The next error, once the DLLs are in place, is usually 0xc0000374 for memory heap corruption. They'll need to go back to code, and see where they're writing outside the bounds of allocated memory, for that one.


Posted to the thread as well.

It is known, mainly BOINC is trying to fill up the most efficient device first.

There are a lot of posts on the main SETI boards about this problem.

Yes, please take it up with development. David Anderson to be precise, he's the most knowledgeable at this time.


I just sent off a email to the Alpha list on this matter.

Looks like there is a new version to check and it includes this item.

- client: fix divide-by-zero bug in calculation of priority of projects with zero resource share


[edit]
Nope, still keeps requesting work from a zero resource share project while my cache is full of primary work.

BOINC 7 uses a completely new method of calculating debt, with a from the ground up newly written scheduler.

So the moment you installed 7.0.11, all previous debt values were forgotten, they're no longer used by this BOINC. So BOINC downloads one task from all the projects that are allowed to fetch work. You can easily set them back to ANT, as it won't do it again.


I don't think that is going to work because Milkyway does not allow for a large cache, currently it is 35 WU per GPU and BOINC is trying to fill the cache to the specified settings of 10 days and keeps requesting work from the other projects to do it.

With BOINC versions 6.10 and 6.12 you could set a resource share of "0" and work would only be fetched when you were out of work on your primary projects.

My primary projects are SETI and Milkyway with resource shares of 100 and I have Collatz, Einstein and Primegrid at resource shares of 0.

I just installed 7.0.11 and BOINC starts requesting work from all projects irregardless of the resource share.

I have since set NNT on those projects so they do not continually download work for now, but that does not help if I run out of work for one of my main projects.

I will run out of work in 3 minutes :-(


Down for me in the US as well.

With that said, the developers don't know either.
Yet there's one but: Normally you won't see GUI RPC requests showing in your messages, so do you have <gui_rpc_debug> (or <guirpc_debug> in pre-6.11 versions) on in cc_config.xml?

You could disable that (set to zero, or remove the line), save changes and let BOINC read the config file again. At least then you don't see these requests. They don't seem to be harmful either.


I might have had them set at one time, but I removed them for one reason or the other.

All that is in the cc_config.xml is
<cc_config>
    <log_flags>
    </log_flags>
    <options>
    </options>
</cc_config>


Nothing has been logged since then either.

I have no ports opened on my router and it only shows up on my Mac.

Internet search shows the IP range is all from HP.

Could it be coming from the printer?

Anyone have any information about Collatz -- been offline for a day and a half. That project has been very solid for the past year with only a few shorter outages.


It just came back up, has the following news on the front page now.

Server Status - Good and Bad
The server is up but the work generator is not. That is on purpose. The server reports that the boot drive needs to be replaced which means reinstalling Linux, Apache, MySQL, etc. Unfortunately, that disk also contains the partician for the WUs waiting to be sent out. I won't have time to replace it until this weekend. So, until then, I'd rather be cautious and not generate any new work just in case Mr. Murphy is still hanging around. You should be able to return any completed results in the mean time so your BOINC client doesn't get overwhelmed with the number of workunits it tries to monitor.

You would probably want to install as a daemon then and only have the manager accessible from your account.
