OK I've turned on work fetch again but there are no WU's to download a.t.m. They take while, almost to the completion stage in some cases then suddenly the status changes to 'Computation failed' & progress zips to 100% and all I can do is update to get rid of them.. Peter Toronto, Canada |

Computation failed. the weird thing is that the log doesn't say that, it says merely that it finished. Weird. http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?userid=113796 Task 40402230 Name de_nbody_orphan_test_2model_4_8136_1306428741_0 Workunit 28100536 Created 26 May 2011 | 16:52:23 UTC Sent 26 May 2011 | 17:05:36 UTC Received 26 May 2011 | 17:11:10 UTC Server state Over Outcome Computation error Client state Compute error Exit status -1073741511 (0xffffffffc0000139) Computer ID 281790 Report deadline 3 Jun 2011 | 17:05:36 UTC Run time 3.00 CPU time 0.00 Validate state Invalid Credit 0.00 Application version MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation v0.40 (mt) Stderr output <core_client_version>6.12.26</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> - exit code -1073741511 (0xc0000139) </message> ]]> Peter Toronto, Canada |

I see now that it's vanished from the work unit progress page here, why do they delete them so quickly? It serves no purpose except perhaps drive us insane. I now have subsequent units in progress, so far so good, and those are all that now show there. So unless you caught the above post yesterday and took a look I'm afraid you are out of luck.

They delete them so quickly to reduce load on the database server. It had been totally overwhelmed ever since the ATIs entered service here. With the recent move to file-less crunching there might be more headroom again.. but I guess they don't want to touch what finally works. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 |

Computation error since app update in April. Travis, I don't use optimized app any more. Since the update I use the one from the server.

My latest WU's seem to be better behaved with the last one completing without incident and I have 2 more on the go as we speak. Peter Toronto, Canada |

I just noticed I now am getting computation errors on MW@Home. Not sure how to post the info or how toget it any more detailed than it shows in messages. Suffices to say at least ten tasks have went belly up that were going through the night. Not a single MW@Home success on the list. Other projects are having no such problem. Going to withdraw support for a while until this gets ironed out. 32bit Windows XP Home AMD Opteron 180 ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard Nvidia 450GTS GPU 4GB DDR Memory |

It just happened again and same pattern as the previous pair of WU's. One completed and one failed 'Computation Error'. Who is writing these things? Peter Toronto, Canada |

This might need to be posted elsewhere, but there seems to be no option to start a new thread on my display today. AGAIN, I'm running Milky Way work units that run, complete and then disappear into thin air. No credit is being issued, I'm running the stock applicaiton. I'm processing on an AMD quad core CPU. The current work units I'm running are listed in my account and the notation at the end says "Not in DB". What does that mean? This project is becoming increasingly frustrating to run. Work units take many hours to run and then it's like they never existed at all. I'm thinking that if I receive no credit, the project must not be receiving results. If that's the case, something needs to be fixed or changed. If no one is getting the benefit of the CPU time I'm donating, I'm not sure why I'm wasting the electricity.... Zen |

I think I'll be turning off MW for a while as I'm getting too many 'Error While Computing' and 'Not in DB' WU's. I can't tell what the ratio of good to bad WU's is because they disappear so quickly. |

Zen, on you X4 945 you've got 4 WUs of the "de_separation" type listed. The strange thing is that the website says your app is not in the data base. This is not the WU! WUs finished (either successfully or with some failure) are deleted almost instantaneously here.. which is something that had been used in the past to help the server, but makes troubleshooting increasingly difficult. In your case I'd try the following: - Rest the project. You'll probably get a new app, which should then be in the data base again. This one should produce valid results. - Update your BOINC. 6.4.x is really old and lots of bugs have been fixed since then. You issue could also be a communication problem between an older BOINC client and newer server software. - Personally I wouldn't want to run separation tasks on any CPU. This app is perfect for GPUs and the ATIs crunch them within minutes instead of hours. And to make matters worse: results become less significant the longer it takes to return them. You could run the n_body app, but sadly I don't think you can choose between the two via the preferences. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 |

The new 0.82 is running fine on my Windows Vista CPU, but N-Body continues to error out within minutes. I wish I could de-select N-Body WUs. Is there any way to do this? |
