Posted 17 Mar 2006 by Stargazer257 Post: So far, so good. Have run about 10 WUs on five different hosts (all WinXP SP2). No problems while changing settings to not stay resident in memory, and none so far with applications switching in and out. Knock on wood.... |

Posted 8 Mar 2006 by Stargazer257 Post: Sometimes the work is just being distributed to a specific platform, i.e., Linux. Early on I found my self in a similar situation, others were getting work but I wasn't and I was dropping down in the stats. Further investigation showed that Linux clients were getting WUs to work on a bug or whatever that affected just them. The Windoze work started back up later and I was again crunching Ralph. The work will come again, probably when you're not looking... |

Posted 1 Mar 2006 by Stargazer257 Post: Thanks. BTW, both WU's listed two posts ago have since completed, one in about 6 hours, the other at least 3 times that. |

Posted 1 Mar 2006 by Stargazer257 Post: Have a 4.90 unit on another PC that was struck at 1%. It was on model 1 at step 34401. It had been running for 4 hours. That's what mine did too (reset to 0:00 upon restart). The reason it did this is because the work hadn't reached a "checkpoint" as it were. Upon reboot, it didn't have a place to start and had to begin anew. You will have to let it run longer (of the two WU's I had like that, one ran ~6 hrs, and the other is still running at 9+ hrs). Look at the screensaver/graphic and see if the steps increment (it may seem like it is stopped, but check the step, then check back later to see if it has changed). My WU's raced up to Step 34,000 then seemed to stop. It actually has done 5-600 additional steps over the last 9 hours. Good luck |

Posted 28 Feb 2006 by Stargazer257 Post: I have a WU 4.90 stuck at 1% for 1h05'. The graphics are more or less freezed. THe protein shape moves a little bit every +/- 20 seconds. What do I do with this WU? Continue to run it. I had two that were like that (got to step ~34,000 real quick and then appeared to stop). One of them has since completed at ~5 hrs, the other is still going at 6+ hrs. Check the graphics/screensaver and see if the steps slowly increment. The one I have that is still running has only done ~500 steps since it appeared to slow down/stop. As long as the steps continue to increment (albiet, slowly), it is still running. And BTW, the progress only showed 1% done until it finished. Then it went to 100%. Hope yours are like that. |

Posted 28 Feb 2006 by Stargazer257 Post: I have two ver 4.90 wu's that "appear" to hang @ 1%, but they have actually just appear to have slowed down to a crawl. Both of them are acting similar in that they race up to Step 34,000 (Model 1) in about 30 minutes and then sloooowly creep forward acomplishing only 50-100 additional steps in 30 additional minutes of processing time. I had rebooted both hosts when they "appeared" to be stuck (@ 4+ hours of processing time), and they both reset to 0:00 (since they must not have "checkpointed"). I will keep them running as long as they progress forward, and will report my results irregardless. They are still in Model 1 at this time. WU10642 WU11437 BTW, is there a fixed number of steps in Model 1, i.e., a goal if you will, to know how close a WU is to completing Model 1 and checkpointing? |
