Problems with 3xxx WU's in general.

Post by matte.2 »

According to the official stats I folded 343 WU's
As for the SMP client :
  • 171.64.65.64 gave me 181 units (P2653:181)
  • 171.64.65.63 gave me 17 units (P3051:2, P3060:2, p3062:2, p3064:5, p3065:6)
Since I started using the smp client I monitored my folding more close and see far more problems with the 3xxx than with the 2xxx units.
I'm having more hangs and errors on the few 3xxx units than on the 180+ 2653 units. (even the Fah stats-server seems to dislike them :wink: )

Most of them I am able to restart from copies (of work folder, client.cfg ...) that I try to make regularly.
Others I dropped as I prefer not to fold past the "preferred deadline".
Being able to restart makes me not loose all the time spent on folding but nevertheless a lot of hours my computer just produced hot air.

I realize the SMP-client is beta but it's the same client that's happilly folding lots of P2653's.

Is anyone else experiencing the same? Is is bad luck ? Are they haunted? :D

folding on a (Standard) Dell XPS (Q6600, 4GB memory)

More Details on some of the errors :

Code: Select all

P2653(Run 19, Clone 107, Gen 46) 
which seems to be a faulty WU that circulates since last year (http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1636)

P3064(Run 1, Clone 387, Gen 3) uploaded 25/04/2008 still awaiting 1753 points (http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2353)

P3062(Run 3, clone 119, Gen 6) EUE'd after 13% on 08/05/2008 when the client wanted to send the (incomplete) result he got an error, and then "Deleting current work unit & continuing..." (did not signal it as I noticed it only today)

Project: 3064 (Run 4, Clone 75, Gen 30) found it this morning at [08:11:06] still at 0% since [18:18:41] yesterday restarting made no sense as I would have passed the (preferred) deadline.

Not realy related but going even futher back I still have 2 open (unresolved) topics coincidentely regarding 3xxx's
Project: 3903 (Run 673, Clone 4, Gen 4) and 
Project: 3905 (Run 2833, Clone 4, Gen 4) from last december and early in january (http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=331&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15) 
As you can see coincidentely 3xxx's. (should not be related however)

Since the 20th March 2008, I've had 10 failures (10 that I know of anyway) across my 7 PC's - all on 3xxx WU's (3043's, 3062's and 3064's).
Also, when the PC's are all crunching 3xxx WU's, my PPD also goes down (compared to all crunching 2xxx WU's).
