The more I read through some of the code, the more I realize the code is not keeping up with current hardware and simply punts when it can't handle the hardware.

For example in the benchmark.cpp module, if you complete the benchmark in less than 2 seconds .... punt .... benchmark is invalidated and you get a default benchmark that is no way representative of your processing capabilities. The problem with this is the benchmark is used to directly calculate things like p_fpops for example.

// If a benchmark is nonzero, keep it. Otherwise use default value
//
void CLIENT_STATE::cpu_benchmarks_set_defaults() {
if (!host_info.p_fpops) host_info.p_fpops = DEFAULT_FPOPS;
if (!host_info.p_iops) host_info.p_iops = DEFAULT_IOPS;
if (!host_info.p_membw) host_info.p_membw = DEFAULT_MEMBW;
if (!host_info.m_cache) host_info.m_cache = DEFAULT_CACHE;

and this one particularly is alarming.

// Windows: do integer benchmark only on CPU zero.
// There's a mysterious bug/problem that gives wildly
// differing benchmarks on multi-CPU and multi-core machines,
// if you use all the CPUs at once.
//

What with all the latest processors being multi-cpu and multi-core and running north of 5 Ghz for Intel cpu's for example, how can we trust that BOINC is utilizing our hardware correctly.

how can we trust that BOINC is utilizing our hardware correctly.

If the tasks are validating then Boinc is using the hardware correctly. Boinc may not and is probably not using the hardware efficiently.

I just lost all of what I was going to post.

In short, Dec 28 2016 there was the weekly outage, and that's when all the issues began.


ReiAyanami Posted: 29 Dec 2016, 21:57:42 UTC
No tasks available?

Bruce Posted: 30 Dec 2016, 3:34:11 UTC
Is anybody getting any work? I have not received any downloads since about 1:30pm Eastern Standard Time. Nothing is stuck or suspended, but I am just about of work units. Do we need to make any changes at our end because of the changes in the encryption? Just wondering if something wrong at my end.

Brent Norman Posted: 30 Dec 2016, 4:11:44 UTC
I seen a problem where I had to tick off SETI@home v8 "YES" to get work on my Ubuntu box, even though it had Accept Other Work and was working fine before.

Bruce Posted: 30 Dec 2016, 5:53:19 UTC
Thanks Brent. Saying yes to SETI@Home v8 fixed the problem and started the work flowing. I wonder if they might have broken the Accept Other Work switch during the outage?
Anyway it works now.

ReiAyanami Posted: 30 Dec 2016
Thank you, Brent.
It fixed my problem.

etc, etc, etc.

Eric has responded, and he is looking at things.
I can get some sleep now.

kittyman Posted: 31 Dec 2016, 22:33:48 UTC
For what it's worth, the little problem with the v8 preference switch has not been addressed yet. Just turned it off for about 15 minutes, and sure enough, the rigs on that preference stopped getting new work.
Turned it back on, and they started to fill right back up on the next round of work requests.

kittyman Posted: 4 Jan 2017, 17:37:52 UTC
Well, it appears that there has been no fix for the v8 checkbox bug yet.
Tested it again this morning. Unclicked v8, dropped 40 some tasks from cache. Reclicked it and in a couple of rounds of work requests cache bumped right back up.
Have sent Eric and Jeff a reminder message about the situation.

kittyman Posted: 5 Jan 2017, 8:07:05 UTC
Whist I was away at work, Eric replied that he is still trying to figure out the v8 checkbox bug.
Said it looks like it should be working, but obviously is not.


And this is where I found out about the issue of trying to get MB work, without having AP installed.
Grant (SSSF) Posted: 14 Jan 2017, 22:28:03 UTC
Server Status page shows everything's good, but the cache on my main cruncher is running down again. Most requests for work result in "Project has no tasks available" messages and those that do get work don't get enough to make up the developing deficit.


kittyman Posted: 16 Jan 2017, 18:49:36 UTC
Still no problems here with cache. Pendings are up a bit, but within usual levels.
In progress (2600) · Validation pending (5224) · Validation inconclusive (116) · Valid (3870) · Invalid (0) · Error (0)

Although I am sure he is aware of and working on the scheduler bug, I sent Eric another reminder message on it.
I suggested that it might help if he would change the checkbox for 'accept work from other applications' from a simple 'Yes' to 'Hell, Yes'.........................LOL.

Meow.

EDIT:
And Eric replied already.
He has not figured the problem out just yet, and hopes he can get back to working on it Thursday or so.
SOOOOOOOOOOO.....
Those of you having problems are going to have to do your best with workarounds until 'at least' the end of the week.

Couple more weeks, and we will have our 1st anniversary of the strat of this issue.

To continue with some of my code reading discoveries. There is code that no gpu app can process faster than 10 times the time it takes a cpu app or it gets thrown out.

The special app has thrown a monkey wrench completely into the works for that criteria. Again, showing the project is not keeping up with the changes in both hardware and software.

...the server code will be very close to the master code at https://github.com/BOINC/boinc. The client and manager code is in subdirectories 'client' and 'clientgui', respectively: the bit of the server code we're interested in here is in subdirectory 'sched'.

That was an easy solution. There is no directory https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/client/sched, not that I can find anyway. Just by chance I did open home/tbar/Downloads/boinc-master/client/scheduler_op.cpp and search for Project has no tasks available which has to be somewhere in the Server code since it is printed on the replies. There isn't a Project has no tasks available anywhere in the code, so, not the right code.

Just by another chance I decided to change my preferences to what Grant suggested, AP Yes, MB No, If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other application Yes
I suddenly stopped receiving MB tasks even though If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other application? is YES
Perhaps it's just a matter of the Server losing track of just what Tasks it does have available and assuming it doesn't have MB work for a particular Host. By forcing it to look at the available tasks again, it realizes it does have MB tasks, until it again loses track of which tasks it has available and needs to be reminded. Anyway, I should be receiving MB tasks with my current settings, but, I'm Not. I am receiving APs though;
**Omitted**

Try these files:
sched/sched_send.cpp
client/cpu_sched.cpp
client/client_state.cpp
client/work_fetch.cpp
sched/handle_request.cpp

These have mention of "no task available", I have skimmed the code, so I probably have listed a few too many files. But those are the main ones I can see

The Assimilation, Deletion & Validation backlogs have all finally cleared.
However the Replica continues to fall further & further behind.

And the db results and work unit purging have fallen from their highs of yesterday but they have plateaued out at 4M and are still doubly high from historical levels.

You won't find server messages in a client folder. Here you go:

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/master/sched/handle_request.cpp#L1437

Considering my experience with the Project Preferences I'd say they are screwed up to the point the Server doesn't know which tasks it should be sending and even if it has tasks to send.

Here's the results from the third machine. The "No tasks are available for AstroPulse v7" is the same reply I receive if I select AP = YES, MB = NO and "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?" YES
It's pretty obvious the Server thinks it doesn't have any of the tasks it is trying to send, try to determine why the Server thinks, g_wreq->no_jobs_available
Since the Preferences had been known about for a Year, I'd start there.

The Preferences here were set to AP = YES, MB = YES If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? = NO

I just changed the Preferences to AP = YES, MB = YES, and If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? = YES, and the Server finally Figured out What tasks to send...for a little while.

Cache size falling, event log getting "no tasks are available"

"I have a bad feeling about this"

Cache size falling, event log getting "no tasks are available"

"I have a bad feeling about this"

. . It's funny, after the 1st big crash 2 weeks ago my caches would fill AOK. For the rest of that week I didn't have to play "kick the server". But after the second unscheduled outage it's back to business as usual and I have to kick the servers a couple of times a day to keep them refilling.

. . Life goes on. But it is problem that would be better cured.

Seems this machine is still getting starved. So, I'm going to try the same setting that the Mac has been using since it's about the only one that hasn't had any real trouble getting Work. It still gets the Project has no tasks available ever so often, but has been better than the other machines. Pretty simple settings;
AP = NO, MB = YES, If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? = NO

So far so good,

Since switching over to just MB the cache is staying near full, but, I'm seeing a new type a message. Now, it doesn't even give a reason, it just says, No Task Sent. I suppose it can't even come up with an excuse anymore.

Maybe it's gone on strike!

No problems at all to report here.

Cheers.

Working fine here also..

It's back to normal here, for now. I think it's perfectly clear from the Logs that at times the Server chooses to simply Ignore some Work requests. I don't see how anyone can call it a "conspiracy theory" when the logs show it to be fact. We'll see how it continues, so far the other two machines haven't had any trouble asking for MB & AP.

BTW, I doubt someone who just goes through a dozen or so tasks a day would notice a problem if the server stopped sending tasks for an hour or so. Certainly not the way a host returning 3 or 4 tasks every 5 minutes would anyway.

Well, the web site is up and down, mostly down at the moment. And the forums are re-defining slow & unresponsive.
And the Scheduler hasn't responded for about 20min now.

EDIT- managed to pick up some work after posting this, and the following request also managed to get work- but it took over 30 seconds. Usually it's 3-4 seconds.

And a couple of the Server Status values aren't updating- WU waiting purge, AP & MB.
Replica continues to fall further behind.

And next request it's back to normal- able to report work, but it won't give me any.
Triple update time.

...I'm going to try the same setting that the Mac has been using since it's about the only one that hasn't had any real trouble getting Work. It still gets the Project has no tasks available ever so often, but has been better than the other machines...

I decided to see what was happening to the Mac Requests at the same time the Linux Requests were being Ignored. It seems the Server was treating the Mac requests normally and replacing the Reported tasks with replacements. Both machines are connected to the same Ethernet switch, the Mac is using 24 hour time.

Why would it Ignore one Host and just miss a single beat on the other Host sitting next to it?
