When corrupted results get validated...
Richard Haselgrove:
Thanks. I've now set it to run live on the main project - host 2901600. No problem fetching work - just a shortlist for the moment, because (a) I run a short cache, and (b) DCF hasn't settled yet - still estimating three hours!
All those pseudo -9s that we started this thread with will have driven DCF way low. I think we may have encountered another of BOINC's safety features - IIRC BOINC cuts down on work fetch if DCF ever gets into 'insane' territory, either high or low. There's a lot of very sound engineering practice in the original BOINC design, but I fear we're in danger of losing it with all these hurried, on-the-fly, bodges to cope with evovling technologies like GPUs.
Raistmer:
Yeah, life too fast to properly think about it, BOINC not escaped this :) But some block with fast reaction time to stop invalid overflows would be good thing IMO.
They damage project in too many ways.

Already got a wingmate to add to Claggy's list:
Pieter hostid=5431046 NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (1005MB) driver: 19745
Host created today, downloaded 564 tasks, got two of them to validate at 0.01 credits, I'm too depressed to look-see how many pages-full he's wasted.

220 pending, 2 validated, all teensie claims.
One of the two "valid" is good evidence, text captures attached as WU619984348.7z, also attaching text captures for paired 4xx case noted by Sutaru as WU619465291.7z.

Richard Haselgrove:
A cuda_fermi application, v6.10, was loaded about 30 minutes ago. No-one will have any WUs yet, of course, because the splitters haven't been restarted.
I'd prefer not to test the stock download process myself if I can avoid it, because I'm rigged with an app_info and still have some VLARs waiting for optimised CPU handling. But if we could keep an eye on Claggy's list, and see if the Fermis start producing valid work, that would be good news.
