I haven't changed anything in forever. I am using an optimized linux app by Gispel, but that has been stable for many months. Any ideas?? Glenn ID: 42594 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Glenn Yup, same here: increasing numbers of "Validate error" and "Completed, marked as invalid" on the GPU WU's. ID: 42595 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

That's very strange. The output of the invalid ones is weird, but they should have validated. I'll take a look into it. --Travis ID: 42599 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm not quite sure what the error is, but I've updated the error logs to have more informative exception reporting which should help me find it. So if you see any other workunits that have this problem please link them in here so I can figure out what's going on. --Travis ID: 42601 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I did both a project reset and a detatch-reattach but still get the same on this host Go away, I was asleep ID: 42607 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 6 Oct 2010, 4:18:43 UTC I'm going to stop this separation search and start a new ones. I think maybe Matt N. used some bad parameter files. I have no idea why the GPU applications would be having these kinds of issues. --Travis ID: 42617 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I've had about 65 validate, 20 go to pending, and no invalids since your post at about 4:22 UTC, Travis. Seems to be working so far for 5870 gpu only on Win7. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this beast is slain! Brent ID: 42620 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
