hm to late for edit. I

hm to late for edit.

I wanted to try it with my 8800GT too but i dont get any work O.o
Sheduler Log: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu//host_sched_logs/4067/4067215

I use the same Driver/BOINC/Windows/"Workgroup:work" version like the working 9800GTX machine. I tried to detach and reattach too. Im confused. Plz help ^^

BRP4 work distribution

BRP4 work distribution stopped for a few hours.

See this post in the Technical News section of the boards.

only the work generation

only the work generation seems to be stopped. Distribution should run or do i read that wrong?

On my GTX 550Ti Binary Radio

On my GTX 550Ti Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo) v1.28 is running 20 minutes faster than with v1.25, so that is very good work from the programmer(s)!
Temperature goes from 71°C to 75-76°C but that is still within the safe range of the graphics board.

Which driver version do you use?
I use the latest beta and see a decrease of performance. I can remember that there were problems with some versions of drivers; i want to downgrade but do not know which version fits best.

On this
host,
which does 2 instances_per_device = GPU GTX480.

An impressive gain and really noticeble and higher throughput or RAC!
Shorter RunTime and lower CPU-time! Driver 275.33.

After looking at several

After looking at several results (BRP4 ATI/CUDA app.) I notice specially
on mid-range GPUs, quite some time is used for CheckPointing,
On my GTX480+X9650CPU{@3.6GHz), 100 seconds but on slower GPU(/CPUs)
up to 800 seconds.

Some GPUs hardly ever checkpoint.
I assume the WEB-Site preferences, BOINC local also, have a checkpoint setting
but does the setting have any effect.
And the checkpoint isn't actually used or needed since the following computation
starts from scratch?
