I don't know if anyone's ever seen this before, but I certainly haven't, and frankly, I've seen a lot of Folding@home error messages:

Anyone know what to do with this? I got this after I changed affinity from -smp 8 to -smp 6. Closed client with Ctrl+C, edited client.cfg, restarted client. I'd guess it to be a corruption of some kind, but I haven't done anything different this time from all the other times that I did this, and I never got this error.

Thoughts?
 
I don't know what caused it, but is it working now? Also, you'll probably want to update your core to 2.22.
 
Yeah, it's working. The problem is that I need to run at -smp 6 whenever I use the computer, mostly because it's faster at -smp 6 than at -smp 8 when in use, and for some reason loading the CPU with the CPU client fully wreaks havoc with audio quality, so whenever I game, watch a movie, listen to music, etc. I change it on average maybe 4 times a day, if this happened even 10% of the time it would be rather annoying.

EDIT: As for 2.22, I just deleted and restarted the client now. I read about a performance boost, how much exactly? And is it for normal SMP as well as bigadv?
 
yeah thats usually what i do but i do it the quick and dirty way i just leave the task manager minimized.. bring it up, change the affinity and done..

When I changed cores I saw a 6014 go from 22k to 28k ppd. Now for the disclaimer: Your results may vary depending on your system and the workunit.

This discussion reminds me I that I need to update cores on the Thuban box...

No, I mean change the actual client affinity. Because for some bloody stupid reason running -smp 8 in 6 threads is about half as fast as running -smp 6.
