Re: BETA Clean Energy Project phase 2 version 6.33

I'm seeing that weird low utilization issue again.
BETA_ E200515_ 107_ A.26.C19H12N6S.95.3.set1d06_ 0-- is showing 22-23% CPU utilization. The other 11 are at 95%+.

BoincTasks shows:
Elapsed time=4:35:50
CPU=1:02:53

Windows 7 x64
i7-980x
Boinc 6.10.58

Re: BETA Clean Energy Project phase 2 version 6.33

The Windows results so far: After 10 hours 1 minute Elapsed have 9:45 as CPU time and reportedly at 81% i.e. this task is heading for the 12:00 hours CPU time cut-off.

16 minutes gap Elapsed:CPU is excellent for this duo compared to the previous test.

Re: BETA Clean Energy Project phase 2 version 6.33

Here the four I received:

BETA_ E200515_ 995_ A.25.C21H14N2S2.172.3.set1d06_ 0-- Europa In Progress 22/10/10 21:04:53 27/10/10 21:04:53 0.00 0.0 / 0.0
BETA_ E200515_ 833_ A.24.C19H16N2SSi2.56.0.set1d06_ 1-- Phobos In Progress 22/10/10 19:20:36 27/10/10 19:20:36 0.00 0.0 / 0.0
BETA_ E200515_ 680_ A.24.C19H16N2SSi2.71.4.set1d06_ 0-- Pandora In Progress 22/10/10 19:11:20 27/10/10 19:11:20 0.00 0.0 / 0.0
BETA_ E200515_ 325_ A.24.C20H16OSSi2.30.1.set1d06_ 1-- Ganymede In Progress 22/10/10 18:56:50 27/10/10 18:56:50 0.00 0.0 / 0.0

There is one per host. Of the 18 hosts active at the moment 4 received. But with a 3 day cache (and no possibility to speed them up as I am on travel far from my little private farm) I suppose they will be all late and probably server aborted. sad

That's not good as before we had a small hope it was a Linux OS/kernel version unknown issue. Something as was observed during the very first CEP2 jobs is happening. CPU use is normal/max, but the time is not being passed right about when the next job segment starts:

[19:53:42] Starting job 2,CPU time has been restored to 438.230000.
...
[21:53:09] End of Job
[21:53:11] Finished Job #2
[21:53:11] Starting job 3,CPU time has been restored to 899.140000.

3 hours and only 463 seconds logged, though the CPU shows full load. Nothing detected as user impacting i.e. no endless disk IO making the system appear sluggish.

16 minutes gap Elapsed:CPU is excellent for this duo compared to the previous test.

Turns out the task finished before the 12th hour

BETA_ E200515_ 466_ A.24.C19H16N2SSi2.31.4.set1d06_ 1-- 95711 Pending Validation 22-10-10 19:03:52 23-10-10 07:01:50 11.21 114.4 / 0.0

Notably in this full log is the absence of all the detail bits ...

[16:46:38] Qink name = fldman
[16:46:38] Qink name = gesman
[16:46:38] Qink name = scfman
[16:51:47] Qink name = anlman

to leave the below with the most important part being that wallclock/elapsed was 11.49 hours and CPU time 11.21 and use of system for a good section during the run... 17 minutes only gap, so for my laptop duo centrino with W7 that's a thumbs up. :D

I noticed that too on windows: no "Qink name"

Here's my results:

1) was using the computer for lots of stuff not counted biggrin
2) 57 mins gap - linux + 7 CEP2 + 2 fah gpu
3) 13 mins gap - linux + 7 CEP2
4) 25 mins gap - windows + 3 C4CW + 1 fah gpu
5) 16 mins gap - linux + 3 CEP2 + 2 fah gpu
6) 16 mins gap - linux + 3 CEP2
7) 12 mins gap - windows + 3 C4CW

Re: BETA Clean Energy Project phase 2 version 6.33

I got the second resend of BETA_E200515_029_A.25.C21H14N2S2.14.1.set1d06

BETA_ E200515_ 029_ A.25.C21H14N2S2.14.1.set1d06_ 3-- - In Progress 23/10/10 07:29:51 25/10/10 07:29:51 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 <-- mine

The initially quorum of two both failed with the same error:

<message>
CreateProcess() failed - The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. (0x36b1)
</message>

The resend started fine on Win7 64bit and meanwhile finished Job #0 and #1.
Busy with Job #2: one of the long lags.

Re: BETA Clean Energy Project phase 2 version 6.33

I'm seeing that weird low utilization issue again.

That's not good as before we had a small hope it was a Linux OS/kernel version unknown issue. Something as was observed during the very first CEP2 jobs is happening. CPU use is normal/max, but the time is not being passed right about when the next job segment starts

The same thing happened just recently with one of my "production" jobs on linux:

E200433_ 634_ A.24.C20H12O3S.10.3.set1d06_ 1-- 619 Valid 09.10.10 17:32:56 11.10.10 17:37:09 6.09 73.9 / 54.4 <--- mine
E200433_ 634_ A.24.C20H12O3S.10.3.set1d06_ 0-- 619 Valid 09.10.10 17:21:41 10.10.10 19:35:14 2.38 35.0 / 54.4

Usually I get a lot more credits than the machine asks for, this time they were cut down extremely.

Looking at the wingman's log, I discovered the very same thing as you described:

[06:58:19] Starting job 0,CPU time has been restored to 0.000000.

[07:04:08] Starting job 2,CPU time has been restored to 318.091879.
[08:53:05] Finished Job #2
[08:53:05] Starting job 3,CPU time has been restored to 571.159694.

[10:12:19] Starting job 13,CPU time has been restored to 2993.083050.
[11:29:06] Finished Job #13
[11:29:06] Starting job 14,CPU time has been restored to 3249.551078.

[14:48:32] Finished Job #15

No signs of interruption during the run. Run time obviously was similar to mine, but the wingman only got 2.38 hours accounted.

Will this issue be solved along with the Windows version?

Regards,
Martin

Re: BETA Clean Energy Project phase 2 version 6.33

martin64,

As you've seen this [small] beta is for all WCG platforms (maybe not Mac PPC?). No point launching this beta big. Done some stats myself and on Linux it seemed that about 1/8th of my wingman have this black-hole time gap. That's way too many to leave unaddressed, IMHO... Maybe credit/time should be based on elapsed instead for that science as the tasks do seem to have clean logs matching the ones that come of 'normal' clients. Think that new BOINC does report elapsed time, starting from when it's needed for GPU task reporting.

edit: hmmm, Merriam-Webster is approving of "unaddressed", just Firefox spellchecker is not and wanted to make "undressed" out of it :O
