21) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6335) Posted 12 Jan 2024 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Houston; we have a problem. Uploads not going through, Scheduler requests Timing out. Something's broken again. Edit- Oh, and the website & forums are extremely sluggish.
22) Message boards : Number crunching : Unable to add project (Message 6330) Posted 5 Jan 2024 by Grant (SSSF) Post: No Boinc update What does that mean??? BOINC doesn't update automatically, you need to download the latest version & install it over the currently installed version. In the BOINC Manager click on Help, "Check for new BOINC version", and it will give you the web address.
23) Message boards : Number crunching : Unable to add project (Message 6326) Posted 5 Jan 2024 by Grant (SSSF) Post: After weeks of being unable to upload completed tasks, I removed this project. Now I cannot re add it either. Something is seriously wrong. On your Core i9? It's got an old version of BOINC on it (which can cause issues when trying to add Rosetta), upgrade it to the current version, then try your luck.
24) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6317) Posted 19 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: And the servers live again. Able to report work, & getting new work.
25) Message boards : Number crunching : Tasks not uploading? (Message 6314) Posted 19 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Hi I have a lot of tasks that don't want to upload. They're just sitting there as "Ready fo report" If they are "Ready to report" then they have already been uploaded. Yes, there are presently problems with the project- checkout the Server Thread.
26) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6312) Posted 19 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: None of the back-end processes are running like the work generators or validators. Yep. I was able to get some tasks when i got up this morning before going in to work, but most of the system functions are down again, so reporting isn't possible again. feeder debian1 Not Running transitioner debian1 Not Running script_validator_new (BHspin2) debian1 Not Running script_validator_new2 (BHspin2) debian1 Not Running file_deleter debian1 Not Running file_deleter2 debian1 Not Running assimilator-BH2-r (BHspin2) debian1 Not Running assimilator-BH2-r2 (BHspin2) debian1 Not Running
27) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6304) Posted 18 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: We're back! So, what happened??? As expected, uploads are taking a lot of retries to go through. Scheduler requests are mostly timing out, but when they don't it's coming back with 18/12/2023 20:36:48 \| Universe@Home \| Server error: feeder not running and the completed Tasks aren't being reported.
28) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6294) Posted 2 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Well, whatever was going on seems to have cleared up now. No problems with uploads or Scheduler requests.
29) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6293) Posted 2 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: There appears to be an issue with the upload server. It's taking a few attempts to get uploads to go through, at few Bytes per second when they finally manage to get there. Edit- And the Scheduler as well- keeps timing out.
30) Message boards : Number crunching : Project Troubles (Message 6276) Posted 1 Nov 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Make sure you've got the current version installed- the problem you are describing is exactly what was occurring with the older versions (i think it was 7.16 and earlier).
31) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6264) Posted 6 Sep 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Well, i don't know where it went, but at least Universe is back again. From around 22:07 to 01:16 UTC everything was MIA. Taking quite a few re-tries, but uploads & downloads are eventually going through. And Scheduler responses are very hit and miss at present.
32) Message boards : Number crunching : 9 hours run time? (Message 6250) Posted 22 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: With your computer hidden it makes it hard to guess. I've yet to have a Task at Universe hang, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Under WIndows, the Task runtimes on my i7 8700k's vary from under 2 hours to over 6. Generaly they're between 2-5 hours. I'd suggest exiting BOINC, give it 10-20 seconds & then restart. See if the Task continues to process, and the Estimated completion time starts to decrease. If so, leave it for a while & see it if ends up completing, if not then i'd abort it.
33) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6247) Posted 22 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: About an hour and a half ago i started getting work again, but then 5 minutes ago i got a "Scheduler request failed: Couldn't resolve host name" error on a request for work. Next attempt was OK, but the response was back to "Project has no Tasks available".
34) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6245) Posted 21 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: We seem to be having issues- it just took a couple of tries for the Web site to come up. And for about the last 3 hours any request for work results in a "Project has no Tasks available" response, even though there's over 4 million meant to be ready to go.
35) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : No task for arm 64 bit (Message 6240) Posted 14 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Hey Keith! What dir is cc_config.xml file located? C:/ProgramData/BOINC or the LUNIX equivalent.
36) Message boards : Number crunching : Credits for day show 0 (Message 6237) Posted 10 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Your account shows 3 devices. 666538 Has processed & completed Tasks & has got Credit for that work. 666659 Downloaded work, but then all that was aborted by you, and it has since downloaded another 8 Tasks, but is yet to return any completed work. 666569 Presently has 11 Tasks, but is yet to return any completed work. Given it takes a day and a half for it to process a Task that an x86 system with Windows can do in a couple of hours (and there are Tasks that will take a Windows system as long as 6 hours), it's going to take a while for them to process any work & return it (from a day and a half- at best, to around 5 days, just for a single Task).
37) Message boards : Number crunching : New BOINC versions 22 May 2023 (Message 6233) Posted 29 Jun 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Release notes for 7.22.2 Windows/Linux/MacOS Add estimated time remaining for file transfers Add estimated completion date and completion before deadline columns to Tasks tab Add Estimated Completion column to Advanced view > Tasks Add not-in-use computing prefs boinc_cmd: add --get_task_summary command. Windows: add a cc_config.xml option <no_rdp_check>. Don't change user CPID if detach from oldest project Android Display disk usage on project tab Added an option to have task details always expanded
38) Message boards : Number crunching : Gpu App? (Message 6219) Posted 23 Jun 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Most Threadrippers have a significantly lower base, and somewhat lower boost, clock speeds. eg- Threadripper 3990X vs AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Base Clock 2.9 GHz 3.8 GHz Boost Clock 4.3 GHz 4.6 GHz Higher clock speed, shorter processing time. But if you have enough slower threads, then you still get more work done per hour than a higher clocked system with less cores/threads.
39) Message boards : Number crunching : Gpu App? (Message 6199) Posted 20 Jun 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Are we using Radeon GPUs here yet? Been awhile since I've been here and trying to catch up. There is no GPU application. CPU only.
40) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6195) Posted 18 Jun 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: And it's alive again, although it's taking a lot of Retries to return completed work & to get any new work. 2-4 minutes of transfer time (as much as 7min for some transfers), and probably 4-7 Scheduler requests to get a response that's not an error or a timeout.
