First GPUs; this NOT easy. SixTrack is in Fortran.
Almost all GPU support is in CUDA for C.


What is in the Fortran, which is not in the C? Unique Scientific Library?
All other code translates to the C without any problems.

Don't use CUDA please. CUDA - for NVIDIA card only, not for ATI and other. Use OpenCL instead, it is the same for both.

I have SSE2 and PNI WU's.

Task / Run Time / App

4148834 / 15,002.69 / SixTrack v444.01 (pni)
4148831 / 14,962.90 / SixTrack v444.01 (pni)
4148621 / 15,884.89 / SixTrack v444.01 (pni)

4168474 / 887.66 / SixTrack v444.01 (sse2)
4168472 / 1,394.16 / SixTrack v444.01 (sse2)
4168470 / 1,023.10 / SixTrack v444.01 (sse2)

BOINC 7.0.28, Win7 x86, AMD Phenom II X4 955

You say, that SSE3/PNI faster? Hmm...

Again problems with optimization for AMD processor? Don't use Intel compiler.

No Athlon. Phenom II X4 955. Passed very strong test.

But task protocol says:

It's not like a performance problem.

Yes, I too.

All WUs breaks with remaining time about 5-10 minutes, percents don't stops. May be it is not error of my system (Phenom II X4 @ 3.3GHz) - but wasted time.

I think the other tasks of this party can also be immediately disposed of, not to be wasted CPU.
