Restarting task flu10101b0090_100121_0 using flu1 version 604 Task flu10101b0090_100121_0 exited with zero status but no 'finished' file If this happens repeatedly you may need to reset the project. flu10101b0090_100121_0 status running: but zero CPU time, and above mssg every 2 minutes. Eventually i had to abort it manually after giving it 2 hours to proper start or exit with a error. all the time my second core was at 0% cpu. |

And now another one:

My lips are sealed, but if you schedule the BOINC networking with the local prefs to say, 15-30 minutes a day and set the cache/ additional buffer to about 1.5 days, your client will upload / download tasks & results most probably without concurrently finishing results and starting new jobs. My quad has issue to network and start jobs simultaneous. All jobs are affected.
----------------------------------------You could of course start off by resetting the WCG project in the BOINC client as per the warning message and see if the warnings disappear. I'm curious to hear if that works. Also please check your Result Logs if there are heartbeat warning lines. All that said, make sure in your AV software to exclude the BOINC data_dir from scanning. The path can be found in the BOINC start up message log. Let us know.

Thanks for the reply Sekerob.
Plan of attack: 1 - I left my thinkpad as it is to see if it happens again. No changes made at all. 2 - I removed FLU from all 99 production machines. 3 - I use 1 production machine to crunsh FLU, and will closly monitor this IBM\Lenovo C2D 6300 to see if it occurs here too in the next 2 weeks. If it happens again i'll start off with resetting the the project, and check the results log. So far i'm the only one that posted this, so i hope it's just my setup causing this. I'll post any updates here |

It started on my quad with Flu which includes a beginning and end benchmark routine (think all the AutoDock based science projects have). Seemingly BOINC transmission impacts this benchmarking detrimentally.
----------------------------------------As said, with my mix WCG projects, it affects all projects, to include the new HCMD2, so this is why I set it up as described above. On larger farms it might be easier to manage too this way, as you know which time segment to monitor... but 99 devices all cramming their UL/DL into a small time segment 15-30 minutes... is bound to have bottlenecks unless you got oodles of bandwidth. Anyway, I've notified the techs of the observations. Me alone might be something host specific. 99 devices affected is pointing at something in the software. thanks for helping testing.

With IBM paying the bandwith here i can assure you it's not that problem :) Even with 700+ computers connected and occupied by employees speed is still crazy :)
However i limited the network usage for all clients on the folowing: - 50kb\s down - 15 kb\s up This to prevent any bottlenecks, and impact on performance. To keep natural randomisation i'm not using any scheduling, and connect every 0.1 day with a 1day buffer. |

Willem, it's an identified issue occurring when a FLU task is starting, and seemingly only FLU combined with a network component in BOINC that is not robust, causing enough delay on the science progress for them to incur a > 30 second comms interruption, thus a heartbeat issue. I can replicate and prevent (take the client off-line and only do scheduled networking as what I described previously).
----------------------------------------But, a thought has occurred, which I'll touch base on with the techs. ttyl

Willem,
----------------------------------------Are these machines using WAN to access your local network? I have already seen a (not very powerful) PC stalled when using an USB WiFi adapter to connect to an ADSL2 box. In this particular case we finally had to use a LAN connection to be able to use this PC. Just wondering... Jean. |

(take the client off-line and only do scheduled networking as what I described previously). Yeah it is possible since the thinkpad's are laptops that move around a lot from network to network in WLAN. So i'm currently testing different Network settings as you described. I saw that "connect every XX day" was set to 0, causing excatly this issue. Scheduling is now in place and lets see how that works out :) THZ |
