Hi All, looking to understand what the indicated msgs mean:

I have no idea what they mean or why they were generated, the task completed.

Raf,

What's your commandline look like? I can tell some of it from here but what is the oclfft look like?

Zalster

The GPU applications generate some binary files if they aren't already present. Recent versions will account for changes in application version as well as driver version. So you shouldn't be concerned with these messages unless you're seeing them more than once.

I seem to remember this when I ran the app for the first time. If memory serves me right the tasks ran successfully, and the message never appeared again. The oclFFT plan was compiled successfully at that time with defaults. First noticed it on BETA, so was not surprised when it happened to me on MAIN.

I don't buy computers, I build them!!

This message apears on first usage to generate binaries.
Its more an informational message not a warning.
Only if it shows up more often somethings going on.

Hi Zalster, here is my command line:

-use_sleep -unroll 10 -ffa_block 6144 -ffa_block_fetch 1536 -tune 1 256 4 1 -hp

Thanks Mike, I will keep my eye on it to see if it happens again.

Robert

Thanks Cliff and Wedge009. I think I will be ok.
