[QUOTE=chris2be8;301231]If code behaves differently on Linux and Windows the first thing to check is that lines end with crlf on Windows and lf on Linux. Try running unix2dos against the config file on Linux and see what happens.

Thanks, that's an excellent suggestion. I'll go do that now.
Edit: Sadly, it still worked fine. I'll run it through the debugger though.

Starting M25994671 fft length = 1474560[/code]

got a big performance increase with 2.02. 4.1 with my gtx 680
on a 65xxxxxx exponent
2.01 gives me 7.6ms/iteration
this version 6.6ms/itereation

was that expected???

I didn't change a thing math-wise. Perhaps you chose a better FFT length? Edit: Could be new drivers, the 680 is still rather new. Or, if previously you were using arch>=2.0 but are now using arch=1.3, you might see some performance gains.

PS: Are you in Windows, and if so, does it crash for you like above?

Keep in mind that numberOfElements is the size of the destination buffer, not the number of characters you wish to copy as it is in strncpy().

[QUOTE]If strDestination or strSource is a null pointer, [B]or if the destination string is too smal[/B]l, the invalid parameter handler is invoked as described in Parameter Validation. [/QUOTE]

What is the length of the destination string you're passing in from this call, and how long is the source string :

strcopy(assignment->assignment_key,ptr,1+(strstr(ptr,",")-ptr) ); // copy the comma..

You can add a check in strcopy to see the problem in Linux. Print n and strlen(src) and then dereference a NULL pointer if n is smaller. You'll see a crash in basically the same place as you would on Windows.

Or just use strncpy() in Windows as well as Linux, and add in the dest[n-1] = '\0'; line recommended earlier.

Makes sense. Like you pointed out, I was thinking it would stop after n chars.

Btw, sorry about being so snippety in my first reply :razz: For whatever reason in my version of the file that line is 269, not 23x, so I had no idea what you were talking about. Thanks though for the pointer (:lol:! ...On that note, it's quite fun to increment a char pointer named "C"... :smile:)

Okay, let's test this ASAP. I've upped the version to 2.03, pending confirmation of bug destroyed. While this has been going on, I've still been fiddling with the code here and there, in platform-independent manners, and it works here, but of course testing still required.

By the way, if this was in fact the bug, then something like "Test=25994671" should have worked just fine. Did anybody try something like that, or just a valid expo with >=2 commas?

(Again, the included .ini should be shipped with all binaries :smile:)

Edit: ToDo list:
1) Clean up FFT selection. Before the bug was reported I had made some progress in this front, and it should turn out easier than I had first thought.
2) To complement that, get exponent-by-exponent FFT specification ability, again probably via some field in the worktodo.txt line. Any ideas on how to actually do that? (The way Prime95 does it is kind of a pain in the butt to parse.)
3) If anyone would like a different way of determining whether or not there is an assignment key other than by comma count, please let me know.

Yick, printf formatting. The current formatter is "%3.4g" for the error; if I understand correctly, "%4.4g" will create a minimum field with of 4, with a maximum width of 4 for g. Will test now, hopefully can edit into previous post.

Edit: Well, that didn't work, but changing from g to f worked, so now the iteration time and round off share the same formatting of "%4.4f". Edited into previous post.

Edit3: Well, I missed the ETA portion of your comments. That one's kind of harder, because the number of fields changes. Do you mean that with 25 minutes left, you want it to read "ETA 00:25:42", padded with the zeros? Voilà le current code.

I may talked to early... I am getting random "caught. Writing checkpoint." without pressing any ctrl c (and the mesage is not "^C caught.", just "caught."), and in case I get it to the end without any interruption, it will always "cannot move tmp workfile to regular workfile" and crash. Subsequent launches can't find worktodo (which is now __woktodo).

Sheesh. That's a lot of crap. (That " caught..." is because "^C^C caught..." looked silly to me, but it looks silly now without the ^C...) I don't know what could possibly be signalling the program, but that's what it looks like.

The way CUDALucas (and mfaktc, from which its derived) clear assignments is by writing all the assignments except the one to be cleared to "__worktodo__.tmp", and then overwrite the regular work file with that.

[URL="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/rename.html"]rename()[/URL] is a standard C library function. There's not much I can do to debug it. I hate to say it because it feels like ducking out, but that looks like OS issues...? I dunno. I can't do much about [URL="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/signal.html"]signal()[/URL] and rename(). The signal() code is identical to previous versions of CUDALucas except for the string printed.

well, the temp file is just "__worktodo.tmp". No "__" at the end. I did not look in the source yet (no time!) but are you sure you use the same name in both directions? :razz:

Definitely sounds like an OS issue. I really did copy and paste as much of it as possible, only removing the parts referring to bit levels and whatnot. The rest is identical.
