Does that mean the Windows version now works well?

What are these workunits called?

We actually uploaded only the Windows one now.
It works well, 50 more WUs uploaded.

gdf

They are called something like L*-TEST.

Sorry guys. I let my ION try to pick up tasks and it downloaded and spat out 13 tests. Its now set to not pick up any more tasks. Not sure why I could not pick up any tests on my GTS 250 or GTX 260, perhaps just timing.

My GT 240 (G215 core) picked up one task and it worked a bit better. Lasted 5min 34sec.

All four Bxx - TONI units completed successfully after only two minutes.
One Lxx - TONI unit has just finished normally after only 4h:18m. Excellent performance increase.
Temperatures look normal, however the cpu utilisation of 100% is going to be an issue for me and others running cpu projects alongside GPUgrid.

the cpu utilization should have remained the same. We will look into it.

I have two of these WU's running on my Windows 7 64 bit Pro', i7 920 with two GTX260 (216 core 55nm) GPU's. After they were about 66% completed I noticed that they were each using 100% of one of the eight multi-threaded cores. I closed down Boinc manager and switched off multithreading. On restarting Boinc manager, each WU was now running 100% of one of the four,non multithreaded cores. The elapsed timer on Boinc manager started again at the point at which it had previously stopped (3.5 hours). The time to completion looks to be about the same as when previously using hyperthreading (approximately 5 hours). I will forward details when completed.

The result of one of the WU's which completed after approximately five hours and seven minutes. The other is similar. Temperatures normal.

I picked up 2 so far. Links are here and here

They only ran for a couple of minutes but finished successfully. They were run on a GTX295.

L6-TONI_TEST2901-0-10-RND2222_2

http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=1793679
Completed and validated 37,082.82 35,765.96 4,503.74 6,080.05

The result mirrors Stoneageman's result in that CPU was used almost 100%. Note I am crunching on WCG at the same time (not sure if that is being picked up rather than actual GPUGrid CPU time used)!
That said, great improvement. The GPU is GTS250 and CC1.1 and tasks normally take from 53000s to 60000s. So completion time dropped from 100% to less than 70%. If you take the normal 60000s the WU was 60% faster.

I have one more long Beta task running on a GT 240 CC1.1 - should finish late tonight.

GTX285, XP32/ i7-920 HT ON @4.0 GHz.
100% cpu utilization and I did see the estimated 60% runtime improvement.

GTX295 Vista 64 Ultimate/ i7-920 HT OFF @ 4.4 GHz.

On my 295 when I did not suspend other projects to make a full core available for each GPUGrid beta (meaning they had to share) they ran 7.5 hours which is not substantively better than normal, certainly not in the 60% range. I did also get a couple of the real shorties and their CPU utilization was also close to 100%.
It looks like on the i7 there may be an issue with how the processor is handling the instruction set if HT is OFF. Maybe internally the CPU is turning HT on??? Observing task manager if I made sure 2 cores were free then each of the two WUs would use 25% but when I ran 4 CPU WUs from other projects the GPUGrid betas were using 11-13% which is just what a CPU WU looks like when I have HT on. The 7.5 hour runtimes I mentioned above were processed with HT off.

L45-TONI_TEST2901-0-10-RND5880_0 is 43% complete after 5h, so should complete in around 6h (though the estimate time to finish is 12h). On a 2.2GHz opteron Quad with a GT240. On that system typical task turnaround is about 17 or 18h. So it is preforming about 60% faster on that CC1.2 card.

the cpu utilisation of 100% is going to be an issue for me and others running cpu projects alongside GPUgrid.

8800GT, BOINC v6.10.29, Win7-64, AMD X2

Running with 2 instances of Wieferich@home, beta runs a bit slower than old app, machine is barely responsive, 1 instance of Wieferich stalls. If I free up one complete core (close 1 instance of Wieferich) beta runs faster and machine becomes responsive. With the old app everything ran fine with an instance of Wieferich on each core. The 100% CPU core utilization of the beta is a problem...

Saw the Beta running, so came back to give it a go, I had been blown away by too many errors on the old apps. Grabbed two about 20 mins ago, early days but the speed is impressive.

CPU utilisation is out of wack as noted by others, its using a complete core on the Phenom2 Quad (Task Manager reports cpu utilisation as "23". That needs addressing as its a showstopper because its draining from cpu based Projects (in my case Aqua - has no effect on Freehal).

It managed to muscle out Aqua from one core - quite a feat as the Aqua app is somewhat territorial grabbing all cores usually kicking off others :) Temps are ok.

If the cpu utilisation is resolved its looking like I'll be back again, which is a relief - I have serious GPUGRID withdrawal symptoms :)
