Join the club, i cancelled these WU's as well... i'll leave someone else to do them. Whats maddening is that one WU did 15 hrs CPU time and then died due to being out of memory :mad:

from burp official site:
Session 192 has been cancelled because it was hitting some of the hardcoded computational limits set for the test client. Credit will be given for the workunits where 2 or more succesful results have been returned. Unfortunately it was not practical to generate credit for workunits with only 1 result - however, you can rest assured that your results have been very valuable to the project.
The next sessions should start shortly. These both have a much lower expected resource usage.

BUt what happens if you share the cpu time of 50% each hour it changes back and forth, will the Wu start over?Originally Posted by AMD-USR_JL
I dropped all of mine, I let one hit 22 hours and I still had supposedly 42 minutes left of Work Time, Wholly MOther of MOses. I sure am glad I read the whole post. I thought My machine was whacked for a moment.
Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

even if you share it should never stop mid task within burp. At least thats what i found, with enstien and roseatta etc. it does but burp should complete.
the other day after a few hours my BOINC re-benchmarked itself. This cause the burp task to be removed from memory and therefore have to restart. This problem must effect everyone!

I got 512 Megs of RAM but somehow boinc says I don't, and doesn't let me download burp work. :?
It says I only have approximately 511.5 megs of ram and that I need about 500kbytes more to be able to crunch the workunits.
Anybody got a clue on this problem? I thought the old lower 640k vs. upper memory thing was gone since the days of DOS... :roll:

With 512mb of RAM you won't be able to crunch any of these session 192 units, trust me on that. It even failed on my 2nd machine that's got 1GB in it giving the tail-tale out of memory BOINC error code (0x2F)
At 15hrs+ a WU they can be truely evil, espically since they don't have checkpoints so it'll keep crunching those WU's without swapping projects.

neo all i can think is a reinstall. I think that is the only way for it to refresh all the hardware.
the most recent WU i got was a small one again, completed relitavley quickly like they used to!
