	The new submitted workunits called KASHIF_??? should now work even on G90 cards. The large KASHIF_dim workunits have been reduced by half length, and the data upload by 4 times. There could be around old workunits with the same name, you could look at the creation date on the web site. Changes have been applied now: 20 May 16:44 CEST Hope it works. gdf

	That's music to my ears :) Can you tell us a little about the problem and its fix? EDIT: GDF wrote: So, it seems that there is a bug in the compiler/hardware which appears only on pre G200 cards. We found a way to avoid it for now, but it limits what we can do, so it is not a solution. Seems like the ball is in nVidias court now. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

	A bug in a routine of cuda FFT. gdf

	I just had a couple of these: "Cuda error in file '..\cuda/cutil.h' in line 968 : out of memory. Memory usage: host: bytes device: bytes Assertion failed: 0, file ..\cuda/cutil.h, line 968 This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. " Is that a similar error we're talking about ? WU: 482275 and 482302 (IBUCHs) I notice these are all on GPU1 which may indicate a local problem.

	Some time ago this was an Nvidia driver problem which was sorted with latest drivers. gdf

	I had this WU die. It was run on a GTS250 (G92 chipset I believe) using 185.85 drivers. It will get reported later tonight, so i'm not sure what the actual error is until then. ____________ BOINC blog

	Had a few tasks crashing with a similar error message. The latest was a KASHIF one. # Encounter 10-12 H-bond term WARNING: parameters.cu, line 568: Found zero 10-12 H-bond term. WARNING: parameters.cu, line 568: Found zero 10-12 H-bond term. MDIO ERROR: cannot open file "restart.coor" The card has been running overclocked but fairly cool. This should be safe but then again, overclocking never is. Hot spring weather may play a role (hot attick)...

	Actually your error message is "Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)", which is quite a generic one. It's not "the nasty bug" and might be related to OC and temperature. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

Turns out its the cuda fft_data_swizzle_in error. So they don't appear to work on GTS250's with the 185.85 drivers. ____________ BOINC blog

	It's not "the nasty bug" and might be related to OC and temperature. MrS OK, will throttle back the GPU to half the OC. The core ran about 65°C on hot days (high 50ties during the night) I suspect it will be the memory chips, but for safety measures I'll throttle down the CPU likewise.

All good, the latter still crunching away. Problem is, the Kashif has disappeared from sight, there is no record of it either being downloaded as a task in the first place, nor uploaded when it was finished, nothing in my Task list at all. If I hadnt seen it coming through this end, and "blinked" it would have come and gone without me knowing .... something has stopped its recording as being issued, and something stopped it being recorded in Task list as complete. Suspect the credit side went wonky as well, but the key issue, is the WU which was "never issued" was crunched and returned, but according to the Task list never existed nor returned. I have no doubt it lurks on the server somewhere right now and server side all is probably normal, its not normal this end. It was uploaded and crunched, and the thought occured that since these are "new" WUs, maybe an unknown bug lurks .... dont know, but its wierd enough to report it. If that makes sense rofl:) Looks like Hollywood released Gremlins 5 and we were a secret Alpha for the pesky critters, and they eat my WU :) Regards Zy

	I suspect it will be the memory chips Memory almost never fails due to higher temperatures.. unless pushed really hard. (that's because in contrast to CPU and GPU the memory frequency is not limited by temperature to begin with) MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002
