Hello
Well maybe somebody else is experiencing this. When the Computer has been running for a long time ( a coulpe of days or so) I will at some point notice that 100% of my CPU is being used and its being used by processes that start with wcg, and no other processes so its definetly a wcg problem I would think. And when I then look intot he BOINC Manager it shows me all tasks are suspended. So then I always quit BOINC and magicallyy the processes taking up my CPU cycles are gone. I then restart the BOINC client and everythign is fine until a long time later. I will try to investigate this further, but for now I am just wondering does anybody else have a similar problem? Taks running even thow Boinc says they are not? Well for info I am running on an Intel iMac Core2Duo, Mac OS X 10.4.10 with Boinc 5.10.7 in an admin account. Thanks for any answer :-) |

Had this happen on my mini and my macpro. I would have boinc suspend everything but in activity monitor, one stuck project would run. I dropped down one version of boinc and never had the problem again. I just upgraded from 5.4 to 5.8 and hope I don't go through this again or will drop back to 5.4 as that one it stable.

I have only seen it suspend everything for a minute or two while running benchmarks. Are there any messages at this time?

Well I think there are no messages, and it seems like the Boinc Manager does not even know about these processes.
But I am not 100% sure, I will take a look at that when it happens again next. |

Well it has now happened again, I checked and there are no messages, the last messages were
10:54:50 resuming Computation 10:54:56 Suspending computation user is active //only 6 seconds later maybe something to do with that? And then some Server - Client messages from the LHCathome project. What I find mostly annoying and strange is that there was a wcg_faah_autodoc process running, but I don't know where that process lies and if its actually managed by the Boinc Manager, because I compared the progress numbers in the Boinc Manager (which weren't of course changing because the Manager thought the processes are suspended) with the numbers before and after I restarted the manager, and the process numbers haven't change at all. So either this wcg_faah_autodoc process which is running even though the Manager suspended all its tasks is a) a process not registered by the Boinc manager in the Tasks Tab or b) one of the tasks registered in teh Tasks Tab but the Boinc Manager does not realised that work has been done , maybe the process writes its data in some strange place in my library but that really worrying since my harddrive will then be full at some pint (well at least I will find where its writing its data) Or this process is doing some random computing not writign down its results, which is even moore annoying considering that it wastes my CPU cycles. Anyway I hope a fix will come for this someday. |
