3) Message boards : Number crunching : Computation errors (Message 25651) Posted 17 Jun 2013 by Gary Charpentier Post: Well no code is perfect; however SixTrack MacOS executable has passed the 18 standard tests. It is rather new though. The executable is 32-bit, so 64-bit shouldn't come into it really. maybe we should build with -g and traceback options at least to have a better idea where the crash occurred. If you could give me a pointer to WU I could rerun the case here at CERN or on my own MAC. Eric. Here are a couple of the 96 ... http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/workunit.php?wuid=7889834 http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/workunit.php?wuid=7889768
4) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : 64 Bit Mac Bus Error (Message 25650) Posted 16 Jun 2013 by Gary Charpentier Post: Is there a bug (32/64 int length) in the Mac version? Is there a spot where a pointer is cast to an int and then back? (Use size_t) That fails when run on a 64 bit Mac as the pointer is 64 bits wide but the int is 32. (The O/S intentionally writes zeros as the first four gigs of process space to force bus errors.) Could also be loading a 64 bit lib (framework) instead of a 32 bit lib. (check the link options) As these are happening with near zero run time it looks very much like a bug. This 64 bit machine is working fine on many other projects. <core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> process exited with code 193 (0xc1, -63) </message> <stderr_txt> SIGBUS: bus error Crashed executable name: sixtrack_apple_gen Machine type Intel 80486 (32-bit executable) System version: Macintosh OS 10.7.5 build 11G63 Thu Jun 13 11:50:51 2013 0 sixtrack_apple_gen 0x0020df9e PrintBacktrace (in sixtrack_apple_gen) + 1022 Thread 0 crashed with X86 Thread State (32-bit): eax: 0xffffffe1 ebx: 0x00000003 ecx: 0xbfffa61c edx: 0x9198ec22 edi: 0xbfffa678 esi: 0x00000003 ebp: 0xbfffa648 esp: 0xbfffa61c ss: 0x00000023 efl: 0x00000206 eip: 0x9198ec22 cs: 0x0000000b ds: 0x00000023 es: 0x00000023 fs: 0x00000000 gs: 0x0000000f

At one I have no problem getting to LHC@home. The other can\\\'t reach it. I reach as far as dewberry-ebrc.core-net.qmul.ac.uk [138.37.3.204] as hop 19. I see my other machine gets there as hop 16. Don\\\'t know why one stops there and the other gets through.

You could also make sure that your IP configuration doesn\\\'t have a TTL value set to 20. http://secfr.nerim.net/docs/fingerprint/en/ttl_default.html IP numbers match, not a DNS problem (my first thought) Tracert shows 30 returns. All the rest were the * * * kind. Only recent local change is SP3 for XP Pro. Web page you sent me to is so out of date it doesn't even list XP however another reference indicates the default is 128. The machine is trying to report a completed work unit so it obviously has connected in the past.
