I'm quite the rookie at this. What is a cpu-z link? This is a screenshot showing the AMD Opteron 6272 identification, from cpu-z:

Also, ver. 1.55 of WPrime doesn't parse the file from a 4 cpu AMD board, correctly, so it fails. WPrime has an updated version, 2.07 which fixes this problem. My concern is that I have been told by my team leader, that the 2.07 version of WPrime, will not be accepted for a submission. So my question is, will WPrime 2.07 be OK to submit results?

here's an example for a cpu-z link.

you get it when you upload a validation file from cpu-z on their site (http://valid.canardpc.com/)


but a screenshot will do also fine for adding the cpu.

no, only wprime v 1.55 is allowed. it should work without problems.
you need to select the number of threads\cores of your system under "advanced settings" in wprime v1.55

Turion, please understand, I spent hours trying to run 1.55, and it does NOT work on a SuperMicro board running 4 AMD Opterons on it.

Not just a few minutes - hours. Of course, I would set it for the right number of cores, but ver. 1.55 never gets that far - crashing before it does anything else. The second screenshot, is the error I always get from WPrime 1.55, before ANYTHING else. There's no chance to set the # of cores up before this happens.

The first pic is the error I get when I try to submit scores - I found out if I wait a while, and then close the error window, the WPrime program window looks good - and works OK it seems. But I always wind up getting the Drunken Robot, when I click on Submit Scores.

Please, help me get past the Drunken Little Robot! Thanks.

the "submit score" button in wprime has no function anmyore. you have to submit it maually on hwbot.

did you try to run wprime with admin rights?
also try holding the "shift" key while wprime 1.55 starts. it should cancel the cpu recognization. looks like there's a problem with it and your os.

[Adak]

Yes, I thought the WPrime program did part of the submission here, and part was done manually. Very sneaky, having a defunct submit button.

Yes, everything was run with admin rights.


Thanks for the help, Turrican. Finally, I believe I've got the way to go forward and finish the submission.
