Ok, so I started it back up, it worked for a few sets of files then started spewing errors again. I gave up. Uninstalled everything again and watched the forums... well, tried to. The Seti forums were unreachable for several days. After they finally came back up I still saw nothing new so I waited some more. Nothing. All I did was uninstall the boinc manager. Period! Thats it. No deletions, nothing else. I re-installed it last night and I see everything working again but nothing here about it.... Is there something going on to find out what is the matter or will I just be blamed for not maintaining my computer properly like others have been? https://www.facebook.com/LAKEVILLEUNITYGARDENS/ |

No one is blaming you my friend. The messages were only intended to alert you to the problem. Since the design of this project is "set an forget" most folks do not pay a great deal of attention to it. I have similar problems getting 100% out of my machine , I've tried a million things to get the errors to stop, so far I have only been able to reduce their occurrence., but I keep trying. I guess what I'm saying is ... Your awareness is the key and you willingness to work with us to solve the problem FULLY makes up for ANY errors your computer makes. |

Just a question.. I have an auto defrag every two weeks because a LOT of files are created and deleted here making for lots of fragmented files. Is there any way that the defrag is causing this? https://www.facebook.com/LAKEVILLEUNITYGARDENS/ |

I reboot about once a week. I suspended computations until I rebooted. As soon as I resumed all 6.1's error-ed out. https://www.facebook.com/LAKEVILLEUNITYGARDENS/ |

Don't bother suspending before your re-boot, BOINC will manage everything as part of its shutting down process. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Don't bother suspending before your re-boot, BOINC will manage everything as part of its shutting down process. But, if you have any tasks that are Ready to Report, do an update on that project first. "Just in case." Why the weekly reboot? I let my i7 run for weeks at a time and reboot it only when a Windows update requires it. (But then, I don't use it for anything else most of the time.)

My summery of October's blitz is that it wasn't as bad as when M$ rolled out the sleepy drivers, 5 months or so earlier, but the end result of all those PM's is that my inconclusive results have dropped to an eighth of what they were which to me is a great result. Cheers. |

Looks like all I'm doing is errors again... Thats the thing, I dont have a problem. My computer is up to date, maintained and works great for all the things I got it for. I'm thinking of just giving up on seti https://www.facebook.com/LAKEVILLEUNITYGARDENS/ |

Looks like all I'm doing is errors again... What make/model of power supply do you have and what sort of temps is the GPU producing while under full load? Cheers. |

I thought the server was supposed to throttle a client with too many errors, is that not true? |

I thought the server was supposed to throttle a client with too many errors, is that not true? It is true, but effective only when nothing but errors are returned for an extended time. There are delays caused by pending tasks from before the problem, and each error only reduces quota by one. For "SETI@home Enhanced 6.10 windows_intelx86 (cuda_fermi)", Thndr's host is down to "Max tasks per day 2" but for GPUs that is multiplied by a project setting which is probably still 8 here. So for that application version it's down to 16 per day, and that's enough less than the limit of 100 in progress to minimize the damage. Joe |

I thought the server was supposed to throttle a client with too many errors, is that not true? Its still seems odd that there are users with a thousand inconclusives. As an example, I've got an inconclusive with this user, who has no tasks in progress, but the application details show he can take 100 WU? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6726942 I don't mean to imply any ill will towards anyone working on sorting out their gpu problem. Maybe the project should throttle the GPUs faster and automatically notify you if you get a lot of errors. |

I thought the server was supposed to throttle a client with too many errors, is that not true? This setting can produce errors, it stops and starts the app.. Better to set it to 0 (zero) and use the (CPU) and GPU setting: run when computer is idle, IMHO The same applies to the default settings of the AstroPulse stock app. DATA_CHUNK_UNROLL at default:2 DATA_CHUNK_UNROLL at default:2 Depending of the GPU used, these values should be adjusted accordingly. F.i. start with UNROLL=8, UNROLL=16 is usually the limit. Info: BOINC provided device ID used Used GPU device parameters are: Number of compute units: 4 Single buffer allocation size: 256MB max WG size: 1024 FERMI path used: yes UNROLL=4 should work better, IMHO. (If it's still possible to change these values?!). |

I thought the server was supposed to throttle a client with too many errors, is that not true? I'm still receiving 0xc0000005 errors with my AMD 6850 with an unroll of 12. I seem to be getting more recently. I'm also receiving that error with my ATI 4670. I believe this could be a memory error, maybe associated with BOINC, as I recently received the same 0xc0000005 error with my old Dell not using AstroPulse. At the time the Dell had that error I had 'rearranged' the memory and it wasn't seated properly. The error seems to be happening with my 6850 after the task is finished and the last line of the report is being written. Working on the assumption that the 0xc0000005 error may be caused by BOINC, I recently changed my BOINC version to 7.0.38 after seeing the first change line referring to memory. Unfortunately, I immediately fell victim to the FLOP 'feature' of 7.0.38 and suffered a handful of errors before I added the correct FLOP entries in my App_info file. Anyway, I'm now running 7.0.38 and testing to see if I still receive the 0xc0000005 error with AstroPulse. All I need now is a large number of AstroPulse tasks to test on my 6850... |
