Message boards : Number crunching : How long are the Work Units going to be?

( Message 1482 )
Posted 3917 days ago by Nicolas

Thanks for explanation in detail:)
The Linux in fact runs on virtual machine VMWare and crunches a work unit, and also windows, its host OS, crunches another work unit at the same time. Hence two cores on 1 CPU is actively used. Also I'd love to test Windows besides Linux:)


Oh, that makes a lot of difference. I've never run VMWare, but I think most virtual environments are limited to 1 CPU for the client OS, no matter how many the host computer has.

VMware can work with up to two CPUs, provided that the physical hardware has two or more CPUs (dual core, two CPUs, or even single P4 with Hyperthreading).

Yes, but it needs to purchase VMWare ESX Server to run smp kernel. If one use VMWare player, the number of available CPU is limited to 1.

Oh well... I use a not-exactly-purchased Vmware Workstation.. shh! >:)

Message boards : Number crunching : Ghost WU ... ???

I show this WU http://docking.utep.edu/result.php?resultid=48077 to be on 1 of my Computers but it's not there. Just to let you know so you can re-issue it ...

Reissuing workunits by hand is not possible. Server will do it automatically when that workunit reaches deadline.

Maybe I should change the name to this thread and you could move it in the "cafe" section?

It is possible for a moderator to move individual posts from a thread to another. It might be useful here :)

Message boards : Number crunching : zero credits for valid result??

( Message 1343 )
Posted 3926 days ago by Nicolas
"SUCCESS - Charmm exited with code 0." looks valid to me regardless what the validator says. there are other results with the exact same message that were marked as valid.

That message says nothing, you have to compare the actual output file, not just the messages.

It could also be a validator problem.

not sure why no credit was granted on these:

http://docking.utep.edu/result.php?resultid=26123
http://docking.utep.edu/result.php?resultid=43931
http://docking.utep.edu/result.php?resultid=40565
http://docking.utep.edu/result.php?resultid=26122
http://docking.utep.edu/result.php?resultid=25437
http://docking.utep.edu/result.php?resultid=25434
http://docking.utep.edu/result.php?resultid=25432

Validator said they were invalid, either by checking or by comparing with other results.

[edit]I just noticed that this workunit for some reason got an initial replication of 7. The system should initially create 3 replicas and distribute these to hosts. Because the max. nr of successful results is set to 5 and 6 results came back valid, boinc decided to grant no credits at all. I will see if I can correct this somehow.

Haha, I had something similar too :) Increased initial replication to 10 to test something, max total results was 9! It was marked as invalid as soon as one result was back.

Reporting a invalid / error result by even just linking will help developers to work on that:)

No, it was my fault, I set the replication higher than the limit, that would obviously cause it to reach the limit even before it starts :\

In that case you'll definitely have to make some changes to the boinc php code. We don't care too much about the category to be honest: a forum is a forum even if you call it a helpdesk :-)

Andre

Okay, make "helpdesk" be "forum with extra stuff" :)

Apache on Linux wants an .ico favicon; it won't show it otherwise!

Andre

ICO format is Windows only! Won't work on other OS as far as I know


I said format, not extension. And the favicon is requested by the browser, it's independent of webserver.
