Hey,

i'm wondering a bit whether something goes wrong here; i had a finished Task today and clicked update, according to the log it reported that 1 task - However, a few lines later it says "no work sent" and in "pending tasks" is nothing (http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?userid=5337&offset=0&show_names=0&state=2) i only see a task which finished yesterday.

Something i need to worry about? (On the website i can see only tasks reported on the 7th february, there should be at least one reported on 8th february)

Hello,

i just found:

Amount of concurrent blocks(NVIDIA GPUs Only)
Higher values lead to shorter completion times at the expense of interface lag (1 .. 50000, default is 128)


Someone could explain that a bit more to me? I googled a bit, tho i'm still unsure about it. Also some suggestion would be nice, i got 2 nvidia 9800 GT (with 1024 mb ram and 112 stream processors each)


02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2)


What would be a good setting? :)

thanks in advance

Edit:

ah. they're running in SLI mode. Just found out, would probably not work at all:

NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce 9800 GT (driver version unknown, CUDA version 3020, compute capability 1.1, 1024MB, 336 GFLOPS peak)
NVIDIA GPU 1: GeForce 9800 GT (driver version unknown, CUDA version 3020, compute capability 1.1, 1024MB, 336 GFLOPS peak)


it needs 1.3 right? though there's no message like "your gpu lacks..."
