Report on new optimized Astropulse apps for Windows
Jason G:
Nice, That's the first Live WU I've seen that is granted & against stock wingman, because all my v5's so far have gone to pending.
@Raistmer: Sure for 32 bit users, I'm pretty sure 64 bit multibeam is still a faster option, but it is in the right direction, and some machines 32 bit AP might indeed show equal or slightly better. Some time will tell.
Richard Haselgrove:
My v5s have been validating just fine at Beta, and here's a nice one at Main: 367818871. Be quick - turns into a pumpkin at midnight UTC!
Leaps - I don't want to burst your bubble, but Beta is currently overpaying credit - the tracking average was skewed by a disasterously slow v4.37 build. Main is paying as near as dammit 760 cobbles, making Cruiser's AP rate ~0.00807454. Still respectable, but not such an outright winner.
I won't be commenting on this at Main: the difference isn't all that significant, and it's nice to see someone saying something nice about AP credit for a change.
Raistmer:
Hm...second result I see today and it contains 30 repetitive pulses... (Joe's addition of pulse counters is very handy :) )
It seems overflow is pretty common for AP. Some troubles with threshoulds or with blanking?
@ Richard - is it possible to say had this result non-zero indices.txt or not ?
[probably some "blanking counter" should be added to stderr too]
@All testers
Please keep eye on indices.txt in working directory (if it become non-zero length or not).
And if you keep result file, please, keep indices.txt too along with result and WU files.
Jason G:
The high incidence of overflows seen might possibly be related to what I mentioned when I realised they were using psuedo-random number generators to generate the noise data. Unfortunately most psuedo random number generators are based on shift register designs that exhibit an approximation to a maximum length sequence, a special kind of signal used to excite an impulse response from active systems due to the fact that the impulse response is a broadband pulse. . We have to follow the project's lead in this matter, though I would have suggested using a fixed signal deformation function with known characteristics that could be subtracted as known artefacts from the results, much like the FFT splitter artefact in MB. But I haven;t been practising my bone pointing enough, and Australia is just too far away to reach over and knock some heads together.

Sorry, can't say - I didn't look. But I'll start spot-checking now. Also, I haven't been preserving data/result files since we went live, but I see that box has had two short ones already: I'll start preserving them again, in view of this discussion.
Jason, could you teach me to bone-point? I must be nearer.... Or better yet, can you teach Josef?
