World Community Grid

WCGs mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. You can choose from various work units to crunch: Fight AIDS, cure Cancer or support the Human Proteome Folding projects amongst many. (Previously supported by IBM).

Just got a message 'Windows increasing virtual memory, something might not work etc' . After that it downloaded 3 WCU WU's OK - but they all reported 'Unrecoverable error for result (whatever) - (Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0X1))' without even starting!

Ho Hum - I was wondering when it'd reach it's limit.
I got a similar type error message:

Unrecoverable error for result (whatever) - (The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3) - exit code 3 (0X3)

on a P3/600Mhz with 128Mb.

Maybe the "memory" is now a limitation? Was working fine until about 00:08 this morning when trying to download new WU's...

Maybe somethings changed at WCG?

140th Position now, hopefully up some more places before the crunch weekend starts and then another boost to the stats after the crunch

A word of warning
19/06/2006 13:12:36|World Community Grid|Unrecoverable error for result faah0589_d292cb180_x1hpv_00_0 (No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept. (0x47) - exit code 71 (0x47))
A nice way of losing 9 hours of crunching.........

This causes a 'Computing Error' and your result gets trashed even though it was completed and trying to upload.

Right well Tim has moved everything around so WCG is now in the main forum.

So who's in for crunching WCG then and getting some more science done whilst also increasing our ranking to something better than what it is.

This is the only project we are not very good at for the moment

Like a huge tanker that takes ages to change directions we're getting there! It's taken all week but we actually went up 2 world places to #108 yesterday. According to BS Stats we may get back into to top 100 by the end of the month.

We should be able to overtake 'UK' in 15 days at current rate - they're at 98. They're still classed as 'International' but obviously they're a UK team and, as such, are a legitimate target as they may re-class as UK any time and take our position as UK #1 team.

UK have now been overtaken and we are less than 100 credits away from 100th place

We did that in style! A good two weeks early as well! Well done every one! Just 9 more days to go.

If you're getting this...

18/12/2007 20:25:07|World Community Grid|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.  Requesting 1067 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
18/12/2007 20:25:12|World Community Grid|Scheduler request failed: HTTP internal server error

It may be due to this...
We are changing some indexes to improve the db performance. While we do this you may observe error messages on the BOINC client.
Hopefully it should be back before everyone runs out of WUs!
