Testing is finishing up on the Collatz v6.xx application for CUDA. Before I release it, I'd like your opinion on how I should configure the scheduler on the server. Should it: a) Send the CUDA if available and only send an nVidia OpenCL version if there is no CUDA version for the platform b) Send the nVidia OpenCL version if available and only send the CUDA version if there is no nVidia OpenCL version for the platform c) Let the BOINC client learn which is faster over time Note: The CUDA application uses less than 1% CPU whereas the OpenCL versions use considerably more - sometimes up to 80%.
