1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Nothing but errors (Message 612) Posted 8 Jun 2011 by Mr. Hankey Post: ... File is not in distributed.net client format.... The WU on the PC is corrupted, so cant be read, or the AMD driver is corrupted and cant read the file properly. How many of these have you had? Regards Zy All of the WUs were doing this... I think it was a driver issue.. doesn't look like the ATI driver likes swapping out various GPU apps. Did a reboot and project reset and the WUs are crunching away now.

3) Message boards : Number crunching : Where is Free-DC ? (Message 587) Posted 4 Jun 2011 by Mr. Hankey Post: HD failure of some kind... Bok is out on vacation and will be back Sunday.
4) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 402) Posted 20 May 2011 by Mr. Hankey Post: You can't do that if the cards that require the different cores are in the same machine.
5) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 369) Posted 19 May 2011 by Mr. Hankey Post: So I did the bench test and found core 3 was significantly faster. As such I configured the app to use core 3. From the results since I made that configuration change the core setting seems to be ignored at the app continues to use core 0 You have to configure it in your project preferences page, here at the project. If you configure it from the command line, it gets over-written by the project preferences with the next task. So that doesn't make any sense. What if you have more than one system running different cards and core 1 is best on one card core 2 on the other etc etc... shouldn't that be set per card, not at the project level?

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : Long run times (Message 104) Posted 5 May 2011 by Mr. Hankey Post: This is crazy... It is taking two hours to complete one WU on a single 5850 card in my i7. Your checkpoint hang detection code is broken. Is there a problem with 64bit / windows 7 vs 32bit windows etc? An i7 860 box isn't what I would call slow either.
