I don't receive any CEP2 WU's anymore.
 Why ?VEP |

After resuming the normal CEP2 distribution the validation of the results is still very bad.
A task exited during Job #0 can't be successful after 8,200 seconds runtime where those jobs normally need more than 5 to 8 hours or even more. Such a task is invalid and no reason to put it in pending verification state. We've seen before that a resend which produces the same exit during Job #0 will validate that short task to valid and the longer running task doing 7 of the 8 jobs to invalid. WCG and CEP do your homework and solve your problems.

Work flowing again - thanks! Only just, waiting on CEP2 WUs as currently reports none available. Patrick  |

Returned my first one in a while and it was validated straight away.
 Keep them coming.  |

It really shouldn't matter if the CPU clock runs at 800MHz as long as the unit is completed before the 10 day dead line or if the CPU time is 2 full days as long as its error free. The problem is if the CPU is slow enough that it doesn't finish the first job (which is quite long now) before the 18 hour time limit then nothing gets uploaded to the CEP scientists (as far as I understand it) which essentially wasted your 18 hours. Also, since it doesn't checkpoint until the first job is done, if your computer restarts the workunit would reset to 0%. So while its true that slower CPU's still contribute to the grid, it gets to a point where CEP becomes impractical and that computer should be switched to different projects |

I had two units fail with 0x100 in Job #6 on the same machine and one validated successfully and the other was marked as error.
----------------------------------------This is getting silly now. Is it that hard to check return codes? I've turned off CEP2 until these problems get resolved. This project is too frustrating. BTW, something needs to be done about the long runtimes. If this project can't run properly with reasonable runtimes (6-12 hrs) then it's time to end it. Being opt-in doesn't cut it. I have two dedicated 3.0ghz quad core crunchers with lots of memory having problems with this project. How much hardware is needed to run this project efficiently? I will be stopping CEP2 altogether in a few months when I reach 10 years.

Hi AgrFan, I can empathise with your situation, although I'm sure that everyone behind the scenes are attempting to iron out these issues.
----------------------------------------What I have to keep reminding myself, is that, occasionally 'Science isn't simple' - and that's certainly true of this particular project. BUT, I'm sure that, in due course, these issues (and the numerous ones which will face the scientists after we've finished the "crunching"), will eventually get resolved - resulting in the end goal of more efficient/cheaper solar energy.  |

It is better to get higher-quality science and have a few fail occasionally than to get perfect results that don't accomplish as much.
