    astropulse / astropulse v5 starved for units?

    has anyone done SETI recently (pre-server crash)?

    were astropulse / astropulse v5 units few and far between? been waiting almost a week for a unit.. don't think i've seen one.

    I've been running it, but only MB units on my cuda cards.

    a couple of MB units for me too on CUDA but not astropulse.
    I think that client app version is out of date, but you should be able to try it out.

    If you have read that that SSE client will crunch that wu then go for it.

    If you want to test with it,
    1 - disable connection in BOINC manager
    2 - stop boinc manager
    3 - copy/zip/backup the whole BOINC directory
    4 - insert the SSE client (& the app xml file that goes with it or read how to build the right one)
    5 - restart the boinc manager and see what happens

    If you know how to turn on debug mode then you will get lots more info (check out the BOINC wiki)

    if it crashes then
    6 - stop the boinc manager
    7 - restore the boinc directory from backup/zip/copy
    8 - re-enable connection

    Then you are back where you started and you can do the wu with the normal client.

    Good luck with that
