quote from his posting.......

The quota should be per app version, 100 for CPU Astropulse_v505, 100 for CPU Seti_enhanced, 100 for Cuda_Fermi, 100 for Cuda32, 100 for Cuda, 100 for ATI Astropulse_v505, etc.

Can someone here verify this statement?  Did this information come from Berkeley?

If true, then are the Seti servers going to send the VLAR ONLY to cpu's? (version 603)

Claggy:
Did you look at my Beta Application info page i linked to?

Yes, that's the plan: you can see it in action at Beta, with the new Application Info pages.

But the implementation at SETI is partial, incomplete, and as yet bug-ridden. (Beta is better, but not yet fully debugged)

I doubt it. It could be done, but they haven't shown any enthusiasm to take that up since I first suggested it in February 2009.

If they do decide to implement that, it would mean yet another set of bespoke server code to be written, installed - and debugged: VLARs are not applications (which are handled by BOINC code), but jobs, the exclusive responsibility of SETI. And we know how many spare programmers they have.....

As always...........thanks Richard.

efmer (fred):
Does this mean that everybody gets a max of 100 tasks, no matter what system you are running?

I see some reports that there is work distributed for regular Seti tasks but not for optimized versions.
