YAY! QMC has been down since 'bout last September. Shrubbin' one now - Clean Mobility claims it will take 47 hours...

Allrighty, I'll give it a shot. McClean McMobility says 61.17 hours...
...... "and the counting of the number shall not be 61.17"
Hope I can finish up these before they are due. I'm thinking I'll need some divine help.

Both of my cleanmobility units say 53+ hrs and these are just test units. Not even sure if they will be worth points

Although it initially says Clean Mobility WU's will take 47 hours, I've had 3 finish in 7.5 - 9.5 hours. Credit 225 - 290.

I see NO indication of Checkpointing!! Shocked

I am at 19 hours, with another estimated 56 hours
in front of me and it STILL says 0%

6 of 8 active WU's checkpointed within the last hour, 2 have not checked at all. Don't think stats are working, need to log into your account to see results.

Well I s'pose QMC is re-starting at Alpha status, we're helping them get things tuned up. Keep an eye on this, I'd like to add QMC to the PotM next month if we think it's ready...

I only have one WU - 34 Hrs (so far) - 41 Est. Remaining - Still 0% Progress

Zombie67 finished the WU and awaits some 1,600+ Credits
Mine is apparently doing NOTHING!

I went away for the weekend. Left the GMC@Home running with 4 WU. 2 had been running for a full day, 1 had only just started 12 hours. Checked the files when I got home today, 1 error out out apparently after 2 days. 2 are showing around 20% after 48 & 54 hours each .... but one did finish that I got 705 credits for. Smile

I feel pretty lucky after checking around. I see mostly errors with no credits for many users like this one>> http://qmcathome.org/results.php?hostid=200721&offset=0&show_names=0&state=0&appid=25 who's runtimes were very small but all 89 error-ed out. Mostly however I see a lot of HUGE run-times with lots of errors and miserly points.
I expect these last 2 WU will error out sometime within the next day or two... so I feel lucky to have at least gotten one out of four to finish in 2 1/2 days work. (4 cores but POEM was hogging one CPU core along with one GPU.)
Perhaps I'll return in September to try to add a few more CPU hours to the project stats now recorded in WUProp.

edit: Success at last !!! only 1 error, 1@35 hrs., 1@70 hrs., 1@78 hrs.
Time remaining = meaningless ... Progress bar = meaningless ... Excitement and Wonder = exceptional

Yeah these WU's are getting on my nerves too. I have one that has needed 24 minutes to complete for about the past 6 hours. Oh well, guess it's all part of a new re-start effort...

Blurf · Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2013 11:54 am Post subject:

and no checkpoints either

I dropped QMC today. The apps kept bringing up program failures on my machine

I just had a "meltdown" due to QMC .exe files. did a virus scan and they showed up. it really messed with Boinc. had several files error out and had to re install that Lunatics seti-optomiser.

Hope it's not too late, I noticed that those same two infected QMC files that my virus prog removed auto-replaced themselves when I fired up the BOINC client to replace all the SETI-WU's.
Sort of scarey.. my scanner said that my quarantine folder was attempted to be unlocked with a false password.
Pretty suspicious.
So I dumped it all... even the QMC related files in program data.
Rebooted computer twice and restarted BOINC client.
No harm no foul.... I hope.
