In the last day I've been getting a number of "error while computing" WUs on all my machines. All other machines are failing these same WUs. Here's an example:

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=20534102

Unfortunately the server clears out finished WU info quick. Can you post the name for these WU's? It should start with "de_separation" or "de_nbody." Thanks.

i just got two of them:

de_separation_10_3s_free_2_423122_1305301520_0

the stderr log is the following:

Some of the bad WUs I've gotten on several machines, all failing. They fail on every machine they're sent to.

It's getting worse...

I've also some error WU's...

---

I'm going to shut down the "de_separation_10_3s_free_2..." runs. It may take a bit the remaining WUs to filter out of the system.

Yep the bad WUs are still coming. So far have had 93+ of these error out today. Unfortunately they error at the end and a few have even "gotten stuck" and run for hours instead of the usual few minutes.

Me too...

Thanks. Problem is, the "de_separation_17_3s_fix_5" WUs are worse. Not only do they fail but they sometimes run for hours, tying up the GPU :(

Just aborted one that had been running 1 hour 45 mins on one of my 5870s...

I've had several fail the same way as previously mentioned here. Aborted the rest and, for now at least, it appears that de_separation ones have stopped downloading.

One's account only goes back 1 or two WU's I've noticed so it's difficult to check for a pattern.

This is ridiculous...now de_nbody_orphan_test_2model_4_50204_1305471400_1 failed and one before that. I've aborted another one since and am turning off the work fetch until someone sorts this mess out.

Where do you find these STDERR logs? I cant find them in the BOINC folder or in 'My Documents'

---

32bit Windows XP Home
AMD Opteron 180
ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard
Nvidia 450GTS GPU
4GB DDR Memory

You'll find it in the Boinc Data-Dir
For Win xp the standard is
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC

Where do you find these STDERR logs? I cant find them in the BOINC folder or in 'My Documents'

For individual WU Stderr's go to: Account Page - click Computers - click Tasks [of the PC you are interested in] - look for the Task Column on the Top Left - go to the WU you are interested in - click the blue number - your there.

Stderr only shows for individual WUs when work has been done - or failed :)
