Test wu-1

omg wow. 
45 seconds to run one work unit? amazing!

Test wu-1 is an artificially shortened WU specifically for quick tests comparing speeds of different app builds, and the 45 second run was on a non-GPU build.

Hi


What req. GPU APP need ?   ( OS and CPU ?)
Winxp or Win Vista version 32 bit or 64 bit?
CPU AMD or INTEL ?

GeForce 8xxx and up is target GPU IMHO.
Memory requirements is unclear for now but certainly 256Mb will be supported eventualy. But Maybe on 512MB and up some additional speedup will be possible due to extensiv precaching.

is this your guy's work?

no ....

[Devaster]

quick test ....

Aww sweet ! 

[zangetsu]

how many points is that small work unit worth?

Seems like you were beaten to the punch?

Well, we working on AP GPU now, not on MB GPU But it's REALLY great that Berkeley release their own CUDA MB, we all wanna look at sources now

[tfp]

I don't think I understand what you mean by AP vs MB GPU.  I think I'm getting my letters mixed up with different acronyms.

I think it is still a beta so it's not out officially but it is cool they are working on an app.

[Raistmer]

AP = AstroPulse, MB = MultiBeam (or SETI Enhanced).

Hello

New GPU CUDA seti not working on my computer

Im download new beta BOINC etc.. in mesage CUDA detecte , adapter detect  (G8600GT) but no performance..
I dont know why computing is very slow i have CUDA 2.0 version and (178.28)driver.

ex.
enchanced Athlon computeing in ~8000 sec vs GPU app CUDA ~17000 sec computing

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=1085527783 ( GPU )

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=1084236529  ( CPU opty. app for AMD )

thx all help

YaY, another person in the 8600GT graphics card stutter club with me! .   I got it to work *OK* after some effort, but at first had trouble with driver crashes and it didn't work so well. I then made sure I updated to the the 178.28 combined display driver with Cuda 2.0, and it worked *a little* better.  Then I installed the cuda Beta 2.1 drivers over the top, and it became slightly better again, and has been crunching ever since.

The system still gets periods where there is slowdown, but reducing the priority of the control app manually *appears* to have helped a little more, so I installed 'process lasso' to automatically set it to low-priority when the application starts.  No effect on speed of the GPU crunching it seems, but the periods of lag & stutter are now infrequent.

That work unit was not done with the GPU... It was stock 6.03 CPU app

Good Spot!, it pays to look at the results you're identifying with
