some WU's take over 100% to complete
Message boards : Number crunching : some WU's take over 100% to complete

I joined this project a week ago and this is the first project I have seen where (occasionally) the work unit does not actually complete at 100%. Sometimes it continues to run, other times it is "waiting to run". Eventually it does complete though it may take 15 - 20 minutes beyond the "100%".

I joined this project a week ago and this is the first project I have seen where (occasionally) the work unit does not actually complete at 100%. Sometimes it continues to run, other times it is "waiting to run". Eventually it does complete though it may take 15 - 20 minutes beyond the "100%". Can't say I have seen more then a minute or two, yet that is common in most projects. which OS are you having the problem with... Although I really think it could be that you are from Texas!

If it is flagged as "Waiting to run" then BOINC has swapped tasks, not the application.

As adrianxw says, If I understand correctly, then at the time the 100% is signaled, then boinc can deschedule the app and docking could sit for a long time before getting a time slice since it has not finished its housekeeping. IMHO, it seems to me that the 100% should be signaled after all housekeeping is done. I have not seen any other apps with this behavior. I do see a lot that get "stuck" uploading, mainly gpugrid with their humongus result file. The first time I saw this (100.000 progress) I suspended all other tasks and docking went from "ready to run" to "running" and it was still stuck at 100.000 progress for at least 10 minutes. It was not stuck "uploading". I never did see it complete, mainly because I let the system reboot after installing the latest and greatest vista patches. This seems to me to be an anomoly. Bringing up boincview, I see two full screens (about 100 or so and only 7 are docking) of "ready to report" and "100.000 progress". "Running" or "waiting to run" and "100.000 % progress" stick out like a sore thumb and are easy to spot. There are none right now. Again, this has happened only 3 times. I think all three occurred on 2 windows systems. |
