It seems like BOINC has been having some issues upgrading the ATI client (which is why we're still seeing some weird invalidation). If you're running MW on a 58x0 ATI GPU, please detach and reattach -- this will force your BOINC client to download the new brook32.dll or brook64.dll files, which contain part of the fix to make these applications return the right value.


If you're using an anonymous platform, please make sure you're using the correct brook32.dll and brook64.dll files from here.


Thanks again for your time and patience as we upgrade the validator and these applications.

I upgraded my HD5850 to the anonymous platform running the 0.23 WUs.

Some of the new work validates OK, with about 2/3rds waiting for a wingman to validate. They then validate OK, as seen here.

Looking back at over 200 results I see only 1 WU that is classified as Completed, marked as invalid all the rest are credited as normal.


Question:
Am I OK to remain with my current GPU client or would you recommend I detach and reattach as you mention below?

Go away, I was asleep

Looks like you're fine if your workunits are returning valid so often. The reason why some results validate immediately while others wait is because of our new validation system -- nothing to worry about there.

I've got 2x 4890's and I'm getting about 8 or so invalid WU a day with the .23 app. I have the latest Cats, not overclocking, win7 x64.

Most seem to be coming in OK though.

Hi Travis!

I have 5770 - BOINC see it(1360GFLOFs), but MilkyWay says "An ATI GPU supporting double precision math is required"

5770 is half of 5870.

Catalist 10.3

Windows 7 x64.

I have 5770 - BOINC see it(1360GFLOFs), but MilkyWay says "An ATI GPU supporting double precision math is required".

Take a look at the GPU Requirements sticky in Number crunching.

In particular, this message, gives the full story.

Cheers,

Thanks!
I'm shocked.
