Hi,

I have a LHC-WU, that is at 100%, but still shows running. With Seti, there could happen, that the client showed 100% and was still running, but this "running after 100%" took only some minutes.

I have watched this LHC-WU for several hours, it still says 100%, running. The Task-Manager is showing, that 0% processing power is used by sixtrack 4.46

The box is a HT (=2 processors). The other processor is running CPDN fine.

BOINC client is 4.09 on WIN XP PROF, SP1

I have restarted BOINC-Client and the whole box, nothing changed.

Task-Manager shows "only" 50% used processing power, because CPDN is running on the second processor.

I will watch it a little bit longer, than try the new BOINC-Client 4.12. If this doesn't help, I fear, I will have to reset the LHC-project on this box.



Supporting BOINC, because it is really a great concept !

Instead of resetting the whole thing, you could carefully try to remove the single damaged WU from your client_state.xml

- Make a backup copy of the XML files in the BOINC root directory or better of your complete BOINC directory

- edit client_state.xml and remove the one section

[file_info]
[name]??????????.zip[/name]

[/file_info]

where the name value equals the name of your stuck work unit. Be sure to remove the complete section, not more and not less.

If the work unit is gone there, the client should recognize that. It will still be in the project folder of course but you can remove that later.


Oh - and _before_ you do all this : Check, if your global_prefs.xml has [max_cpus]2[/max_cpus] in the venue that you have set for this computer !!!

After installing CC 4.12, the WU finished within 2 minutes with a fortran-error ...
