101) 留言板 : Number crunching : Are the servers down again? Not getting any new WU. (消息 1055347)

Post:
After finally getting my new system rebuilt tonight I am now no longer able to download any new CPU or GPU WU. I just waned to make sure it was not just me and some other mistake I had made.

Is there something wrong with the servers tonight in that they are not handling out new WU?


Thanks,

Adam




Yes there is/are a problem(s). No further information at this point in time though, other than you can upload/report completed work - if you can get any to process.

Then there's host 5293938, that was running the Fermi incompatible V12 Cuda app on Fermi GTX 480's in June, and still is almost six months later,

That owner at least has a posting history, and a profile. Having seen it, I'm not going to argue with him.


LMAO - "whatever you're doing its fine, no honest"!!!!!

COuld it be that he's got too much work onboard? Didn't someone else have this problem before on the boards. Could just clicking on "show active tasks" prevent this from happening



1200 tasks total was my maximum. The issue surfaced before I hit that number.

What I'm seeing for tasks reported by 5549084 at 11 Dec 2010 13:19:00 UTC and earlier is the expected "No heartbeat from core client for 30 sec - exiting". As usual, the cause is not apparent.

The change between 0.36 and 0.37 was primarily switching from Raistmer's V12 CUDA apps to Jason's x32f. The CPU applications are no different. A possible pattern to the intermittent failure to communicate heartbeats may be that it happens shortly after a new x32f task starts. The stderr info doesn't time-tag the heartbeat failures, so that's uncertain, but message logs could be searched to see if that guess is correct.

The BOINC API code used for Raistmer's V12 is likely earlier than that for Jason's x32f, and the affected host is running BOINC 6.10.56. I doubt that's significant, but if anyone else is running x32f successfully with BOINC 6.10.56 please say so.

That's all the available data suggests to me, but I'll ponder some more. 
                                                                Joe



I have a copy of the entire BOINC sub-directory just before I rolled back to 0.36 - if there is likely to be anything of use in trouble shooting the problem, I'll be happy to do what I can.

<edit>Had a rummage around the slots directory, and here is the stderr.txt file for one of the tasks that was running - on and off - before I switched back to 0.37:

I was getting tasks re-starting, at random times during processing.

How random were those times? The restarting can be triggered by adjusting the system clock in the "wrong" direction. Since I have my clock set to be synchronised via Internet every twelve hours, I see those restarts quite regularly (depending on the games I play:-).

Well, just checked and I'm set to 'time synch' once a week. No dice there!

Very random!
Sometimes, I would get 3-4 minutes processing done - other times 18 or so minutes. There really was no obvious pattern.


What are you using for an antivvirus? Has it changed lately?

AVG. The only thing that has changed are the virus definitions.



I have the same CPU and used the same installer without a problem.
I dont think its the installer though.

Useful - thanks. At least I know there is a possibility I can get it to run. I think I'll see about the time-synching and see if I get anywhere with that idea.

I seem to have run into a compatibility issue with the 0.37 installer/binaries.

During 'the great outage', I upgraded my CPU from a 955 to a 1090, and thought I might as well upgrade to the latest and greatest lunatics app.

When the project came back up, my client started asking for, and getting work. Everything looked good - all 9 cylinders firing fine (6CPU+3GPU). Then I looked at the messages my client was pumping out. I was getting tasks re-starting, at random times during processing. All processing tasks would re-start together (not from zero), at the same time - not just a couple. The re-starts were accompanied by the :

......exited with zero status but no 'finished' file

message.

After digging back through previous occurrences of this message via Google, I checked through all my 'green' settings both at BIOS level and OS level. Nothing was set to go to sleep - ever. I tried various combinations of ncpu values in the app_info.xml file, and adjusting the write to disk interval. I made sure anti-virus scans weren't touching the BOINC directory at all, or that any file indexing was going on there either. Nothing fixed it.

I then re-installed the Lunatics app using the 0.36 installer/binaries, and haven't had the problem re-occur in 6 hours - so far. My conclusion is that 0.37 doesn't want to work with my OS/CPU/BIOS combination. Is anybody else getting similar behaviour?

Area 51,

Dugh. And here I thought a mix of CUDA_10, high priority, "<count>.33</count>", good living and nothing else running removed a mysterious bottleneck that took me from 1 GPU WU in 8 minutes to 3 GPU WUs in 4 minutes. I even advanced my clock to force SETI back to "high priority". Sigh.

Well that reminds me of a comic slide: http://xkcd.com/530/.

Thanks for helping me get back to my life, already in progress.

ahhhh, but your are complaining about having nothing to complain about - which is a complaint in its own right; therefore, you do have something to complain about......! :-)

What makes a project run at "high priority"?
Whenever I enable any other project it takes over and runs at high priority and seti is stopped.



What are the deadlines like on the other projects? SAH is normally 6 weeks....

Look at the task deadlines.....any clues there?

Spooky stuff!!!

I did a detach/attach to clear ghosts before the downloads were re-enabled yesterday, so I assume that worked (difficult to tell since we have no visibility of the task listings for our clients ATM). I had almost run out of tasks to process in the queue clearing that's currently going on - and bam, 20 lost tasks got re-sent!

So, for those that have run out of work, its probably worth leaving your client connected and asking for work, just in case you have created some new ghosts.......

Got about 50 GPU tasks, and now I'm hitting http errors! Still, good to see some work is flowing, even though it is likely to be short lived. Not going to loose any sleep over it - I'll just get through what I get and then go back to other things 'till the situation returns to normal.

Occasionally things get broken with the merge script. When it tells there are no computers eligible for merging it has a link called "Show Details".

Your posting the contents of that would help to trouble shoot it.

Regards




There is no 'Show Details' option after attempting the merge - just the message that the computers are incompatible.

Good luck, but unfortunately merging doesn't always work. My machine has two identities courtesy of the recent server issues. I tried to merge them earlier today, and was told that the 'machines were incompatible' ???!!!! Bizarre really since both IDs relate to the same physical machine - which hasn't been updated/changed for a long time - and both IDs have the same name. Shame really, as I would really like to have kept the machine stats square. Still, worse things happen at sea.....
