OK what to run now and how?

(1/1)

rjbgames:
After reading posts here and at SETI I need a little advice.  I am running Raistmers V9 CPU_GPU team and BOINC Manager 6.6.20 on a WINXP 32 system with an 8800GTX card.

I want to update to 6.6.28 and keep running optimized apps but not the CPU_GPU team as per Raistmers recommendation to allow the manager to handle the scheduling.

After doing way too much reading here and at SETI I still can't find any single, concise procedure and directions to the appropriate downloads.  Where can I find the optimized CUDA app or is there even one available yet?   Do I just let SETI dl whatever CUDA app it wants? Where can I find the correct appl_info.xml file?  I don't have a problem with editing the one I have I just need to know WHAT to change so I don't hose myself...

I usually run 4 APs on my QX6700 and 1 MB on the 8800GTX.  Sometimes ( recently ) I have only had enough APs for 2 or 3 of the CPU cores and have run multiple MB's, which was no problem with the team app.  All the MBs I have show as "setiathome_enhanced 6.08",  will this cause me any grief if I switch away from the team apps before I empty my cache?

Anyway, I could use a little help and or advibe...thanks in advance!

EDIT:  I am running the latest 185.85 drivers

I would suggest the Unified installer beta.

That should take care of most of the work.

rjbgames,

The different optimised Cuda V11 apps can be found in this thread (the latest 4 apps and 2.0/2.1/2.2RT's are in the last five pages)

V10/11 of modified SETI MB CUDA + opt AP package for full multi-GPU+CPU use Read the last post first.

The procedure for doing the whole thing is here:

app_info for AP500, AP503, MB603 and MB608

and the latest Faq is here:

FAQ's, Astropulse, Cuda, MultiBeam - Read Only

or you can try the Win32 Lunatics' Unified Installer FINAL BETA

Claggy

Pappa:
If during the installation you selected All Three AP, MB and Cuda then you should not have an empty CPU.

Thanks, I wasn't able to dl that before "ut it worked this time.  It ran O.K. but for a small wrinkle....

All ly cached setiathomeßenhancdd 6.08 tasks cratered with the following:    [error] No app version for result: windows_intelx86 608

It has now downloaded new tasks as follows:  setiathome_enhanced 6.08 (cP@a)8`r />I guess I owe my ( former ) wingmen an apoloo}  :( :o< b />One nther question...if one of my cores runs out of APs to process, will it sit idle or will a MB task just run on it instead? ie. 3 CPU APs, 1 CPU MB & 1 GPU MB?

Thanks, that's what I did.  I have now started to see 6.03 down lo
