Starting a short time ago, all of my WUs are running for 1 second and then being reported as failing validation. 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??

Yup, same here: increasing numbers of "Validate error" and "Completed, marked as invalid" on the GPU WU's.

That's very strange. The output of the invalid ones is weird, but they should have validated.

I'll take a look into it.

Hi Travis,

I have quite a few of these workunits that won't validate on any machine.

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=161266420


And some of these that ran for 3 to 6 SECONDs on NVIDIA cards and validated, but ran for 91 seconds on an ATI card and failed validation.

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.

I'm getting a ton of validation errors too but I'm in Win7. Am I wasting CPU time here??

I'm going to update the windows app and see if that helps anything. Hopefully have a new one out tonight or tomorrow.

I am using the CPU (WinXP pro 32bit) and the 0.19 WUs seem to be rushing through and give a mixture of validated and validate errors (probably 6-+% to validating error).

I did both a project reset and a detatch-reattach but still get the same on this host
Go away, I was asleep

I'm going to shut everything off since it's garbage. No sense wasting resources.

I agree that things are badly broken and not just in LINUX land: I see the exact same thing in Windows. Am NNT'ing this project on all machines until the problem is fixed.

We even have invalid WU validating against each other and causing the actual valid result to be marked invalid.

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=161348033

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=161357816

I have several others that cannot validate because of too many errors.

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.

I started up the new searches, let me know if these are having the same error.

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!

Looks like everything is OK again. WU's of the last 3 hours are all validated.
