Things are running great now Mike no more ERRORS thanks . after freeing up one cpu core my gpu load dropped and stayed around 50% so now im running two wu on the single gpu but i have been noticing something strange , both wu run great and gpu loads sits around 95%-99% and both wu take about 15 minutes to complete from an estimate of 21 minutes but after the first two or three wu finish and the next one loads on the gpu the load drops and stays around 75%-80% and one unit takes around an hour to an hour and a half while the second wu still takes the 15 min with both wu with the same estimate , but again if i close boince and restart it both units take 15 min again for the first few then the same thing happens even if the wu have already been started and previously sed an hour it then takes 15 min after a restart of boince until the few have run then one wu slows down , do u have any ideas pls

also if i only run one wu on the gpu it still takes 15 min to complete at 55% load

@Fred

I have calculated something for you.
Please add this line into your appinfo.

<flops>509408724.212160</flops>

Below your command line.

This should increase estimates, reduce your DCF and limit the errors.

Beware its very low value on purpose.



will this be the same for mine ill do this and see how i go

Free at least one core of your CPU.
I will check later again.

Your APR is out of order.

Do you have flops included in your appinfo.xml ?


no flops in my appinfo.xml .

do you know the flops for my card and how to put it in pls

how do i free up one core if i only run three wu it shares it across the four cores still
