not to worry frooty dear, that happens with folding. what it means is that the math in the simulation itself went wonky and the simulation was a dud. not your fault at all. i'm pretty sure you get partial credit. if your boxen is overclocked you might have more troubles especially if you use the -forceasm flag.

Here's what Stanford has to say about it:

What is simulation instability? The simulation of molecular motion involves a great deal of computation. Each run consists of a number of time steps (each very small). At each time step, the position of the various atoms is calculated and updated, based on a number of factors. Sometimes, the simulation enters into a state that is not legal (i.e. atoms are too close, bonds are in impossible angles, etc.). At times like this, the Core exits, and information is uploaded to the server. The client will then get another assignment. If your computer is stable, then you haven't done anything wrong. On unstable computers, it is possible that the simulation instability was brought on by a fault of the system rather than something intrinsic to the work unit. Because of this, a work unit may be sent out again at some time if it is returned as having run into instability. In a given project, we expect a small percentage of units to encounter legitimate instability.

Whew, I thought because I didn't use that PC since early this AM I did something wrong. I was very mad at ME. Now I am OK with me and in love again.

Thanks for such a quick reply. #ni-1 #ni-1

I get these from time to time. In fact I think nearly everyone does if they wait long enough. I just accept it as fate and reassure myself that finding an instability might be useful science in itself (it defines a region of the simulation that doesn't work).

If you start getting a lot then you need to suspect your PC. I had one that was failing almost every unit it got. When I took the side off the computer I discovered that the heatsink fan was completely full of dusty fluff (or was it fur? Rolling Eyes )

Ni! Mr. Green

Thanks Sir Furry, I vacuum and blow my fan all the time, also I keep my CPU up on my desk and off the floor, since I have doggies. My HP downstairs looked and smelled like sawdust as it was the one I was using when we were building this house. My PC guys said it smelled like new pine. #ni-1

Get a grip mildew, I only blow my PC fan, to keep it nice and tidy. Mind in the gutter and on a Sunday too. Bad, bad boy!!! Twisted Evil #evil #evil Laughing #ni-1 #ni-2 Very Happy Shocked

Mildew,

You're brave, have you seen the size of the teeth on AF's giraffe Wink

Ni!
