SETI@Home Informational message -9 result overflow

From BOINC Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

A -9 result overflow error is a Seti specific error. It means that the science application was stopped because it found too much noise in the task. Trying to filter it all out would mean you needed a lot of disk space and memory.

These are specifically flagged with this error so the project can redo them, by re-splitting these tasks. Although they err out, you will get a minute amount of credit for them.
