If you check your pref's at SETI, you'll notice a new WU.
AstroPulse v7
It comes in all flavors.
It won't run with the old Lunatics optimizer ment for V6 AP so you have to trade out your present Lunatics by uninstall then download the new Lunatics installer if you plan to run the V7 AP. (the optimizer will run V7 a bit faster).
Here is a chance to add another WU to the WUProp stable.
Not sure if AP6 will be discontinued or when.
The following is a few weeks of Q&A re:AP7 >>SETI AP7 discussion _________________

Is AstroPulse only Crunched with our 'Optimized' Apps?
Win7 'Ultimate'

(BTW, would this do the new Win 10 - 64?)  |

Ok, New nvidia problem. It apparently affects the stock app and the optimized app. If you up to the newest nvidia driver (350) you will have an opencl error building a work file (the problem is the driver, not opencl). Hasn't affected any other projects that I'm doing, but there is a thread on the seti forum about it.
So if you wish to do seti on your nvidia gpu, don't get the 350 driver/downgrade to the last driver/wait for a new app.
There was mention of stealing the beta app and using it as a custom app on the main seti project - if you are feeling up to it. I'm personally just going to wait for the new app to be official and hopefully one of the lunatics will have an optimizer version shortly afterwords.
Quote from one of the volunteer developers:
Quote: | 3) OpenCL stock apps are actually same as Lunatics apps. Sometimes Lunatics binaries more fresh than stock on beta, but I strive to keep binaries at beta as fresh and bug-free as possible, so regarding this particular issue binaries on beta more fresh than current released Lunatics binaries. Hence I advise to take binary from beta (or revert drivers back to pre-350.xx if transfer to anonymous platform not desirable). |
Interesting.
