21) Message boards : News : Bad Runs Put Up Over The Weekend (Message 66493) Posted 29 Jun 2017 by TimeRanger Post: I am getting about 40% of my tasks going "Validation Inconclusive". None of them are the dreaded "PS" series. The troubling part is that as on now very, VERY few of them are being re-sent to other crunchers. My backlog goes back to 22JUNE
22) Message boards : News : Scheduled Maintenance Concluded (Message 65784) Posted 14 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: Is there any objection to this plan? Thank you all for being great. Jake No objections .. its just going to take me a while to burn through the ones I currently have in my stash - which are sharing a core with a CPU unit
23) Message boards : News : Scheduled Maintenance Concluded (Message 65759) Posted 13 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: Im getting a mixed bag of completions - both CPU and GPU. However, it seems that most of the tasks assigned as GPU are actually being completed and given credit for CPU. Not a single task has been completed as GPU in the last 12 hours. Also, since the 1.42s started showing up, my RAC count is falling EDIT - I just went back through my Completed tasks - both Valid and Inconclusive ... the LAST task that was actually GPU completed was with v1.39. I have zero GPU completed tasks with v1.42
24) Message boards : News : Scheduled Maintenance Concluded (Message 65699) Posted 12 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: The 1.42s are working for me. However, even though they are taking up to 3 times as long to complete, (both GPU and CPU) the Credit applied is the same as the previous version - 1.39?
25) Message boards : News : Scheduled Maintenance Concluded (Message 65656) Posted 11 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: So far, just 2 GPU tasks run, both ending in the same error Name de_modfit_fast_19_3s_136_bundle5_ModfitConstraints3_3_1478890414_1757_0 Workunit 1387184642 Created 11 Nov 2016, 19:18:59 UTC Sent 11 Nov 2016, 19:19:01 UTC Report deadline 23 Nov 2016, 19:19:01 UTC Received 11 Nov 2016, 19:24:53 UTC Server state Over Outcome Computation error Client state Compute error Exit status -1073741515 (0xffffffffc0000135) Unknown error number Computer ID 576462 Run time For some reason, my "stash" was 112 tasks, now revised to just 80, and not getting any CPU work

Good luck and have a cold one ready for when you finish ;) If everything goes as planned - +-1 hour, I hope he has a LOT of cold ones ready for the balance of the allotted time! :)
27) Message boards : News : Scheduled Maintenance Friday November 11th (Message 65632) Posted 9 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: Jake, any idea on how long the maintenance will take? Maybe you can increase the number of tasks we can have in our stash to keep us busy during the down time?
28) Message boards : Number crunching : Tasks vs WUs (Message 65624) Posted 9 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: Thanks w8 .. I got it now!
29) Message boards : Number crunching : Tasks vs WUs (Message 65622) Posted 8 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: A Workunit is a combination of a program (executable) and a particular set of data. When a single Workunit is sent to one or many user's, these are called Tasks. So, each Workunit can consist of many tasks. Depending of the Project (Milkyway, etc.), when all of the completed tasks are returned, the Project might analyze all of the task results to determine what the "answer" is for the Workunit. so, there is no set number such as 1000 WUs per Task?
30) Message boards : Number crunching : Tasks vs WUs (Message 65620) Posted 8 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: This might be a silly question, but in reviewing the Server Status page, I see the terms TASKS and WORKUNITS listed. What it the correlation or ratio between the 2? TIA
31) Message boards : Number crunching : Validation Pending? (Message 65594) Posted 5 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: I'm back up to nearly 1500 WUs pending again.
32) Message boards : Number crunching : Validation Pending? (Message 65589) Posted 3 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: my VP count is now down to less than 50! Great work Jake!!!
33) Message boards : Number crunching : > 60 Tasks (Message 65576) Posted 2 Nov 2016 by TimeRanger Post: I haven't had any problems obtaining GPU units, but lately my stash of CPU units has been running dry quite frequently
34) Message boards : Number crunching : Can I stop getting multi cpu units? (Message 65566) Posted 30 Oct 2016 by TimeRanger Post: I'm guessing that the multi-CPU units are N-Body? If so, you can opt out of those in your Preferences
35) Message boards : Number crunching : Validation Pending? (Message 65520) Posted 23 Oct 2016 by TimeRanger Post: Just wondering if anyone else has a large number of WUs awaiting Validation? My current count is 1975, and the Server page shows over 3 million units waiting?
36) Message boards : News : Updated Server Daemons and Libraries (Message 65487) Posted 19 Oct 2016 by TimeRanger Post: I'm getting GPUs ok, but zero CPU units for the past few hours
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Out Of Work? (Message 65486) Posted 19 Oct 2016 by TimeRanger Post: I am getting plenty of GPU work .. zero for CPU
38) Message boards : News : Updated Server Daemons and Libraries (Message 65417) Posted 10 Oct 2016 by TimeRanger Post: 3 different times last night/early AM today, the project could not connect to the server - even the homepage was scrambled eggs. Then, when it DID connect, it would upload everything that was completed, but may only download 3 or 4 WUs instead of replenishing the entire number needed.
39) Message boards : News : MilkyWay@home Down (Message 65263) Posted 25 Sep 2016 by TimeRanger Post: Started getting CPU units late yesterday, but now the finished units wont upload and no new units of either kind are downloading.

40) Message boards : Number crunching : Out Of Work? (Message 65259) Posted 25 Sep 2016 by TimeRanger Post: I failed to mention that I am running only GPU work units. Sorry for the confusion. Seems like there is a shortage of them. So I started doing CPU work units in addition to the GPU ones. When I did that, My work queue filled up normally. Happy day! I can't get any CPU units - only GPU, and not many of those! Nearly all of my "inconclusive" results have not been resent either?
