Hi Everyone,

SETI@Home AstroPulse optimized applications for Mac OSX (Intel) and FreeBSD (Intel/AMD) have been released.
This release offers significantly improved performance for computers running 64 and 32 bit versions of Mac OSX and 64 bit versions of FreeBSD.
Here are individual links for all the initial release builds:

Mac OSX Science Apps:

OSX 64 bit SSE3 Intel Compatible Science App:
Intended for Intel CPUs, running 64 bit OSX 10.5+ (Leopard and Snow Leopard) that have SSE3 capability.

1 - Mac OSX 10.5+ 64 bit AstroPulse_v505, v5.06 SSE3(r237) (Intel)

Mac OSX 10.4+ 32 bit SSE3 Intel Compatible Science App:
Intended for Intel CPUs, running 32 bit OSX 10.4+ (Tiger) that have SSE3 capability.

2 - Mac OSX 10.4+ 32 bit AstroPulse_v505, v5.06 SSE3(r237) (Intel)

FreeBSD 64 bit Science Apps:

FreeBSD 64 bit SSE3 Intel Compatible Science App:
Intended for Intel CPUs, running 64 bit FreeBSD that have SSE3 capability.

1 - FreeBSD 64 bit AstroPulse_v505, v5.06 SSE3(r237) (Intel)

FreeBSD 64 bit SSE2 Intel & AMD Compatible Science App:

1 - FreeBSD 64 bit AstroPulse_v505, v5.06 SSE2(r237) (Intel/AMD)

Build source is located HERE

VERY IMPORTANT!!! Note that correct install of these applications requires ADVANCED SKILLS.

A customized app_info.xml file WILL need to be properly created and edited if you also run a version of the S@H multi beam application (see below "issues & warnings"). Done incorrectly, you may trash your work unit cache and or not be able to receive work.

There will be some known issues and warnings to be aware of:

- As mentioned above, You WILL need to edit or create an appropriate app_info.xml file if you run any combination of Astropulse and Multi-beam applications.
- Ensure Boinc & seti@Home applications are already properly functioning on your machine, read carefully the documentation readmes and installation instructions.
- Ensure you choose a build that your CPU/OS will support. Ask for help If you need assistance determining this.
- FreeBSD users should know how to handle simple executables. No installers are included.

Which version to choose for your Mac ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CPU/MacOSX-------|<=10.3----|---10.4---|---10.5=>-|
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Core Duo------------|---none-----|----32-----|----32-------|
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Core2 Duo----------|---none-----|----32-----|-32-or-64--|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- OSX packages contain a simple installer script (adapted of original by Dotsch). More complete installer packages are available by Arkayn HERE

Known issues:

- You can’t start a AP wu with one of the OSX apps (e.g. 10.5+) and restart/continue with the other (e.g. 10.4+). The intermediate files are NOT binary compatible.
- In OSX, when updating/switching to new executables, a message will appear that some permissions around BOINC are not correct and it won’t run or restart. Re-installing BOINC with the same version fixes the issue and will not harm work or data.
- There is no support for CPUs below SSE2 capability
- Borderline OC'ers be aware that you may need to back off to maintain stability, the increased throughput of this application will stress all system components more.
- As Always, use these apps AT YOUR OWN RISK.

And most Importantly of all:
Thanks to Urs Echternacht for updated source improvements and porting to FreeBSD and OSX, derived from original r112 by Crunch3r, Jason G & Raistmer.

Special thanks once again go to zvonas for motivating the FreeBSD builds, Arkayn and Gecko_R7 for OSX alpha testing & all the Lunatics members who performed final Beta testing, for their expertise, input & assistance.

To all of you we value your input and would like to hear from you at Lunatics'

[Announcements] CPU/ATI GPU hybrid AstroPulse_v5.05 5.05 r280 for Windows by Gecko_R7

07 Nov 2009, 10:00:22 am

HYBRID ATI GPU/CPU Optimized AstroPulse_v505 5.05 for Windows OS (r280)

Two editions available now at Hybrid ATI GPU/CPU AstroPulse for Windows Public Downloads area

Hi Everyone,

A SETI@Home AstroPulse optimized application for Windows has been released for use w/ HYBRID ATI GPU and CPU hardware.

This build uses ATI GPU as coprocessor to perform some part of AstroPulse algorithm on GPU instead of CPU. This will free CPU for other tasks.

Here are individual links for all the initial release builds:

HYBRID ATI/CPU AstroPulse_v505 5.05 for Windows r280 Compatible Science App:
Intended for Intel & AMD CPUs with SSE3 capability & ATI Graphics Card, running Windows OS.

1 - Windows AstroPulse_v505, v5.05 SSE3(r280) (ATI GPU + INTEL/AMD)

HYBRID ATI/CPU AstroPulse_v505 5.05 for Windows r280_NO_DOUBLE Compatible Science App:
Intended for Intel & AMD CPUs with SSE3 capability & ATI Graphics Card, running Windows OS.

2 - Windows AstroPulse_v505, v5.05 SSE3_NO_DOUBLE(r280) (ATI GPU + INTEL/AMD)

Build source is located HERE

VERY IMPORTANT!!! Note that correct install of these applications requires ADVANCED SKILLS.

A customized app_info.xml file WILL need to be properly created. Done incorrectly, you may trash your work unit cache and or not be able to receive work.

For better use of hardware resources I recommend to use this app as addition to opt CPU SETI MB app (AKv8b) and to take participation into some other project that can make use of ATI GPUs like MilkyWay.
Currently it’s possible to run up to 2 app instances per GPU.
For a quad with 2 ATI GPUs installed it’s possible to run 4 SETI CPU MB + 4 SETI hybrid AP tasks at once.

Catalyst 9.x drivers required.
List of supported GPUs one can see here:
http://developer.amd.com/gpu/ATIStreamSDK/pages/ATIStreamSystemRequirements.aspx#cards

Please, take note that NO_DOUBLE modification should be used for GPUs w/o double precision support.

Approximate app_info.xml section that could be used to run this app on SETI project:

Code:

<app>
<name>astropulse_v505</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>ap_5.05_win_x86_SSE3_BROOK_r280.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>astropulse_v505</app_name>
<version_num>505</version_num>
<avg_ncpus>0.1</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>0.01</count>
</coproc>
<file_ref>
<file_name>ap_5.05_win_x86_SSE3_BROOK_r280.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

Please, edit <max/avg_ncpus> and <count> tags values as appropriate for your config.
This example taken from host that runs 4 SETI CPU MB + 2 SETI hybrid AP + 2 Milkyway ATI GPU opt app v20.
Corresponding <count> value for MW project is 0.48

- As mentioned above, You WILL need to edit or create an appropriate app_info.xml file if you run any combination of Astropulse, or Multi-beam applications.
- Ensure you choose a build that your CPU/OS will support. Ask for help If you need assistance determining this.
- Ensure Boinc & seti@Home applications are already properly functioning on your machine, read carefully the documentation readmes and installation instructions.
Known issues:
- There is no support for CPUs below SSE3 capability
- Borderline OC'ers be aware that you may need to back off to maintain stability, the increased throughput of this application will stress all system components more.
- As Always, use these apps AT YOUR OWN RISK.

And most Importantly of all:
Thanks to Raistmer for introducing a new ATI GPU-compatible optimized application.

Special thanks go to Jason G and Josef W. Segur for app features, algorithm discussions and useful hints, alpha testers: Arnulf, arkayn, heinz and Urs Echternacht for early spot of some app issues and useful comments about app behaviour, Gipsel for sharing some MW design approaches about sharing GPU between apps and all beta testers who tried app usability on their hosts.

To all of you we value your input and would like to hear from you at Lunatics'

[Announcements] Beta Testing of AstroPulse 5.06 for 64bit and 32bit Linux by Gecko_R7

30 Aug 2009, 04:53:06 pm

Beta Testing of AstroPulse 5.06 for 64bit and 32bit Linux

Hello!

[updated by Gecko] A Public Beta Test of AstroPulse 5.06 for 64bit and 32bit Linux is available to Squires + in the Public Beta Release Applications section of the Downloads area.

There is one build for Astropulse v5.06 for 64bit linux and sse3 capable CPUs and another especially made for AMD64 SSE2 CPUs for download available. This is for Beta test only, on SaH/AP beta.
Update: Three more linux applications for 32bit have been added to the Public Release Beta Test Download section. Please consider a test at SaH/AP beta.

As its unclear how (un)available work is on main, it would be better to start in a smaller circle at beta project for the moment.
AP5.06 work should be available in a limited amount on beta project. Please don't forget to revert back to stock beta application after testing.

Do not count on that these are 'release' packages, as they may have hidden issues (or not).

NOT FOR RELEASE. Not Intended for distribution or use on main.

Please if you're attached to beta project, consider thorough testing of this build there, and report issues here.

Thanks, Urs

While myself (Jason G), Raistmer and JDWhale ported the code, the true Authors are Alex Kan in combination with the Legacy of development knowledge and history at http://lunatics.kwsn.net . Fragments of knowledge and code from previous lunatics' authors including Simon, Joe, Ben Herndon, Crunch3r and other Contributors been used to make this work. Indeed special thanks go to Joe Segur, whose experience and advice was ever present and helpful throughout, and to Crunch3r for inciting the port in the first place.

Extra thanks go to JDWhale for providing the SSE2 compatibility adjustments, which at this end took, all told (in no particular order):
- 1/2 hour to integrate into the source tree,
- 1 day to locate testers with old enough AMDs to verify that it works, and
- 4 days to clean off the margaritas stains

Great thanks go also to the members of the prerelease test community, who have stuck through countless builds and proved invaluable in refinement. Along with mods & admin over at Lunatics ( Hi Gecko_R7 & KWSN - jonnyv ! Grin
