widdershins,
----------------------------------------Yes, since DDDT2 beta testing of the very long A-type WUs beta tests are limited to one job per thread at any given time to avoid "endless" beta test sessions and to increase the chances that the largest variety of beta testing machines get some. As long as you have as many beta jobs as running threads in a given machine the servers will not send more. Even if some are Ready to Report. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by JmBoullier at May 29, 2010 10:22:30 AM] |

The timekeeping has it's learning curve. When production is running the estimated flops will get adjusted on a daily basis allowing a more accurate projection, a solito. Actually they are rather well estimated when looking at jobs waiting to start. It's just that the percentage computation seems to be based on the maximum 8-hour duration whether the task will exceed the limit or not. That should be rather easy to correct before going to production.Can't say that is an estimate if the progress is simply computed as a fraction of 8 hours. If the same job on yours is showing near 8 hours and mine is too, the last one shows 8:01:59 in ready to start, there might be another field to feed that time into the client TTC. Kind of like: Hello, I'm client X, with Y benchmark and the servers responding: Hello client, here's 8x3600 seconds worth of flops, the result with a header fitted to the benchmark. Wonder if knreed made the server that smart already... would be great. Will be fun to watch when mixed with HCMD2 when a series of great grandchildren hop by.

If the same job on yours is showing near 8 hours and mine is too, the last one shows 8:01:59 in ready to start, there might be another field to feed that time into the client TTC. Sorry, since I started these beta WUs their estimated time before starting has always been in the range of what they have actually needed, say the final time has been between 60 % and 140 % of what was "announced". Not that precise, but much better than what we use to see during beta tests, and the DCF is currently at 0.78.I don't know why yours are announced at around 8 hours? I have one waiting to start which is estimated at 3:14:15, probably a bit below what will be really needed, but not that much. The 4 last ones have used from 3.81 to 4.42 hours. I am using the standard version 6.10.17 delivered with Ubuntu 10.04 if that matters. |

Houston I have a more serious problem than duration estimates, indeed: my last job has exploded after normal completion with a file too big condition.

One has errored out, it appears it wasn't an error with the computation but rather with the transmission of the data back to WCG.

So far, I've had 4 with error -131 and 22+ hours down the tubes. Are these one of the types of errors for which credit is granted?

It's a genuine application [parm] fault i.e. Don't Panic Mr Mainwaring. It's not down the tube either since now at larger test scale it's learned how big things can get and however big the result files may get, not noticing anything, largest mem used is 89MB over 259MB for RAM and VM according the Top view.
----------------------------------------So far the longest run I had on the quad has been 5:46 hours at 2.4 ghz. Only one of 5 had a wingman agreeing and 4 more crunching now.

CP, are you sure you want to do that? Not sure if the servers will accept over-sized result files.
----------------------------------------Just now my quad is sweating on a 49,382k upload, the critical level to watch for in the transfer screen presently being 51,300k. Long as that is going, not going faster than 50k, no replacement B type will be fetched /รต\
