a sharp rise. I have just installed the 32 bit version on my other cruncher, that only has a GTS 450 so be interesting to see how that performs |

Woah! Those are some impressive results. I haven't been following this as closely as I should have, though I have seen that there were discussions of many options settings, and as such I figured that I would hold off till it had a little more time to bake, and would jump on it when it was released. Looking at these results, I think I might take a stab at it, but how much configuring does it need? Or is it fairly automated? I've got a lot of balls in the air right now, and don't want to have to spend a ton of time fiddling with it. What's your experience been with it so far? ![]() ![]() |

I installed the Beta on my main machine on the 29th. . . I replied to ask about Boinc Tasks but learned something along the way about how to add images to messages. They must be uploaded to a web location then referenced with a URL. Hmmm .. something else to master. . . You seem very comfortable with Boinc Tasks so is it alright if I try and pick your brains about it? One thing I do not like about it's graphs is the way they keep using strange values as reference lines, I mean why not use rounded number reference lines like 11000, 11500 etc :) |

Stephen, rather than take this thread off topic, I have sent you a PM. Looking at these results, I think I might take a stab at it, but how much configuring does it need? Or is it fairly automated? I just ran the installer, the only thing I changed was to select the S0G option instead of CUDA. I have to say that today the graph has started a downturn, it is only one day so we will see. My second machine is still crunching the CUDA backlog. |

Is there an updated list of all cuda-app parameters? "-poll " for example, is not listed. Is there an equivalent to "-sbs xxx"? |

Is there an updated list of all cuda-app parameters? No. The 'supported' parameters are given in the readme and sample. The -poll option is a vestigial one that I maintained though never promoted, due to circumstances + tester sentiment when it was made. Most likely since some small amount of people find it useful, it will be exposed in mbcuda.cfg and readmes in due course. "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all.

. . . Hello Richard, . . . You haven't mentioned it but is there any chance that SSE4.1 support has been added in 0.45 Beta? I need to deploy it on my system with the GT730 which is Core2 Duo based. It might be helpful if SSE4.1 is available to help things along. Stephen |

Re-read ReadMe and set correctly -instances_per_device N param for few tasks per GPU operation. |

. . . Hello Richard, No, it hasn't - no developer has supplied me with any updated CPU applications since the v0.44 launch to support SaH v8. I need to deploy it on my system with the GT730 which is Core2 Duo based. It might be helpful if SSE4.1 is available to help things along. You don't strictly 'need' it. SIMD hardware support is cumulative - extra capabilities are added to newer CPU designs, but the old ones are never removed. There are one or two gaps where Intel and AMD followed different pathways for a while, but during that phase of development, the incremental steps were relatively small. Sure, SSSE3 and SSE4.1 would be 'nice to have', but your Core2 Duo will get along pretty well with SSE3 until the developers can catch their breath and regroup. |

I have noticed, that when running 2 instances of sog, it runs both tasks for a while and then one makes no progress any more.It finishes the other and starts a new one which it continues to process. The first one is still making no progress, but the elapsed time keeps going.If i suspend all other tasks, it finally makes progress again and eventually finishes. I have used -instances_per_per_device 2. Any suggestions? |
