Sorry for asking again, but are you going to reguire single or double precision for ATI client?
Just read that they killed FP64 in 6850/6870

I dont know of any reason to require double precision for here, so only single precision would be required.

Agreed. Otherwise almost none of the nVidias would work here, or would have trouble keeping up with CPUs :p

what's up?

when should ATi begin?

Sit back, relax and don't expect anything too soon.

The 2.2 SDK is still a bit too ropey. We're deferring any public app until 2.3 is available.

Have AMD given any kind of Indicative timeframe for 2.3? They'll never give a date, thats for sure, but they do at times give a vague Q1/Q2 etc kind of response.

Zy

it should be before the end of the year I guess.

Also, we want to see what's new in the 69xx series...

Sadly that's not something GDF can influence.. and if he knew about it, he wouldn't be allowed to tell us ;)

Some month back, a few people from the Lunatics Crew, made several app.'s
for computing AstroPulse tasks and later MultiBeem, too. A CUDA version is already working for G80, G92 & G100 ands later GPU's.
I used the 2.1 SDK, it worked, but took awhile to get a decent GPU troughput, like =>50% or better.(On my 480 GPUgrid uses 50%) Einstein less then 5%! SETI 96%
Have a rig with an EAH4850 and a EAH5870, which is about 3 times faster.(Collatz C.,MW and DNETC)

If you set the environment variable SWAN_SYNC=0, in most tasks the use is around 97% in GTX480 in GPUGRID.

A command line parameter? I'm not very skilled in programming. More hardware.
(Old fashioned tubes(!)/transistor/mosFET/(Amstrad CPC128, first PC, BASIC & CPM1.1)(Nice)
But one is never too old to learn :)
Where do I put this? BOINC (Program)dir?

For me, SWAN_SYNC increases GPU usage from 62% or so to 67% (Win 7 64 bit)

The problem is Windows 7. Xp and Linux give the best performance.

I'm pleased to announce that www.boinc.Drugdiscovery@home.com now has a working beta of a ati_opencl of MDRUN, it has been tested on a 5700 ati, a 2600 xt, as well the developers computer.

Are you sure opencl is running on 2600?
How long are the WUs on the 2600?

yes, i'm sure it's running on the 2600 xt... it's my computer...

and to answer your 2nd question... the ancient card the 2600 xt... will take forever it's been running since 9 am and it's still running and it's almost 1 pm.... but its trying to simulate 1 Nano second.
