Thanks. Now THAT's how a utility download should work!

My rig has gotten a bit messy also. Performed a clean install of CCC 15.1 a few minutes ago. I'll let that settle in. Otherwise, I have reviewed all of my settings. They seem to be in line.

My tasks:

State: All (1544) · In progress (503) · Validation pending (397) · Validation inconclusive (268) · Valid (178) · Invalid (188) · Error (10)
Application: All (1544) · AstroPulse v7 (6) · SETI@home v7 (166) · SETI@home v8 (1372)

My rig seems to be quite stable with the new software. For anyone interested or in need of an app_config.xml, mine is as follows, for AMD of course..

<app_config>
<app>
<name>astropulse_v7</name>
<max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>.33</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v7</name>
<max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>.33</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>.08</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
<max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>.33</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

If anyone sees a problem with this, please let me know.

Happy crunching!!

Edit: HHmmmm.... The GPU tasks are not nearly taxing my hardware. Estimated time 1:35, real time approximately 1:45, with the above app_config.

Any ideas?

Resistance is not futile, it is voltage multiplied by amperage... ;-)

Shouldn't it be Voltage divided by amperage? ;)

They are to be commended for their dedication.

+ 100 They have worlds more patience than I do...........

Indeed.
And more than patience, they have the knowledge.
I do not posses coding skills....

I do not even have the time/ability to help with the testing....

Just a lot of paitence, I will wait untill its all running smoothly again and then start crunching...

The only thing I use the RAC for is determining the efficiency of my processing configuration. I don't like contributing 2.4Kw of power(4 rigs, 600watt PS each) unless I'm content it's being used in the most efficient manner. However, lately it's been impossible to get a baseline on my rigs due to the intermittent supply of AP 7 WUs and the current switch over to S@H v8. The old apples vs oranges story.

Fun fact.. you're probably not pulling 600 watts from each one. That's just a maximum output that the PS can do.

Like mine is a 750, but my UPS says that with the rig, LCD monitor, 24-port rackmount gigabit switch, cable modem, router, and 5-bay external enclosure.. I'm sitting at 290 watts. And that's while crunching on half of the cores. If I suspend crunching, it drops to 245 watts.

But still, I get your point.

RAC? Who cares about that? I don't even know what mine is--I don't look at it nor keep up with it. I'm here for the science and the knowledge of the community.

If RAC and credits are all that matter to you.. why are you even here? There are other projects that shell out way more credits and RAC than this project does.

Just sayin'.

Just a notice to those RAC hunters who only wanting to do AP's.

After seeing what my main rig can do on its GPU's with AP's, after a data drive failure and reverting back to stock apps, I just might turn nasty when a new Lunatics installer is available and do AP's on both CPU and GPU (instead of just on my CPU's) just to deprive yous that whinge about not having enough of them even more (mainly because I'm sick of listening to those complaining about not getting enough of them). :-P

Cheers. :-D

I don't plan on a restore,

I mostly want to preserve my apps, and config files if I need them for editing. And yes my v8 part of XML.

I may try stock just to see how they run, but not for now :)
Crunching at E@H now for the challenge. but AP refuses to run as configured.
