Validation inconclusive with V0.38g installer

My Guess is, the GT 240 will win! :D LOL

Helli

Hmmm, I just noticed an inconclusive workunit where BOTH results were crunched using x38g:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=766872407

Flopcounter for both results is identical, but the spike count is different (4,1,0,0) vs (3,1,0,0).

Can this be caused by the different GPUs being used (GTX 580 vs GT 240) ?

I noticed one the other day that found the same spikes and Gaussians (no spikes or triplets)running two different versions of the CUDA (38g and 23) that would not validate.

Weird.

Something like this one where I found a pulse the other two didn't but we all three still got credit? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=769599295

GTX 570 ended with -9 after finding 31 pulses, but no spikes. V12

That seems really wrong.

I wish there was a way to make that combination stop asking for tasks.

Some will mourn, other's will rejoice, and some won't notice....
I've often pondered about the possibility of some form of "auto update", but I have my doubts about the practicalities involved - it might be easier to have an alert for a new STABLE version being out (along the lines of the messages presented by the likes of adobe at boot/program start), but how to get this to those fit and forgets who are running really old versions of either BOINC or the S@H as it would probably need a change to the api among other things....

Is it possible to Show A Banner on the BOINC Manager screens, if a
nVIDIA FERMI card, reported by BOINC, is running rev.x32f, (in stead of
rev.x38g)?
(And download this file automatic to (ab)users of a 400 & 500 series and
other (FERMIs),


Probably to complicated, for, maybe a few 1000s users? Maybe less.
They don't represent the typical Set and Forget Crowd, otherwise
they probably were not aware, those apps excisted and where to find them.

But if is(n't a real) problem and 7th version is used, those who run stock can
notice the UPDate, or don't noticed it, at all. End of story, for those?

Still have UPDate 1 rig, a HP Pavillion, C2QUAD+GTS250, it has an old driver,
and driver has to support CUDA 2.3 (Min.)
My X9650 @ 3.51 400MHz DDR2 (FSB=1600MHz)+GTX480, is running x38f.
The I7-2600(HT)+2x EAH5870s running x38f .
Doing a lot of ATROPULSE, on CPU but more on ATI GPUs (2x2)
(Still one rig down :( )

(Just got back from Nijmegen, which was hit by a heavy thunderstorm, hail with
the sice of an egg or bigger, the car I rented, looked like it was 'stoned' never seen so much lightning in 2 hours, >350). Also had to wait a few hours, cause a 3x 380
KV power line and 5 big trees, no trains, diesel-elecric included, cause a srike
was going on, too...........................

Ehh, sorry driftin off TOPIC.

Not sure if it's related to x39c (or x38g)or not; in the last 12 hours I've had three BSODs.

There's a lot of things that have happened too. Power dimming then clicking off for a few seconds then back on (lightning storm), I installed the x39c client, I updated the Nvidia drivers from 267.59 to 275.33. Not sure what's gone wrong, but I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. I have a hdd image from before I touched anything to fall back on.

CPU temp = 58-61C GPU temp = 50C 2 wu at a time. GPU load - 90-95%

I post if/when I find out what's going on.

Well, Memtest said my RAM was OK after four passes. SpinRite said that every part of my hdd could be written to and read from with no errors. Heat isn't an issue. I don't think corrupted files are to blame because I dropped back to x32f and driver 267.59 two days ago and all is running fine now. After dropping back the OS was still hanging for a couple of seconds every now and then. It was worse when I was on a heavy Flash webpage. I downloaded and reinstalled Flash and the hang-ups went away.

I just stepped up to x38g but kept the 267.59 drivers, I'll let this run for a week or so then step up to the next newer drivers (not the newest) and see how that goes.

As Sutaru said, the problem right now isn't with the x32f, it still runs okay, the problem is with people that found the older V12 app from Raistmer and then upgraded their equipment to the new Fermi cards without changing to the new Apps that can run them. I too have sent many PMs trying to get these guys attention but most don't have PMs turned on or are just ignoring them. I think I've only had one person actually reply.
