I have trouble with this version and the previous one. On computers with 2 GPU cards, if this is the same model of GPU card, with the previous version on a quad cores, i had 3 CPU task running and 2 GPU task. On computer with one GPU card, sometimes i had 4 CPU task and 1 GPU, or 3 CPU task and 1 GPU task. So with the new version 6.4.3 or 6.4.4, i have on all computers, one task per CPU and GPU. So one quad, 2 CPU task and 2 GPU task, if i have 2 GPU cards. But, if i have 2 different GPU cards, at one moment, i have to wait that the last task was finished before download another WU. So the more powerful card is waiting. I downgraded to 6.4.2, because i don't understand why the Task duration correction factor is set to 100 by default. I understand you want to have full power of the GPU cards, but there is some problems with this configuration. I can't be monitoring all the time my computers. I let my computers ran with the 6.4.4 since Sunday morning, and i don't see any improvements with this situation. Jim PROFIT |

6.4.4 works fine. I had to change the Task duration correction to 1. Constant dripping wears away the stone. :) |

6.4.4 works fine. I had to change the Task duration correction to 1. After Jim's psot, I looked and found that too, my DCF was set to 100.000000 I reset it to 1.000000 but don't know if it helped. However there are still small problems in 6.4.4 which have been corrected and 6.4.5 will be out soon. Hopefully the fix for methods of running under windows and lixux will work correctly for both. |

How do you change the DCF? (XP Home, still with 6.3.21) |

The problem with DCF is that when you change it, the value will be change when you upload/download a WU. So you have to change the value every day!! You will find this value in the file "client_state.xml". Jim PROFIT |

The problem with DCF is that when you change it, the value will be change when you upload/download a WU. That is because this version has a bug in it, calculating the value wrong or the estiamate is off so the actual time it takes is longer than the estimate, so it jacks up the DCF factor. I set mine to 1 yesterday, and after 1 run, it was at 99 something. I reset it again to 1 and installed 6.4.5 to see if anything changes or improves. |

It's more than a bug! I try the 6.4.5 this night and get the same problem. This morning i got a computer with 2 GPU, only one GPU was crunching, and the DCF for this computer was set to 100, not by me. I thought this problem is just on computer with 2 or more GPU cards. So i downgraded to 6.4.2, because on computer with 2 GPU, the DCF stay all the time to the value of 100. Btu when i downgraded, i have tho manually change this value in the file or the DCF is not change even after one or more WU was calculated! Jim PROFIT |
