2675 (Run 3, Clone 111, Gen 132) - Slow - 17hrs for 1%

[parkut]

This WU is defective, with too many steps. Killed it after 17 hours compute
on the first step, as it will never finish in time.

If it does the same thing, you may have to shut down the client, delete queue.dat and unitinfo files and /work folder, then restart the client. It may take up to 5 repeats to get a new WU.

I just got a 26 million step Wu, that means 1% is 260K steps, this 2Ghz dual core running OS 10.6 Snow Leopard takes about 30 hours to run a 250k to 300k Wu
that means this work unit will take about 3000 hours, that's 125 Days, ouch!

[Miller855]

as of 3:21 UTC, just 1 hour ago, here is what InCrease says

[bollix47]

Projects in this range usually show 2500000 steps so 26 million is going to be a bad WU. Reporting it in the Problems with a specific WU forum and then deleting it until you get a 'good' WU is the 'normal' procedure. It's obvious that it won't finish before the final deadline.

Yep 2600002 that's a little specific don't you think..Got to be a bad one.
kiore.

[Miller855]

i just got i Wu with 26,000,002 steps 1% = 260k steps my iMac w/ a 2 Ghz, dual core intel chip and running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard
takes 30 hours for a 250k to 300k step wu, so this will take about 3000 hours, about 125 days, ouch!

*** I first reported this in the Mac OS X Clients forum they directed me here ****

EDIT by Mod: All three topics merged.
This WU has been reported to the Pande Group.

[Miller855]

i stopped it but now i can't get anything to run it says missing work file, i don't understand
here is the screen shot

[Miller855]

after reading other threads about problems getting wu's
i disabled folding@home, deleted my A2 core, unitinfo.txt, and queue.dat
reinstalled the software, and after 2 or 3 restarts it downloaded a new core and got a new wu
but all that took an hour, 5:11 UTC, but now i am back folding........

I got one of these, and it appears to be taking too long, and after a restart to make sure it wasn't the machine (a total of about 2 hours 45 minutes folding time), I'm now about to dump it.

[Ragnar Dan]

I just got this same WU one more time on the machine where it came last time. This time it's been on the machine for 4 hours and 44 minutes and made no progress.

I thought the purpose of this subforum was to alert Stanford to the existence of such WU's, and that would cause them (after investigation) to remove them from the servers so we wouldn't see them again. ?
