1) Message boards : Number crunching : Validate errors (Message 1575) Posted 1 Dec 2011 by dyeman Post: Validate failures have started again. Same computer, no changes that I am aware of. The WUs have normal runtimes, just the result is empty so looks like there is some sort of breakdown in communication between the wrapper and DNETC client. Here is a good result: 4876994 Here is a bad result: 4972525 I installed Cat 11.11. No change. Have just rebooted will see if that makes any difference (Update: first WU after reboot has validated. So far so good...)
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Validate errors (Message 1313) Posted 1 Nov 2011 by dyeman Post: What are the card memory settings when running Collatz and Moo? The same or different ? Not sure I understand.. If you mean speed, then the same - all default "out of the box" settings for the card. Well all is running fine now, and Collatz turned back on. Of course with several things changed at once it is impossible to say what fixed the problem :-). My money would actually be on changing the [processor-usage] priority from 4 to 9 in dnetc-1.00.ini - greatly reduced the CPU overhead and elapsed time on Win 7. I also upped the Moo resource share to hopefully lessen the likelihood that of Moo being pre-empted by collatz mid-WU.

4) Message boards : Number crunching : Validate errors (Message 1303) Posted 1 Nov 2011 by dyeman Post: Just noticed that most WUs running on a 5850 on this machine are getting validate errors. The 5850 is not overclocked and GPU is running at about 70 degrees C. Machine is running Win 7 64bit, Catalyst Driver is 11.3 (just updated to 11.9 to see if that helps). This card is mostly running Collatz, with Moo as backup project. I have the same setup on another system {here} with a 4770 and Moo runs with no problems. Any clues? Thanks!
