The new applications will deliver around 30% more speed for GTX260, GTX280 cards using better hardware architecture. Approximatively the same speed as before for other cards. Thanks to Nvidia for letting us having the test cards.

Very nice!

Now someone should tell Arctic Cooling that we need something like the Accelero S1 for the GTX 260/280 ;)

When will the new application be available? With which version number? At the moment the 6.45 is very slow, I need over 10 hours instead 7:40 with the application 6.43.

Do you use ncpus +1?
I've made some tests for GDF and noticed a slowdown from 45 ms/step to 72 ms/step with Vista64 and ncpus +1.

With Linux 64 there's no slowdown with ncpus +1...

Yes, I use ncpus=5, but I can't see any slowdown through this entry.

Time per step: 41.451 ms

Looks pretty fast. The slowdown comes with the beginning of the application 6.45. I've written the cc_config.xml 2 days later.

Ok, you don't have to believe me. ;)
But here are the WUs with ncpus 5 - 66472, 66791 - both with 72ms/step, and one weirdo ( 67339 ) with 180 ms/step.

After deleting the cc_config.xml the times went back to consistent 42-45 ms/step, like it was without ncpus +1.

After looking at your results I saw most of your WUs are in a range of 41-43 ms/step. I would think that your GTX280 should be a little bit more faster compared to my GTX260...

We also tried that and a few other things on a test project with another app. and it showed the same slowdown with ncpus +1 on Windows, therefore GDF was asking for a nanosleep solution for Windows here in the forums...

Finally - it was worth buying the 260 in the end ;-) Is The app autodistributed or do we have to reset the project (when switching from 6.43 to 6.45 i had to..)

I've checked again without ncpus-entry and now

# Time per step: 35.748 ms

The real running time was 8:24 instead the 7:40 with the 6.43, so it's still a little bit slower also without the ncpus-entry.

EDIT: btw, with ncpus=5 the temperature of the GPU was between 71°C and 73°C, without this entry the temperature is at 79°C.

Nice!

..that are great news. Because I bought a 260² one to crunch for PS3Grid... ;-)

So... let us know when the new version will be released :)


Thanks and happy crunching... :)

Edit:

..dont know whether this is important.

But keep in mind that there is a 2nd version of the 260 out with even more ALUs (216 instead of 192 ALUs..)

and since in gaming it's just a few percent faster than the previous 260, it shouldn't be much more expensive. Right now this is not the case, but if things settle down properly than this might be the card to get.

The 260² you bought should already be the 2nd generation with 216 shaders.
Should be ~10% faster than the orginal 260

My crunchtime with my 260 @ stock speed was ~9.8h --> Time per step was: ~41.600 ms.
A little OC-action and I brought it down to ~8.8h --> Time per step is: ~37.500 ms
That should be the roughly estimated speed of the 260² @ stock clocking.

Cu KyleFL


Btw -- 2x 8800GTs are faster than a single GTX260 :(
2 WUs every 15.9h (time per step: 67.500ms)
My GTX260 needs 17.6h for 2 WUs.
Now I just have to get that promised 30% speed gain to strike back *g*

Mehlano:

How fast is your 260² ?
Time per step and the time for finishing one WU would be interesting for me!
(stock speed or oc´ed ?)

How much did you pay?

Do you mean the optimization should be implemented for the new cards as well? I'm quite sure this should work automatically :)

That is exactly what I meant, yepp. :) Now we got each other... :P

Uuuuh.. I bought the Zotac GTX 260 AMP² for 289 €. (ow my god..my hard earned cash :( )

..and it's not even so fast at PS3Grid as I hoped it would be. ;-)

(thats also the reason why I was so happy to hear about optimized app..)

- Time per step: 44.576 ms
- Time per step: 39.264 ms
- Time per step: 40.022 ms

..last 3 WUs. Average duration time per WU is about 9 hours.. :/

For example.. with my old GPU (8800 GTS / 640 MB / G80) and the same system I had ~11k at the 3DMark06 (!) default benchmark.

Now with the Zotac GPU it was about ~18k points at 3DMark06.

It is the stock version .. but even the AMP version. (And yes.. this one is even more expensive than the standard ² version as well... and the default version could be oc'ed to AMP version, too. :)

Hmm.

A very strange thing is happening on my host.

I´m using BOINC 6.3.10 with default settings (no messing around with ncpu+1 or something like that)

After I uploaded a new WU for GPU Grid today I found my PC crunching happily two CPU Seti units alongside one GPUgrid WU....
-- Can´t say what impact that has on the GPU-crunching time...
I´ll have to wait until the WU is finished to take a look on the time per step.

Thats something I want to figure out.
I didn´t upgrade my Boinc to 6.3.11 or 6.3.12 nor changed anything on the configuration so I thought, maybe it could have something to do with the new applications, because that was the only thing that could have changed something...

The new downloaded Wu has the name:
UQ27568-GPUTEST3-0-10.acemd (Full-atom molecular dynamics 6.45 (cuda)).

Is it possible that this WU has changed the behavior of my BOINC or is the error somewhere else?


If it´s not related to the new applications coming up than I´m really sorry for misusing this threat and I will be very glad to drink the next beer on everyones health! :)

Well, I'll join you with that beer too, because I now have this same (welcome) behaviour too!

I manually updated a few of boxes using BoincView and each one that downloaded new WU's now shows this feature. To clarify, no boxes run with the ncpus+1 setting, all run Boinc 6.3.10 and they are a mix of Windows XP32 and Linux.

Two of my machines did not download new WU and have not started up extra CPU WU's.

It's a failure of the SETI application I've seen in the past, too. Sometimes SETI runs further even though the BOINC manager has stopped the application.

My apologies for hijacking this thread: perhaps the last several posts could be moved off into a thread of their own?

Anyway, the two boxes that did not download new GPU WU's last night (because they didn't need any more work at that time), have downloaded new WU's overnight. Those machines are now crunching an extra CPU WU too.

It's not the science app failure that Kokomiko refers to because this is too systematic across more than one user and in anycase it is not a WU that is running on past 100%. In my case a new CPU WU was started on each machine.

Just to confirm again I am not using ncpus+1: I am running stock boinc 6.3.10 it happens across both Windows and Linux platforms.

Perhaps GDF will tell us what is happening?

You have to take a look on you´re finished tasks:

For example
http://www.ps3grid.net/result.php?resultid=70401

Your Acount -> Computers (choose one) -> Task ID
click for details -> The Time per step is hidden in the big text field.

Cheers mate :)

Actually your question was not as unrelated as I first thought - it could have been related to new apps. I just assumed the new GTX 260/280 apps would get a version number update, so without further thinking I inferred that this new BOINC manager behaviour would be unrelated to new clients.

Is it necessary to use the 6.3.14 to benefit from the performance incerease, or do the new apps run with the older 6.3.10 as well?

..so my post was just a reminding to think about this 2nd editin to be implemented, too.


Do you mean the optimization should be implemented for the new cards as well? I'm quite sure this should work automatically :)

MrS


That is exactly what I meant, yepp. :) Now we got each other... :P

Uuuuh.. I bought the Zotac GTX 260 AMP² for 289 €. (ow my god..my hard earned cash :( )

..and it's not even so fast at PS3Grid as I hoped it would be. ;-)

(thats also the reason why I was so happy to hear about optimized app..)

- Time per step: 44.576 ms
- Time per step: 39.264 ms
- Time per step: 40.022 ms

..last 3 WUs. Average duration time per WU is about 9 hours.. :/


My regular Gigabyte GTX260 have 31.828ms and around 27000 - 28000sec per wu (7,5 - 7,7H)
I pay 224 €.
On 3DmarkVantage i have on 8800GTS512 X2333 and now i have X4000 :)

I have q6600@2968Mhz and 4gb ram 2x2GB (424DDR2) and X38 and XPsp2 and 178.24
