Fighting the CUDA bug

Are you volunteering to optimise the AQUA CUDA app? I've got one on my 9800GTX+ (84 GFLOPs) which is estimating 79 hours :o (and that's a big improvement - the last one took 89 hours).

Hehe, no-no-no, as Artifical Realm closed (w/o any explanation, sadly) SETI-only here for now ;)
Cause many users now do many BOINC projects, optimization of another project app will help speedup SETI too, but this is too peripheral way to target ;D

In future, it will be cleaned out even if it has never checkpointed - so application developers, get your checkpointing code working early on in the development process.

DA has also 'checked in' another GPU related change after your question today.

And he's had to fix his own typos

Band-aid time, I reckon - but it's a [tacit] acknowledgement of the FIFO bug.....
efmer (fred):
I had about 6 reboots this night. ;D Today I got one just in time to see something, because it happens really quick. I did an exit on the BOINC manager and checked Stop running science applications.
And that did indeed close them, so they are not crashed.
Starting BOINC again and everything works again... for the time being that is.
