Too many exit(o) zeros

"Too many exit(0) zeros" errors. Cause = ?

Dell Ultrabook, quad CPU's, w/Windows 7.

Re: Too many exit(o) zeros

This could be a sign that the computer was turned off or restarted before the task had a chance to make a checkpoint. How long was the task running for?

Re: Too many exit(o) zeros

Speedy -- Quite some time (exact #hrs not known). That raises
another issue. Earlier works would take approx. 4hrs CPU time,
but the actual time was much greater. Before getting beyond
a certain number of hrs, the WU would return to an earlier period
of time.

Perhaps, OET, by its design, can't tolerate "snoozing"? This
computer is not dedicated to any one project, and needs that
option to address other operations, in the course of the day.

That said, other earlier WU's never failed (to this extent, anyway).
So, am wondering what might have changed in terms of the latest
WU requirements.

Re: Too many exit(o) zeros

Thanks for your response. Have you tried this suggestion in the link that Rob posted?

Re: Too many exit(o) zeros

Speedy -- I've copied his list of corrective actions, and am in the process of addressing them. I'll probably look into CPU time allocation (It's reduced, although has not seemed to have caused
WCG problems, in the past.). Also, will check leaving work in memory.

Again, something has changed -- and am beginning to suspect
Norton 360. Am going to have it avoid scanning BOINC projects;
it has caused the rejection of one CPDN WU, in the past.

Thanks, for coming back to me.

I think that the Ebola project should hold off on the number of
WU's they send, until I can get a handle on this. It's starting to
impact other BOINC projects, and I want to give all projects an
equal amount of time.

I'll keep you posted.

Re: Too many exit(o) zeros

Speedy, Rob -- Without listing all the changed I've made to OET, the problem appears to be in interruptions to the GPU operation.
These are usually initiated by my using the cursor, for various reasons, resulting in suspending/resuming of GPU operations.

Note: I've changed, "Work on Graphic Card" from "yes" to "no".
I assume that would force the OET op. onto CPU usage, exclusively.

Perhaps, not.

In any event, it appears that OET should be a CPU op., only.

Note1: Einstein, for example, has GPU applications, and its WU's
can "ride-through" interruptions. Evidently, the nature of OET
is not as forgiving.

Your ideas?

jmartin1936,
OET1 does not use the GPU so that will have no effect on it.

Re: Too many exit(o) zeros

rr967 --

That makes things quite puzzling, then, from this end.

Examples:

1) All movements of the cursor, resulted in an "exit with 0 status"
(e0s) condition. Until I made some changes to my preferences,
GPU statuses would, also, be outputted; they were not
outputted, towards the end of my trouble-shooting exercise.
A loss of %completed time, however, would always result,
with total %completed times increasing only incrementally.

2) Changes to the line position of the OET WU, on the BOINC
Manager "Tasks" window would result in e0s.

3) Outputs onto the BOINC Event Log, by QCN would, often, result
in e0s.

4) Even without user inputs, background (system?/3rd-party?)
programs would cause eos. The exact source of the interruptions
to the OET WU operations remains unknown.

5) As added info., all BOINC folders were exempt from both the
the N360 and MalwareByte anti-virus programs.

Work was optioned to be left in memory, and 100% CPU
usage was made.

In order to get OET1_0000613-xEBGP-F_rig_75964_0-- to
successfully complete, I had to "suspend" all other BOINC/OET
WU's, except QCN. This would free up approx. three of the four
on-board CPU's, in my Dell.

Any ideas, as to the cause(s) for the eos errs.?

Re: Too many exit(o) zeros

After a reboot please post the first 30-45 lines of the startup messages. This will give us some additional information in order to troubleshoot your problem. rr967 is correct, in fact there is no current research on WCG which uses the GPU for processing.
Cheers
