I get home tonight to see an error on my computer. I forget the exact wording. I look at BOINC and EVERY SINGLE PROJECT HAD A COMPUTATION ERROR!

I lost Seti, Pirates, Einstein, LHC, Predictor, and even a Climate unit!!!

They all have this error:

3/22/2005 11:15:42 PM|ProteinPredictorAtHome|Unrecoverable error for result t0224E_1_98001_0 (There are no child processes to wait for. (0x80) - exit code 128 (0x80))

---

-----

What's worse is that I cleared all the units and they all downloaded new ones automatically, even Climate, and then spat out that same error!!

I quickly shut down Boinc so as not to waste more units, especially Climate.

Is your situation similar to mine

Bascily Climate has an error, then it breaks something, then all the projects go nuts and start downloading stuff till they hit there quotas then locks up the PC.

I've had two of my machines go crazy like that as well. Detaching from Climate fixed it, no one has been able to tell me what caused Climate to do it though.

Detatching from Climate didn't fix it for me.

hadsm3 4.10??

---

I don't think it's Climate. I detatched from everything, and then attatched to Predictor. BAM, error.

---

-----

when it started computing?

---

Yes. I attatched to Predictor. It downloaded the unit, and then immediately said that computation was complete with the error:

3/22/2005 11:15:42 PM|ProteinPredictorAtHome|Unrecoverable error for result t0224E_1_98001_0 (There are no child processes to wait for. (0x80) - exit code 128 (0x80))

---

-----

and if you detach from predictor and attach say einstein?

---

I can't because of the stupid error. It used up my Einstein cache for the day.

darn it... seems the experts need to come this way...

I forwarded this thread to the right people.

Thanks Matt :)

On the Perdictor Boards they said that there was a unit that should not have gone out (testing unit) and it causes fortran errors, they thought they got them all cleaned up but some people still got them (i had 3 of them).

Tried that too, but the error persists, I now use the suspend function on Boinc to stop it completley when I need to do something with this computer, if I forget to do that I will soon notice it when it locks completley, they say this bug is fixed in the new model but I'm still about a month of computing away from next WU and I don't want to reset the project and lose about 20 days of CPU-time...

Some people say Climate... some people say Predictor... I think I'll wait until this is figured out before I attatch to any projects on that computer 8)

Problem is: There are two 'Predictors' ;)

1. ClimatePrediction,
2. ProteinPrediction

First tries to predict the future climate change based on past-veryfied calculations.
Second tries to predict the folding of destinct Proteins.

And if you're in nitpicker mode, afaik even LHC tries to predict the tracks of hadrons through their accelerator.

So IMHO best use abbrevations: CPDN, PPAH, LHC, EAH, SAH

Or the full names:

Climateprediction.net
Einstein@Home
LHC@Home
Predictor@Home
SETI@Home

and soon:
BURP
The Lattice Project

And later:
??????

Soon? I'm already on BURP! See?

(Okay, I haven't gotten any work from them yet, and they are even more up and down than SETI, but... I signed up, and am ready and waiting!)

I'm looking forward to Lattice, too. Even though life sciences aren't my thing, the fact that they are using MULTIPLE different applications as opposed to only one on the other projects is quite intrigueing. And, of course, I'm dying to get in on PlanetQuest too!

BTW, Matt, I'm sure you probably tried this, but, did rebooting the computer fix anything?

Any news on this error?
