Max CPU time exceeded

[tutta55]

Those of you running Leiden, beware. Since a few days I have WU that error out due to max CPU time exceeded. See my post in the Leiden forum http://boinc.gorlaeus.net/forum_thread.php?id=197

This way I have lost over half a day of computing on my C2D

I haven't had this issue yet but if this becomes a frequent problem I'm taking my cycles elsewhere

Thanks, Krikke, for the moral support I hope the developers reply soon. Very soon. Or else I'm out too.

The dev answered. But the answer is more like a suggestion it would have anything to do with my machines. Which is very unlikely since it happens on 3 of them. And of course I got a sneer for running 5.5.0 on 1 of my machines. Not really the answers I was looking for. /me considering options to change project

[Krikke]

It seems that that 5.5.0 serves as good excuse for a lot of people.
I have been running it quite some time and did not have any issues so there must be some other reason.

If you change to another project (like ABC or something like that) let me know than I will give a boost there as well.

Btw I was looking my own WU in Leiden. I have no errors but as I run 5.5.0, it seems that most of my units don't earn any credit (5.5.0 claims more credit and they give gredit to the 2 lower claimers : each unit is sent to about 4 users and it seems that credit is granted to the 2 of them claiming the lowest amount). So about 1/2 of my crunched WU's are lost . I'll try to install a std version to see if it makes some difference.

For me my future participation in Leiden will depend on the reaction to my post:

Mark, as this is an error that caused major loss of credits, and I am talking thousands here for me and some of my teammates, (I know, I know, credits are not important ), it would be a nice gesture if all work units that errored out with "Max CPU time" be awarded a fair amount of credit after all. Something similar like happened in uFluids: they awarded all work units that were stuck, with an upper limit of 500. 500 may be a bit steep here. In my case a quick calculation shows that 8 hours of work on 1 core of my C2D amounts to a conservative estimate of 175 credits.

[Krikke]

I'll probably be switching to Rosetta.

It seems we got his attention now, even the news section got updated
We'll see what happens with lost credits, if they are not awarded I will not be crunching Leiden anymore. (yes it should all be about the science and not the credits but if another projects has great science AND credits the choice is quickly made).

Let's see what happens with the "lost" credit issue

[digitalnoiz]

If Leiden is giving that much problemo's (and I'm having some of my own also with Leiden - several errors) what other cause should I support. I mainly have Rosetta, uFluids and Spinhenge. At home I added CPDN again on my new CoreDuo.

RCN maybe ?

R.

I am trying to build up some credits in ABC. That's a new target then of course. If we can find something we can go for, I'm willing to consider it. With a number of people together, that's always more interesting.
