Louis, Jim is right..

Just use his.

I'm away from computers until at least Monday night, using the cellphone right.

Sorry

Louis, here's a correction on CPU usage:

<app_config>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.50</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.04</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

cpu_usage should be 0.04, not 0.4, to be consistent with Seti main and lunatics.
Otherwise each GPU uses a full core to feed it!

Try using this simple app_config.xml

adjust the cpu usage to what you like.
<app_config>
<app>
<name>astropulse_v7</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.4</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v7</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.50</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.4</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

in the beginning right before <name> you have <app>, but at the end you have <name> but no <app> before it.

of course i don't know anything

My app_info will NOT be compatible with yours. I run NVIVEA you have ATI.

I would suggest, set cache at 0.01 days and let it run down (at least a bit).

Reinstall Lunatics to get your app_info back for your ATI cards. And restart BOINC.

Then insert the v8 MB code in. And restart BOINC.

That should get you going in this time of change.

First, there is no such thing as AP v8, only MB v8.

There may(I think I heard rumors) be a MB app for ATI, but don't quote me on that. I use NVIDIA and there is no MB v8 app for that yet.

Do you still have your original app_anfo ??

What I did, was add to it:

<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>setiathome_8.00_windows_intelx86.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<file_info>
<name>libfftw3f-3-3-4_x86.dll</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
<version_num>800</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>setiathome_8.00_windows_intelx86.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
<file_ref>
<file_name>libfftw3f-3-3-4_x86.dll</file_name>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

I added it right at the bottom before </app_info> (bottom of file)

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PASTE IN ANOTHER <app_info> or </app_info>

This will retain your current apps, and just add MB v8 for CPU.

Currently I am running v8 MB on CPU, v7 AP and v7 resends on GPU.
It worked for me.

BUT DISCLAIMER, I won't say that it will work for all, I AM NO EXPERT !!!!

I am still confused. Should I be receiving APs for V8. I am receiving CPU tasks without a problem. Am I missing something or is it just not my turn? Just curious....

Setiathome is at v8, with Setiathome v7 still available, just, Astropulse is at v7, and staying at v7.

Setiathome applications

Claggy

for AMD/ATI GPU I'm using Mike's GPU app

So that might help Louis out, from what I see. Maybe you could point him in the right direction if he asks?
For me, I'm running 6 NVidias ...

Its Raistmers app not mine.

Here is the link.

No GPU apps?

I believe this to be correct. There is currently one in beta testing I believe however this requires manual installation. Not sure where you get the application from

I need a functional app_info and a functional app_config.
Any help is appreciated.

For CPU work, the info is present, earlier in this chain, that I used to get that running. For GPU work, there is no app yet. If you want to do the CPU part it's very easy, following Richard's message to paste this new segment into your App_Info.xml:

<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>setiathome_8.00_windows_intelx86.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<file_info>
<name>libfftw3f-3-3-4_x86.dll</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
<version_num>800</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>setiathome_8.00_windows_intelx86.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
<file_ref>
<file_name>libfftw3f-3-3-4_x86.dll</file_name>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

Then be sure to download the new executable:
http://boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/download_fanout/setiathome_8.00_windows_intelx86.exe
and put it in in the project directory.
Stop BOINC and restart. That's it.

On the other hand, screw it. I shouldn't have to understand anything about code, app files or jack shit to volunteer for this work.

But I thought I remembered you were here to learn as well? Isn't that some of the fun?

Really? I could save a lot of Watthours just dropping SETI and BOINC. WTH is up with this new app?! I have followed all of the instructions I have found.

I need a functional app_info and a functional app_config.

Any help is appreciated.

I bought mine first to be able to see something on my monitors, second to be able to run DirectX 11 games at high/very high/ultra settings. Isn't that what most people think about when they buy a graphics card?

Most people? Probably. People here in the SETI forums might be a bit different. ;-)

I currently have 15 GPU's crunching for SETI. 13 of them were purchased specifically for that purpose.
