Many of my recent tasks (running Windows 7) have immediately resulted in Computation errors. Am I doing something wrong? I have received credit in the past, so I know I can do it.

I don't think it's you, Ross; I'm seeing the same errors on two different systems. The one with more memory is happily working on 16e tasks, but 14e produces "Computation error" immediately for both. And looking at the statistics at http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/crunching.php, it appears that no work units at all have been successfully processed for GC_2_802, so that's probably the culprit.

Thanks for the info. I have two other computers (Ubuntu 12.04, Mint 17) and they seem to be doing OK.

I have Windows 7 Professional 32 bit (fully updated) with 4 GB RAM.

I captured some messages for more diagnostic info:

I guess I may just abandon doing NSF work on my Windows box, at least for a while.

The 14e Lattice Sieve v1.10 also provides error!

Admin warned.
Guys, please post here the content of GC_2_802.poly.

Thank you.

Here's what I've got in GC_2_802.poly:

c0 should be +1
/sigh/

Also if it is to be restarted anyway, a better poly would be with c6: 401, c0: 2 and double Y0, double skew

First, I'm not sure what a .poly is or where I would find it to post, if a repost of it is even needed.

Second, I'm not even sure what Batalov meant or how to do it.

OTOH, the more recent tasks I've been getting haven't been the ones which have the immediate failure, so maybe I should just keep calm and NFS on?

I have noticed that I aborted some 13 tasks early this morning, as one of my machines had not yet started them but they were beyond the deadline. Still, that machine seems to be doing quite well with the new tasks it's been given. So I guess I'll keep calm. (grin)

Ross

Ross,

This number should be cancelled and the poly updated to correct values as Batalaov says.
Right now I don't have access to the database to be willing to make the changes, abort current wus and start new batch.

Just keep calm, Greg the admin is very busy and I already contacted Lionel who has access to 14e database.

Carlos

All my 14e WUs error out! 15e, 16e and 16eV5 WUs give no problems.

Reported to Admin, poly is wrong.
