I got some of this error code:

- exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005)

Is this a problem of out of ram?

hello

I have had a few tasks today which say waiting for memory. I checked the task manager and 1 project was taking 50% of the cpu only and the other 50% was system idle process so this should have been the other 50% for the other one like normal.

does anybody know why this happens

thanks


One WU is taking too much memory (more than defined in your prefs or smaller RAM total). If memory is free again this WU restarts from the last checkpoint.

Hi,

I can't get WU anymore. I have this message from server:

No work sent.
(won't finish in time) BOINC runs 100% of time, computation enabled 100% of that.

Any idea?
WU end time too short?

Thanks


Your computer is overcommited with too much work not reaching the deadline, if not then you need to reset your debits. I cannot see what boinc version do you using.

newbee to NFS, I see that each wu utilises over 300MB of RAM, is this normal?


Yes, that is. ;)

I didn't do that since the work units for a particular factorization can vary as much as 20-30% in the time they take to complete on a given reference system. I could simply choose an average and specify that as the credit per WU. Why would that be better than the current system based on FLOPS?


Overclaimed benchmarks (cheating).

We need a logo. As you can see by my attempt below, I suck at logos. I was thinking a play on the name Number Field Sieve, hence the field. Or numbers falling through a sieve? Or something entirely different? Post your ideas and, if you're artistically inclined, samples. Please make sure, though, that any included images are in the public domain or come with explicit permissions to use. Thanks!


How large should it be (width and height)?

As you know the problem with the current system pls give credits based on a reference system (PC).
