New application versions as

New application versions as of today:
Linux running on an AMD x86_64 or Intel EM64T CPU 2.07 (GW-opencl-ati)
Microsoft Windows running on an AMD x86_64 or Intel EM64T CPU 2.07 (GW-opencl-ati)

Hi, does not work for

Hi,

does not work for me.

it was approaching 100% asymptotically. It was at 50% after 10 Minutes, 99% after about an hour and 99,997% after 2:10 when I stopped it.

Tried it on 2 R9-280x

Hi! Your GPU is not compatible with this current GW GPU application. R9 280X has GCN 1.0 architecture.

I think it hasn't been officially announced that GCN 1 isn't compatible, but that reality has been observed by users with GCN 1.0 cards. We haven't seen a single successful run yet with this kind of GPU and app combination.

At least some of the GCN 2 generation GPUs are compatible with the currrent GW GPU app... and newer generation cards are. In addition, the requirement for VRAM is 2GB at minimum.

On my RX 570 (Win7 64-bit), running one at a time, I see a reduction in CPU usage and power, with a corresponding lengthening of the run times.  Is the data different?  Does it solve a problem?  My card was already running cool enough.

That's unfortunate, but thank you for the information. It is working great otherwise on FGRP under Windows and Linux.

So I stick with that.

Validate errors have been

Validate errors have been accumulating today for tasks that my hosts received today. About 35 errors for them currently and 50 in total. Until yesterday there was only 5 validate errors in total. But it looks I'm not alone. For example

This forum was where i found

This forum was where i found out about my 2 GPU's ( GCN 1.0 architecture. Radeon HD-7970M with 2GB operating at 850 MHZ) was not compatible anymore ... with 2 months of nothing but failures it was frustrating trying to find out if it was my computer ...drivers etc ...stopping and starting again .... re setting the project ...

This should be announced from the pulpit about this ....  front and centre that this architecture is not longer compatible with the new runs and not even try it  .... not be found in the back of a forum after 26 pages....!!!!!
