I have been a particiapant in rosetta@home for 8 years, and only rarely do my allocated tasks fail due to computation errors. Yet lately, all but one of about 20 of my tasks on beta 6.03 app, with the 7hal prefix to the task name have led to a 'computation error' message. Sometimes within a few moments of starting, but much more frequently, many times in excess of the original estimated 'remaining time.

When I first noticed the problem I got lots of failures (all the beta tasks I received), but they were mostly short ones. As time passed, I got more and more long ones failing. Still I got all failures.

Right now I have only Rosetta 4.20 tasks that work just fine.

Thanks for that, Jean-David. I'll abort any 7hal tasks that download, till I learn the problem has ben sorted.

Just abort the ones that never checkpoint. They either fail immediately, never checkpoint/compute error or complete/ok.

Mine would checkpoint within 11-12 min if they did. Not sure if this changes based on set run time in preferences. Mine were set for 12 hours.

I'm crunching, now, some "Hb_zero_test_7hal"
Maybe they decide to test a new version of these wus family (7hal)

I didn't notice those - interesting.
No sign of corrected 7hal tasks coming through yet, but I did grab some more rb tasks today

I spoke 12hrs too soon.
A fair few Beta 6.03 tasks have come down this morning with the name 7mer_run_af2_hal

24hrs later, a lot of Rosetta Beta 6.03 tasks have run, completed and credited with no errors and I'm now starting 8mer_run_af2_hal tasks as well which have started fine too
Looks like it was tasks, not the app. Good news

Maybe, in the future, we will see a new version of the app

0 should mean zero.
-1 should mean no limit.

0 should mean zero.
-1 should mean no limit.

I agree, either that or a dedicated tags in the app_config.xml file, one to disable the entire app and one to disable specific app version:

<app_config>
   [<app>
      <name>Application_Name</name>
      <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
      [<report_results_immediately/>]
      [<fraction_done_exact/>]
      [<disable_app/>]
      <gpu_versions>
          <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage>
          <cpu_usage>.4</cpu_usage>
      </gpu_versions>
    </app>]
   ...
   [<app_version>
       <app_name>Application_Name</app_name>
       [<plan_class>mt</plan_class>]
       [<avg_ncpus>x</avg_ncpus>]
       [<ngpus>x</ngpus>]
       [<cmdline>--nthreads 7</cmdline>]
       [<disable_app_version/>]
   </app_version>]
   ...
   [<project_max_concurrent>N</project_max_concurrent>]
   [<report_results_immediately/>]
</app_config>

This would help also in many other cases, like for example to disable the CUDA app on not ancient Nvidia cards on Moo! or in general disable inefficient or problematic app versions without that the servers retest them every now and than.

.

In the application page there is the new version, 6.04
Bugfix? New functionalities?

And, for Linux, a new version (6.05) at the end of October.
As usual, no info.

Out of the 13 WUs I got, 11 of the had computation error within 30 secs. The other 2 have so far run for 2 hours.

Yes, I've just come in to report the same error.

Running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS with Boinc 7.20.5 the tasks are Beta v6.05 with a name starting 08aaNewf_af2_8aa_dif_8

I've reset the project to pull down a new set of master files but it's a hard error.

I got a bunch of 36. All failed after a second or two of cpu time. One worked to completion correctly.
