Computation Error - Output File Absent

I've been happily crunching away on HCC units, both GPU and CPU for months now.

Today, switched work to attempt HCC GPU and HFCC CPU units at the same time.

When the HFCC units were downloaded, most immediately completed with a Computation Error. Other HFCC units proceeded to be crunched for 6 hours until done and then when at 100% went to Computation Error instead of complete.

Everything is "stock" on my machine. No app file tweaking.

I could attempt only HFCC CPU work, but I don't want to abort my queue of HCC GPU work as it can be hard to replace these days.

Anyone know of a solution to this?

Below is the event log of a typical HFCC unit error.

Re: Computation Error - Output File Absent

Can you post the result log from one of these errors. To get this go to "My Grid" -> "Result Status" and for one fo the error results click the status "Error". This should show open the result log in a new window.

Thanks,
armstrdj

Re: Computation Error - Output File Absent

Thanks armstrdj, here is the result log from an HFCC unit that ran for 4 hours to 100% and then said "computation error" instead of "complete".

Re: Computation Error - Output File Absent

Error -161 is described as:
ERR_NOT_FOUND -161

This happens when you have an inconsistent client_state.xml file. Files aren't written to it.
Task not found would be the error message.

A project reset may fix this.

Re: Computation Error - Output File Absent

Thanks Rob. I've stopped incoming HCC work units and will do a reset when my queue is clean.

I'll have my first sapphire badge (HCC) in a few days! :-) I had planned to work on HFCC next, but it would be nice to keep the GPU running on HCC while doing so.

Re: Computation Error - Output File Absent

What may, or may not have happened is something to ownerships/permission. Propose to do a complete cycle when your queue is empty and run your BOINC installer again, taking the "repair" option, then do a project reset.

There's no reason why HCC and HFCC can't live together and for that matter any WCG science combination.

Re: Computation Error - Output File Absent

Good to know, will do. I appreciate everyone's time and effort.

Edit with reset results: I have uninstalled and reinstalled the BOINC client and I'm happy to report that I'm able to run both HFCC units and HCC GPU units at the same time without errors. smile

Thanks again for everyone's tech help. -Paul
