but I dont know the reason.
I have a threaded application that uses four background threads and runs between 80 and 100 percent utilization on a quad processor. The program writes to the disk enough that the disk drive is mostly maxed out. It performs a set of calculations
that take several months to do, and for this reason, the results are written to a database.
On one computer the program ran okay, but on two others it would fail after several days of calculation. Finally I got tired of resetting it and I setup logging. The logging showed that it always failed between 2 and 3 AM. Since this
is when I have my Windows updates set to download, but not install, I turned that off, to not even download anymore.
The result is that now my C# program runs for days and days without breaking. What can I do to fix it so that the Windows update program does not ruin my calculation program? What is it I must be doing in order to cause this?
The same computer can run Visual studio without problems, or I can even watch Netflix without problems, or open multiple browsers all while the calculations are running, but apparently the windows download is causing some sort of conflict. (or else
it just has happened to have lasted much longer than ever before.)
Any suggestions?
