RE: The 64 Bit Mac OSX App

The 64 Bit Mac OSX App seems somewhat faster than the established version 1.05.

Over here, I'm seeing WUs complete 35% faster! Nice work.

I just issued version 1.09

I just issued version 1.09 CPU Beta app versions for OSX (PPC,x86,x64) and 64Bit Linux. This update is meant to test (yet) another build process for OSX, and also the progress should be updated more frequently.

I just ran three tasks on my

I just ran three tasks on my AMD HD7870 (Windows 7, 13.9 drivers, they run BRP5s fine), and all three were diagnosed "completed, validation inconclusive" within seconds of arrival. I've turned off beta testing GW CasA for now and returned to BRP5.

wuid=190896145
wuid=190909479
wuid=190909480

All three were set against a CPU run version from host ID 4268602 which runs these tasks without problems.

OK, all three tasks are still

OK, all three tasks are still Unsent to a third (checking) computer. Is no one running CasA anymore, or is there something stuck? It's been over 42 hours now that the tasks have been in that situation.

If it's anything like the old Gravity Wave search, the Locality Scheduler will wait until somebody with exactly the same frequency bins as you have, already downloaded, requests CAS work.

In the old days, when we had a bespoke Einstein Server Status Page - not that pastel BOINC thing - "oldest unsent task" was a useful datum: usually about a week, before the scheduler forced some poor soul to take a massive extra download.

Just to feed back that the 1.09 PPC and x64 versions appear to be running OK on my respective Macs. Two tasks completed and validated with each so far and a third task 74.000% done on the PPC machine.

I'm afraid I'm not able to comment on completion times or progress-update frequencies.

All three tasks were finally sent to a third computer, the results are in. My results are marked completed, marked as invalid. So I guess I won't run any further CasA on my HD 7870 then. :-)

Use two different locations

Use two different locations and assign each computer to one of the locations. Now you can edit the preferences for each location according to your wishes.
