Hello,
I have a lot of errors with the new app, here are some examples:

what's wrong?

The same gpu worked without problems on the old version...

My first impression was that 1.9GHz was pushing it a bit, but you did make it to 25h!
The error should mean something to the techs.

I installed a newer driver and now it seems to be working! I returned my first successful 6.05 WU in 65000 seconds on the same card!

Last night, I had an error with this application; one NOT properly reported to boinc.exe so it could go on to another workunit. It gave a Windows error message instead.

Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.

I've made no attempts to overclock the CPU or the GPU card. It will be a few days before I can do much about any driver issues.

Wus are very long to complete with Win Seven 64 bits, near the double time compared to 6.06 app under Linux 64 for equivalent amount of points.

Is there a way to make it work better ? (Is Sync Swan switch useful or not with this new app?)

Could someone tell me why Ubuntu 32 bit with Nvidia 275 will not crunch --does it have to be 64 bit pissed off it was working with XP but DONT want to go back to windows--happy for any help!!??--marysduby---PhenomII x4 940

There is only a 64bit compiled Linux application.
Why not use Ubuntu 64bit?

I had three of these this past weekend.

This was unusual for my machine. So far, with 6.05, I have had good results.

Here are links to the other two results:

May have something to do with the rather high total demand for main memory near the time of the problem - near 7 GB out of 8 GB.

Held on to the GPU until I told Windows to close the program.

I've noticed that when the amount of memory in use on my machine exceeds 50% of the total physical memory, 64-bit programs keep on running properly, but 32-bit programs (including one I suspect is responsible for the keyboard communications) tend to slow down drastically or have other problems.

You may find this an adequate reason for providing a 64-bit version of the workunit software, even if this does not increase the speed otherwise.


ACEMD2: GPU molecular dynamics 6.05 (cuda)

Vista Home Premium SP2
waiting for a very long The Lattice Project workunit to finish so I can install the latest Nvidia driver - 193 hours so far out of 320 expected, already 100 hours past the last usable checkpoint.
Intel 4-processor-core CPU
9800 GT GPU

I have seen this error on my x64 Vista system too.
Perhaps you could add a spare hard drive and set the Virtual memory to use that space. Using your primary hard drive (system drive) for cache is slower, and the system might think it has crashed (timeout) when it is just trying to read or write to the drive:
- Right click Computer, Properties, Advanced System Settings, Advanced, Performance Settings, Advanced, Virtual Memory, Change, and Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives, select the other drive to use for cache. I’m guessing 12GB would be the default cache size.

The Lattice Project uses 1.2GB per long task, so it is probably the culprit here!
32bit software, as you say, may work on x64 systems, but there are problems after 3.2/3.4GB is used.
Would be nice to have 64bit apps for x64 Windows operating systems as well as Linux, but then Linux cannot be x86, there is only an x64 app!

Two more sets of bad results this weekend virtually identical to what I received last weekend.

My 8800 has gone from being able to run work units that other cards cannot to not being able to run any work units. :(

Is there a fix for this yet?

Thanks.

Turn off power saving features on your computer, like in Display Properties -> Power Options Properties
-> Turn off monitor - Never,
-> Turn off hard disks - Never,
-> System standby - Never.

Windows: "Where do you want to go today?"
Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming, or what?"

Thanks for the suggestion, however, my computer is already set as such.

I will try disabling the BOINC screen saver this weekend to see if that makes a difference.

I will try disabling the BOINC screen saver this weekend to see if that makes a difference.

The BOINC screensaver consistently crashes GPUGRID on my machines. For some reason it occasionally sets itself to on from time to time on a couple of the boxes and I had to delete the BOINC.scr file in the Windows base directory to get it to stop.

It is best to not install the Boinc Screen Saver, during setup.

AFAIK it always gets installed. BOINC setup just asks if you want to use it by default.

You are right about that. It can still be selected as the screen saver at a later time. I never select to use it during Boinc setup, but it is still available as a screen saver.

The problem on 2 of my Win7 boxes so far is that for some unknown reason every now and then the settings change from "no screensaver" to "BOINC screensaver", then GPUGRID crashes. Deleting the BOINC.scr file fixes the problem. Unfortunately upgrading to a new BOINC version puts it back in...

Perhaps Boinc is reading previous installation settings either incorrectly (not the way you want, because of a change in Boinc) or because at some time in the past you installed Boinc with the screen saver enabled. Unless Boinc kept an Installation History file you would be just guessing.

Definitely not the case.
