I've had this problem for a couple of months, and since every task takes around 10 days and nights no tasks has been completed before failure. Is this a common issue? And is it possible to get shorter but more tasks? |

Always suspending tasks and waiting till you are 100%sure all disk writes are completed before closing Boinc reduces the failure rate but if shutting down every night few tasks are going to make it. Glenn will be running some tests soon which we hope will greatly reduce failures of these tasks however this is unlikely to be ready for the NZ batch which is due soon. The newly compiled code will be able to use some of the more advanced optimisation of recent processors so tasks should run faster reducing numbers of restarts. |

Yes, it's a known problem with this version of the code. If you are unable to successfully run tasks I suggest settings 'No new tasks' for the CPDN project until we roll out a new version of the code (sometime in the next month) (I've done this on my machine). The only thing you can possibly do is run only 1 boinc task at a time and shutdown any apps to make the machine as quiet as possible, as it's a memory issue that causes the problem.

I finally got to complete 4 projects! Every time prior my computer sleeps or has to be restarted, and as a result always ends up with the model failing because it was never able to restore from a previous backup properly. This time I was able to run 4 models at the same time (probably could have done 7 or 8) without problem and they ran for 4 days straight running my intel i9-13900HX at the high 4GHs range. Not sure if this is new to more recent work units, But, 4 day work units I can do regularly. Windows just has so many issues, but it would be great to have more people who can run work units correctly without having to resort to backing up and restoring it from a previous state. |

It's because the current batches are using a new version of the wah2 app, version 8.29. This fixes the problems with tasks crashing on restart. |
