Odd. "Show Computers" only shows 3 PCs active on your account since May and none of the current results show any with errors. All completed results show as successful. Where are these errors you're reporting?

I've been getting this error on all 5 PCs[1073741819(0xC0000005)], More WUs have succeeded than errored out of course, Some PCs have updated graphics drivers(PC1 & PC2), Some don't(PC3-5), Some are overclocked to the max(PC2, PC4 & PC5), One is overclocked less(PC1) and One is at stock speed(PC3), 4 use XP x64 and a Native x64 Boinc Client(Crunch3r's Boinc 5.9.0.64, over Boinc 5.9.11 for XP x64) and 1 uses XP Pro and a Native x32 Boinc Client(Boinc 5.9.11 for XP Pro/2000), All Boincs are as updated as I feel is needed at present and the systems worked fine under Seti, I can only guess that since all 5 are using the same 32bit Beta Rosetta application namely:

rosetta@home rosetta_beta version 576

That It might be related to 5.76 somehow and I'm no scientist or programmer, Just a guy who runs PCs that I built Myself(Networked too, Self taught on the Networking, 27 years of computer usage and two computer courses in the early 80's in Basic and Computers[So I know the inner workings of a computer and understand the terms too, But then I've used 7 different OSes since then in 4 different types of computers up to the present time]). But then I'm pretty comfortable with computers and always have been for some reason.

On top of that I'm down to 3 WUs on PC1(1:20:00 almost)[XP x64],
PC2 has about 1.5 days[XP Pro],
PC3 has a little over 17 hours of work[XP x64],
PC4 has about 1.5 days and[XP x64],
PC5 has about 3.5 days[XP x64].

Is there anyway I can get an earlier version of 5.76 or is this less error prone than the earlier versions of the app or am I stuck with this until a newer version comes out?

Oh and I sweep My PCs for adware/spyware/malware and keep My AV software upto date.

The PCs stay pretty cool too, 4 use Vigor Monsoon II cpu coolers and 1 uses an XP120 & a 120mm cpu fan(PC2).

Batman, no you cannot control the Rosetta version that runs. This is determined by the project when you download work.

Here is a link to some BOINC info. on that error code 0xC0000005. One of the potential issues listed in memory. Have you run a memory test on these machines for an extended period of time? There are a number of other issues listed there which you might check.

I don't know why, but they neglect to mention the possibility that the project does have a bug. However, as you suggested, error rates have been getting lower with each new Rosetta release.

Am I correct to presume you saw fewer, if any, such errors on prior versions of Rosetta? Is there any commonality to the task names that are failing? Do you use the BOINC screensaver on these machines?

I'm running Boinc 5.9.0(64 bit) under XP x64 with the 5.76 "Beta" 32 bit app, Of course a 64 bit app would be nice, Maybe one will come about one day.

Why are you using an old original development version of BOINC when there is a much newer and has had lot of bugs removed version available.
(just curious)

@The_batman - What's preventing you from running R@H on your XP-X64 machines? I've got 20 machines, all running 64-bit linux, and they're crunching away at Rosetta. Rosetta is a much more beneficial project than SETI IMO.

If 64bit operating systems and CPUs were twice as fast at everything, you definitely would have seen press releases to that effect. They aren't. Performing a floating point operation still takes one clock tick. They can often move volumes of data faster, but Rosetta doesn't need much of that type of operation.

The current implementation is simply to allow the 32bit version of Rosetta to run on 64bit operating systems. So it is just a way to support a 64bit client, but no optimization for a 64bit environment has been performed at this point.

Hi,

My company has a policy that executables shouldn't be downloaded. I am unable to support you as the work units are not getting downloaded.Is there any other way for me to get the work units zipped?? Temporarily can you remove the .exe extension while sending the file??

Regards,
Kiran

i think it will download anything it is offered, problem is there is no platform setup on rosetta.
during upgrade i had existing units taken over. but now i cant return them:

The projects need to support the standard platform designation of "windows_x86_64" and not "windows_amd64" or whatever they're supporting now.

true but that's not the problem here.

Rosetta@home have not released a compatible 64bit client, though the will be using the boinc x86_64 when they bring the '64bit compatible' one over to here that is in testing at ralph@home. Note it's just the 32bit one made to look to the client like a 64bit one.

Both Linux and windows are being tested.
