Hello,

E.Frijters,
----------------------------------------don't know if the perpetual zero status is caused by the CEP jobs specifically or a system problem. Suggest to fetch other work (untick CEP project in projects profile and increase cache a little to force this if you currently have none), pause the CEP job and see if any other project produces this too. If so, it's more likely an issue on your system. Memory blank, is this client 6.2.28?

Hi Sekerob,
----------------------------------------The WU is version 6.19; Boinc is v5.8.15 The wu keeps on resetting. I'm going to kill it. Other projects never cause any problems. Better luck next time! Thanks!

From what I recollect 5.8.15 was not exactly the best release, hence why WCG ended up 30 point releases later on 5.10.45
----------------------------------------Strongly recommend you upgrade BOINC to 6.2.28. It's much more gracious on RPC, timekeeping and Daemon-Science heartbeat monitoring. Fetch it via the My Grid, download link right top. ciao

I also have a WU that keeps restarting:
----------------------------------------12/21/2008 8:58:22 AM|World Community Grid|Restarting task E000035_954A_00045n008_2 using cep1 version 619 Been doing that since 4 AM. And progress never gets above 0%. I have a Pentium 4, XP, 1.5G RAM. Running BOINC version 6.2.28. The two other copies that were returned from other PCs wer aborted and error. I am going to abort this one. [Edit 2 times, last edit by littlepeaks at Dec 21, 2008 4:13:15 PM] |

I had the same problem with WU E000044_ 562A_ 00055i006_ 1--. I gave it *2 DAYS* before finally aborting it and it never got past about 23 minutes before restarting. I tried installing the 6.2.28 BOINC client and it didn't make any difference at all. I am obviously not the only one that had a problem with this particular work unit, since the other cruncher that got one of the initial WU's also aborted after 1 day. I'll admit that 2 days of wasted CPU time have me about ready to drop this project from my list until the code is a little more stable.

I had the same problem with WU E000044_556A_00055i000_1.
It never got past 0%, kept restarting every 40 minutes. The WU graphics never showed any lines. It just said 'Awaiting for Graph Info". Also the 'Slots' folder never showed any checkpoints files. I tried hitting the 'Reset Project' button which restarted all WU's from scratch (even the one that was in Ready to Report status. Bummer!) but it did the same thing the second time around. Finally gave up and aborted it. |

Thank you all for your reporting and sorry for the trouble.
----------------------------------------Distribution of the CEProject seems to be suspended waiting for a new version. Cheers. Jean. |

I am having this same problem with the following work unit that I downloaded 12/24/08 and haven't progressed on.

Hello mikefinn,
Sounds like you have it covered. If it irritates you, abort it and let it run on the computer of someone who does not bother to bring up BOINC Manager to see what is happening. Eventually it will be withdrawn and sent to the project scientists to help them debug the CHARMM program. Lawrence |
