Hi,
I've started crunching GPU WUs and I noticed that the ones with the cuda50/42 apps take twice as much time to complete when compared te the ones ran with the opencl_SoG app. I have crunched some WUs with both the applications, but the server keeps sending me cuda50/42 tasks even when it could easily understand that opencl_SoG ones would be better for my device, what am I doing wrong? Is there a way to tell the server to only send a certain type of task? (besides astropulse/seti@home)

You haven't validated enough tasks of all types yet for the servers to decide which is the fastest to send you. You won't have a valid APR for each application type until you have validated 11 tasks that are not overflows or have too much radar blanking. Give the project about a month to figure things out. Have patience that the servers will eventually decide on the SoG application as fastest. There is no setting to manuallly choose stock applications.

The only way to manually install the SoG application is to install the anonymous platform and use the Lunatics installer available at Mikes World
