Now this is getting

Now this is getting difficult. Early prognosis warn me that if i continue doing E@H with S@H (50:50) share, i wont make it before deadline. I probably would, as those predictions are very inaccurate in my example, but running 24\\7 i`d need around 110h to complete one WU. Ok.. this is still roughly 4.5 day, but as i say, i often use this PC, so it`s usualy idle only when i sleep.

All of this makes krunching both projects very unsafe, regarding the short deadline. I`m doing the second WU right now, will see how long will it take (i dont suspect a significant change here).

I can only beg to fix that Windows/AMD compiler bug... 25% in my case is almost 14h wasted!!! This is more than 3 SETI WU`s wasted per one E@H WU!

I may be forced to suspend E@H on both my hosts (both are Windows/AMD) and get back only when bug is fixed (and app possibly optimized). Please do not get this as a threat or ultimatum, this is pure math and effciency. My cpu isn`t as fast as many here, so i need to be efficient.

BOINC will eventually go into EDF (Earliest Deadline First) and will work exclusively on the Einstein units until they've been completed.

It is still possible though, depending on how many units you downloaded, that even with that the units may not complete prior to the deadline. Since you appear to have only 1 unit out on both of your systems, you should be fine with just letting it enter EDF...

I have just stopped taking new wu from E@H until the problem is fixed. I will let the "QUE" work itself out. I will also suspend E@H after the last one uploads so the computer will take on additional work from the other projects. All 3 of my computers are AMD/window units.

Anyone else have any better idea's?

I got errors for 2 wus too.

I got errors for 2 wus too. They stopped working after 15 and 18.5 hours of computation. The error code was "process got signal 11"
WU 1
WU 2

For "WU 2" the message in BOINC was:

So Einstein@home restarted the work unit, QMC@home stopped working, Einstein@home started with a request to the scheduler and after downloading some files the error occurred.
I hope this may help debugging.

Wow.... the Floating Point Speed is taking a steep dive...!!!

Any ideas why?

acording to the server stats page, the flops count is based off of RAC, and with a 25-40% decrease in credits/hour for higher end CPUs this is a rather large hit.

Well you know how it


Well you know how it works,especially with the S5R2's that take longer (for good reason)

We just have to wait for others that may have slower processors to finish ones we already have finished.

I have finished 18 so far but 7 are still pending waiting for another machine out there some where to also finish and turn them in.

I still haven't tested my AMD 3200.......having trouble getting it to connect to my satellite isp.

I've finished the first two

I've finished the first two S5R2 units and am half way through the third without any trouble so far. I'm running an old AMD 850 and taking about 50 hours per unit time. Is it just the newer machines that are overclocked that are having trouble?

(edit) is running multiple projects not helping, I run Einstein only.

Which file do you insert this code into or what code this should it replace.

Boinc Master... no idea. I

Boinc Master... no idea. I have two new boxes, but none of them is overclocked. I haven't had a single client error so far on either Windows or Linux, and those boxes are really different ^^ one is an AMD running Debian Linux (atm) with a rather new Geforce video card, the notebook is an Intel dual-core with an ATI card running Windows XP... the crappy pre-installed home OEM version, even. So, I have no idea what helps or doesn't help. But Einstein has shared computing time with PrimeGrid, SETI and DRTG here and that doesn't seem to have caused any problems. Now they are both running Einstein only, though.
