Hi, I have just had three calculation failures on ps-separation tasks. below is the sderr. <core_client_version>7.2.33</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1) </message> <stderr_txt> <search_application> milkyway_separation 1.00 Windows x86 double </search_application> Unrecognized XML in project preferences: max_gfx_cpu_pct Skipping: 100 Skipping: /max_gfx_cpu_pct Unrecognized XML in project preferences: nbody_graphics_poll_period Skipping: 30 Skipping: /nbody_graphics_poll_period Unrecognized XML in project preferences: nbody_graphics_float_speed Skipping: 5 Skipping: /nbody_graphics_float_speed Unrecognized XML in project preferences: nbody_graphics_textured_point_size Skipping: 250 Skipping: /nbody_graphics_textured_point_size Unrecognized XML in project preferences: nbody_graphics_point_point_size Skipping: 40 Skipping: /nbody_graphics_point_point_size Error loading Lua script 'astronomy_parameters.txt': [string "number_parameters: 4..."]:1: '<name>' expected near '4' Error reading astronomy parameters from file 'astronomy_parameters.txt' Trying old parameters file Using SSE3 path Failed to move file 'separation_checkpoint_tmp' to 'separation_checkpoint' (6801): Transaction support within the specified file system resource manager is not started or was shutdown due to an error.

Does anybody know what "incorrect function" means? My thanks to all who provide suggestions. In the meantime I will continue with the tasks in the hope that some will be ok. John [/b] |

Hi again, I now have had 5 calculation failures on the trot so I am going to stop calculating in the hope that we can find an answer on this thread. Thanks John |

Hi again, more faults on these ps_sepn_10_2s_sSgrFreeInertia tasks. here is the sderr <core_client_version>7.2.33</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <stderr_txt> <search_application> milkyway_separation 1.00 Windows x86 double </search_application> Unrecognized XML in project preferences: max_gfx_cpu_pct Skipping: 100 Skipping: /max_gfx_cpu_pct Unrecognized XML in project preferences: nbody_graphics_poll_period Skipping: 30 Skipping: /nbody_graphics_poll_period Unrecognized XML in project preferences: nbody_graphics_float_speed Skipping: 5 Skipping: /nbody_graphics_float_speed Unrecognized XML in project preferences: nbody_graphics_textured_point_size Skipping: 250 Skipping: /nbody_graphics_textured_point_size Unrecognized XML in project preferences: nbody_graphics_point_point_size Skipping: 40 Skipping: /nbody_graphics_point_point_size Error loading Lua script 'astronomy_parameters.txt': [string "number_parameters: 4..."]:1: '<name>' expected near '4' Error reading astronomy parameters from file 'astronomy_parameters.txt' Trying old parameters file Using SSE3 path Integral 0 time = 12490.993018 s Running likelihood with 107122 stars Likelihood time = 2.492598 s <background_integral> 0.000520275761890 </background_integral> <stream_integral> 736.383873646955070 1685.907943371911900 </stream_integral> <background_likelihood> -11.472450952046016 </background_likelihood> <stream_only_likelihood> -3.130047180413889 -21.326269355458681 </stream_only_likelihood> <search_likelihood> -3.130047177420612 </search_likelihood> 20:25:17 (7288): called boinc_finish </stderr_txt> Does anybody have any suggestions what "Unrecognized XML in project preferences: max_gfx_cpu_pct" might mean? Thanks for looking John |

Hi again, it seems that my problems have gone as the latest tasks are working ok. I have no idea what caused the calculation errors but, as I have not changed my set up, it must have been a faulty batch of tasks?? Anyway they seem to be working ok now. John |

I'm getting errors on the GPU tasks for those work units. |

Hi Penguin5540, yeah nobody seems to have any ideas what is going wrong with these tasks. That said I am now getting some sort of result that the system is accepting, though, when I look at the wingmates result they seem sort of different to me. I am no expert at what the dupe should look like in fact in some cases there is no dupe??? I am going to bash on and see what happens. Thanks for at least commenting Regards John |

Hopefully someone will fix the gpu and cpu task errors soon. |

Hi Penguin5540, Part of the "wingmates" thing is this change: from minimum quorum 2 to minimum quorum 1 This means you no longer need a wingmate and the system now trusts your pc to produce valid results, or the project is sending out units that thinks few pc's can mess them up. Either way it's a good thing as you no longer have to wait on your wingmate to get credits. |
