Post by arisu »

Folding on a GTX 770M using OpenCL, failure is always immediate, mostly ending in this error:

Code: Select all

ERROR:exception: Called setPositions() on a Context with the wrong number of positions
However, one work unit ended in this error:

Code: Select all

ERROR:exception: Unknown property 'z' in node '
ERROR:          '
Full log showing the first error:

Code: Select all

The only WU with 17925 that survived was R30 C58 G14, but R10 G143 G18, R0 C117 G9, and R29 C57 G7 failed with one of the above errors. Notably, the three failures all occurred in a row (WU214, WU215, WU216). The WU that survived was WU113 back in April.

I have a copy of the work directories (wudata_01.dat, wuresults_01.dat, and logfile_01.dat) for each of these failures if it would be helpful.

Re: 17925, setPositions() and unknown property, BAD_WORK_UNIT

Post by arisu »

The "unknown property z in node" error in R0 C117 G9 looks like it was caused by a truncated state.xml file. It was NOT truncated by my computer. The wudata_01.dat file is a tar file with a special header, and the state.xml file simply... ends. Here is a hexdump of the relevant portion of the (decompressed but not extracted) wudata_01.dat:

This shows that it was truncated on the server (or before being sent to the server) before being packaged into wudata_01.dat and being signed/checksummed.

The last 5 lines of state.xml after extracting, because it is easier to see the truncation this way than seeing it in the above hexdump:

I haven't found out what the setPositions() error is caused by yet. These three work units have failed on different people's computers about 70 times each.

I'm sure he's already aware that failures are occurring, but I messaged paul30 (the project manager) with this particular finding just in case it helps speed up the investigation into the root cause.

Yes, these are bad WUs (corrupted files on the server). I reported them to the researcher.

How long ago did you report them? Maybe I did all this investigation for nothing. :lol:
