details on today's GPU2/CPU update? [v6.23]

[eliot1785]

I noticed that the GPU2 software was just updated to v6.23 today. What are the changes? I am still running 6.20r1 with the special NVIDIA viewer.

Some EUE reporting (backported from the SMP client) and communication timeout fixes.

Thanks for the info!

Do we have a new 6.23 GPU2 client replacing the 6.20r ???
What are the advantages and improvements???

I just noticed the change, and did not see another thread about it, sorry if there is one I missed.

I have noticed that with the New GPU projects 5749-5764 I get some EUE's again, and I am wondering if maybe an upgrade to the new client would be in order.
TIA and Happy Thnksgiving.





Peace

Just an observation - was having much difficulty with the 6.20 GPU version on a laptop - fouled cores, locking up, even to the point where it would shut down the computer - downloaded the 6.23 console version - simplest download and setup ever since I've joined. Up to now, running well.

BTW possibly my favorite change has been the shift in measuring progress from frames/second to ns/day. It's more meaningful, at least to me.

The new client seems to run a bit smoother on my computer (which has an nVIDIA card, and I am using the special nVIDIA viewer), which I noticed when using the viewer.

Like others, I am getting a lot more UNSTABLE_MACHINE errors and errors during GuardedRun now than I was previously, though my guess is that has more to do with the core and/or WU's than the client. This is a laptop also running SMP, so it is possible that I could have insufficient voltage issues.

Yes, it's the core, and it's a known issue that is getting a lot of attention.

Cool. Yep, no complaints here, I just haven't been browsing the forums much recently so I thought I'd mention it. Overall I've been quite impressed with the recent GPU2 developments!
