Investigating Increased Error Rate in Help Stop TB
We are currently investigating an increase in the error rate for the Help Stop TB application. It looks like there are some workunits which are ending in error for all copies. We will post updates to this thread as we learn more.

Thanks,
armstrdj

Re: Investigating Increased Error Rate in Help Stop TB
Thanks for letting me know.

I've received some wu with extensive memory usage causing them to not run and blocking other wu to run too.
Ok, the later is a personnel thing because I set boinc to keep paused wu in memory which is recommended for CEP2 for example.
These wu with extensive memory usage require ~20 GB or more (~25 GB virtual memory) on my linux servers.
I've cancelled these stuck wu.

While we investigate the error workunits we have temporarily stopped sending out any new work.

Re: Investigating Increased Error Rate in Help Stop TB
Will this project run on an i7 with 10GB of memory running windows 7 anytime in the future?

Do you know the site with the hardware requirements?
It did in the past and I'm pretty sure that it will again.
I suppose that something went wrong with the work generation causing the wu require 25 GB RAM instead of 250 MB.
