Linux doesn't get any WU ?

Posted 14 Oct 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: Well, I'd been having problems, but lately I've had plenty of Ubuntu work coming through. :) I haven't checked, though, if some of my hosts are still having issues. |

Validate Windows v. Linux machines?

Posted 22 Sep 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: And to further clarify the answer, I believe that indicates you have enabled https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/HomogeneousRedundancy Probably with the "Coarse grain" setting? Wiki wrote: An "HR type" is a host classification. Currently the following HR types are defined: So WU's are only sent to "similar" hosts, so the validation doesn't have to worry about the line ending variations. Is that correct? |

Posted 12 Sep 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: Well, I've obviously been getting more work, but it's still nowhere near keeping all my cores busy. Oh well. I'll just keep plodding along slowly. :) |

Posted 29 Aug 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: Yup. Really gummed up if the steadily decreasing number of WU's in progress is any indicator. I personally don't have anything left. I'll hang around for when the log-jam breaks free, but I'm forced to work towards goals elsewhere in the interim. :) |

Posted 27 Aug 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: Agreed. Many other projects do actually indicate when they have no work available. As an example, here's a work request from Sztaki, a project that commonly doesn't have work available at all times of the day. Thu 27 Aug 2015 08:10:48 AM CDT | SZTAKI Desktop Grid | update requested by user Thu 27 Aug 2015 08:10:50 AM CDT | SZTAKI Desktop Grid | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Thu 27 Aug 2015 08:10:50 AM CDT | SZTAKI Desktop Grid | Requesting new tasks for CPU Thu 27 Aug 2015 08:10:52 AM CDT | SZTAKI Desktop Grid | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks Thu 27 Aug 2015 08:10:52 AM CDT | SZTAKI Desktop Grid | No work sent Thu 27 Aug 2015 08:10:52 AM CDT | SZTAKI Desktop Grid | (Project has no jobs available) But I don't know if they need to set something up in any of the server side configuration files to do so. |

Posted 25 Aug 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: Well, I'm still waiting for things to get better. Way to many cores that aren't getting work here. Looking for ideas. Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) Boinc (7.4.25) Min cache (I've tried .5, 1, 2 and 5) Additional Days (I've tried 1.25, 2, 3 and 10) I've removed most other projects and have taken the 2 left and set them to NNT and even Suspended them. Still not getting work. Yet, when I enable work fetch on one of those projects (SRBase), I get tons. I've tried adjusting the project specific dcf from the current calculated value of 1.00000, to 0.10000 with no improvement either. One thing that may be unique to my world is that almost all of my hosts are hitting the project using a single firewall source address. I'm sure I've got more coming at you than your average User. :) Just some sample work requests from a single representative host: Tue 25 Aug 2015 08:02:32 AM CDT | Universe@Home | [work_fetch] set_request() for CPU: ninst 12 nused_total 11.00 nidle_now 0.00 fetch share 1.00 req_inst 1.00 req_secs 10104408.83 |

Posted 23 Aug 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: Correct. Overnight some of my team mates saw the message that they'd hit the limit of tasks in progress of 8 per core. They also have indicated that limit seems to have since been lifted. :) |

Posted 23 Aug 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: Well, over the last 8 hours, things have slowly improved. Still have a slow trickle coming in, but also still not at a complete cache, even considering the current limit of 8 WU's per core. At least some of my hosts finally have more work on hand than cores. :) |

Posted 22 Aug 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: Now, as of about 30 minutes ago, I've started receiving messages after the work request "no applications" so hopefully that means we have something being worked on server side. :) |

Posted 22 Aug 2015 by Mumps [MM] Post: For much of the last two days, my Linux hosts have not been receiving much work. Even though the project indicates it has work, the common response to work requests is to simply receive 0 tasks. Is there a problem with availability of work for Linux? Or even in general? I don't have many Windows hosts, but they are also not getting much work when requested. Also, in reviewing my tasks that are "Pending" status, many of them report the matching WU is "Unsent" so there really should be work, but it seems it's not going out. |
