I'm getting the subject message about every 5 minutes recently, in a series like this:
2008-02-21 09:16:57 [---] Running CPU benchmarks 2008-02-21 09:16:57 [---] Suspending computation - running CPU benchmarks 2008-02-21 09:21:58 [---] [error] CPU benchmarks timed out, using default values 2008-02-21 09:21:59 [---] Resuming computation 2008-02-21 09:21:59 [---] Running CPU benchmarks 2008-02-21 09:21:59 [---] Suspending computation - running CPU benchmarks 2008-02-21 09:26:59 [---] [error] CPU benchmarks timed out, using default values This doesn't sound like productive work to me. Any way to address this? |

Please will you give us the specs for your computer?

Please will you give us the specs for your computer? Not sure what you are looking for, but here's some info: - Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5) - Pentium 4, 3.6 GHz Hyperthreading enabled - 2.5 GB mem - 13G free space disk - 2G swap about 25% used - BOINC 5.10.21 Preferences: Use at most 10G disk Leave at least 0.1G free Use at most 50% total disk Write to disk at most every 60 secs Use at most 75% of swap Use at most 50% of memory when in use Use at most 90% of memory when idle Use at most 80% of CPU time |

Please will you use top to check on the CPU profile while BOINC is trying to benchmark?
Thank you. |

Had this and it was, guess what, the software firewall interfering. Check BOINC permissions. That would imply that something had changed, no? Nothing has changed, that I know of, but what would I look for? everything related to port 443 seems open outgoing and open for "related connections" incoming |

I've only had it once and did not record, but it was something with memory access and on Vista, so with Linux that's likely not. You mentioned Hyperthreading. Is the BOINC set to only use 1 core for crunching?

Please will you use top to check on the CPU profile while BOINC is trying to benchmark? I did have a rogue java process consuming over 100% of CPU time. When I killed it, and waited a bit, the state of the WCG tasks has now changed from "Suspended - Running CPU benchmarks" to "Running, high priority". I'm guessing I'm back in business. :-) |
