One of the workers is on its second consecutive DC. That doesn't sound like a "from time to time" reality check.

In fact, getting that second straight DC was the event that triggered my posting here -- because it could no longer be viewed as merely an occasional deviation from the setting.

I think this has been covered, but have you made sure that the PrimeNet CPU>Computer Properties page agrees with Prime95 Test>Worker Windows? This should be part of the "change-and-change-back" procedure Aaron mentioned above.

This was important for my setup, after I decided to treat the FX-8350 as properly a quad-core instead of an octo-core. With each integer pair and its respective FPU set as a worker, P95 sees four [U]Worker Windows[/U], but PrimeNet still sees eight [U]Worker Threads. [/U]On P95 this shows as-
[LIST=1][*]DC[*]LL[*]DC[*]DC[/LIST]On PrimeNet it looks like-
[LIST=1][*]DC[*]LL[*]DC[*]DC[*]DC[*]DC[*]DC[*]DC[/LIST]In this case, I don't think the settings for THREADS 5-8 have any effect.

Sorry if I am repeating, but this situation seems really persistent, so I am going all Help Desk on you. :smile:

To the Help Desk: :wink:

Just checked the Computer Properties page in PrimeNet as you suggested. There are four worker threads, all set to do "LL first test" work; and the percentage of "DC instead of LL" is at zero.

Is there anything else I should be looking for?

Thanks very much! :tu:

Hi Rodrigo,

I am afraid that is the best I can do. It seems you have things covered, but the assignments contradict that.

Yeah, the DC assignments it got may have just been a result of those workers being set to "get whatever makes sense" and getting a 20% chance of DC assignments.

They should be okay now and we'll know for sure next time they request more work.

All in all though, a few double checks here and there is a good thing. It helps with the DC work and also gives us an idea of how reliable the system is long before anyone starts double-checking your work. :smile:

Yeah, I'm OK with the occasional DCs for that reason. What [B]is[/B] puzzling, though, is that I never did have that computer set to do "whatever makes the most sense," it was always set to do first-time LL tests.

Anyway, I changed the settings back and forth as instructed and hopefully that'll take care of it. I'll report back if the next assignment or two are still not LLs.
