Subfield 5 almost complete
(Message 2468)
Posted 18 Jun 2019 by ![]() Post: Almost all SoB projects use two different computers to calculate a WU (For example, Primegrid, yoyo etc). Why do they do this? Because it looks like wasting of time. Recently I found out that because of QUANTUM EFFECTS tipical user computer may commit an error even if the source code is absolutely correct and user does not attempt to cheat. The longer task the more probability to commit an error by a computer. For example, a particle with high energy from the Sun or deep space may hit a CPU core while it is calculating a task. For example, I also take part in SoB project: https://www.primegrid.com/stats_sob_llr.php Their tasks are quite long (up to 24 days). My computer is working continuously and some of my SoB tasks are calculated incorrectly because of unknown reason. What do you think about this? |

Database crash
(Message 1947)
Posted 10 Jan 2018 by ![]() Post: You will notice that all those errors are "download errors". As Richard mentioned above this means the file does not exist anymore on the server. I also checked a few of these, and the server has the data, which means it got returned at some point. My best theory as to what happened is that while the database was crashing (which could have been over a period of hours), these results got returned, validated, assimilated, and then marked for deletion. The file_deleter did its job and deleted the file. During restoration of the database, some wus/results got put back to an earlier state. So the server is resending these results but the corresponding data file has already been deleted. Does this mean that such tasks lost forever? Or they will be recalculated somehow? Regards. |

Database crash
(Message 1943)
Posted 9 Jan 2018 by ![]() Post: I just discovered something else... although all the project daemons are working as expected, the create_work script cannot connect to the database, so it looks like we missed something when reinstalling mysql. Some WUs can be loaded successfully but the others cannot be loaded - "Error while loading" For example, https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/workunit.php?wuid=20780713 I have two dozens such WUs. |

(Message 1841)
Posted 29 Mar 2017 by ![]() Post: I don't do double checking because that would mean the project would have to wait twice as long to complete a search. The most likely reason for someone returning a faulty result would be deliberate maliciousness; do you know of any studies that show what percentage of users do that? Most of the "cheaters" find ways to artificially increase their FLOPS and/or compute time (like running many VMs in parallel) without compromising the results themselves. So do you mean that it is impossible for an incorrect result to be accepted for the project? |
