I'm not a tech nor a community Advisor, but I'm wondering what your failure rate is on CEP and on how many and what kind of machines you are crunching on.

The techs can't look into it. You didn't name the task, and your original report gave no useful information. **************.

Hi, i have not had an errored out CEP yet, i did stop when the big problems were around but since the restart no problems again, i must just be lucky. Not the answer you asked for but there you go. |

Hi, i have not had an errored out CEP yet, i did stop when the big problems were around but since the restart no problems again, i must just be lucky. Not the answer you asked for but there you go. Well, I was asking this more specific to David because I want to see if his failure rate deviates a lot from mine or not. Since the last restart of the project my failure rate is quite low (1 failure in the last days), but much better than it was on this project before. For CEP I use 4 machines with in total 10 CPU-cores in them. It could be that there is somethng in Davids configuration what causes a high failure rate. If so, it could be interesting to examine that config in order to find out what causes that high failure rate. |

They should. That work unit was going nowhere. It had been running 20.83 hours on a very fast computer when I aborted it because it was making no progress. David, it is possible to have a large WU on CEP. I've had a WU which took 45 hours to complete and was valid after all.  It ran on a Quad-core which is also a fast guy, so it is possible. These large WU's are also valuable for the project, especially when they are large because they contain a lot of information. So please let them run. |

I'm not a tech nor a community Advisor, but I'm wondering what your failure rate is on CEP and on how many and what kind of machines you are crunching on. Failure rate isn't as bad as it was a few weeks ago but no other project produces errors on my computers. Possible exception is HPF2. I no longer run that project. 1) 3.4GHz P4 with HT (not overclocked), 1.5GB RAM, Windows XP Home ^^^ I seldom run this machine. 2) Q6700 (not overclocked), 3GB RAM, Vista Ultimate 32 bit ^^^ Rock solid. If I get errors on this one, something is wrong with the work unit. 3) QX6700 @ 3.6GHz (overclocked), 4GB RAM, XP Pro 32 bit 4) Q6700 @ 3.65GHz (overclocked), 8GB RAM, Vista Ultimate 64 bit  |

So please let them run.I don't mind a large work unit, but I don't think that was the case with this one. I let that particular work unit run overnight after I suspected there was a problem. I also tried shutting it down and re-starting it and re-booting computer. It did the same thing some previous work units did (nothing) so I aborted that one. |

******** ************ You are having legitimate problems with a project ***. You are running multi-core machines (known problem with CEP). You are overclocking (might be a problem). You are running CEP on Vista machines (known problem). By looking at your machines, I can tell you are going to have problems with CEP. ********. ********* **Edited for intolerance**tkh [Edit 2 times, last edit by TKH at Feb 6, 2009 1:34:53 PM] |

It looks like there still is problems with CEP. We continue to loose processing time here. It looks like everyone that processed these work units ended in Errors, so they are probably bad WU, not my computers.
