SETI@home News Vol. 113 (22/08/2010)
- Thread starter TheTross
- Start date
Tried the reboot, but still trashing units,
brand new 460 aswell, cant quite figure out whats wrong with it, as it plays games perfectly, so i have put my 260 back in and that works fine with WU's funny thing is my 260 gives corruption in crysis. 
Tried the reboot, but still trashing units,
Forgive me for not reading past history,
When you installed the 460 - did you detach from seti and reattach?
The 460 willnot work with optimised apps or the standard seti apps.
You have to dettach/reattach so that seti downloads the correct app for Fermi.
Hope this helps.
At the other side of the outage it will be time for the next one so better put this up now
Nice one Mr Halz sah
Wouldn't give it a second thought Grimgoth, am waiting till servers come back up friday then both machines will be out all weekend for a clean/tidy and a mobo change.Will be trying to flog some bits n bobs in the meantime too so i cant see outputting much at all for 3 days ......groan

Wouldn't worry too much....your pending should take care of things
Mr Toxic
Your time has almost come. I will be e-mailing a copy of my GPU error cleaning script on Thursday. I have finally got the last two chunks of code in (after two hours of staring at a screen to find 1 typo')! I will spend this evening tidying up the logging. Tomorrow, I am working two shifts, so I may get the script to you then but it is more likely to be late PM on Thursday as I still have to type up some instructions for you.
In the meantime, can you get yourself over to: http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads
and download and install the windows perl interpreter. You can just accept all the defaults for the installation. What machine will you be running this on (OS, GPU and S@H wise)?

Evening Area51!
Downloading now, will be using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit edition gtx480 and seti 6.10.58
Well, that'll be the first acid test - a Fermi card! The code should handle that fine. All we will need is for you to generate some -12 or a -529697949 errors. This script handles just those two error types at the moment. I am wrestling with my brain to figure out -177 aborts. Having had a 'true' -177 abort with a real run-a-way task, I know I can't make assumptions about how to handle them. But I do have a plan!
It doesn't matter how long it takes for you to generate errors - honest! You don't even have to know if you've generated them. The idea is that the script is run just prior to upload - it then tells you if you've got any GPU errors it can fix, and re-assign to the CPU. I will be including a doco' that describes the intended method of operation etc. etc. The script is quite 'chatty' - this is more to help me find any problems it may have.
I will be writing a second far simpler bulk cleaning script for when people need to clean up a big FUBAR - perhaps by over-cooking an OC, or like you, when a shed load of -177's turn up because the server had a headache when it tried to figure out how long it was going to take to complete a task etc. This is a much simpler thing, as I just have to identify the screwed tasks, and re-set them back to their 'normal' values. However, for now, we will stick with this first script and see how we go.
Once you have finished the PERL install, you need to open a command line prompt. Do:
Start | All Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt
Then, type:
perl -v
You should get some blurb about 'This is perl v5.10.1' ..... etc. If you get this, you're "OK to go" (where did that come from?
)!!! Anyway, thanks for agreeing to test this, and if you don't get the perl message as described above, just let me know!
Message recieved and understood - Contact of course
There will be some juicy bits and bobs on mm in next few days - psychic
