V9 of modified SETI MB CUDA + opt AP package for full GPU+CPU utilization

--- Quote from: Geek@Play on 24 Feb 2009, 08:58:36 pm ---I installed using "AstroPulse & CudaMB, 1+ GPUs, no Team (req SSE3)". I do NOT have the <ncpus> in the cc_config file. I am therefore running 4 AP work units on the CPU's and 1 CUDA on the video card. This is exactly the configuration I want on my quads.
To be unable to monitor the progress of the CUDA-MB work in Boinc Manager is unsatisfactory. You seem to feel that it's ok since it is crunching the data. I with respect, humbly dissagree.

Your config differs from recommended for these packs. So you will see all "nice" side effects of incorrect BOINC scheduling for CUDA tasks. W/o cc_config time to time you will get idle GPU and idle core - it's worse than to have overloaded core time to time IMHO.

Fine. Will do x64 V10 then.

I just want to check something out if I may. I only crunch seti, no other projects. I have boinc 6.6.9 running on two boxes with Raistmer's V9 package SSSE3. Both boxes only run 4 threads, 3 on the cpu cores and 1 on the Nvidia graphics card. Both boxes have cc_config at 5. 1 core in box is idle. It was the same for the V8 and V7 packages even when I was running 6.6.4, 6.6.3.
Is it supposed to run this way or should there be 5 threads running..

There should be no idle cores.
Check place where you put cc_config. Look first post.

thankyou...i should have it more carefully...again thnx for all the great work...
will try V10 soon...

If you don't use Vista yes.

thank you for your reply - I'm using Vista64 and BOINC as a service install... so that explains it :-[
ofp1:
Hi, my computer is only receiving Astropulse workunits, upgraded from V8a to v9 ssse3 package, it is crunching 5 AP v5.03 units simultaneous but the GPU is at 52°C, it used to be at 72°C when crunching Seti at Home Ehanced 6.03 Wu's, is this normal not to receive SAH units only extra Large AP that takes 11 Hrs to complete and claiming 1213 Credits? maybe it would be problems from SETI servers, is anyone having the same problem?
