Hi all,
----------------------------------------I've seen all of my valid WUs except for one skipped the last job after giving an "Application exited with RC = 0x1" message during the second to last job. I'd like to know what does the last job consist of and why my laptop (Win 8.1 64 bit, Intel core i7 4700MQ, 4 GB RAM) skips the last job of the WU almost always. I noticed that the only WU which didn't skip any job is one of the shortest, however it isn't the shortest one. Is there something I can do to avoid this? I'm running one WU at a time without crunching any other project along with CEP, at most I'm surfing the web while crunching. I crunch 24/7 (I don't suspend BOINC nor suspend/ibernate O/S) and leave application in memory as suggested. Greetings EDIT I set no restrictions about CPU usage and the following about RAM memory:
My CPU is used less than 15% by CEP and the crunching requires only 65 MB of RAM memory size so I guess the return code isn't caused by insufficient hardware resources. My CPU works at reduced frequency (2.4 GHz instead of 3.4 GHz) because of OEM restriction to avoid overheating but in demanding projects like Primegrid it didn't hinder the crunching in any way so I suppose this isn't the cause of 0x1 RC. On message boards of some projects I've read that Hyper Threading could be a nuisance but in my PC BIOS isn't allowed to disable it. EDIT 8/5/15 I've received a bunch of WUs shorter than earlier ones and among them the WUs whose all seven jobs are performed are a greater number than before. Strangely, this WUs show a longer estimated computation size than the previous ones but their runtimes are shorter. [Edit 5 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 5, 2015 9:35:53 AM] |

I've also tried to remove the frequency limitation thus crunching a WU in less then three hours but the return code 0x1 didn't vanished so it shouldn't be caused by a run time exceeding a time limit (assuming there's one like an old version of the application of wich I've read about in this forum).

Do the results turn valid or error on the Result Status page? If valid, don't worry about it. It's a scientist non-problem.

As I've already said the WUs are valid.
I'd like to know what last job consists of since some other jobs have been briefly explained already but not this one. |

I have one that ran so far 16 hours 41 min on CPU with no check points I know its going to error....and I'll go back to getting checked again....oh well out of the 1,265 this little guy ran so far it's the only one I ever seen do that

Well it checked at 16:52:02 that's better then not at all I guess [Edit 3 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 31, 2015 7:06:23 PM] |

How do you see when a checkpoint is created?
TIA |

How do you see when a checkpoint is created? TIA In Boinc Manager, click on the task, then click on the properties tab on the left. |

Well it checked at 16:52:02 that's better then not at all I guess I got one that was toxic. Ran 18 hours with no checkpoint and errored because of that: E231980_ 640_ S.298.C36H24N6O2.VVCBRWSOHUDYHK-UHFFFAOYSA-N.8_ s1_ 14_ 0-- My PC is probably average to above average for speed. Task is now sent to a wingman, who hasn't returned results yet. Too bad. What bothers me a little bit is that it appears I now need a wingman for all clean energy tasks until my PC is again deemed "reliable".

I was using Siedentopf's expression (toxic). I am assuming that he meant everyone who runs this work unit will error out because of not completing the first task of the WU within 18 hours (I may have assumed wrong).
