Still seeing 'Memory Leaks.' Example Result: 569967

we're loooking into this, hopefully in the next couple days we'll have a new binary out to fix the leak. |

we're loooking into this... Thanks. As an aside, does BOINC version make a difference?

we're loooking into this... It looks like almost everyone across the board is getting the same leaked memory, so i'm almost positive the problem is with our code and not with BOINC :) |

Beeing greedy when it comes to memory allocation is no good ;) Here's another one (WU gs_25_1196732896_22224). Application stopped doing anything after completeing 46,9% of WU. Tried halting it manually from BOINC manager and restarting computations, but it failed (I'm using MS Losedows XP - this was reported earlier, as I see). Now it's the same with gs_25_1196732896_22223 - neither it's doing anything, nor it's reporting error. |

Here's another one (WU gs_25_1196732896_22224). Did it say 'Waiting for memory'? I had one today (841720) that 'paused' at about 87% (Usually get around 1.96-2.02 credits @100%, errored credit of 1.74).

Result 1236797:
I think this was brought up in another thread, but I noticed it myself (when I've checked): I have seen WU's reach 100% in the Boinc GUI, then appear to restart at 0.000%, continue for about 5 seconds (up to ~0.15x%), and complete.

Result 1236797: the reason for the WU progress going to 0% briefly is that theres a problem with the application restarting the progress when it moves from calculating the integral of the volume (which is the most computationally intensive part) to calculating the fitness using that integral and all the stars. this should be fixed in the next version. |
