Multibeam x36c Preview, Cuda 3.2
Is there any way to get this build? Faster or not compared to build from 0.37 instaler?
Thanks for answering..

Hi Pepi,
It is a bit faster, though that's a prototype build tuned fairly specifically for certain hardware and has been in alpha testing on selected hosts for data gathering purposes. It doesn't work well on general cards, but upper 2xx series & higher end Fermis it's very good, especially on hosts with lots of high end cards, due to reduced CPU & Bus contention.
There is an even newer x36e build about to go to beta that is more suited for general cards, is also faster than x32f, and is 'V7-ready'.
At the moment I'm deciding how best to put x36e (the one suitable for all cuda cards) to wider beta, without causing too much disruption, as the V7 code is unrefined and has a heavy CPU usage penalty (as with Raistmer's test V7 builds). That doesn't appear to adversely effect legacy V6 processing on main though, and early V7 readiness would be a bonus.
Hang tight & x36e will be in the wild soon enough. We've had to spend more time on V7 migration instead of polishing, which just means having to be careful with a few things.

[Later:] I've dropped PMs to pepi & Ghost, so that it gets a slightly wider online test before I get time to set up a proper beta.

Let me know if my little GTS-450 could be of help. I'm not a beta tester on SETI * but I would love to see what it could do with the more refined build.
* I'm afraid I would be more of a hindrance than a help over there. I need too much hand holding and barely understand what my tests mean.

Jason, if any help, I am also interested in this new x36e beta - currently using and GTX560Ti and i7-2600K...

Thanks both, will be putting to wider beta as soon as I get the time. A bit tied up for now ;)
