Please be advised that 'here' participation level requirements are currently under review due to security violations, and things are being shuffled around a lot.

does this mean i can't use the seti optimized apps for sse3 and 4.1? i was kinda hoping i could trick boinc into using the gpu with this. i dont' run astropulse. not enough points. :(. i have the following ati gpus:

2600xt, 2600xt, 4350, 2400pro, onboard 3100 of 3200 series, 4650, and soon a 5870.

any idea when there might be a gpu optimized app the same way there is for the cpu? that isnt' for astropulse?

i know most of those gpu's are not fast but every little bit helps :). i might just get one of those 6 pci-e 16x  mobos and slap a amd x6 in it and put as many gpu's as i can spare (i run headless atm, with vnc, makes it easier and cheaper than buying a dvi kvm) and run the gpu astropulse optimized thing to see how many points i can get.

1) surely you can use any CPU-optimized app that your CPU supports while using GPU-oriented app. For now the best is Akv8b opt apps, chose right SSE level for your CPU with them.
2) All your GPUs can be used for AstroPulse Hybrid app. They will work as co-processor to speedup FFA part of task computations.
3) 4350, 4650 and future 5870 GPUs can participate in Beta testing of new ATI AstroPulse application. Please, consider possibility to take participation in beta testing.

well, it will work the same as my akv8win64 sse4.1 optimized app? :). i dont' want astropulse to run on the cpu. is that possible? or some of the astropulse will run on the cpu?

can you tell me how i can get that up and running? i know i probably have to put a new app info xml in the boinc folder, but is there one for this Akv8b  and the sse4.1 optimized? or is it all the same thing?

Raistmer:
It depends of what app info you will use.
You can include CPU SETI MB (AKv8b SSE4.1) app and hybrid AP app only, then you will use CPU for SETI MB tasks and, partially, for AP tasks too (due to hybrid AP app nature), but no pure-CPU AP app.
Moreover, you will have separate work fetch for AP (as GPU ATI app) and SETI MB (as CPU app).

Unfortunately, there will be no OpenCL support for GPUs lesser than 4xxx, so Hybrid AP is the best (for now and for foreseen future) you can use for lower ATI GPUs with SETI project.
