Hope, these won't bomb out with the 'out of memory' error so often (preferrably ever).

Greetings,

I still see 6.48, 6.47 listed on the applciation's page.

NO 6.51 or 6.52 are shown.

When will these be avaialble ?

My first 6.52 ran fine in windows 7 x64 with BOINC x64 6.3.21. I did notice in the info returned for the task it said I had 16 multiprocessors. Is this something internal for the GeForce 8800 GTS 512, or is it supposed to be the number of cores in the CPU? It did correctly detect my shader speed.

Well, what did you do with this app?
Since I crunched some 6.52 WUs now I noticed a quite big increase in runtime on my 9600GT, an increase from 24 to 36 hours!
For example these two WUs here: WU and WU.
The approximate runtime therein fits the real runtime very good, indeed they did run on high priority, not only with 0.9 CPU usage and no manual stops between...
All other Wus before with the 6.48 app were quite faster and crunched in a day, like this one.
Did anyone else noticed such a huge runtime increase or am I the only one?

I haven't seen any change in runtime with the new applications. Are you sure this is since the new app is out and not since CPU < 1 ?

"Changes in science"... IMHO, it would be nice to read more about project science in this forum or on gpugrid.net site in common...

Your change doesn't correspond to version number. Your quicker times were returned on or before November 4th. November 5th and on you have returned both 6.48 and 6.52 units that are longer (time step jumps from about 110 to about 155). I do not have any changes in speed with my 9600GSO over this same period (time steps consistent around 86).

Have you considered machine specific possibilities? I would assume that you aren't using the GPU more heavily (e.g., gaming, CAD, etc.) recently. Perhaps you have developed an overheating issue or something similar?

DrNow, sometimes the clock of your 9600GT is reported as 1.2 GHz and sometimes 1.8 GHz. Could it be that it clocks down during the slow WUs, due to some changes in the power saving setting or the driver?

If the GPU speed changes I would guess that it has something to do with power saving settings in the NVIDIA drivers. Which driver version are you using?
I had a simmilar problem with one of the first Linux 64 drivers for my GTX 260...

Damn, after it didn't change, I think I found out now what was the cause for the slowdown.
It weren't the settings per nvidia driver, it was the RivaTuner I installed!
That was at the sixth of november. According to my logs that's exactly the date where the slowdown started.
So I have to deinstall that thing again!
Anyway, I only needed it to check things, after the 6.48 caused me some broken WUs.
Sorry for the mess, people... ;-)

I will post this here again because its not a BOINC client problem:

Happening with running a GPU WU:
if Iam running GPU and download some WUs in high priority mode because just of a short deadline GPU is going to waiting mode while there is a need/must of working on other WUs (sample: last seen with evolution WUs from yoyo, runtime 13min, 0.3d cache, got 20)

The question is why? Also GPU depends too much of CPU power (0.90), this must be reduced very soon.

So there are 2 existing issues:
- scheduling policy between gpu/cpu
- high cpu load for running gpu
