To match the ATi thread already started.

I'll start it off with workunit 4133491

I bench-tested that task overnight, and found a mis-matched best gaussian at lines 850/851 - the same weak similarity with every cuda application I tried:

Lunatics_x41g_win32_cuda32.exe
Lunatics_x41zb_win32_cuda32.exe
Lunatics_x41zb_win32_cuda42.exe
setiathome_6.98_windows_intelx86__cuda42.exe

Reference app was setiathome_6.98_windows_intelx86.exe, so an equivalent test to the inconclusive live run.

It would be interesting if somebody could run that task on an ATI card.

Edit - here's that best gaussian:

Can you post me the Stock 6.98 reference please, and I'll run the Wu on my HD7770

Edit: Bench is now running with r1643

I'll start it off with workunit 4133491

The WU has now been validated by a third user - all three tasks are OK.

I should have checked earlier - there are no reportable gaussians in the result. So does it make sense for the validator to check for the best of none?

This question was answered as "yes" for MB on design time and as "no" for AP :)

Here http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/workunit.php?wuid=4178828 inconclusive between CPU 6.98 stock and cuda32.
CUDA res not overflowed so maybe worth analyse.

CUDA:

Autocorr count: 1
Pulse count: 5
Triplet count: 0
Gaussian count: 0

CPU:

An anonymous wingmate with a laptop CPU and a desktop GPU, who has aborted most of his or her tasks? The omens aren't good, but I'll give it a bench.

Both hosts are anonymous, never a good start for troubleshooting.

But when one host in a validation pair gets 'result overflow' (in this case, the ATI), and the other doesn't, then usually the overflow is a host problem.

These are all running the Cuda 6.98 apps, and not the Bug fixed Cuda 6.99 apps,

Yes, that's why I write in 6.987 and not in 6.99 thread ;)
BTW, my host has many CUDA tasks... but all 6.98 and no 6.99 at all :/

Both wingmen are on 6.98 cuda.
I hope this is fixed in 6.99.
Sad no result print in stderr still.

I doubt it, all three results found 30 Autocorrections, the problem is the CPU and GPU apps do their searches in slightly different orders, so find different signals in these edge cases,
