Here's a quickie: Is BRP4 going to run on Nvidia cards just like BRP3?

I checked the message boards but I couldn't find a definitive answer.


For questions like that, check the applications page - also linked from the home page.

The top group of 'Binary Radio Pulsar Search', installed on 20 July 2011, are for BRP4 - and include a cuda (Nvidia) version for each platform. Compare with the next group, "Gamma-ray pulsar search #1", which won't run on Nvidia cards (yet...)

The main issue with BRP4 seems to have been a relatively slow start for WU generation.

This might continue be a problem for the next couple of days or even weeks. Workunit generation appears to be much slower (5x) for BRP4 compared to BRP3.

Well, not all are running at a time, the machine couldn't handle all of them. Yesterday I used the priviously disabled instances to migrate from old code to newer, without having to shut down all instances.
