out of curiosity, which programming language are people using to create their own special apps? is it a matter of improving code or optimizing during compiling?

So the next question is what can I do to raise the GPU loading (and presumably speed up the Cuda 50 processing?).

20. The End-of-file (EOF) check may not be
enough
...
On top of that, incorrect data will be processed in the loop, as unknown values
will be getting to the tmp variable.
To avoid issues like that, we need to use additional methods to check the stream status:
bad(), fail().
...

Interesting. Wonder if that could also be an explanation for tapes that when failing end up with end channels full of errors?

20. The End-of-file (EOF) check may not be
enough
The fragment is taken from SETI@home project. The error is detected by the following PVSStudio
diagnostic: V663 Infinite loop is possible. The 'cin.eof()' condition is insufficient to
break from the loop. Consider adding the 'cin.fail()' function call to the conditional
expression.
...
Explanation
The operation of reading data from a stream object is not as trivial as it may seem at first.
When reading data from streams, programmers usually call the eof() method to check if the
end of stream has been reached. This check, however, is not quite adequate as it is not
sufficient and doesn't allow you to find out if any data reading errors or stream integrity
failures have occurred, which may cause certain issues.
Note. The information provided in this article concerns both input and output streams. To
avoid repetition, we'll only discuss one type of stream here.
This is exactly the mistake the programmer made in the code sample above: in the case of
there being any data reading error, an infinite loop may occur as the eof() method will always
return false. On top of that, incorrect data will be processed in the loop, as unknown values
will be getting to the tmp variable.
To avoid issues like that, we need to use additional methods to check the stream status:
bad(), fail().

Still nothing new on the nVidia Special App. At present the OSX version is still producing twice as many Inconclusive results as the Linux version.

OH, STOP IT.
It was reported that the unrest on the Berkeley campus that night was instigated by a group from outside of either the university or it's students.

Oh, meow on you.

And this thread is about server problems.
If you wish to talk politics, go to that forum.

Meowgrowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwllllll.

BTW, I like the splitter mix now...............
PFB splitters full on deck and GBT too.

When push comes to shove I hope Berkeley has the sense to expel all staff and students involved in instigating the violence.

I doubt anything will be done. As of today only 1 person was arrested the night of the riot. 2 other were arrested the next morning but nothing specific on why. There is only 1 employee under "investigation" as he posted his involvement on social media along with pics. But I doubt much will come of it. In fact, it's hard to anything anymore in the news about it.

No the opposite if you had. The minions are out and about fiddling with stuff for revenge. More to the point can you prove it isn't hillary or Obama, or their minions, interfering with your flow ?

First thing that went thru my mind when I saw they were starting fires and smashing windows on Campus last week. I had to wonder where on Berkeley the Seti offices were and where the servers were located. Second was glad it was at night and hopefully none of the staff was on campus.

...So many of the older units out there could not run it which is one stumbling block on getting into main. But for everyone else ... :

. . ATM I am getting "No tasks available" constantly across the three machines :(

. . Not looking good.

Did you say something bad about Obama or Hillary ?

. . Not at all, should I have? Would that appease the great god Trump and get me more work??

Stephen

Looks like we're almost out of GBT data. Splitter output dropping off again, Ready to send buffer is making it's way back down to 0.

EDIT-
And the only Arecibo work I've got since the re-introduction of Guppies have been resends. Not a single recently split WU.

My question would be why are you concerned?
I don't have an OSX Intel iGPU, but neither does Urs or Raistmer. You don't seem to be bothered by Raistmer or Urs "playing around with apps that your hardware doesn't support".
I'm curious why you've singled out me for this question.

That Core i7 has no AVX2 so result is as expected.

I asked before, so I'll ask again,

TBar why are you, "playing around with apps that your hardware doesn't support?".

I know that I may seem to be an idiot times, but looks can be deceiving. ;-)

I admire the direction that you took after all our debates about the lack of AP's for you and I admire your current work with MB's with your selective OS's, but I'm puzzled by you doing this.

Cheers.

A 5min +-30 seconds might help with the Scheduler and feeder loads, but as the number of active hosts increases, wouldn't the sheer number of hosts result in an (effectively) random load due to each system's randomness with the initial Scheduler request after BOINC starting?
