Getting a bunch of 'validate errors'

http://einsteinathome.org/host/790150/tasks

Project was reset but errors continue.

Rosetta & Seti on same box show no problems. Suggestions?

Thx.

Validate errors

You've got infinite numbers in the result files. This usually points to a hardware problem, CPU getting too hot, memory fault etc.

Ok thanks, i'll chalk it up

Ok thanks, i'll chalk it up then to a project which stresses hardware more than the others mentioned and/or has more stringent verification.

Correct, this project is

Correct, this project is probably among the strictest in verification. Bernd is one of the developers, and knows his software very well, so he's given you the exact reason you are getting validate errors. The issues could result from any of a number of things.

I would do the simple things first. Clean, clean, clean. Make sure every fan is clean, the heat sink is clean, the heat sink is not loose, etc. Then do some of the simple tests, like Memtest86+ and Prime95.

I don't know about Rosetta, but we are definitely more picky than SETI concerning the results. And we are strictly CPU-bound, which puts more load on the CPU (actually FPU) itself than e.g. the memory, which might also be different to other projects.

A lot of bad results can be found in this thread: Different CPU, different OS.

I am getting validate errors

I am getting validate errors also from my new woodcrest(stock no ock) and receiving wu's that have had validate errors. Now I haven't had but 1 validate error in almost 2 years here What Gives? Should I abort the ones that have not validated? I hate crunching long units when I see a problem ahead of time....I don't think it is the hosts ,I think Bernd you need to look at your validator as too many of these are popping up at once.If this continues I will suspend the project and crunch elsewheres. Please respond... Thanks JR

I do get Validate errors as

I do get Validate errors as well.
Strange that 4 machines have validate errors on the very same WU and now two more machines are working on it (maybe they come up with validate errors as well): see here

there are more WU like this but mostly (only) two machines with validate errors so far:
http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/18982777
http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/18980247
http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/18994947
http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/18640632

and even more where my machines are the only ones with Validate errors so far.

I find this quite bizzare, especially the first one, where all machines seem to agree that the WU is a validate error in itself ;)

btw.. in the first two month I did not experience any validate errors either and now find them sporadically happen on different machines of mine.

All hosts are getting

All hosts are getting validating errors on These WU’s.

http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/19049072
http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/19065962
http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/19070317
http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/19057172

All this WU’s are from the same data file.
My host is the sixth result on this WU l1_0297.0_S5R1__147_S5R1a.

One other strange thing is that we are a lot of fast hosts doing this data file with short results.

Then you're really interested in a subject, there is no way to avoid it. You have to read the Manual.
