Thank you, I am waiting for that Version.

FYI
16.12.2011 22:21:21 | | Processor: 4 AuthenticAMD AMD A6-3410MX APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics [Family 18 Model 1 Stepping 0]

APU stats in CPU DIE integratet GPU, when there is just ATI GPU 0 listet below.
For this the GPU gets its RAM from the Memory so that it gets reported, smaller than the amount installed, but should add up to the installed amount with the amount of RAM dedicated to the GPU part.
16.12.2011 22:21:21 | | Memory: 7.47 GB physical, 7.47 GB virtual

+ 512MB (GPU) = ~8GB Memory total, the amount installed.

If you watch at Iurii Zaikins first post in this thread the Memory displayed seems to be odd for me the physical smaller than virtual, never seen something like this on my systems. For my systems it is always the same.

@Ageless

Thanks. Tried it and run that 7.0.3 Version doesn't fix it.

Seems that the Opencl param isn't read right, as far as I understand it.
CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_SIZE of the ATI GPU 0 is 512MB and should be read, when I look at GPU Caps Viewer advanced OpenCl Info screen. That should give the right size.

So I should forward it to the mailing list since the Forum states its the wrong place to post the bug? According to your comment there or do I mix something there?

Report any problems you get with it to the Alpha email list. This list needs registration.

Reporting bugs on this forum or any project's forum isn't very productive as the developers simply do not have time to scour through all forums looking for posts with your bug reports in them. While it may happen that we - other volunteers - forward your problem to them, history has shown it is quite difficult being the middle man in this when more information is needed from you. Hence why it's better for all concerned that you report the problem directly to the developers, who will come back directly to you when they need more information or better logs or to tell you that they've checked in a fix for the specific problem.

Hello

Have the same Problem but here the Bonc-client seems to false recognize the max available memory for OpenCL.

since other programs detect it as

device 4 OpenCL name: BeaverCreek
device 4 OpenCL type: GPU
device 4 OpenCL units: 4
device 4 OpenCL max allocable memory: 512MBytes

Where to post this to get it fixed?

Apart of this I think it wold be good to raise the Memory bar for opencl since the most part of graphics card with 512MB do not provide enough free vram to start the WU, to avoid useless Bandwidth usage as long as the WU needs 500MB ram to start.

Hello

I have an AMD Llano system, and it don't want to start the WU.
I have Bionc Client 7.0.2, Windows 7 x64, 11.11 Driver. I have 8GB RAM.

11.12.2011 19:59:39 | | ATI GPU 0: AMD SUPERSUMO (CAL version 1.4.1607, 512MB, 479MB available, 512 GFLOPS peak)
11.12.2011 19:59:39 | | OpenCL: ATI GPU 0: BeaverCreek (driver version CAL 1.4.1607 (VM), device version OpenCL 1.1 AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5 (793.1), 1024MB)
11.12.2011 19:59:39 | | ATI GPU is OpenCL-capable

The Opencl divice lists that the GPU has 1GB RAM. But the WU won't start.
