New core21 0.0.18 with NVIDIA bug workaround released!
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:55 pm
We are pleased to announce the release of core 21 v0.0.18 to full FAH.
This release contains a workaround for a change made in the NVIDIA OpenCL driver introduced in drivers starting with 375.57, as well as some improvements to error handling codes.
While a slight reduction in performance may be observed for those with NVIDIA cards, this performance regression should be eliminated when NVIDIA removes the hotfix in forthcoming driver updates.
There is a known issue that this release will, for some projects, print sporadic messages to the log due to a known visualizer bug:
05:34:52:WARNING:FS01:Size of positions 64914 does not match topology 19
This issue does not affect the quality of the science, and a workaround is already in testing for v0.0.19, which we hope to release in a week.
Thank you all for your patience.
