Need Help with app_info.xml for HYBRID ATI GPU/CPU Optimized AstroPulse_v505 5.0
[STS]LoB:
Hello,
first of all thank you for your continued effort with the optimized SETI@home apps, I'm using them for months and years now.
I want to try the HYBRID ATI GPU/CPU Optimized AstroPulse_v505 5.05 for Windows now, but I don't know how to adjust several values of the app_info.xml file here:
The news reads:
--- Quote ---Please, edit <max/avg_ncpus> and <count> tags values as appropriate for your config.
This example taken from host that runs 4 SETI CPU MB + 2 SETI hybrid AP + 2 Milkyway ATI GPU opt app v20.
Corresponding <count> value for MW project is 0.48
--- End quote ---
... and I have no clue how to set it.
My Setup:
* Intel Core 2 Duo T7600
* ATI Radeon HD 4670
I want to use ONLY SETI@home, with both CPUs and if needed also with my GPU. My app_info for now looks like that:

I guess this is only because there's really no Astropulse work unit available?
But still, how to <max/avg_ncpus> and <count> properly for my system?
Any help is appreciated.

For right now it can be pared down a bit.

Make certain that you have the option to accept other work selected as well, since there is not option for v505.
Yes, AP work is very scarce for the time being, mostly reissues.

For SETI only
<coproc>

<count>0.5</count>
</coproc>
Frizz:
What would be the optimal configuration for a AMD Quad CPU + one ATI GPU ?
I only run Seti@Home - nothing else.

4 CPU MB + 2 ATI AP tasks at once
