    PS3grid Tales

    There is an ongoing problem with Win64 and PS3grid. It seems there is a memory leak (somewhere...), which after anywhere from a few days to a week or so, will cause the GPU wu's to fail. The solution to date is to re-boot the machine (early and often).

    I missed my scheduled re-boot the other day, and so lost the ability to crunch for about a day. The loss of time is due to the daily limit of 6 (or is it 8??) wu's per cpu, which I errored out in around 2 minutes....due to the memory leakage thingy. So I had to wait 24 hours for new wu's...

    Why not just put your effort into a project that doesn't limit the work downloaded?????

    Win XP Pro SP3 (32bit) BOINC 6.3.21

    Today after a re-boot I get every task erroring out with "Computation error"
    The message log shows an output file is absent.

    I've suspended GPUGrid until they sort this mess out.

    Cool

    Time to do some ps3 Guitar Hero World tour crunching in place of grid for a bit. Fresh from Bestbuy today.
