Regarding FightAIDS@Home suspended temporarily in Known Issues, which batch of WU's is bad? If we're just going to get errors on them, let's not waste time crunching them.

I'd have expected for Kevin to send out an instruction to the clients to cancel the suspect work.

Does this mean that none them got sent out or that they've pulled them back if they did? That is, should I expect that any FAAH WUs that I have are not going to error out on me from this problem?

I get the impression the problem was caught very early. It's rare for the techs to spot these problems before the members do.

I have a q 6600 oced to 2.8 ghz and apparently FAAH now takes 19 hours to crunch a single work unit. The PC is stable. Is there a problem with FAAH work units? Here is a screenshot of the erroneous looking units.

Lots of long FAAH work units have been showing up.

Keithhenry: There doesn't seem to be a direct answer here to your query re whether you'll get any more bad WUs from the recent batch, so ...
----------------------------------------The Return Times in my Results Status list showed that the first bad WUs my computer encountered were returned about 2 min, so no crunching time was wasted. What seems to have been the rest showed in my BOINC Tasks tab for a while as "Aborted by project". Again no crunching time was wasted. So it seems that all of the recent bad WUs have been recalled/aborted. However, there are other recent WUs that are OK, but take about 4 x longer than normal to crunch. Both these and the bad ones have names starting "faah50xx_". [Edit 1 times, last edit by Rickjb at Jul 28, 2008 8:56:10 AM] |

Currently, time to completion is projected at about 5:30. It's the faah4188 WUs that have completion times projected at 10+ hours. Results status shows no Error or Invalid WUs. |
