Optimised Seti ... Am I doing it right?

[daveip]

Hi guys ... I decided to run Seti@home again after getting my new rig setup. I'm David on the list btw. I think I've managed to get the astropulse optimised part running, but CUDA isn't running. I'd like the whole computer to be utilised, so I've been expecting to run 8 threads, plus another 2 for CUDA. So 10 in total for an i7, plus a 9800gt and 9600gt.

Below is my app_info file

Have I missed anything out?? I'm also getting an error.

15/05/2009 14:11:58 SETI@home [error] No app version for result: windows_intelx86 603

I have no idea why ... I am running Vista 64bit SP1 by the way.

Thanks for any replies guys!! =)

To get CUDA to work - log into Boinc then <Advanced> <Preferences> - you need to put a tick in the "Use GPU" box

On using the enhanced version you did download the 64bit version? http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads;catd=9

There is also a new version of BOINC just come out.

Having upgraded my Boinc to the new version and then loaded on the lunatics enhancement the CUDA seems a lot more stable - currently doing a CUDA workunit every 8 mins.

I had it ticked. I sent a message on the Seti boards and its been sorted. Thanks for the reply though mate!!
