Re: WU at 111,111% and still running

Why, Philip-in-hongkong, when you can read above that these jobs can run up to 12 hours? The percent progress you can happily ignore since we know it can go bonkers on HCMD2 (seen as high a 900%) and finish properly showing 100% in the last seconds.

What client version is this and was the job interrupted, paused, pre-empted in between?

Re: WU at 111,111% and still running

My BOINC client is 6.10.18. I run multiple projects and the PC does not run 24/7. Hence the job has been paused and restarted. In view of your advice, I have resumed it and see that it will finish properly.

Cheers,
Philip

Re: WU at 111,111% and still running

OK, plz let us know the outcome, so we can build some confidence.

On an aside, since client version 6.10.xx even the late alpha client 6.10.48 can loose count on elapsed time and thus report wrong percentage on resume, but so far found that the CPU time is unwavering correct. That bit is controlled by the science application at WCG.

Re: WU at 111,111% and still running

philip,

That's not an indication of an error. That is 12:01 hours, the hard coded end if not all positions in a task were completed. What does the status field say that you clicked on to get this log report? Pending Validation, Inconclusive, Invalid, Error?

Re: WU at 111,111% and still running

Saw this happen yesterday - ran over 100% and worked its way beyond 250%. It finished but resulted in Error. :( I did check the messages but didn't see anything that indicated that something was wrong with the work unit. I am using client 6.2.28.

Re: WU at 111,111% and still running

4 spots you may check whenever a result turns error:

1. The BOINC Manager active message log.
2. When older, the stdoutdae.txt and when even older the stdoutdae.old file from the time the result was reported (taking into account that the website is UTC time!)
3. The stderrdae.txt file (might have additional clues v.v. the client)
4. The error link on the Result Status page, providing the actual task log.

Re: WU at 111,111% and still running

Sek,

My computer got rebooted yesterday afternoon so the message log details have been lost. I was unable to find the stdoutdae.txt or stderrdae.txt when using the search tool.

And the error link shows (nothing useful as far as I can tell)

Result Log

Re: WU at 111,111% and still running

The BOINC data dir (printed in message log at start of client), can be hidden when looking in the File Explorer or searching, but the path can still be typed to get there. Twice a finish in the log likely indicates the result file got corrupted and no good resume was possible, so stdxxxdae.txt might tell more what was on.
