AK V8 + CUDA MB team work mod
e6600:
hmm, i think i got a problem. i recently upgraded to v8 sse3_AMD from v5b/v6 (idk which one) and ive noticed that mb units are crunching away slower. before the switch my gpu (8800gt) smashed through mbs in probably 10 minutes or less, but now it seems like the gpu is crunching at the rate of the CPU (amd 5200+ x2 3.3ghz)
is this normal? thanks
oh and my gpu's temps dropped about 15c from before... used to be around 70c with v5b/v6 and now its 55c @_@
another edit: one mb WU finished and right when another started, the gpu temps went back up to 70c and its crunching like it used to.. is it just a small mb size? seems like ive got many smaller mb wus when i had v6 :D

Playing games like WOW and doing cuda in the background doesn't go very well. Is there a way to disable/suspend only cuda while playing?
something like a semaphore file?

No :)
Try to kick BOINC devs some more for it ;D

This fact has positive side too - you do not need GPU-aware BOINC at all. You just need host with CUDA-supported GPU. It should work even with BOINC 5.xx
4) <ncpus>NUMBER_OF_CORES+1</ncpus> is REQUIRED for productive work. If you let BOINC manage CPU cores number you will end up with one idle core, trust me ;)

Hi Raistmer... Just need to know if it is possible to run this mod on all cores with my Q6600+GPU, with older 5.xx client? In other words, does older clients even support cc_config.xml file? I've tried allready, but it always end up with one idle core. You said "...should work even with 5.xx" wich is more like "if you're crazy enough" to me. I've been stucked with 5.xx cause I get used to 'return results immediately' feature. Bottomline.. Can I stay in the past or should I've switch to Boinc 6.xx ?
Thnx and keep up with good work.
Raistmer:
I didn't check that but it _should_work on BOINC 5 too.
cc_config should be placed in BOINC directory.
