CPU/ATI GPU hybrid AstroPulse for Windows released

[Raistmer]

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)

There is no more beta

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...
Look this page for further info:

Data Distribution State   SETI@home #   Astropulse #   As of*
Results ready to send   130,180   0   9m
This is what I have to look for?

     <version_num>506</version_num>

505 or 506?

Exactly. 0 AP tasks available and AP splitters turned off or disabled.

505 or 506?

No matter actually.

Thanks a lot,

currently i can not test it, since seti seems to deliver only cuda wu's.

Шо-ж такое... испытать-то не на чем... Астропульсы не поступают 

[cristipurdel]

Manage to get my first WU in 11 hours. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=1416425675
But had lots of ati display crashes, around 5-7.
Any updates on the beta?

What GPU, what other tasks on GPU?

[cristipurdel]

Currently just my 4650 mobility, and only the first WU. On the 2600XT I've stopped it cause it was giving probably too many display crashes, and needed a lot of ...watching over.

[Raistmer]

And what driver?

[Perihelion]

Thanks for the ultimate effort but i think this new application simply needs some polishing, i had 2 driver crashes in 1 hour..

What conditions were at time of driver restart ?
Watched HD video, played 3D game, runned Colatz or MW tasks ?

[cristipurdel]

Almost 50% in the WU, I had 2 'soft boinc restarts, and 2 'hard' laptop restarts due to the crashes.

No 3d game or MW, only seti, i was surfing..youtube, facebook etc.. watched some videos @ youtube, then driver crash happened.

UPDATE
Finished the second WU http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=1418350816
The 2 'hard' restarts were due to the screen flickering real scary, even after closing boinc.
Still using Cat. 9.7 from the updates .

I see. That is, such GPU activity is too high for your host. Will try to build version with smaller kernels (driver restart (it's not crash in common meaning)) happens because driver doesn't respond to OS for longer than 2 seconds.

For now try to set <count> tag to 1. Then only 1 AP task will be launched.
