OK what to run now and how?
« on: 20 May 2009, 01:10:41 pm »
After reading posts here and at SETI I need a little advice.  I am running Raistmers V9 CPU_GPU team and BOINC Manager 6.6.20 on a WINXP 32 system with an 8800GTX card.

I want to update to 6.6.28 and keep running optimized apps but not the CPU_GPU team as per Raistmers recommendation to allow the manager to handle the scheduling.

After doing way too much reading here and at SETI I still can't find any single, concise procedure and directions to the appropriate downloads.  Where can I find the optimized CUDA app or is there even one available yet?   Do I just let SETI dl whatever CUDA app it wants? Where can I find the correct appl_info.xml file?  I don't have a problem with editing the one I have I just need to know WHAT to change so I don't hose myself...

I usually run 4 APs on my QX6700 and 1 MB on the 8800GTX.  Sometimes ( recently ) I have only had enough APs for 2 or 3 of the CPU cores and have run multiple MB's, which was no problem with the team app.  All the MBs I have show as "setiathome_enhanced 6.08",  will this cause me any grief if I switch away from the team apps before I empty my cache?

Anyway, I could use a little help and or advibe...thanks in advance!

EDIT:  I am running the latest 185.85 drivers

I would suggest the Unified installer beta.
http://l}natics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads;sa=dlview;id=184

That should take care of most of the work.

rjbgames,

The different optimised Cuda V11 apps can be found in this thread (the latest 4 apps and 2.0/2.1/2.2RT's are in the last five pages)

V10/11 of modified SETI MB CUDA + opt AP package for full multi-GPU+CPU use Read the last post first.

The procedure for doing the whole thing is here:

app_info for AP500, AP503, MB603 and MB608

and the latest Faq is here:

FAQ's, Astropulse, Cuda, MultiBeam - Read Only

or you can try the Win32 Lunatics' Unified Installer FINAL BETA

If during the installation you selected All Three AP, MB and Cuda then you should not have an empty CPU.

Thanks, I wasn't able to dl that before "ut it worked this time.  It ran O.K. but for a small wrinkle....

All ly cached setiathomeßenhancdd 6.08 tasks cratered with the following:    [error] No app version for result: windows_intelx86 608

It has now downloaded new tasks as follows:  setiathome_enhanced 6.08 (cP@a)8`r />I guess I owe my ( former ) wingmen an apoloo}  :( :o< b />One nther question...if one of my cores runs out of APs to process, will it sit idle or will a MB task just run on it instead? ie. 3 CPU APs, 1 CPU MB & 1 GPU MB?
