hipro5 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 What's going on with this benchie?...... I was benching it a month ago or so and everything was fine (well I could say fine DISPITE the thing that when you submit it online because you CAN'T save it and submit it afterwards - you get a wrong - and DISPITE that you HAVE to put MUNUAL some things in it AFTER you have submit it online)..... A couple of days ago, I re-ran it and I got an "INVALID" score...... I used the EXACT SAME setup and the same HD ......... I HAVEN'T touched anything in my HD since then........I got a month ago a valid bench and now NOT?..... I then RE-DOWNLOAD it from the site...I re-ran it and I got AGAIN that "INVALID" crap..... I then told gprhellas to run it......He ALSO got an "INVALID" score.....He ALSO re-download it and re-run it and re-got an "INVALID" score..... Are we going to be serius some time with this benchie or not?..... WTF is going on with it?.... Shall we keep benching it OR leave it away?.... Shall we spent our hours and our money (electricity/LN2/etc) with it or shall we QUIT it?....... Is it SO BUGGY?...... I'm all ears.....

Massman Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Checksum error, I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipro5 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Which means?....... ......cuz a month ago I wasn't getting those "checksum errors" as you say........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 There have been some updates on the hwbot engine, so it might be that the checksum calculator has a bug in it. I'm sure RB will check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I like wPrime, but how can it be so hard to keep a checksum validation mechanism bug-free? I hope someone would spend a little time, trying to make a version that works 100% so there will be no more discussion;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well, 2 reasons: - both are developped by a different hobyist programmer, in a different language, using an api that hasn't been tested professionaly - there's no contract between hwbot and wprime. If a bug appears, we don't fix it asap but as soon as we have ample spare time. That being said, is the problem still persistent? I think i fixed it last night.

hipro5 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 That being said, is the problem still persistent? I think i fixed it last night. I'll tell gprhellas to test it cuz I don't have much time to bench lately.....Or I'll do a test at 3GHz to see if it's OK..... Thanks richba5tard.....

Massman Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=748131 It works for me :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gprhellas Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 So the rules are change? Validation in no longer mandatory? If yes please remove it for this two bench. please inform us. thanks (@No Name Sorry but the rules are for everyone...) http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=749492 http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=749452 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 No, no_name's submissions are valid according to our rules: http://www.hwbot.org/benchmark.application.info.do?applicationId=15&name=wPrime%201024m#rules Checksum validation is required for top 20, he is in top 50. Below top 20 a valid screenshot suffices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below top 20 a valid screenshot suffices. Then why did you deleted gprhellas' points from wPrime bench he had uploaded a week ago, when it was lebeled as "invalid" due to hwbot problems?.....

richba5tard Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Because if you have a checksum, it must be valid. It's sucky we had technical issues last week. : / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxi Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Did he save a result file hipro? If so, he should be able to submit now and be valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gprhellas Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 you can see it as an excuse to bench harder :ws: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwww Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 The loading files bug occurred when the hex representation of the checksum had leading zeros (was fixed in v1.58), I feel that this might be occurring upon submission as well. Basically, wPrime doesn't send leading zeros in the checksum, this caused problems in the load/save feature as there were exactly 8 bytes allocated for the checksum, and required a new version to fix. If when comparing checksums, adding leading 0s when comparing should fix the problem. Feel free to e-mail me direct at walter@wprime.net with any problems.

jurek Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 or maybe ver 1.58 should be allowed lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
