Folding Forum

I also successfully fold P6023 -- just not the evil WU in question. Currently, I've got Project 6023 (Run 0, Clone 81, Gen 45) folding on one of my Mac Minis (C2D T7600 @ 2.33GHz) with TPF=15 mins 45 sec.

Beware the evil WU!

Bruce -- Yes. Same machine. Between the two instances of the evil WU, the machine processed the following WUs: Assigned @ [February 26 17:35:48 UTC] Project: 6012 (Run 0, Clone 145, Gen 73) --> CoreStatus = 64 (Note that this WU was erroneously reassigned to this same machine below, even though succ...

The evil WU was recently reassigned to me... Exact same symptoms... Stuck at 0% completion and using only 300% of an idle Mac Pro... Unfortunately, I wasn't around to detect the situation earlier and just detected the repeat situation. Dumping that bad WU again. (Hope it will successfully complete f...

Got a strange one here... Recommend someone keep an eye out for it... Only uses 75% of dual C2D Mac Pro running latest Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Never gets to 1% frame completion -- just stays at 0% completion for hours. Normally frame times around 7 minutes... Manually terminated by user at 16:55:37 in ...

Like a bad penny, this one just came back and bit me again.

This one failed for me, too, but before even 1% was completed... It was running on Mac Pro with dual C2D processors and 8GB of memory assigned.

(No special action was needed to clear the bad WU -- automatically reassigned a different WU after repeated failure threshold passed.)

Ouch! This one got me, too...

Exact same behavior. Please flag this WU and remove it from the mix.

Like a bad penny, this one came back to me again today! Flat-lined. Bad WU. Recommend pulling it out of the work queue.

Got this assigned to one of my Mac Minis... Same symptoms with the latest 2.11 core.

I get the same problems with this WU. Keeps stopping all by itself after I restart it... --- Opening Log file [July 28 03:17:39 UTC] # Mac OS X SMP Console Edition ################################################ ############################################################################### Folding...

I just got this one again!... Hmmm!!!... Deleting again and moving on.

I just got this one assigned to me this morning... Hmmm... Deleting and moving on.

So true, susato... That's the reason why I select the equipment based on other longer-term factors (e.g., robustness for H/W and OS)... That's why I fold with Mac equipment.

Points are nice, but it's sustainability and support for the science that trumps all else!

@sortofageek -- I'm still having mixed success... I've been using the 6.23 public beta client, but it does not solve everything. Just had another similar failure today @ 92+% complete -- Project 3043 (Run 2, Clone 52, Gen 80)... Same failure symptoms so I didn't post and flood the boards. Alas, we p...
