    One thing that seems to be missing is an update of the "Estimated app speed" supplied by the servers for the new app...

    In my case the BRP 1.28 on the 560Ti host leads to a DCF of 0.8 while the S6LV1 leads to a DCF of 1.7... I know that the speeds are some kind of predefined averages but AFAIK is still using the speed of the previous version...
    With the DCF varying so much BOINC asks for more CPU work every time I finish a BRP task causing (I guess) unneeded extra load on the schedullers/download servers...

          Gettin alot of computation errors on the BRP4 1.28 packets. Any ideas?

          I also see alot of this in my logs... :

          Hi William

          I'll start this by saying that as long as you got you computers hidden anyone who would like to help you with this problem has to work a bit extra for the diagnosis, but thanks to the log you posted I could take the hostid and locate the records for that host anyway.

          Here is a link to host 5848606 for anyone else that's interested

          To get the real error for these task go to you account, click on tasks and the click on a task name.
          Here is the error from one of your tasks:

          7.0.28

          - exit code -1073741515 (0xc0000135)

          ]]>

          I suggest reading through this thread over in the Cruncher's Corner section of the forum.

            Works fine once I downgraded. Even though GPU processing performance went down to the 500Gflops range...

              AFAIK, that value is not a measured benchmark. BOINC gets that value doing some maths based on the model of the GPU and other things...
              I guess that, the difference is just because the old version use a different formula, probably because your GPU was not available when that version of BOINC was released... Or because htey find it was wrong and improoved them in new versions... or something alike...

                Request for help/information:

                Does anybody here have any experience of running the opencl-ati application (any version) under a Windows ATI driver in the range 11.7-11.11 inclusive?

                Those are the drivers with APP OpenCL runtime support - misleadingly called 'SDK' by AMD - version 2.5

                I know those drivers are unpopular with AMD users, because that runtime uses the CPU inefficiently, but they still crop up sometimes. I'm getting reports from another project that not only are they inefficient, they can also cause science errors in an application running under BOINC. Could one of the mods/scientists tell if there are any indications of invalidated tasks in the database like that?

                    I had a look at our DB and we currently don't have anyone (yep, zero that is) using those driver versions crunching OpenCL tasks on a Microsoft OS.

                    The only OpenCL numerical stability issue I can remember right now are the native_sin/native_cos functions causing a lot of invalid results on 69xx Radeons for instance. These functions are hardware-dependent and the 69xx series seems to be very "bad" in this regard. Beware, Apple's FFT sample does use these functions...

                    Sorry,
