Re: Stuck workunits
Hello Questar,
Armstrdj listed his questions at the start of this thread. Identify the stuck unit, look at it with Task Manager / Process Monitor. What OS, what version BOINC, what throttle setting? Armstrdj emphasizes the throttle in 2 more short queries. Once you have answered that, then reboot or take your preferred corrective action.

biggrin Once Armstrdj has it figured out, we will get a post about it.

Re: Stuck workunits
I aborted 2 stucked WUs this morning, I seem to get quite a few that get stucked. I have another one. I am running Windows 7 on an i7. The task manager shows 0 CPU usage. DSFL_00000045_0000045_658_0 has elapsed time of 33:57:24, 33.214% and 47:57:12 to completion.

I am aborting it as well.

Re: Stuck workunits
By the way, I cannot see the properties of any wu on this machine, I do not know why, every time I click on properties (Win 7) it seems the little window appears but I am not able to see it (it is just shown as miniature on the task bar). Any suggestions?

Thanks


The usual procedure for this is to use the mouse to drag the boundaries of the little windows outwards, if it appears at all.

If it appears only on the taskbar, clicking on it is usually adequate.

Re: Stuck workunits
I have started having a problem with BOINC Manager losing the display normally shown. The PC is a laptop running 7/24 and uses Windows XP. The system is set up to use 100% of processors 80% of the time - I just changed it to 70% of the time.. Several things mentioned in this thread I know nothing about are LAIM and TThrottle. What is LAIM and where do I get TThrottle?

I haven't said it yet, but the only I am running now is DSFL. In addition, if I reboot, everything seems to run fine. I am also going to shut down BOINC manager in between examining the status of WUs which are running. Will this cause a problem transferring the results or the reporting of tasks completed?


See here for the Tthrottle program:

Re: Stuck workunits
6.12.33 (both 32 and 64 bit)

I am running BOINC 6.10.56... What am I missing by not moving to 6.12.33?


I'm now running 6.12.34. As far as I can tell, you're missing the Notices tab where you can get some messages from the projects, and very little else you're likely to care about.

Re: Stuck workunits
Found one hung/stuck this morning.

No errors in computer system or application logs.

Have client set to use 50% CPU time. Device has been a good cruncher except for this problem.


After finding hung/stuck WU I performed the following steps:

1. Suspended client
2. Computer reboot
3. Resume client, task showed status "Running", CPU last checkpoint 07:27:56, CPU time 07:28:02, Elapsed time 07:29:40. Appears to be running normally now.

Re: Stuck workunits
I found four stuck work units out of five running this morning.



I closed the BOINC client, went to process explorer and found the 4 processes for those did not close,and the boinctray process is still listed as well. All non-stuck work units closed. Here is the state of those processes at that point.



OS is Win 7 Professional Service Pack 1 32 bit
Processors are 2 Xeon x5450s
Using default settings, I think that is 60% cpu
