Getting a lot of work done, but out of 400,000 WUs over the last seven days still have about 8000 errors (2% and decreasing I think). The main problem is EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED but also "Can't create process". A side effect is a mess up with credits. I have increased the fpops bound to help, I hope, and today "reset credit statistics". Please be patient about credits and I shall see what happens and if we can compensate somehow. Unfortunately today I discovered a result difference, only one, but I need to do more checking. I see no invalid results so the former Linux/Windoes discrepancy is largely resolved. My priority is the integrity of the results and I may have to spend some days pinning down the result difference, checking various ifort versions, and doing more checks and tests. We have a macOS executable under test. Thank you for your patience, understanding and support. Eric. (P.S. Getting correct identical results on any PC from a Pentium 3 to the latest, with a multitude of versions of Linux, Windows and macOS is not easy! I can publish only when the LHC@home service is > 99%. Afterwards GPU, Android, and 10 million turns)
