Ohh great ... MORE Splitter Errors !

That's why we crunch Seti, it's exciting.

Can some one please tell me what this error is in my event log .

7/11/2015 8:54:35 AM | | app version refers to missing GPU type C0.5DA

I redid Lunatic and changed from AVX on the CPU to sse3 and change GPU to sse4.1 from AVX so I'm shore that's what caused it so I'm not to worried.

Bionic seems to be working ok but I would like to clean it up and have no errors any advise most help full thanks

Your Intel system is a Core 2 Quad, so SSSE3 would be best application (notice the 3 S es). For both systems CUDA50 would be the best application for the video cards.

Thanks Grant not shore if you where talking to me but it's the AMD that has the error , I did load CUDA 50 with Lunatics witch is why I ask if anybody knows what it means or why it's saying the error .
It says I have CUDA 50 in the client and is doing them but thanks for the advise .

Now it seems that RTS is recovering.

Maybe those many resends of those "corrupted" tasks helps a little bit.

Now it seems that RTS is recovering.

Maybe those many resends of those "corrupted" tasks helps a little bit.

There have been many fewer shorties in recent tapes. Because my work fetch is constrained by the 100 WU quota limit (rather than the 1 day cache setting), I drain far fewer tasks from RTS while working on the chewy ones.

Yes, You are right, that is also helping RTS recovery.

EDIT: Downside of RTS, now those "corrupted" wu's stay longer in action... Previously when I did abort one of those, it was sent to next host at once. Now they stay in buffer for some time.

Like this WU

Richard, I'm fairly certain you've explained how to decode the

job_log_setiathome.berkeley.edu.txt

file - I can so far into a typical line, but how does one get the run date?

1241909224.687500 ue 40434.450553 ct 17077.450000 fe 80360000000000.000000 nm 21fe09ae.26657.73409.6.8.83_1 et 18191.468750

The bits I've identified:

21fe09ae

- the "tape"

26657

- splitter process id

80360000000000.000000 nm

- looks to be something to do with the observation frequency

17077.450000 fe

- is this the bit to do with the observation date & time stamp?


I've got four large files of this data (one for each of my crunchers), and it would be interesting to decode them and see how it stacks with your published records.

Not quite. Remember that this is a BOINC log, and it is kept in the same format for all projects - so it only contains processing and administration data, no science (forget the observation frequency).

I would break it down as follows:

() 1241909224.687500
Processing time (task completion), in Unix timestamp format. http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm makes your example Sat, 09 May 2009 22:47:04 GMT

Using Microsoft tools (Access, in particular), I use

Format$(Int(Min([Datestamp])/86400)+25569,"dd-mmm-yyyy")

to get the first ('minimum') processing date for each tape: 25569 accounts for the difference between the start of the Microsoft epoch (31 December 1899) and the start of the Unix epoch (1 January 1970)

(ue) 40434.450553
I believe this is the original estimated runtime for the task.

(ct) 17077.450000
CPU time used during processing.

(fe) 80360000000000.000000
FLOPs estimation (<rsc_fpops_est>).

(nm) 21fe09ae.26657.73409.6.8.83_1
Task name - project-specific elements.

(et) 18191.468750
Elapsed time for processing.

To confirm the processing time - this machine finished a task at 1446904926 (no microseconds logged by more recent clients), or Sat, 07 Nov 2015 14:02:06 GMT, just as I was proofreading this post.

Thanks Richard - I can have a play now :-)

Have fun. Just confirmed my association of ue with initial estimated runtime - fe divided by APR.

Because the operational code is written and maintained by BOINC:

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/master/html/user/gpu_list.php

Only the 'skinning' - style sheet carrying logo and navigation bars - is provided by SETI.

Keep arguing Semantics. We are watching you dance around an Obvious problem with the SETI Stats on a SETI webpage from a SETI Server.
Obviously if you don't return results you will Not receive a GF reading.
Likewise, the more results the higher that GF reading will be on that page.
It's all very interesting...

My feeling is that while there may be more compute power produced with the mac apps, If the elapsed times of the devices producing that compute power fall out side the time limits then the results won't be shown in the gpu_list (As HAL9000 already hinted):

91 $results = BoincResult::enum(
92 "app_version_id in ($av_ids) and create_time > $t and elapsed_time>100 limit 500"
93 );

I think I see the bug ...

112 $model = get_gpu_model($h->serialnum, $v);
113 if (!$model) continue;
114 add_model($model, $r, $wu, $total);
115 if (strstr($h->os_name, "Windows")) {
116 add_model($model, $r, $wu, $win);
117 }
118 if (strstr($h->os_name, "Linux")) {
119 add_model($model, $r, $wu, $linux);
120 }
121 if (strstr($h->os_name, "Darwin")) {
122 add_model($model, $r, $wu, $mac);
123 }

On the application page it says MAC, not Darwin. So it's probably not counting them.
