Title: GPU example apps available?
Post by: tony7201 on 06 Jul 2010, 07:10:32 pm

I was sent a message telling me to look at this thread that David Anderson put on the BOINCs message board.

Sample BOINC applications for NVIDIA/CUDA, NVIDIO/OpenCL, and ATI Stream OpenCL, together with instructions for building on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X,  are now available (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/GPUApp).  Thanks to Tuan Le for developing these.

This is the link to that thread http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=5857#33678

I was wondering if this means anything for a future ATI  Multibeam APP?

no, cause development of such app started already even w/o those samples.

How can I get involved in the Alpha and Beta when it comes time?

ATI AP in beta testing now, ATI MB still on pre-alpha stage indeed.
If you want to participate in ATI AP beta - PM Gecko with description of your host parameters.

Cool. Thank you

Unfortunately, your GPU card not appropriate for these apps. ATI HD4xxx and higher required.
But you still can use so called "hybrid" AP application that uses pre-4xxx ATI cards for some parts of calculations. Look release section for this app (it has "released" status already).
Also, you can download it via SETI beta project and test it (and any new versions that project will have for such cards) there.
