The ATI GPU clients running at Milkyway and Collatz were coded and compiled by Gipsel, and work very well.
Indeed they do. But I'm pretty sure (just my guess!) that the Einstein client code is way more complex and (thus) harder to parallelize than the rather straight-forward (mathematical) problems at Milkyway and Collatz...

Yes, well, if I followed Gispel / CP's chastisement of me for my assumption that that was true he uses the same code structures for both versions at MW ... or to put it a different way, done well there is little difference between a program written to take advantage of CUDA as Stream.
That does not make it easy ... or simple ... and I wonder if he would have time to do project number three ... :)

I deem Einstein@Home staff need PRECISION not speed.....
BTW, S5R5 is still in test stage. That means the code we are using is
likely not the final version!
Not exactly, S5R5 is OVER :-), we are now beginning S5R6 (see the science section for more infos...well, it's the same app as S5R5 only the data is extended to include higher frequencies). Anyway, the S5R5/6 app is only available for CPU, and is so mature that it has remained stable for quite some time now. The CUDA beta apps are for the Arecibo Binary Pulsar Search in radio data (ABP1). There will definitely be major speed improvements in the future for this.

Hi, Bill592
nice to see you here again! :)
we meet at milky way before. http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=1212

OpenCL was established about 1 year ago.
I think scientific computation should use open standard, not a private APIs....

A single knight cannot defeat a army!
I don't know why does ATi/AMD not pay attention to BOINC. You know the first GPU app, Folding@Home, is based on ATi X1000 series.
I hope ATi/AMD don't treat Gipsel as Don Quixote...... :-(

Howdy Refla,
I think you are right about that since the Einstein Cuda
app is slower than a snail crawling through molasses .
Glad to see you are also crunching here on Einstein !
Best Regards,
Bill
