Nice improvements! :)
1% cpu usage (when it uses the cpu), and the workunit is 50% done, shows 8 seconds of CPU time, normally that would have been about 7 hours 20 minutes.

Down with the Kredit Kops!!!

Is it still in beta testing or in production (and I guess a project reset is necessary) ?

And to get that small CPU usage, are you using a pre-release of Boinc 6.3.11 or 6.3.10 ?

Thx !

We are still in beta testing. You should not need a project reset if you were running the previous application.

A project reset is necessary for people that have download errors.

Thanks, just downloaded a wu to be crunched with 6.45.

I tested 6.45, the display is a lot slowed down :( . It is almost unusable on vista64 + 9600GT

App started fine and is almost not using the CPU. If there is a reduced responsivity of the system it is very small, i.e. I didn't notice a change. Running XP32 SP2, 9800GTX+, 6.3.10 and 177.92.

GDF, may I ask how you implemented this great new feature?

I'm on my first 6.45 windows task.

CPU usage in task manager shows 02 to 06, instead of 50 (for 1 HT CPU)

After 30 minutes of run time, BOINC CPU usage shows 1m 34s.

This means too my CPU runs cooler, Wattage usage drops 34W, from 1 BOINC CPU task to 1 GPU task with a little CPU. Every little bit helps.

This is a very nice improvement :)

One thing to note, when the first 6.45 started, Windows XP SP3 popped up a security window, I had to unblock the application. I never had to do that before with any apps. SP3 was recently installed and this is the first app version change since then, so it may have changed some setting. Just to let those know who may run this on some unattended machine, they need to watch for this.

See the front page Join with your Nvidia graphics card (beta).

Links to the client in that section indicate what client should be used (if you hover over the link, you see the download URL, the version number is part of the URL.

Ok, a new app is running well and almost not occupies CPU resources. So when we will be able to run 3 distributed computing projects WUs - 1 on GPU and 2 on double core CPU?

My 1st v6.45 workunit finished ok.

Shows a total cpu time of 16.78 Seconds, and the task ID says approx 53211 seconds

Keith, do you recall what the warning said?

Keith, do you recall what the warning said?

Probably this standard execution prevention dialog, telling you that MS doesn't know where this .exe comes from and asks you if you really want to execute it.

@Rabinovitch: when BOINC 6.3.11 is released. Currently there's no definite ETA, but it shouldn't be too long (as long as you're not too impatient ;)

Oh, and looking at NaRyans result currently there seem to be 850000 steps in each WU?

Not really, on vista64 I had the same thing and it was to communicate with the internet

Sorry no, who read those things anymore. I was just the standard windows firewall security block. I selected the unblock button since I trust you guys.

I see now that acemd_6.45... is on the exceptions list. Like I said it never did this before. Something windows changed. Matter of fact its the only application type on the list. I do have boinc and client in there. Unless before the firewall had been turned off and the update turned it back on ?

When the developer at Berkeley who does the builds gets off vacation. This will be 6.3.11. Until he returns and decides when it is time to do another release, we just have to wait. I do not know when he will be back. Another week or two maybe, maybe more, maybe less.

My 1st v6.45 workunit finished ok.

Is this time correct, 16 seconds ?

My first 6.45 has been running, now 38% done and has taken 24 minutes and 42 seconds of CPU time (1482 seconds). A check in task manager show same number of minutes and seconds. This would make the total be approx 3900 seconds when done.

His final time will be about 2000 seconds faster than what mine usually run of 55,000 seconds. Not that much different on the GPU times.

Why the big difference on CPU times ? ? ?

I'm at 4:37 min CPU usage after 58.5% on a Q6600 @ 3 GHz. I noticed that initially (the first 1 - 1.5 h) the cpu usage was very low, at the order of few seconds, but when I started to use the machine it seemed to go up.

With the difference in CPU times, are you using an Intel CPU?
I noticed on my Q6600 that cpu time is higher compared to my AMD Dual core.

AMD = 16 Seconds
Intel = 47 Minutes 32 Seconds

And the 2nd workunit on the AMD is heading the same way.
The 2nd workunit on the Intel is at 3% yet it shows the same cpu time (4 seconds) as the AMD system that is at 42%.

Perhaps the new app works better on AMD?
