You're still trying Jacob. Fair enough. I don't crunch here anymore, his attitude is damaging to the entire BOINC environment. It is a real shame.

You've been offered help, and have turned it down.

Sorry, can't edit, I can see you added the compilers later, was not there when I wrote the above.

I am assuming that the problem started about the time of the thread, certainly, I had not seen the fault before I posted in here. But that is an assumption. Are we SURE the problem started about then? Do you have error rates for periods earlier?

What compiler are you using for Windows?

Trying to narrow some gaps, throw out certain ideas etc.

Did you change something around Christmas time? It was okay before Christmas, and problematic afterwards. I don't just mean the program, changes may be in the data etc. What compiler do you use?

I posted about this in December also. It had been running fine until then. Something must have changed to create the issue. What changed?

Me too. My machines run 24/7/365, they run BOINC and web servers. I restart a machine when I need too. The restarts might be months apart.

Off topic, but I have had no work from RNA for months.

Because his current application is stealing computer time from other projects. The BOINC work ethic is fit it and forget it, he by continuing to issue work units with the problem, goes against that ethic, and he should be held accountable for that.

It is not just me, it could be a large number of people who don't or can't pay careful attention to their systems. I have never suggested anyone drop the project, I have suggested, quite reasonably, that he fixes it and does not make the problem any worse by pumping out work units.

This is the here and now. You are advocating he continues to waste other peoples machine resources, because "you're alright" basically, how noble.

>>> I would be disappointed if the project was put on hold until the problem was fixed just because some computers were experiencing difficulties.

I wonder how you would feel if it was one of your systems that was having its resources stolen. What is more, he KNOWS the problem exists, yet continues to send the work units with it included. Help has been offered, and rejected. You say you would be disapointed, I AM disappointed.

On the info available I am forced to be vague, but are your own and BOINC's statics "names" being hashed, and you are getting a hash clash? Hell this is frustrating.

If the routines in the libraries have not changed, then the way you call the routines, the parameters you pass them, type, number etc., you say compile, so presumably it is not a linking problem. You will understand, without the code, or specific error messages from the compiler, it is not possible to be specific. Have you changed versions of something somewhere?

Some of our embedded systems had over a million lines of code.

Agree with Jacob, there are people that would help you if they knew what the REAL situation was, you did say you had a fix but couldn't compile it for example.

What he has said is that there is a fix, but for some reason he can't compile it, sounds odd to me, but then, I've only been a software engineer for 30 years, what would I know. Nobody has said stop the project, what has been, quite rightly said, is that the situation he seems happy to live with, some of his crunchers are not. He fixes the problem, or looses crunchers, his choice.

I think you should suspend work unit production until this is fixed. There are peoples machines wasting days of CPU time, which obviously could be doing useful work, You are not winning friends continuing the way you are.

So, another week, seems like problems still arise, so I assume the fix has not been released. Update?

Something I noticed when beginning to post this, I did not notice I was logged in already, and went to the login page, put my name and password in, but trying to to submit the form, got a 404. Trivial.
