WU's of the last 3 hours are all validated. I concur, all seem to be back to normal. For now ;-) ID: 42623 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 6 Oct 2010, 15:45:01 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 It wasn't the GPUs having the problems, it was the CPUs. The CPUs were erroneously finishing WUs in <10 seconds then validating against each other, throwing out the correct GPU results. So you've got a ton of invalid results that are marked as valid. Maybe you could run a search for valid results that took less than 30 seconds, mark them invalid and send them back through so the research isn't affected negatively.

Ok, then I think I know what the problem is. I'm going to update the CPU versions tonight and that should fix things. --Travis ID: 42642 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 7 Oct 2010, 23:10:48 UTC I'm still getting errors. I took another look and no errors today. Maybe it's fixed. ID: 42671 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
