Post: I likely knew the answer to this question a while back but why am I not getting any Astropulse work units? |

Post: I was just checking through some of my logs and noticed McAfee had picked up a Trojan in ap_graphics_5.03_windows_intelx86.exe from SETIHOME. Artemis!DoEE80903085 It quarantined the file somewhere that my search can’t find. I was hoping to be able to zip it up in case anyone wanted to have a look at it. This version is likely not being used anymore but thought I would let you know. Would be interested as to how it got contaminated. |

Post: Just to let my wingmen know I have three work units that will take a bit to finish. Had a hard crash and it seems 5.05 doesn't like that much better than the previous versions. They are 2041279, 2041178, and 2041177. I am now averaging about 120 hrs of CPU/unit so it will be about a week which is still well within the deadline period. |

Doing an upgrade next wek and hopefully the next release of Xeons handles these better. ap_03ja09ac_B2_P0_00186_20090322_18369.wu_2 ap_03ja09ad_B0_P0_00079_20090401_12129.wu_3 ap_03ja09ab_B5_P1_00005_20090331_09001.wu_1 |

Post: Just an observation on AP 5 and BOINC 6.4.5. It survives hard crashes better. Had five over supper hour (Cold in Victoria puts a drain on power) I have two AP units running and they both survived the first 4 crashes. Both reset on the fifth. They were only at 20+% so this won't have too much effect on completion as long as the same doesn't happen tomorrow night. Richard U |

Post: Think I am going to have to give up on AstroPulse on this computer. It just reset 4 more jobs due to a hard crash (power outage) and now they won't make the deadline. Are any of the files usefull for debugging? I will keep them running for a couple of days and I can zip up any usefull files.

Post: ....In the process, it creates a file called zeroed_statefile_log.txt. The number in the file represents the number of times it has tried so far. (Don't change the number.) I have three of these ap_23ap08aa_B3_P0_00052_20080714_20232.wu_0_0 - zeroed_statefile_log.txt = 2 ap_23ap08ab_B1_P0_00103_20080716_06439.wu_1_0 - zeroed_statefile_log.txt = 1 ap_23ap08aa_B3_P0_00037_20080714_20232.wu_1_0 - zeroed_statefile_log.txt = 2 All three are back at just over 1% compleated at 60, 75 and 79 hours CPU Time |

AstroPulse v4.33 Errors and reporting
(Message 34141)
Posted 9 Jul 2008 by Richard U
Post: Jim et al OK I have done some testing re the locked files, first with all Boinc files and directories excluded from real time scanning, and then with real time scanning turned off. (Vista/OneCare) The results are consistent in the fact that none of these procedures had any effect on the 'Can't delete previous state file; The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)' I have 4 applications running at all times and all of these write to the same file, is this what is locking the file and disallowing it's deletion? Or is one of the running apps trying to delete the file while another app has it in a rewrite state? The other concern, is this behaviour causing or adding to any of the errors, both in Seti and AP? |

AstroPulse v4.33 Errors and reporting
(Message 34071)
Posted 1 Jul 2008 by Richard U
Post: I run a relatively old version of Symantec Antivirus. I'll see if I can exclude files. These errors look a lot like what I was getting as well. I am also still getting "Can't delete previous state file" and I am running Vista with OneCare. I am not convinced that the issue is not with BOINC not properly closing files but I can never catch the file in a locked state. |

Post: I just had my last 2 AP tasks error out on a -4 In ap_fileio.cpp, Statefile::write, statefile is 0'd, trying again: iteration 100 Error calculating fold_level. 3934752 3938469 About this time I had to log off as I couldn't open Boinc Manager and the computer was real sluggish. Processors were at 100% but then they always are. However on checking the logs it appears to have crashed during logoff "The previous system shutdown at 8:25:42 PM on 30/06/2008 was unexpected." Nothing else obvious shows up. That should have said 3 4086505 |

Underclaiming credit?
(Message 34040)
Posted 29 Jun 2008 by Richard U
Post: Seems this thread may be the place to pose the following question, and no I am not complaining about credits, it just seems strange. Check 1147111. There are 2 completed tasks that were granted 669.39 credits and a failed task that was granted 1219.34. This is also a good example of Mr.kjellen's issue as well. I claimed 1322.26 credits but because my wingman completed it a quarter of the time I took we both recieved his claim of 669.39. |

Post: One of these days I may be able to say I have actually completed my first AP unit. This one exited on a -5 error somewhere around 50% complete. Sorry about that, I forgot I still had some 4.32s running. I have two more sitting at 58% with 130 hours left. Is there still a need to leave them running in case they error out? |
