any suggestions? (GPU & CPU preferences yes on seti)

Set your Setiathome Preferences like this:
Run only the selected applications SETI@home Enhanced: no
Astropulse: yes
Astropulse v5: yes
If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? yes
Boinc will ask for Astropulse and Astropulse_v5 work, and since there is none available of those,
you'll be sent work from the other (unselected) applications, ie seti@home_enhanced and Astropulse_v505,
subject to what app's are listed in your app_info, and if there's any work to send to them.

Pay attention to highlighted line (in green).
If your app_info has no SETI MB application listed, BOINC will not be able to download any MB work !
And there is no AP work currently available at all on SETI main, only MB. So you need to add AKv8b enty to your app_info.
The best way to construct correct app_info file is to use Lunatics installer for initial optimization and then add corresponding section for hybrid AstroPulse to app_info, leaving all other entries intact.

Well, I could try to build but because my ATI-enabled host still uses x86 OS (not because it's better, just because of my laziness ;D ) it would be hard to test it for me.
Let's wait when I install Win7 x64 on my quad first ;)

Run only the selected applications:
SETI@home Enhanced - yes
Astropulse - yes
Astropulse v5 - yes
If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? - yes
Use Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) if available - yes
Use Central Processing Unit (CPU) - yes

If there is no work - there is no work.
Even "this wonderful app" ;) can't make workunits from the air. If server will not supply work - there will be no work to process...

I want to test only the beta app for AstroPulse using the ATI GPU, and not also the SETI enhanced or AKv8b (which is for MB if I'm not mistaken)
From what I'm figuring out, there are no WUs available right now for AP.
Can anybody post a script for my app_info pls. I want to crunch only for the SETI AP and in the same time for collatz.
alexander77:
For better use of hardware resources I recommend to use this app as addition to opt CPU SETI MB app (AKv8b) and to take participation into some other project that can make use of ATI GPUs like MilkyWay.
Hi,
coul'd anyone plese give an example, how the .xml file would look like to run both apps?

It's for SSSE3-enabled host, x86 OS.
