Folding Forum

I've been folding with SMP client (FAH GPU Tracker v2) for a little over a month now, and these "new" project 10113, 10114 and 10115 assignments give me "EARLY_UNIT_END" error messages and WUs fail.

Here's an example from one of the error logs:

I use the latest FAH GPU Tracker V2 (3.52) with latest clients. I've got zero failed WUs before this.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 5850
Clock speeds are at stock and temps are not too high.

Tried re-installing the FAH GPU Tracker, but it didn't work. I also tried to change -smp 5 flag to -smp 4, but still no result. What next?

Ask, if you need some additional info and thank you!

(Sorry if this is on the wrong area or there's already a topic from this same thing

I'm not sure, but this may be because you're using an odd number of SMP cores. SMP has some problems with odd numbers of cores on certain WUs.

I am using the SMP client with 6 cores on an AMD 1090 processor with 4 GB RAM under Windows7-64bit. I've only had problems with one other WU and it had been flagged as "bad" already.

Suggestions?

Welcome to the F@H Forum Rick,

You mean to say that you get this error when using the -smp flag? Are you using -smp X flag? If so, what is the vaule of X? If you're unsure of the value, please post your FAHlog's first section as shown here (viewtopic.php?p=160884#p160884).

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:58 am**

Craptor, this is probably the same problem with prime numbers of threads. See the topic Bruce mentioned above.

Rick, your problem with the 605x and 606x may be different. Suggest you follow PantherX suggestion to post logs but would recommend a new topic for them. Looking forward to your logs.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 10:39 pm**

Well, I tried again with -smp 4 and now it works, so the problem was clearly with prime numbers of threads.

Thank you, bruce and HendricsSA.

Well spotted but if thats the case then it must be specific to these WU as it has folded everything else just fine. Its back up and running now with a 6041 so i will see how it goes, i've put it back to stock clocks (3.2) for now and i will reapply the overclock thursday. I'll also remove the double -smp switch. T
he error code indicated a memory problem but that has never been overclocked.

Yea I am having the same problem with -smp 7, when I switch to -smp 8 it will fold without any issues.

Yea I got that, but rather they have a fix for this so I can keep using -smp 7 instead of dropping down to -smp 6.

No, that is why I am here hoping a fix can be made.

Maybe even a warning so more people would know, since its probably not noticeable unless you check a work history log like the one HFM has.
