Message 72 - Posted: 24 Feb 2015, 6:21:46 UTC

Congratulations Krzysztof on the setting up of the production server. As one can expect, problems will occur . "Huston, we have a problem". I only been running WU's for 4 to 8 hours on various machines. Results to date: In progress=1146, Pending =17, Errors=16 (All cancelled by project), Valid=1.

Since sending WU's are halted, the validator and assimilator are Not running, shall I continue to crunch the remaining 1146 units? will it be some use for the project? or should I abort them. I am not worried about the credit but I do not wish to waste Electricity if they are not worth anything..

You might also like to know that although I am on cable, my upload speed is only 13kbps and looking at the upload of just one unit, it will take over one hour to upload a unit that is close to 5MBps. Not complaining, but I thought you ought to know.

I'm surprised for errors on your computers. Overall fail rate for all WU's is 0.2208% (without counting aborted WU's).
Yes, you can continue as the cancelled by server units are probably from very first short batches started at the day one of project and cancelled by me due to bug in results template file.

I know that results files are large, but is nothing what I can do with this at the moment (the files are compressed, before compression they are up to 400MB together).

Hello all guys,
It seems the servor abort for the third user is due to tasks sent after the deadline for the second user.
http://universeathome.pl/universe/workunit.php?wuid=8187
it's not the only one for me.

Regards.

Hmm, I see few problems.

I can't find on your account computer with BOINC version 6.xx, but I can see v 5.10.45. I didn't test application with that old version of BOINC but I strongly suspect that this will not work due to file compression used in our project. Also as far as I know, only versions above 7.0 fully support file compression...

Also, we have small server problem today, can you maybe try to reset project?

Over the past day counted and checked several project tasks of a server. However, the situation has not changed. Must I refuse computing of these computers? Thank you for answer.

Which computers?

Can you give me a link to "problematic" computer, please?

I mean computers with boinc-client v.6.10.45 (3pcs in domain)
On your account I see only one broken task...
Yes, I know, but process download new WU's is continuously. Maybe it not important, but log file update everytime.
Can you give me a link to "problematic" computer, please?
I can only provide a log file. If look in general situation - project is computing. Question is correctly or not. Is there an additional burden on my PC's & your server?
Thank you.

If you are referring to the constant downloading of files when you have a Universe task on your computer and you are using an older BOINC Client of 6.xx.xx then this is normal.
I have BOINC Clients 6.12.41 and 6.12.43 and I get constant downloading files that clog up my log file.
It does not stop the Universe tasks being run, and whilst it is annoying there is nothing that seems to able to be done to stop it, other than upgrading BOINC Client to a 7.xx.xx version, this I have yet to do.

The downloading files are of zero byte length but take up some small amount of bandwidth. There are a number of earlier posts about this issue.
As I said it wont stop the project from running.

This is one of the last of the current batch of work units still out there See Here
It is still out there because it has a major problem.
The first volunteer had it running for over 171 hours before aborting the WU.
I aborted the same WU last night as it had reached over 36 Hours (still using CPU) and only showed just between 52% and 53%, which it had shown for many, many hours without moving.

Seems to be in an endless loop.

Aye, but if you look at the number of WUs out, it only says 34. It's actually been saying 10,000 for a whiles. Either there's not really 10,000 WUs or something is stuck. I think it's the former actually.

Krys, you are strangely quiet. Did you have another emergency departure?

I've got a whole bunch of problems with U@H in the moment.
Upload problems, no new work, calculation errors on several machines. I'll pause U@H until knowing more.

Ok.

Is only some resend ready to go at the moment, I'm also strongly work with MySQL server as database are growth rapidly recently (so, I have to remove some old results to get it back correctly).

We will not create new job until work on new app finishes and it takes while until UW team finish their work on it and I will port application to BOINC.

I hope this not takes to long.
