Program is now calculating from T/S 208802 which is many checkpoints back. Has data been corrupted? Has program crashed? Have many hours of CPU time been wasted? Is this a normal occurrence or should I abort? TIA - antipodean ID: 8946 · Reply Quote

It should on finding an error rewind to beginning of 3 day period then beginning of a month then beginning of a year. Only then will it decide it should give it. So I would advise you to leave it to see if it gets past the problem point. Visit BOINC WIKI for help And join BOINC Synergy for all the news in one place. ID: 8947 · Reply Quote
