ap_graphics_5.03_windows_intelx86.exe does not crunch WUs, it's the executable launched by the screensaver or BOINC Manager to display graphics. It is separate from the crunching app due to the way BOINC 6.x deals with Vista (and presumably Win 7) requirements.

Hi @ll

How's the best way to run MB and AP CPU opt app and MB CUDA opt app?

I mean, where do i download the opti applications and the corresponding app_info file? Should I do my own app_info file? Do u recommend version 6.6.20?

Thanks in advance.

See this thread:

app_info for AP500, AP503, MB603 and MB608

Raistmer's app's can be found spread out in this thread,
the easiest way to get all the other optimised apps is to get the right combined package from Arkayn's Site:

Multibeam and Astropulse Combined Packages

Thx for the info Claggy.

Hmpf...

I've downloaded the Package : Raistmer's_opt_pack_V10a_x86_SSE3_AMD_MB_CPU_GPU_team.rar

For WinXP, AMD Phenom 9550 und a GTX285 should be the right combination.

However, since I relaunched BOINC 6.6.20, the only Message I receive is :
Message from server: No work sent
Message from server : No work is available for Astropulse

At this time, however, there are 24592 AP WorkUnits and 120065 MB WorkUnits ready to send.

Setting the cc_config.xml to 5 CPUs (QuadCore + 1GPU) only resulted in the CPU attempting to crunch 5 AP WorkUnits (were already in Cache) at once...
The above Server Messages were the same with ncpus set to 5.

My Preferences allow for all Applications and GPU is set to be used even when Computer is in use.

The app_info.xml is unmodified right from the Package.

Any Ideas ?

-- edit --
For my single GPU config, I downloaded the stock CUDA application and manually added it into my old app_info.xml.
BOINC immediately downloaded MB WorkUnits and appears to work just fine.

Do I understand correctly that the stock CUDA Application does not support Multi-GPU configs (plan to build 2xGTX295 with 4 GPUs in a system) ?
