Was there a recent change to the way credit is granted or amount for work done?

It seems to be lower than before starting on September.

Thank you.

FYI. After 24 hours of running the lasievef 64 bit client on a Phenom II x6 there are no more errors to report.

It looks like by changing the compatibility mode to Windows 7 for all users the problem went away.

I'm not sure what others reported, but if there's a workaround it would be great to be able to run the 64 bit clients on these machines.

Thanks.

Sounds good to me.

So far so good. It has successfully completed 5 work units with the lasievef 1.08 x64 binary since changing the compatibility mode. It started working on the 6th and just went past 5 minutes (again, it was consistently failing after exactly 1 minute).
Keeping my fingers crossed. Let's see how it does over the weekend.

Regards,

Enrique

Trying an experiment here.

Changed the properties for the lasievef_1.08_windows_x86_64 binary for all users. Set the compatibility mode to Windows 7.

So far I've got two work units running for over 5 minutes without exceptions (all used to consistently fail at the 1 minute mark).

Will keep you posted. Thanks.

Reset the project and it still throws the same exception.

Greg's right, it must be something to do with these AMD Phenom IIs with 6 cores. All my other Windows machines are running the lasievef x64 units without a problem (or minimal amount of errors).

Perhaps it is the operating system too. In this case Windows 2008 R2.

This particular machine is also running an instance of Ubuntu under Hyper-V. No problems with any type of work units there.
At any given time, 4 cores are running lasievef x64 and lasievee x64 units under Linux; and one core will be running the same but under Windows.
The only units that are consistently failing are the lasievef x64 in Windows.

Perhaps the issue is the combination of this particular CPU and the OS.

Thanks.

Maybe you are looking at more info than what is available/visible to me.
But I'm not sure that the article applies.

Looking at the results for task 26650845, I see that the error is:

- Unhandled Exception Record -
Reason: Access Violation (0xc0000005) at address 0x0000000000429314 read attempt to address 0x0076206A

I don't see EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED in the debugger output. I also don't see any messages logged in the Event Manager. All other failed work units show the exact same type of error.

I'll still follow the instructions, can't hurt to try. I'm going to detach the project and re-attach.

Thanks Carlos.

I just updated the version of BOINC. Still failing on the lasievef 1.08 x64 work units I'm afraid.

Greg, anything you need that could assist?

Thank you.

Hi.

One of my computers seems to be aborting every lasievef 1.08 x64 job exactly at the 1 minute mark. It is computer ID 29759.
Any details that would help you trouble shoot?

It is a Windows 2008 R2 server.
Processor: AMD Phenom II 1090T. Slight overclock to 3.4 GHz. Additional cooling provided by over-sized heat sink.
Ram: 16 GB DDR3 1600 running at 1333.

Only running 1 job at a time on Windows.

Any other technical info that you require?
The machine has shown no stability issues and other work units complete just fine, even the lasievee 1.08 x64.

Thanks.
