This unit was acquired by one of my pcs today and keeps failing - see below for log file. To date there have not been any issues with the pc regarding unstable machine and the heat is now much lower than last week. Also this pc is set with flag "-smp" so I would not normally expect it to acquire a 8014 unit although I do not profess to be an expert on Folding.

Similar thing has happened to another pc running an i7 cpu with same smp settings at about same time.

Can anyone explain / advise whether its my systems or faulty units. Can I get round this by removing smp until units complete or am I just barking at the moon.

Thanks

8014 is processed by the A4 core which can run either as an uniprocessor or SMP. So it should have been able to run as smp 4 with your settings. Which version of the folding client are you using, that was not included in your log clip? Why it did not run as SMP, I can not say from what I see in the log. There is no report yet on this WU in the database.

In the log file I see old client V6.29:

To work correctly (all cores) I think should be client V6.34.

Calling 'mpiexec - something very old

Must have v6.34 or newer for SMP. http://folding.typepad.com/news/2011/11 ... a-fix.html

Thanks Gents. Looks as though both using 6.29 so will try and upgrade over weekend.

Update Sat 11.30 - both now updated and running. One still doing an 8014 but going through 1% every 55 secs at moment.
