I saw an intriguing trend in the ATI HD 5770 WUs.
the first finished at 33k+ seconds
the second finished at 28K+seconds
the third finished at 11k+ seconds
I'm waiting on the fourth to see where this is going.

After several failed attempts to get BOINC 7.0.2 (DEV) working under Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, I have returned an Albert OpenCL result under Win7-64.
The GPGPU was a HD 5770, latest AMD driver version available 11.12, BOINC client is development version 7.0.2
The standard 500 coblestones was awarded.
Run time was 30,744.65 seconds
CPU time was 1,304.54 seconds
So I make that just over 9 points per 10 minute period.
Barely better than a CPU but using bucket-loads more power.
The completion time is not quite 1 quarter of one of CPU-core's completion time on the same machine.
But the CPU has 6 cores and so can still beat the snot out of the OpenCL performance on the HD 5770.
Not really worth it then. Well, not with the current AMD Catalyst driver anyway.

Once I get BOINC 7.0.2 working under Linux_AMD64 I should be able to test the different Catalyst drivers. But until then, this is the best I can do.

When I open the project Preferences page using the link on my Account page I get:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /raida/BOINC/projects/EinsteinAtHome/html/project/project_specific_prefs.inc on line 449

page URL is "http://albert.phys.uwm.edu/prefs.php?subset=project"

I cannot adjust my project preferences on this project.
