Title: app_info optimise guide help wanted
Post by: Skywalker66_Bln on 06 Apr 2010, 06:49:24 am
Can anyone help me or have good tips for

Quad-Core 64 bit

Dual-Core 32 bit

all run under Boinc 6.10.43 and Cuda 2.3 and MB_6.08_CUDA_V12_VLARKill_FPLim2048

for Gpu:
as 609
Ncpus 0,15 or 0,127970 or ?????
Calculation factor peak<gflops>/5,6 *0,5 ? on one system i have many trouble , gpu times goes higher and higher. Anyone tell me peak<gflops>/5,6
Lunatics installer brings no better results

Thanks for help

Hi Skywalker66_Bln,
Here's a copy of my app_info,

You may want to trim it down as I've just left it pretty much the same as the v0.35 installer has it, just added in the flops for the CPU and GPU
Hope this helps

the again writing with <plan_class>cuda23</plan_class> i have no seen before or i have not noticed

a new test can start,

ups all Cudas are lost and the server is in maintaince ..... lol.... why can i not wait ????? lol


when i am on the 64 bits, i insert the 64bit lines,  i dont have (before i dont spezify to 64 bit, only the 64bit drivers)

lost all my wu's many times :(
now make backup of Boinc directory and set Boinc mngr to network activity suspended before testing anything
if your GPU timews are going up, then I doubt it would be a app_info issue
as long as you chose the correct installer from here and the correct CPU etc then the app_info will be made for you, all you have to do is to add in the flops line. As far as I know the flops just changes the estimated time for the cuda wu's to be more realistic.
If you aren't seeing any imporvemtn with the Lunatics installer then I would have a look at the GPU and make sure it is running correctly

Try the Lunatics Beta Installer, it'll install the latest apps, do the app_info properly,
rebrand MB 6.09 Wu's to 6.08 so you don't loose any Wu's (and for use with the reschedule1.9 tool),
then all you have to do is add flops values according to MarkJ's formula.
make sure you post feedback in Beta Installer thread.
