airman Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I dno't know what to do....it gets to like the 30th step or so (depends) and then it says, [08:43:55] Simulation instability has been encountered. The run has entered a [08:43:55] state from which no further progress can be made. [08:43:55] If you often see other project units terminating early like this [08:43:55] too, you may wish to check the stability of your computer (issues [08:43:55] such as high temperature, overclocking, etc.). [08:43:55] Going to send back what have done. [08:43:55] logfile size: 9536 [08:43:55] - Writing 10218 bytes of core data to disk... [08:43:55] ... Done. that's 1, here's 2, [05:48:30] Completed 440000 out of 1000000 steps (44) [05:51:05] Gromacs cannot continue further. [05:51:05] Going to send back what have done. [05:51:05] logfile size: 43810 [05:51:05] - Writing 44346 bytes of core data to disk... [05:51:05]... Done. and 3, [07:28:36] Completed 19000 out of 100000 steps (19) [07:35:31] Gromacs cannot continue further. [07:35:31] Going to send back what have done.

hardnrg Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 do you have the -advmethods switch set? cos all that does is download the beta proteins which might mess up like that... also, i had a load of problems with FAH4Console version right when v5 came out so i upgraded to v5 and all was well... i'd like to get those in there before i suggest the usual possibilty of system instability and asking if you've done a Prime95 24 hour test after your latest oc tweak etc...

airman Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 yeah i was....mainly because a guide told me to. i took it off and i'll see what's goin on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 it (-advmethods) used to do something useful like give preference for/against gromacs or double-gromacs... that's what most of the guides are talkin about... since i removed it i haven't had any WUs just die apart from the v4/v5 thing which might have been more because i use EMIII to monitor/start/stop them...

Nemo Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I agree with hardnrg. I've stopped using -advmethods. I posted an explanation as to why a little while ago if you want to search for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Yeah, I don't know if those are errors from instability or not. Looks like they may have sent you some wonky proteins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I have seen that occassionally on some of my rigs (maybe twice). None of these rigs are OC'ed so I think it was the protein I got. You'll get partial credit for the protein, just not the full point value you would get if the protein finished. If, after taking off the -advmethods flag, you continue to see these errors, then I would back your OC off a little to see if that would help. One of the comments I remember reading over on the Folding Community forum from one of the mods is that Gromacs are the most stressful procedures you can ask a CPU to perform- even more so than Prime (take that for what it's worth). Edit: Check out this thread and see if it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeni Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I used to have that issue all the time, prevented me from joining the F@H team much earlier than I had, because I got that message on my first proteins for 3 different installs, it eventually went away on it's own I guess, as the 4th install had no mention of that, and it's been smooth folding ever since.
