My error rate is Climbing....
Some of the wu's error out after 1 or 2 seconds.
Is it me or a bad run...

I'm seeing errors also and so are other systems crunching the same WUs.

Update: rebooted system and first 4 WUs completed normally.
Will update after more results. ???????

On my systems the "de_modfit_fast_20_3s_146_bundle5_" WUs are getting computation errors. Other WUs seem to be working.

First I did was also reboot my system, but that did not do any good.
I got errors on;
"de_modfit_fast_18_3s_146_bundle5_ModfitConstraintsWithDisk_Bouncy"
and
"de_modfit_fast_20_3s_146_bundle5_ModfitConstraintsWithDisk_Bouncy"

You can add me to the list, I'm also getting computation errors on WUs. The ones affected are those in the first post in this thread. All error out after a second or two.

I also just got 40+ failed WU's in a row. All of them failed on the same error:

<number_WUs> 5 </number_WUs>
<number_params_per_WU> 21 </number_params_per_WU>
Number of parameters doesn't make sense

Add me to the list as well. Was getting errors, rebooted and am still getting errors. About 30% error rate? Not doing anymore work until more info is made available.

Another bad run, most likely.

Add me too
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?userid=2765&offset=0&show_names=0&state=6&appid=

Some of these wu's fail on other systems too.

Ah phew.... it's not my new Vega 56.
Same errors as above.

Error rate is quite high....45% error out in 1 sec.
Not much time wasted, but I must babysit this machine because the communication with the project defferes to 24 hours...

I'm getting errors on these work units as well:

"de_modfit_fast_18_3s_146_bundle5_ModfitConstraintsWithDisk_Bouncy"

"de_modfit_fast_20_3s_146_bundle5_ModfitConstraintsWithDisk_Bouncy"

Running a 290X and 280X, both of them seem to get errors only with these units, no others.

Looks like another bad batch of work units. All that have arrived today have quickly failed. No new tasks set for now.

I can report the same issue over here, I switched off MW for now until the problem is resolved :)

Same here with my rx560

Number of parameters doesn't make sense

It is easy to see something is wrong with some of the recent workunits - just look at the results returned for a workunit for which you get an error. For example:
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=1499638353
All the users got the exact same error with this workunit:

Error loading Lua script 'astronomy_parameters.txt': [string "number_parameters: 4..."]:1: '<name>' expected near '4'
Switching to Parameter File 'astronomy_parameters.txt'
<number_WUs> 5 </number_WUs>
<number_params_per_WU> 21 </number_params_per_WU>
Number of parameters doesn't make sense
18:05:21 (6400): called boinc_finish(1)

So this is clearly a problem with either the workunit or with the application processing it.

My BOINC says this:

Something's fishy, but they only take a second, so not much is lost in terms of crunch time ;)

I made a bad post because I failed to read the date on the thread I linked to. Please ignore.

Hey

Add me pls to the List, same Errors here, over 90%. Same Batch of WUs
"de_modfit_fast_18_3s_146_bundle5_ModfitConstraintsWithDisk_Bouncy" and
"de_modfit_fast_20_3s_146_bundle5_ModfitConstraintsWithDisk_Bouncy"

Wrong;)
I've got some 20 in my list of errors as well, and some are called Random, some not. Looks a wee bit random to me ;)

P.S.: I just saw, you changed your post, so now it fits here as well ;)

The ones named "fixed" work, but they are scattered among so many un-fixed I am aborting all.

[EDIT] After aborting 170 my system downloaded another 110 of which only 2 were "fixed" They are downloading faster than I can abort them. I should have stuck with my bitcoin mining.
