Re: CEP2 beta for windows - Version 6.25

I'd observed an interesting behavior:
  • On a P4HT (1GB RAM), running WinXP Pro SP3
    • 2 CEP2 Beta at the same time are fully OK

  • On a Q6600 (4GB RAM), running WinXP Pro SP3
    • 3 CEP2 Betas are OK
    • But the system refuses to start a 4th CEP2 Betas at the same time, although only 1.55 GB is used (i.e. around 2 GB RAM is still free).
    • This behavior is reproducible

Does exist a "protection mechanism" ?
Cheers,
Yves

Re: CEP2 beta for windows - Version 6.25

Yes, though you don't mention the BOINC version, once the client knows what the science app usage profile is, it will not try to start more than fit in what

1) you've permitted BOINC to use
2) what's really available.

Latter meaning that if you've specified 3GB RAM and 10 GB disk usage and X % Swap, but there only being 1GB Disk really free, only X% of that is considered. Similar there's the idle and use % on RAM.

How to force this to try suspending all Ready to Start tasks except that BETA job, then suspending a running BETA task (LAIM ON else it unloads) which should launch the RtS BETA. Then suspend whatever science that 4th task is running concurrent. Some kind of notice should appear in the message log, but if all flags are disabled, there might not be. If still nothing happens, try switching LAIM OFF... you can loose a few hours work with that as the checkpoints CAN be far apart.

BUT, though it might puzzle, accept it. These BETA jobs have a 5 day deadline if original and if in deadline threat, the client switches into EDF mode and reorgs.

Note that on past clients the events could be that it will try a whole series of the RtS jobs to see if there's one that fits within the limits so the idle core is used, but that was only resulting in a visious circle of ever more jobs sitting in memory where they would stay until first checkpoint.

Broadly, how it works, not necessarily to the dotted 'i' exact.

Re: CEP2 beta for windows - Version 6.25

Techs,

Any news on the beta? Are we good for production or we'll have a 2nd round of beta?

Re: CEP2 beta for windows - Version 6.25

I still have 2 repair WU crunching on 2 different hosts. It will be days before all repair jobs are returned by other members. I have not had any problems with this BETA, so I hope that this BETA run will be considered successful.

I saw each of these messages in multiple work units.

Re: CEP2 beta for windows - Version 6.25

How about these as an odd pair of stats:?

Re: CEP2 beta for windows - Version 6.25

JSYKES, if you look, you will see that the 2nd person finished the WU at 12 hrs, well not really finished but stopped. For this project the WU have a threshold of 12 hrs to do work, after 12 hrs it gets upload and verified. The WU that did more work is the on harvard cares about.

Now since the 2nd person didn't really finished the WU, instead he did say 5 out of 15 jobs, while the 1st person finished the entire WU, you won't see the two getting the same amount of credits. However, the fact that the 1st person got 50% more credits then he asked for is kinda strange.

Re: CEP2 beta for windows - Version 6.25

Pretty good.

Yesterday's stats proofed better than the 7850 I'd calculated to validate...
  	Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) - Day 	6:248:11:19:04
Points Generated - Day 7,223,497
Results Returned - Day 8,244
Hours per Job: 7:06


Meaning there are some 1800 still out there plus any repairs.


You will get my 4 last Beta on monday before the dead line as there are running on one of my PC at work but without Internet connexion. blushing
I'll take them back home to send result on monday evening. wink
