My stats have dropped significantly since the 24th march due to not receiving any CUDA jobs for SETI@home

I'm still getting 8 astropulses to crunch but no CUDA jobs, can anyone tell me why please ?

many thanks

Are you sure that CUDA tasks are enabled in your preferences?
Check here: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project
Make sure that Seti@Home enhanced is selected in the applications box and that "yes" is selected in the "use GPU if available" box.

Also perhaps you should update your video driver to the latest 182.xx version directly from NVIDIA.

Upgrade to 6.6.x. You are still at 6.4.7.

You could also (temporarily) disable AstroPulse and see what happens.

I had stopped getting CUDA work units, until my return home today where I now seen to have a dozen or so queued up.

However the CPU/GPU scheduler doesn't appear to be working as I am crunching 4 CPU AP workunits and no CUDA MB workunits even though they are in the queue.

I am using BOINC 6.6.2 with wxWidgets version 2.8.7 with the optimized AMD binaries from lunatics. I am going to try going back to the stock apps for a day or two to see if the CPU/GPU scheduler works with them. I did read you had to edit the cc_config file to remove the old CPUcores + gpu cores and apparently boinc would work properly using cpu are gpu cores, but it doesn't. If you set the nocpus to 5 in cc_config.xml boinc just crunches 5 AP wu's at once and not 4 plus 1 cuda.

Am I missing the point somewhere along the line or is BOINC just not running as is should be?

I double double checked my app_info file and low and behold, user error.....

All fixed now running 4 cpu and 1 cuda work units at once, with no cc_config file.

I would advise double checking you have the latest correct apps for your cpu/gpu combo and your app_info file is pointing to the right ones if you are using anything other than the stock seti apps.
