Is this on a dedicated 24/7 machine? Since your an AMD fan, you going to build a bulldozer rig? If the prices of these chips are what I've been reading on the net, should be a good inexpensive build. Should be out soon to find out.

Should be out soon to find out. I have a mix of AMD and Intel machines. My fastest Intel Machines are an I7 990, I7 980, and 2600K. My fastest AMD is an 1100, and 1090. I am interested in getting a Bulldozer to replace my last dual processor and slowest machine, an AMD 6400. I am very interested in seeing how the Bulldozer compares to an Intel 2600k on price performance. All machines are dedicated 24x7.    |

Just got burned this morning when my Internet went down. Lost all my CEP2 that were in the middle of crunching. First time I have seen this. Kate, I feel your pain.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Bulldozer, too, and some actual performance benchmarks on it. I intend to build another crunching machine over my Christmas break. I'm very happy with the AMD 910e-based machine I built last year, and hope that Bulldozer will be competitive with Intel so I can go AMD again this time. |

Sorry to hear you had a similar problem. Frustrating, isn't it! Weird that CEP2 errors out on a bad connection. Glad I'm crunching only 4 at a time or would have been really ticked loosing an entire lot. Lost about 20 hours crunching.  Adjusted my upload time to only a few hours overnight hoping this doesn't happen again.

Internet failure when trying to upload a result seems to cause CEP2 units to restart from their most recent checkpoint and C4CW (and maybe DSFL -- haven't much experience with it yet) to error. :( Sekerob has commented on this kind of thing being a long-lived issue in BOINC. OK. I am a little confused. If it is trying to upload a result, isn't the WU done? If it is done, why would there be a checkpoint issue ? I run some machines which are only intermittently attached to the internet and I have never experienced this problem on an upload. Cheers It's not the WUs that are in the process of trying to upload that are harmed. It's other ones that are running when the failed upload occurs. Not all sciences seem to be affected -- on my set-ups, C4CW WUs error out and CEP2 WUs revert to a checkpoint. OK, I see. Never had that problem that I know of. Cheers
