HPF2 Longer runtimes and deadlines.

Greetings all,

The deadlines for HPF2 are going to be extended. We are doing this in preparation for longer running work units that should start with lo200. These batches will be estimated to take 50% longer. The deadlines will be extended about the same percentage.

Thank you for all your support.

Re: HPF2 Longer runtimes and deadlines.

Hi uplinger,

Confused. Received the first batches with the 18 day deadline. Whilst in past they had predicted run times of 5-6 hours, these (lo528) only have under 3 hours and though they should have been like 8-9 hours. Can you please check and manually adjust the predicted flop counts as now my client buffered way more than it should have.

thanks

Re: HPF2 Longer runtimes and deadlines.

We will fix this now.

Thanks for pointing out. With the longer workunits the HPF2 results the app that does the automatic adjustment decided that there was a insufficient sample set to determine the flops so it reverted back to the default value. We will change this to get the auto estimates back.

Re: HPF2 Longer runtimes and deadlines.

On my linux machine, I received a task with a To Completion time of 80 hours. It did not take 80 hours to complete as it is now off my system in less than a day. I have a 50 hours To Completion file that is set to start, so will be interesting to see how long it takes. And the deadline time is all over the map - a 3 hour file due on 5th March and a 50 hour on 7th March and a 30 hour on 16th March.

I'm confused.

Mark

Re: HPF2 Longer runtimes and deadlines.

And since I last emailed. the 50 hour file on my Linux system is gone! I have no idea why.

And I looked at my Windoz system which, an hour ago had two 20 hours files. They are gone. And two 69 hour files have appeared.

Very odd. Very very odd.

You can see on the My Grid > Result Status page what the Work Unit Status is and click on that to see a log for details.

Re: HPF2 Longer runtimes and deadlines.

Yes, but the maths do not work out - eg one of the files being crunched at the moment shows:

CPU time 2:48:10
Progress: 13.095%
To completion: 55:51:06

And even more oddly, the 'to completion' time is increasing along with the CPU time.

It's something out of Alice In Wonderland. ;0)

Re: HPF2 Longer runtimes and deadlines.

Groan. ;) (Thanks for the laugh, though. I needed one.)

Anyway, I believe I have figured out the solution. The high hour numbers represent, as a guess, groups of related files.

Thanks,

Mark
