Is it possible you used the wrong brook dll file? There are several and i think it depends on your videodriver version which one to use.

*Also i think you should leave open name at brook32.dll

If that doesn't work you can try different brook dlls from here:
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/download/ but i think you have the right one because i also have catalyst 10.7

If there's anyone interested here is the nbody simulation on CPU combined with the ATI GPU program:

GPU processing is slowed down a bit though, about 20% slower.

No i didn't try this on my machine with the ATI card but rather on my laptop, i will try tomorrow to get it working on my core i7 with the ATI card as well.

Two workunits with errors here and also on the other hosts, that got them so far:

de_nbody_test_10_9674_1282101611
de_nbody_test_10_10314_1282103078

Btw, if anyone has a working app_info.xml which excludes the milkyway 0.19 workunits from being downloaded, it would be appreciated, if you would share it here. ;-)



Hello Alexander, i tried a few different app_info.xml's myself and i've come up with this one:

<app_info>
<app>
<name>milkyway_nbody</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>milkyway_nbody_0.03_windows_x86_64.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>

<app_version>
<app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name>
<version_num>3</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>milkyway_nbody_0.03_windows_x86_64.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>


Let me know if this works for you

* I have a bug to report as well, even the X86-64 version runs in 32bit mode on my machine.

I have alot of CPU WU's failing after a few seconds lately. One of these is de_13_3s_const_1_939236_1268561995 It starts out at about 100,04% and then fails at 100%
Boinc says they are completed but on the website it says Completed, marked as invalid.
Any ideas?
