Computation stopped at 75% of Progress. Below is a copy/paste from the messages section of Boinc.

I have a backup file that I made last week. Is it worth restoring for this error ?

I would say yes because the model\'s already completed about 70% of its 160 years. It was progressing very well. Congratulations for having a backup.

Unfortunately error code 22 gives us no clue about what caused the model crash, nor does the \'device does not recognize the command\' message. Ignore that message.

Have a look at the project READMEs linked in my signature. Go to the collection about crashes and problems, and in that collection look at item #6 by MikeMars. You may find something you should do in future, or avoid doing, to reduce the risk of model crashes.

If you restore the model, let us know please whether it passes the point where it crashed and then progresses.

I tried to restore two models, the crashed one and a normal one. (CPU is dual core)
The instruction I used for the restoring was “Simple guide to backups” of README. “The Procedure for Restoring Individual Crashed Runs in a multi Project/model Setup” looked too complicated for me who is not advanced user.
It seems the restoring was successfully done and these two models are normally running.
But data on “Tasks for user” are strange. Below are some of them.
(1)Crashed model
The same data generated at the crash remain. Server state : Over. Outcome: Client error. Client state: Compute error etc.
(2)Normal model
Server state: Over. Outcome: Client detached. Granted credits are given.

I would like to know if this restoring is good or not and if not what to do for the next step.
It will take few days before reaching the point crashed.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi again

This is normal. Here\'s your Tasks for computer page. If a healthy model is restored the server classifies it as \'detached\'. If the server learns about a model crash it classifies the model as crashed (compute error) and gives it the code and messages for that crash. Forever. However, it still accepts more trickles and uploads and lets models complete. But a previously-crashed model still keeps the server\'s earlier classification! Of course this doesn\'t prevent models being used for the research.

So what matters isn\'t these now-irrelevant classifications, it\'s whether the models are progressing and trickling.

Thanks for spending time on this. Completed models are naturally much more useful than unfinished ones.

Hi mo.v
It is my pleasure to tell you that the crashed model has passed 75%.
I don’t know the exact point where it crashed but it should be less than 75%.
The two restored models are normally progressing.

Thanks again.
