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

[elec999]

I plan to switch my Machine to XP 64bit, am I making a good choice.
Thank you

If you will not meet CUDA app freeze, then yes, Win x64 slightly faster then Win x86 regarding SETI apps.

Did you ever build on for older SSE2 AMD CPUs + a GPU?

What config do you have? For what CPU you need SSE2 app ?

Opteron 170/270/280 AMD

Any plans for an SSE3 64bit version for AMD? I found the Intel only one a couple pages in, my poor Quad FX could really use the help!


Thanks

Do you think if ran multiple instances on a GPU it would give us better results.

Its motherboard has PCI-E slots?

AMD CPUs should use x86 SSE3_AMD build. It's fastest build for such calss of CPUs.

?
What do you mean? What multiple instances?

He means MIMD operation I think ... Sorry, I think GPUs are a SIMD device? so one active instance per Compute device, though I'm sure multiple apps would run by switching one another out of device context (taking turns).

[Raistmer]

Running 2 apps on single GPU seems to decrease performance.
So for now it is better one CUDA app per GPU.

[elec999]

Sorry, to make such a big deal. But it seems to me this GPU+CPU team, really slows things down. I mean it seems the GPU is really slowing down the cpu, and on a older computer the cpu is slowing down the GPU. Is there any way to make run on their own.
Thank you

My 270's do sse3

All I can say, is that I got my two "cuda monster", running. Install Boinc 6.4.5, install cuda 2.1.
Q6600@3.6ghz, GTX 260 Core 216, 8800 GT G92 <- First Monster (6 instances running, 2 Cudas + 4 Cpu) -> Happy to say this guy doesnt make that much noise, loudest thing is my hard drive.
Q6600@Stock, 9800GT, 8800GTS <- Second Monster (6 instances running, 2 Cudas + 4 Cpu) -> This guy is like a jet due to the older GPUs, and XFX motherboard Loud fans.
All running V10 + SSE3.
Running XP 32, hoping to go to XP 64.
Thank you for all of your hard work

Since installing V10 i am getting nothing but AP wu's, ideas

Untick AP in your SETI preferences.
