??? on points.

Just checked on my production to see where I am.
Shows at 998 WU.
Last was at 12/28 at 3AM.
But 9 points.
Do they take it as a freebie or what?
How can a WU be 0 points?

 

Hey hrlow2, can you post a portion of your log file where that WU ended?
May have some information in it.

Copy and paste from the file using code tags makes it easier to read here.
Code tag usage

 

Have 3 machines going and not sure which it was.

 

You should be able to back-track on the timing and estimate which one finished the WU. Or put all 3 partial logs in here.

 

Not really too concerned about it, as long as I got the WU credit.
Most of the WUs I have been getting are only 69 points each anyway.
Mostly a curiousity thing.

Sometimes there's a glitch in the servers.
Also could be a unit that has been sitting in the queue and finally gets sent but is after the deadline. I fired up an old machine this summer and it threw several hundred WUs with no points back in May - http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=159644

 

I've seen it too but never experienced it. I suspect it could be due to failed WU's but I'm not sure. Bill had a long fight with that and finally solved it though I can't recall what he did. I hope he pops in here.

 

Did they complete and not register any points or did you get an error code before completion?
I ran across some GPU WUs awhile back that failed but did not throw an EUE notification/Unstable Machine. If you get one of those, your machine will be timed out for 24 hours by the Stanford servers.

 

Just to clarify a bit here, Stanford will resend a failed WU two or three times and on the third failure then it will stop sending for 24 hrs. or you clean out your workfiles, unitinfo and queue to immediately grab a new and different WU. This usually happens with inherently bad WUs or from a too high of an overclock.

 

Hi. Stumbled across this topic and joined the effort. I had no idea and I'm sure there are plenty of others who haven't heard of this, can we spread the word around teh board again for newbies or others who never visit here?

Just a few questions.
Can I load several computers with this and run them all under my name? I have two servers that I have to leave on the network right now but are not doing much at all for a while.

What happened to the senior site members? Some haven't contributed in 3 years? Did something go wrong or just lost interest?

I personally have 3 machines folding at this time.

 

If you do not actually own this equipment, you need to have corporate permission to run this program. You would be costing the company $$$ in use of computer resources, energy resources and if someone sees an unknown process running, flags could go up in a big way.

Please see your immediate supervisor and/or his supervisor before installing this application. (There have been jobs lost because of this even with signed permissions/authorizations.)

 

As many computers as you have will be welcomed! Can you please post the specs of all your computers? Mainly CPU/GPU is needed to tailor a custom plan for you as there are various options to be had.

As to the seniors, people come and they go for whatever reason. Perhaps this forum does need a bit of 'dusting', David?:-D

Welcome to folding handygal and thanks for your contributions.:cool

 

It reminds me that I was going to post a guide here but never did.:-o Folding has changed so much in the past year and will change again in the near future, simplifying things for the end user.
