Just a heads up for the grid techs: The recent hb0xx series of WUs are having a lot of problems with errors where the job aborts immediately upon startup. One of mine died with this error:
<core_client_version>5.4.9</core_client_version> <message> Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1) </message> <stderr_txt> length mismatch in frag file total_residue: 0 length 2 </stderr_txt> but it's not just me. I'm seeing WUs in the log with 4 or 5 "Error" statuses returned, and 0 time claimed for each (e.g. hb052_01, hb062_03). None of these show any Valid returns, just Error or In Progress, so the In Progress ones probably haven't tried to start yet. But not all hb0xx units are borked; I'm just about to finish hb053_06_1 with no apparent problems. For what it's worth. |

Same here, 2 errors so far and the WU's were re-issued several more times with more errors and zero CPU time. I have 3 more waiting in line, we'll see how those go.

I wonder... if a work unit returns 3 or more errors, BOINC has a quorum result. I would guess that it marks it complete and kicks it out for analysis. The 4 or 5 results you see would be due to the normal BOINC retry policy - when it has 1 or 2 error results, it would send extra copies out in the hope of reaching a valid quorum.
Thanks for reporting it, but I really expect BOINC to have reported it automatically. |

Thanks for letting us know - there are significantly more errors with the hb batch then any others we have sent out previously. We will take a look and let people know what is going on.
----------------------------------------We have BOINC configured to mark a workunit as an error once 4 results have been returned as an error. At that point no new work is issued for the workunit and we take a look. Kevin [Edit 1 times, last edit by knreed at May 31, 2006 2:00:10 PM] |

Guys, knreed wrote
----------------------------------------We have seen a large number of errors with the hbXXX series of workunits for Human Proteome Folding on BOINC. We are looking into the problem now and will let you know what we find. That means anything starting with hb.... you can stop those and try others or try Faah to help find a cure against HIV

The latest on this is here: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=7442
No more HPF units are being sent out at the moment - switch to FA@H until its sorted. |

We have re-enabled the Human Proteome Folding project and are running workunits from batch 'ex'.
