Is this unit too big to upload?

There was a similar problem with the PAOLA_RND units.

http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=2970#24795

The previous issue was that some PAOLA_RNP tasks errored after they completed due to an incorrect output size.

The task you linked to failed on 3 known good systems.
The task also ran for ~2days on high end GPU's, while other long tasks completed in 1/4 of that time (half a day).
So it's a problem.


The only task that ran as 3.1 (which has a decent stderr output) said this,

-131 is a file size too big error; the output file run2-NOELIA_SMD-0-3-RND3019_0_4 was bigger than max_nbytes.

Probably the same/similar problem as before. Your Boinc event log would probably confirm this.

Hi all,

There was a problem indeed with the output size. The problem is now fixed and won't happen again, I apologize for all the inconvenience caused.

Sorry again,
Noelia.
