Your statement doesn't make any sense at all to me, you said what first? You had 2 failures on your computers? I'm sorry I don't understand. To me, these failures don't seem hardware related at all and I'll try to do better with using the correct terminology next time.

My looking at the work units suggests failure rate is higher on AMD than Intel



That's one thing we could have done without, an unscientific opinion like that is going to get all the fanbois all sturred up and start flame wars.

I'm still running 8 WU's from the previous batch without any issues. All of the new ones failed within 3.5 minutes of being started, I'm downloading 11 more right now.

All the new WU's are failing - wah2_sam25. These are the new ones that were just released, computation error within 3 minutes of starting.

Okay Les, thanks as usual. I'll keep checking back.

I'm guessing there's no credit script this weekend? Any idea when that might happen? I sure hope everyone doesn't tell me that they got credit this weekend and I didn't.

I've downloaded 6 WU's, finished them, uploaded all trickles. I've also had 5 that didn't download all the way and had to abort them.

I think the problem is the university doesn't want to budget the money for the software or hardware or give it large enough facilities. I wish there was a way to get the student body involved, the "millennial's" seem to be very environmentally conscience and might want to effect a change.

I'm surprised there isn't a scientist on the project that lobbies for CPDN's interests. I don't suppose there is a way we could donate money directly to the project?

I have 8 out of 14 that are from 2016 that unstuck and downloaded, I'm currently crunching 3 of them. They went in to project backoff for over 24 hours, everything has cleared now.

I have 14 WU's stuck in download limbo, "project backoff". All my trickleup's have gone through, it would be nice to get a little work.

I'm not getting these credits back, I had my computers stolen 3 1/2 years ago. Now that I'm back up and running I've discovered that it's happened to this account, over 300 forum posts and approximately 1.5 million credits. This day and age, they might be worth money though I don't data mine.

Okay guys, thanks for replying, I didn't see that date at the bottom of the page. This has got to be one of the most complicated projects on BOINC, I'm struggling to remember. I'm still pretty chapped over having all my credits taken away.

Is any one else having a problem with trickles going through? I have 2GB waiting and the status page shows everything green.

Got it, thank you. I don't want to get anyone upset when I ask a question, people seem to be a little edgy. I still have 21 trickles waiting, I'll sit on them and see what happens, it would be nice to get them in before tomorrow night.

Am I allowed to ask what just happened or will I get in trouble? I checked at the BOINC site as was stated in this thread but nothing there either. I do have 14 zips\trickle ups waiting to go through at the moment.

I can see that I have 84 "Validation Pending" WU'S, I also had 2 computation errors out of 3 WU's started. I need to clear out all my backup work to start back on CPDN with a full head of steam. I sure hope we don't have an outage that long again.


Forget about the “validation pending”. The WU's have been reported and you got credit for them. The Scientists are using the data. CP doesn’t use that validation system. It’s is used by other Boinc projects, just not CP.

I’m not quite sure what you mean by clear out all the backup work. Are the failed WU’s still showing in your Boinc Manager? Has Boinc Manager had a chance to contact the server since they failed?


Backup work, other projects that I work on when this one goes down. I'm not sure why you would assume I got credit for anything because I didn't, my RAC and my total credit haven't changed sense before the outage.

They haven't changed for almost 3 weeks, I watched my score after my zips went through. That following Saturday night - Sunday morning nothing changed.

Have you checked for new firmware updates, see what might be in the log of your new router?
