V10/11 of modified SETI MB CUDA + opt AP package for full multi-GPU+CPU use

elec999 is this you?
This machine runs stock apps. You should switch it to optimized apps.
Checking your most powerful machines, you don't seem to have such a high workunit output. Do you use all of their cores? Do you use them all day, every day (24/7)? If you want good RAC and overall credit, you need to run your machines 24/7.
Edit: If you don't have already, upgrade your boinc to 6.6.20, especially those machines with CUDA GPU.

Hey guys, need some help.
I have a i7 920 running with 3x GTX285s (don't worry 1 is on loan ;)). Vista X64. BOINC 6.6.20
I was running the "base" client and getting MB wu's completed in about 10 mins real time per GPU. I've now enabled astropulse and installed this V10 app.
The "number_of_GPUs" file is set to: 3
CC_config is set to:
<cc_config>
<options>
<ncpus>11</ncpus>
</options>
</cc_config>
Now when I restarted BOINC, all of my CUDA MB units switched over to standard CPU WU's (8 running) and I do not see any CUDA apps running. Now whats weird is my GPUs are still seeing a load (not full load) and getting warm.
So...what did I screw up? ;)
Thanks guys
BTW. here is a link to the host details if that helps:

I stand corrected. It does look like I'm using 3 GPUs and 5 logical CPUs...The application column dropped the "(cuda)" designation so that threw me off.
I'm not getting AP units, but I guess as long as the CPUs are also crunching MBs...that's not a problem?
What is odd though is that I was getting to claim ~50 points per MB cuda WU before installing this apt. Now it looks like I'm only getting ~15points per wu.
That sound right?
client is 6.6.20 btw.

Have you got an optimized AP app? You've also got to edit accordingly your app_info.xml.

It's just a matter of workunit angle range.
Update your boinc to 6.6.20.

Hi Sunu,
Thanks for the help.
I am running 6.6.20, sorry left that out before.
Sounds good, I was thinking it was something to get with the angle, but since it happened at the exact same time I switched over. I wasn't sure.
I did resets the project to see if that would make a difference...I now have 11 WU's running at once rather than 8.
here is my AP info
