5) Message boards : News : BHDB application (Message 2671) Posted 10 Mar 2018 by pututu Post: I've yet to find which WU numbers that are stable. When I downloaded some WUs, I manually check which WU has more than one error and abort the WU. See some examples below. https://universeathome.pl/universe/workunit.php?wuid=14675480 https://universeathome.pl/universe/workunit.php?wuid=14676630 Can the project admin set the max number of error in the "max # of error/total/success tasks" to be like 1 or 2? Currently it is set to 4 which I think is too high.

8) Message boards : Number crunching : Extremely long Elapsed and Remaining Times (Message 2563) Posted 10 Jan 2018 by pututu Post: When running the CPU with one full core free (22 out of 24 in my case), after more than three full days, I've not seen any task with extreme long times. Maybe lucky or the problem has just disappeared. I'll monitor this closely. Keeping my fingers crossed. PS. I use to see one or two very long tasks every one or two days. Here is my rig: https://universeathome.pl/universe/results.php?hostid=41909 Last aborted WU was on Jan 5th.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Extremely long Elapsed and Remaining Times (Message 2555) Posted 9 Jan 2018 by pututu Post: I think I'm seeing the same problem too. Here is my observation: I experimented with a 12C/24T xeon system (Win 7) and dedicated to run only Universe project. Sometimes there are one or two WUs that takes forever to finish. When I suspended this project, I should expect the CPU utilization to go down to 1% or less (started off with 100% CPU utilization, load 24 threads) but it shows one or two threads still running after suspending the project via BOINC manager. The windows task manager shows one or two "BHspin2_1_windows_intel86.exe" tasks still running outside of BOINC manager control. There are now a total of 25 or 26 BHspin2 tasks instead of 24 tasks. Perhaps these one or two tasks running outside the control of BOINC manager is robbing the CPU time for the other one or two tasks controlled by the BOINC manager, hence that one or two tasks never complete. I'm not sure if anyone is seeing the same thing. I don't know what causes this. I'm currently experimenting running 22 out of 24 threads on that machine since yesterday to see if this makes any difference.
