On both my machines I am getting occasional APs sent to CPUs as 7.00 or 7.03, rather than the 7.10s that are sent to my GPUs. The vast majority are sent to the GPUs, but I seem to get a handful of APs sent to the CPUs each time a new AP batch is processed by the servers. My prefs are set to do AP only on GPU.

This is a clear server error, right? And it has been going on ever since v8 was released, I believe, IIRC.

Any idea when the Powers That Be will take a look at this?

How do you think you are setting "AP only on GPU"?

Unless you can explain your full setup, and how you think it forbids APs being sent to CPU, there's not really anything for the Powers That Be to look at.

Thanks, Richard

Looks to me like you are correct. I looked at my SETI and computing prefs, and there does NOT seem to be a way to prevent APs from being run on CPU if I have it enabled at all.

I should have said I am running stock for now; with Lunatics I can accept only GPU for AP (IIRC, which I was doing pre-v8). The servers did d/l to me both the GPU AP 7.10 (1/3/16) and CPU AP 7.03 SSE2 (2/1) and SSE (1/28) and 7.00 (2/3).

So: I guess I have to go Lunatics to prevent AP on CPU?

That would be the easiest way, yes. It wasn't the prime purpose of developing the installer, but it does give you much more control over what does (or doesn't) get installed.

That would be the easiest way, yes.

ok, I'll bite - is there another way of doing it, then?

Write your own app_info.xml file from the ground up? :P

[That's not an entirely frivolous suggestion - it's how we all started. The recipe is in Anonymous platform, and you'll find 95%+ of the ingredients in your current client_state.xml file.]

Richard -

that's too much like work, especially since I will be going to Lunatics by the end of Feb. at the latest. I am trying to get a feel for the stock apps now so I can get a decent feel for how much better Lunatics is when I go there.

Thanks for your help, though, I really appreciate it.
