I got 2 Type A betas on Q9650b: 2GB RAM, 4.0GHz, XP-32, BOINC 6.2.19

Galveston, we have a problem ...
WU #1: BETA_erag_a083_ps0000_2 | 607 | Error | 6/10/09 20:17:18 | 7/10/09 01:14:14 | 0.20 | 5.2 / 0.0
Error was code 29 (0x1d). [Edit]: 1 wingman also got error 29.
The BOINC Messages log contains complaints that output files BETA_erag_a083_ps0000_2_4, ...5, and ...6 were absent, but nothing else to indicate abnormal termination, as per TimandHedy's report above.
These code 29 errors happened in the early days of CEP, and I think the explanation given was that the simulation was running into the boundaries of the simulation space.

WU #2: BETA_erag_a151_ps0000_0, 9.64% at 2h33m, extrapolating ==> 26.5h total. Initial estimate was 41h.
Currently, Mem usage = 220Mb, (Total) Page Faults = 60k, VM Size = 1307MB.
The low number of page faults is excellent, in contrast to CEP.
HCC and FAAH WUs start up with a "small" memory usage footprint (under 20MB) and after a few minutes, this suddenly grows to about 170MB.
I did not observe the startup of these Betas, but after about 20 seconds, their memory usage was already at 170MB. Some time later, the WU still running had grown to its current 220MB.
HTH, and hope you techs get some sleep tonight

[Update]: WU#2 crashed at 20.5h CPU time with error (from log file):
Access Violation (0xc0000005) at address 0x008E46C6 read attempt to address 0x507EBE58
On later posts in this thread you'll see that this error happened to many other WUs, and running WUs were aborted by the techs.
That's what beta testing is all about ... glad I could help.

Lost another one. This is a different error about 10% of the way through.

But this line is not only updated by WCG but all projects you've attached to the host, with the most recent download being completed.

So if i have a boinc project whc is like 35hops away (with 300 ping time and thruput is like 76K) and downloaded a new WU, and when WCG's turn it won't download as its too slow.

I just got one lousy ß-wu, which returned an error immediately after startting (runtime 0.00).

I think, this is my worst rate of yield of all ß-tests ever...

If you put your country in your forum info, we'd know where you're pulling from. I'm [sending/receiving] from the Italian outback. ISP virgin media is not too much telling from the speedtest thread. My pings are generally horrible, except for Rome or Amsterdam.

The beta does not concern me, it's when it gets to production. Then 384kbps is not going to fly for me. Did get ACAH at the time, so wonder how those sizes of task & result files compare to these.
