PrimeGrid: Official release of tpsieve for PPS (Sieve)
PrimeGrid is excited to finally announce the official release of the tpsieve application in the PPS (Sieve) project. Linux, Mac, and Windows platforms for 32/64 bit are all supported as well as CUDA and OpenCL (ATI). Only Mac OpenCL is NOT currently available. Also, OpenCL requires an app_info file to run due to a scheduling request issue. However, we hope to have that problem resolved before the next Challenge (18-21 December). NOTE: Windows GPU users should update to .NET Framework 3.5. tpsieve, based on Geoff Reynolds' original code, is a revolution to k*2^n+1/-1 sieving. Thanks in large part to Ken Brazier's updates and modifications to include simultaneous +1/-1 dat-less sieving as well as his ports to the GPU, tpsieve has changed the landscape of sieving and is now providing incredible support to the prime finding community. Thank you Ken!!!

Hmmm, I don't have NET 3.5 on any machines and all GPUs are currently working correctly.

I'd love to test the 64 bit CPU app, but I'm busy with WCG.

If you have any Win7 boxes then you have .net 3.5. Not sure about Vista. This is a wild guess but it could be the case that the apps might crunch faster under 3.5 but that is probably just wishful thinking. I mean when was the last time M$ updated their software and actually improved efficiency?

Running XP Pro 64 & 32 here, NET 3.5 apparently not needed.

Re: PrimeGrid: Official release of tpsieve for PPS (Sieve)
Ouch! This next challenge may be painful guys. We better give it all we got just to hang in there. So a 5870 does nearly 3x worse than a GTX 470. Wow; that is some seriously inefficient code for the ATI app. :(

Also, I think it's a good idea for everyone to test the speed of their GPU with and without the CPU's crunching. It may be more efficient without the CPU. I'm currently calculating the runtime of the GPU tasks with and without the CPU cores crunching PPS Sieve tasks. I may keep one core free for the challenge to maximize the GPU efficiency if necessary.
Re: PrimeGrid: Official release of tpsieve for PPS (Sieve)
On my machines I found that the I7 crunching or not had little or no effect on the GPU wu times. On the quad Q6600 at 3G there was a marked improvement by not using the CPU for crunching.
Both machines were crunching WCG and PG at the same time.

Good info since 3 of my machines are E6600s.
Which GPU?
I just checked CPU usage and the ATI (4870) app is using a constant 3-6% CPU while the Nvidia (9800GT) cards are all using <1%.
I'm leaning towards running both CPU GPU in the PG Challenge.
