	What an absolutely brilliant bit of software - hats off to you my man, and thx for the effort :-) +1 Fred, you have a remarkable ability to see a need and find a solution. I love BoincTasks and Tthrottle because they fill holes that BOINC can't seem to fill. Maybe someday that team will figure out how to count tasks! ____________ Another Fred Support SETI@home when you search the Web or shop online with GoodSearch and GoodShop

	OK, I GIVE UP!! As I have said in previous posts, V 1.0 and V 1.1 error out. I thought maybe it was because I am not running the Lunatics GPU app, so I downloaded and installed it (V 0.40). Restarted BOINC and SETI Enhanced appears to run OK using the Lunatics executable. "Snoozed" the GPU and ran V 1.1, error! Downloaded V 1.2 -- same thing! I changed the setting in app_info.xml to run two instances in the GPU, and it is chugging along just fine! So why the #@! won't Fred's test program run on my machine?? Dual core AMD, 3GB memory, NVIDIA GT 520 GPU with 2GB memory and driver 285.58, Windows XP SP3, BOINC 7.0.28. EDIT -- Just noticed that I posted this under the wrong user name (I have two -- don't ask). The machine in question is running SETI under the user name 'w1hue', machine ID 'lepc'. Sorry about that... EDIT #2 -- the GT 520 has 1GB of memory, not 2GB. According to GPU-Z, it is running at 99% capacity with two SETI instances under Lunatics -- it was at 92% using the standard app (didn't check it with one instance under Lunatics).

	First Run at 3 wu each on Gtx 670 and Gtx 470 Have completed over 400 wu with a full 1 day cache. I have only seen one error so far on the work unit listed below. not a -9 error still trying to figure out what card it came from. System temps worst seen so far, Room Temp 84 f board 0 at 71 degrees c and board 1 at 70 degrees C. (seems ok so far) Started with RAC close to zero and at 3026 after almost a full day of running CUDA only. Waiting for CPU DistRTgen tasks on CPU to finish. Should complete some time today.

	First Run at 3 wu each on Gtx 670 and Gtx 470 Have completed over 400 wu with a full 1 day cache. I have only seen one error so far on the work unit listed below. not a -9 error still trying to figure out what card it came from. System temps worst seen so far, Room Temp 84 f board 0 at 71 degrees c and board 1 at 70 degrees C. (seems ok so far) Started with RAC close to zero and at 3026 after almost a full day of running CUDA only. Waiting for CPU DistRTgen tasks on CPU to finish. Should complete some time today. Workunit 1058725176 You currently have 2 errors, 1 from each card. But they are a software error and not hardware. The most recent one came from the GTX-470. The -12 error is something that is being mostly fixed in the forthcoming x41z. setiathome_CUDA: Found 2 CUDA device(s): Device 1: GeForce GTX 470, 1279 MiB, regsPerBlock 32768 computeCap 2.0, multiProcs 14 clockRate = 1215000 Device 2: GeForce GTX 670, 2048 MiB, regsPerBlock 65536 computeCap 3.0, multiProcs 7 clockRate = 1045500 In cudaAcc_initializeDevice(): Boinc passed DevPref 1 setiathome_CUDA: CUDA Device 1 specified, checking...

	So why the #@! won't Fred's test program run on my machine?? Try exiting BOINC, not snoozing. Did that already -- still won't run. Here's what I get: Starting automatic test: (x41g) 04 September 2012 - 15:40:25 Start, devices: 1, device count: 1 (1.00) 04 September 2012 - 15:40:34 ERROR: Device: 0, Count: 0, program failed to start. Ready --------------------------------------------------------------------- Results: Device: 0, device count: 1, average time / count: 0, average time on device: 0 Seconds (0 Minutes, 0 Seconds) Aborted, detected an error, results may be invalid. ____________
