Post: Just to clarify most of the current jobs are part of the The "wlxu2_*" work unit type is the type that has been reported in this column and is the type that I have that report possible run times of 50 odd hours. Could also include wlxu7_* but I have not seen any of these. Conan |

Post: It looks like there is a small misunderstanding of the situation. Christoph, Arjan also has a Windows computer as well and it has not picked up any work since the 10/7/12, that is the system he can't get work on. Conan |

Post: Allowed work fetch again and this time work downloaded. PNI work units on 3 machines and SSE2 on the other. A number of work units downloaded on the Windows machines but only 1 each for the Linux machines. I am interested to see how they run as the Linux WUs before were way behind the 8 ball. Conan |

Post: Strange that after stopping LHC for a week or two due to the wrong applications being downloaded and Linux being so slow compared to Windows, that when I allow tasks I am unable to get any at all. Server says over 8,000 WUs ready to send. Keeps saying "Got 0 new tasks", "No tasks sent". Tried a reset and a detach and reattach but still the same, Linux and Windows. Oh well I did finally get to the 50,000 milestone the other week, guess I wont be getting to the 100,000 milestone any time soon, never mind I gave it a go. Conan |

Post: I think the lack of SSE3 detetion is a bug in 6.10.x some one else reported that on windows with Intel CPU. I tried a while ago to update to 6.12.34 on my Linux computers but I could not get it to work due to the missing version data on one of the files, and no matter what I tried and searched for I could not get it working so gave up. Same thing with 7.0.25 but worse as at least 3 files were missing version data that it claimed it needed. I sent this information through to BOINC Alpha Testing but have heard nothing back. Perhaps 7.0.28 is the response to my earlier problem? Perhaps not. I believe that compiling my own version of BOINC on that particular computer will get everything working, but not being a programmer I am reluctant to try this. I also read another user saying that once I go to 7.0.x it is hard to go back to an earlier version. I am already running 6.12.34 on my Windows computers and it has the same problem with BOINC not detecting my CPU attributes. So I will either continue running a lot slower than I am capable of doing or I will go elsewhere, I will think about it. Thanks anyway for your help and suggestions. Conan |

Post: Run time the same on my Windows 32 bit machines with the new 444.01 application against the old 443.07 application. My Linux 64 bit machine was taking up to 62,868 seconds (17.46 hours) to complete a 443.07 WU. Have not had a successful 444.01 WU yet as I got all the download failures yesterday. But I do have one running that after 12.14 Hours is at 77.107% with an estimate of 15.74 Hours to completion. Again not a lot of difference from the previous application, but a minor speed increase, nothing like the results that Eric was getting in testing. Computers are all AMD Phenom II 4 and 6 core. Conan EDIT:-- Well I think I know why the run times are nearly the same. On checking out what BOINC picks up for each CPU it does not detect SSE3 on any of my AMD Phenom II CPUs, which from what I have read all have this feature. Windows or Linux makes no difference. So I am running the non SSE3 version of the application due to BOINC not detecting all the attributes of my CPUs, which makes the project think I do not have this capability when in fact I do. |

Post: Thread is 2 years old but I have the same problem so used the old thread. All the following work units received the same message, all were running at the same time but were at different percentage completion times, yet all appear to have failed at the same time? Maybe a memory issue? 3645509 3645510 3645512 3645514 <
