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?

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. |

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

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. |

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? |

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.? [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Apr 18, 2015 6:37:09 PM] |

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.
