First WU awaiting validation.

Second WU completed & validated against a CUDA device. Good job!

Processing third WU - no square dots on screen.
Memory usage back to 369MB(dedicated), ~38MB(dynamic).

Looks like there may be a problem with initial run.

Scenario 1: Reboot > BOINC > run WU.
Square dots on screen, no driver restart.
Consecutive WU ran fine, with no square dots on screen, no driver restart.

Scenario 2: Reboot > runs some apps > BOINC > run WU.
Will report back tomorrow.

v1.24

The app still corrupts the screen with square dots during the initial start-up.
But there is not driver restart.

Memory usage is 369MB(dedicated), ~39MB(dynamic).

Seems faster.

Will be running consecutive WUs this round using this host.

1st result reported.

2nd WU ran fine without any square dots on screen.
Memory usage is higher.
475MB(dedicated), ~38MB(dynamic).

Using this host.

It's a mobile workstation, i7-820qm, FirePro Mobility 7820 (Juniper-based).
Driver Package: 8.911.3.3-120309a-136336C
Catalyst version: 11.11

I was running POEM++ OpenCL x3 WU on it.
Pause all running WU.
Exit BOINC.

Re-launch BOINC.
Select Albert WU.
Resume

@ ~0.018%, the screen starts to have multi-color square dots
But it continue running.
Pause Albert WU.
Move mouse/window, dots disappear.
Resume Albert WU.
Driver restarts/recover @ ~0.320%.

Pause Albert WU.
Exit BOINC

Restart machine.

Login, launch BOINC.
Resume Albert WU.

No dots, continue run to completion (I hope).

Hope this can be rectified before release.

@Mikie:

Something to check to get BRP-OpenCL working for you:

0] Select all A@H tasks, suspend them.

1] Stop BOINC & don't run anything else

2] Check your environment variable TEMP (TMP), clean up that folder (sort by date, delete old files, etc.)

3] CHKDSK your HDD

4] Turn off Aero

5] Restart and run BOINC

6] Click on an A@H task that wasn't running previously, resume it (to ensure it's a fresh slot)


I'm running Cat-12.1, 5850 (standard, 1GB), Win7-64, a free core dedicated to A@H running task.

Hope it's working for you.

All WUs validated.
v1.19 and v1.20 - running on 5850 (Cypress) and M7820 (Juniper).
Will continue test run again when finished with POEM++ OpenCL WUs.

Good job!
