Those mentioned changes *MAY*, I repeat, ***MAY*** have corrected the multi-GPU issue where tasks were taking up to 4 times longer to run. I have been running it for a couple of days now and I have not seen that problem come back. | |

It seems to have done the trick with the GPU tasks that seem to run forever. In my book that would make it an improvement on 6.6.20 (the current release version). | |

Apparently a new version on its way with additional debugging messages. They can't work out from the ones it has why it swaps work out in the middle of running it to do something else. | |

Bigger problems than that with 6.6.23 ... on my system GPU Grid was building negative debt uncontrollably as the only GPU project on the system. There is a guy on Rosetta that had the opposite problem, he could not get Rosetta work with a 50/50 split between Rosetta and GPU Grid. They want to tinker with the rules rather than take a step back and examine if we have the right approach in the first place. | |

Until a few days or weeks later you realize that you really should have gone for the other option.. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 | |

Wasn't it Churchill that said Americans first try everything else before opting for the right solution? Does it make more sense to find the right solution and then try all the wrong ones? :-) | |

Wasn't it Churchill that said Americans first try everything else before opting for the right solution? Sadly that is actually the normative case. The right solution is right there and is ignored for "political" or "social" reasons. Just as an example, we tried prohibition with alcohol and proved that that tactic merely increased crime and lost tax revenue. So, what have we done now? Repeated the experiment with drugs. Just because drugs became legal I am no more likely to go down to the drug store to buy some hash than I was yesterday. And making something illegal does not make it unavailable. The fundamental problem is that most people would rather cling to their assumptions than to fact facts. Learning is that something you believe in ain't so is a real downer. | |
