I can understand that some failures can be attributed to failed hardware, but the incident in October was not limited to any one team, and it was certainly more wide spread than anything previously. It has been months, as I stated earlier, since I received a failed unit that I have noticed. At that ...

In your case maybe your writing style can seem a little rude to some readers. So me e.g. did not have the maximum motivation to further discuss your demandings. But maybe I do not feel right about your postings and so I apologize if I did a misunderstanding. I hope you will stay a valuable folder f...

Our symptoms were bad coding, and through "whining" we made it obvious that thousands of work units were failing because of it. While we "whined" this forum pointed at our hardware. Even Stanford provided clarification later that it was bad coding. I could be misunderstanding thi...

I figure this topic should be brought up, not for fighting, not pointing fingers, not causing an argument, but as a discussion to figure things out. Back in October, I posted a thread about failing work units in large volumes. You can look it up and see the end result if you wish. When I posted, I d...

I know it has been 4 months since this thread died off, and that the moderators and naysayers stopped responding.. but I wanted to take a moment to thank Stanford once again. I have not had a single failed unit since the last update and code correction that Stanford applied to the work units, so it ...

This is good news that upon investigation, that was an error in the code that was returning false errors, proving that the issue may not have been nvidia hardware. I guess it pays to investigate both sides rather than assuming nvidia is immediately at fault, and Stanford did just that and found an e...

I don't know exactly what is going on. I don't create work units, as you can probably tell. As you probably also tell from the other threads you have been assisting in, quiet a few other people are still experiencing issues as well, even after following your instructions. You may have found a lucky ...

"Vijay Pande We’ve discovered that the new FahCore_21 is producing more errors than we consider acceptable for some clients. The error rate seems to depend on several factors but most noticeable is that it doesn’t work well with second generation Maxwell GPUs. A few projects have made their way...

Just got home, I am going to go through the log files, once I find them, and I will upload the errors or any other issues I may have had while I was gone.

'Stock' as in from EVGA or actual stock from NV? Anything over what NV recommends is an overclock. No failed core 21 WUs on my 970. Stock, as in Nvidia specifications as noted earlier.. Plus, the memory is underclocked, as mentioned earlier. The work units still fail, so I guess that also explains ...

FYI, the disease preference while configurable in the client, is currently only a place holder for a feature to be implemented at the server level at a later time. The preference currently has no affect on work unit assignment. If I recall you said this two years ago as well! I really hope they hav...

I didn't say you're going to get the same WUs, I said if you do get the same WU, the points will not change. Many Donors (like yourself) focus almost exclusively on points. Others do not. The Pande Group focuses most of their attention on the amount of science being completed. Points are roughly co...

Ok. So, why is the advanced flag even available if you are going to get the same work units either way? Advanced flags used to deliver post beta work units, before they are released as regular units. So, if they are just regular units, what is the purpose of the advanced flag? I would rather full an...

We also had members that are running these tests designate specific flags and specific diseases. Neither did anything. With the advanced flags enabled, the same work units were received as the users without the advanced flag. The only difference was lower ppd. All units were: Disease Type Unknown (o...

Yes, The problem persists. Lowering the memory clocks was never a solution, simply a workaround that has helped some people finish more work units. This is while we wait for Stanford to revise and improve the core. Stanford is able to see what gpu's are processing work units, as far as I understand...
