BOINC PENTATHLON

[JugNut]

Hi Lawry,
Same thing happened to me I went to bed atfter 3am, then woke only recently to find a full cache of Computation error's. The strange thing is they just sat there all night & didn't report.  Also my GPU tasks were still running fine. Anyway I re-started the machine & all seems now well. What I did notice though was the rossetta 64bit science app had to be re-downloaded with the extra WU's. It's my  OC 'd i7 920 running Boinc ver.7.0.26 that "had" (touch wood) the problems. My old pentium D that I use maily only for challenges & AA,s has no such problems. The i7 runs win7 x64 & the PentD runs Win7 32 bit & the same Boinc ver 7.0.26 only 32 bit of coarse.

Not a good look in the middle of a challenge hey??

Anyone know the DL address for Boinc ver. 7.0.27  ?

I seem to have a hoodoo on my main machine, but mainly only during challenges & AA's. As homer would say "doohhh"..



Cheers ..JN..

I am running 7.025 BOINC and the only problem I have had is that Rosetta is not just sending one hour work units.  My work goes from on to four hours and it uses more and more memory as it goes.  On my Q6600 with only 2 Gig Ram it only runs three tasks instead of four.  I have not seen many error but there has been a couple but not many.

Back to WCG soon.

My old e8200 seems to be running fine but I am having that problem on my GF's i5 laptop (win 64bit boinc 7.025). Seems about 50% of them are getting Compute error. Was wonding why I wasn't getting credits.

G'day Jugnut

Thanks Lawry, will give that a crack.

Yea the wheels seem to have fallen off our challenge bid so far don't they?  But it's still early days I suppose.

(looks for old retired p4's in back of cupboard) 


Cheers & Happy crunching ..JN..

PS. Back up 1 position to 16th place..

The majority of my Rosetta tasks are finishing at slightly before or slightly after the 1 hour I set. I had a few this morning though that went for about 2 hours before the watchdog timer stopped them. They used a gigantic amount of memory at times so I aborted with extreme prejudice another 7 of that type, 6 in my cache and 1 that had been running for 7 minutes. They were secY_hybrid ones.

I am still using 6 cores, get a bit of disk thrashing sometimes when I open a browser or do anything, but if I leave it alone it is not too bad. It just depends if I get a batch of the higher memory usage tasks running at the same time. This morning I had one that maxed out at 1.6GB.

Was getting a few that errored after 20 seconds and 3 that errored after 15 minutes but haven't had any error tasks recently.

I have often had trouble with Rosetta over the years, my first BOINC computer had insufficient memory to run it at all, my second computer also could not run it due to excessive error rate and my third current computer has run it successfully in the past but is currently struggling sometimes due to high memory tasks.

The last 2 projects which run concurrently from May 14-19 are QMC@HOME and yoyo@home.

[Dingo]

Not two projects that members normally crunch as seen by the stats.  I guess all we can do is try.

I have my two duel 5800 series ATI GPU's running Collatz as well as running rosetta.  This is where 64 bit and 6 gig of memory works out well, more memory might be even better.

[kashi]

Yes I haven't contributed to either of those projects in a fair while. I'll choose QMC@HOME I think and see if I can get my 475K up to 500K. Can't remember if it processed faster on Windows or Linux. Suppose I'll try a bit of both and see for myself.;D

I have 3 compute errors so far, 2 very short ones under 25 seconds and one at 1,367.49 seconds.

Den.

[JugNut]

Was it just me, or did the forum go down for 12+ hours?

[Dingo]

Yes the data base went down and needed to be rebuilt.

World Community Grid come at me

[Dingo]

Looks like we finished in 18^th place with 120 points overall.  Well done team

I'll second that Dingo.   And when you consider It was all done with as little as 12 - 25 B@A'ers most times, we did great.

Actually, I think we did a flippin awesome job...

Congratz to all..        



Happy Crunching ..JN..
