1) Message boards : Number crunching : Tasks "suppressed pending completion" (Message 16749)
Posted 595 days ago by Mattia Verga

Thank you for clarification.
I'm having problems on projects with short deadlines since I've upgraded to Boinc 6.12.x, but for this particular WU the problem was it took 6 hours to complete, while my PC standard is 1 hour! :-p
I hope that the duration correction factor will adapt rapidly to avoid other missed tasks.

I've reported this task missing the deadline, now it doesn't validate and if I see to the WU it says that tasks in progress are "suppressed pending completion".

I have another task that I'm crunching and I can see the "suppressed pending completion" also in the new WU. What's going on?

This WU has a strange error I never seen before.
This is the output from Boinc:

lun 27 lug 2009 18:51:43 CEST malariacontrol.net Computation for task wu_700_550090_1_4_1248424713_2 finished
lun 27 lug 2009 18:51:43 CEST malariacontrol.net Output file wu_700_550090_1_4_1248424713_2_0 for task wu_700_550090_1_4_1248424713_2 absent

In the output I find

Exception: Error reading checkpoint: _MOI

Seems to affect all Tasks for this WU so far.

This one is very common, and we have yet to find the cause:

<core_client_version>6.3.21</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
CreateProcess() failed - This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. (0x36b1)

Maybe this WU can help you to find what's wrong: http://www.malariacontrol.net/workunit.php?wuid=17037653

My task is the only one that complete valid, you can see there are specific error messages of configuration errors, not a generic error:

Seems the same problem that appears under linux: outcome "success" but validate "invalid".

I confirm...
two WUs valid here and here
one invalid
and one pending (probably invalid).
