Is there one ring to rule them all?
I have plenty of 64-bit processors... problem is they are all running 32 bit OS.
I have a Q9550 in Vista Home Premium 32 bit and the only error it has given (that I know of) was one of the CEP jobs earlier this week.
The i7 I couldn't tell you anything about other than it's pretty new...
What is the time frame for the results of the machines listed? If you have that many errors on the two top machines which are all but brand new I would think there is some kind of hardware/software issue.
Are you overclocking?
What kind of security software are you running on these machines?
Are these machines crunching other projects with no problems?

RT,

HPF2 Production 6.03, beta 6.04 and 6.05 thoroughly fail on my Vista 32bit quad within usually 2 minutes, so taken it off the profile. CEP causes massive amounts of Kernel time and PF Delta, again on Vista only, so it's off the Vista device profile.

Rice was a substantial problem on Vista... did not work until 6.17, now very reliable.

See a commonality?

Opposed, XP causes hardly any hassle.

Too bad this post was not answered.....I see the same thing on my farm. I only crunch HCC there, and switched the enitre farm over to Vista 64 bit when I realized that V64 was the sweet spot for the (now fixed) HCC page fault problem some time ago. This was not a cheap thing to do on 14 of my WCG quads.....The farm has grown since then.

The immediate issue I have is the the "send other WUs" box is checked if HCC runs out of work. I get HPF2 WUs quite regularly.....Is there an "exclude-a-project-at all-times" button on the WCG page? No, I think not.

The other issue I have is the number of errors I have built up in my status pages. (Please don't tell me to ignore them. They exist and waste my farm's efficiency. Time is the key here. I won't waste yours, please don't waste mine.... I don't have an infinite amount of time left......)

I really get annoyed when you waste ANY of my CPU cycles on these WUs to fail for any length of time. It must be driving the work schedulers nuts. Vista 64 bit is here to stay, quit sending me "defective" HPF2 WUs please. Thanks....

Go dig into my account. I would also be more than happy to help troubleshoot in any way. I have the beta box checked all the way across the farm. Just ask for more detail, I'll take the time.

Get this message to the Techs, the project scientists, or whatever it takes. This has been going on WAY too long, and has lost WCG some very good crunchers. I'm tired of losing teammates because this is not being heard here.

Sorry if I may have ruffled feathers, this post is not intended to do this, we just want to crunch WUs that have a chance of completing and doing some good, no matter what our "home" project is.

Bob

The "exclude-a-project-at all-times" option for a project in the profiles is interesting for there is a device group that simply does not like a specific science.

That said, by chance just figured out that the 2 minute failing of HPF2 on Vista 32, relation to Vista 64 thought improbable, is most likely caused by security software. See http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/printpost?post=212048. Now got it working.

WCG has set HCC pretty high in the pool weight, so if you choose this as sole project for a device profile a little buffer of a day or 2 I think you're fairly save to untick the "if there is no work available". Means your client will try to fetch HCC to replenish the buffer and having a few days to achieve that.

A Result log would indeed be nice.

PS Got the 3GB download of W7 to burn onto a DVD and test spin it. Mainly have a driver concern though not jumping it. First want to research if there are reported problems with my set of wifi.

This is from 4 different machines, four different WUs. Certainly if this is something stupid on my part, I would be happy to know it...

I'll supply whatever data is asked of me, and certainly the techs can look into my account.

Thanks,
Bob
