I am running a 3.2 gig hyperthreaded PC expressed machine with 2 gig ram. currently folding this latest Proteome, the machine has spent a little over 19 hrs and only complete 13.4% running at 60% using UD agent, that seems a wee bit slow. Normally between 5 to 11 hours has been the norm, I am new to this Grid.org, coming over from the UD cancer grid. Back in my pentium 200 days, I might see this then, so what gives, am I missing somthing or are numbers like this to be expected
---------------------------------------- I have been averaging about 7.8 or so hours / unit with this machine overall.THanks Roger [Edit 3 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 1, 2007 11:46:46 AM] |

Roger, sometimes a HPF2 gets stuck in a loop for no clear reason. Snooze the agent and exit and restart. It most likely will continue speedily. Been reported, but remains elusive.
----------------------------------------BUT, before doing that, can you check the wcg_xxxxxxx.exe process in Taskmanager (Ctrl-Shift_Esc) and see if it gets a high CPU percentage. You dont have BOINC or Grid Republic or the like started i hop as those 2 wont allow HPF2 almost nothing in CPU time when run on UD agent?
WCG

I had loaded a few days earlier. I wasn't impressed with it (being different) so I closed the lower right icon thinking I had turned it off Anyway checking my statistics showed my computer was indeed still crunching (boincing) So I disabled UD on this machine  Thanks for waking me up  ROger |

Hi Roger,
I am a transfer from the old world of UD as well.. the HPF - P2 project is like it was on UD when it ran it's phase of the project some work unit are quick and some take a long time.. I agree with you that is kind of long for a work unit at this point I would monitor it.. if it does not go a point higher in lets say a few hours you may have a process on your computer that may be stopping it from working. or the WU somehow is bad and may need to be dropped for a new one. 3.2 Ghz is a good CPU for the task. only going to use 1/2 of it anyway. also did you adjust the CPU throttle on the program.. UD ran 100% with WCG it is 60% use by default there is a enviroment string you can set that will make the program 100% use if you have not done so already. Rick |
