1) Message boards : Number crunching : No work unit errors since installing 5.2.6 (Message 2185) Posted 3 Nov 2005 by Nova_nz_w Post: Oooh that is weird! To throw another spanner in the works, my boxes at home (AMD Athlon, and Intel Celeron) have both had no problems with any of the random units. They are running TMR's optimized boinc clients.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : No work unit errors since installing 5.2.6 (Message 2097) Posted 2 Nov 2005 by Nova_nz_w Post: Previously on a Pentium M Laptop (Dothan core) I would always get an "incorrect function" error on the "random" work units (the test units completed fine). I tried Boinc 4.19, 4.45, 5.2.5 and still had errors. After installing Boinc 5.2.6 I have completed around 40 random units without fault. Hurrah!
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Loads and loads of computing errors today (Message 1998) Posted 31 Oct 2005 by Nova_nz_w Post: Back on the topic of computing errors... I have been watching my laptop (a 1.7Ghz Pentium M "Dothan") crunch the latest work units. It seems that all of the random "test" units are ok. However it is failing on the "random" units, without fail. I upgraded from 4.19 to 4.45 and now am on 5.2.5. All 3 applications have consistently failed on the random results. At home I have an AMD Athlon, running on one of TMR's optimized Boinc versions, and it has completed all of the random units without any problems. -edit- Forgot to mention that both machines are 100% on Rosetta.
