Re: Beta Testing VINA on Android Devices - July 9, 2013 - Issues Thread

Thx for helping captainjack!

The only WU I procesed successfully yesterday is already validated. But I had a bunch of WUs that produced errors... Maybe that is the cause.

Here some details about the errors, hope that helps:

- Samsung Galaxy Note N7000, 2 cores, Android 4.1.2
- yesterday 10 Beta-Android WUs received (SN2S and FAAH), 1 Finished, 9 produced Errors

Here three exemplary result logs of WUs that produced errors (errors of the others were similar):

Re: Beta Testing VINA on Android Devices - July 9, 2013 - Issues Thread

Ok, got some new WUs, just as the statistics update began. So I guess you were right captainjack, just that the day does not begin at 00:00 but with the statistics update ;)
Lets see if the tasks run correctly now. Or at least I will try to narrow the problem down.

Re: Beta Testing VINA on Android Devices - July 9, 2013 - Issues Thread

Still testing on Android and all my workunits have been valid so far.
It takes 6 to 7 hours per task, which is good for an Android-powered smartphone.

6 or 7 results so far. Droid Razr Maxx. Working fine so far. Battery nice and cool.

Re: Beta Testing VINA on Android Devices - July 9, 2013 - Issues Thread

Temperatures and units fine with Galaxy S3. No errors (so far at least).

Not overly concerned, but elapsed times were significantly longer than had expected (up to 3* CPU time); might have something to do with running all 4 available cores. When quoting expected run times, as BOINC app only quotes elapsed time may be better to quote this with CPU time.

Originally thought would have to reduce number of cores crunched, to reduce power consumption as was discharging although thought was under charge (without BOINC it charged OK). Determined problem was with long power cable (2 connected together). Without extender cable had no issues.

With longest unit (BETA_ SN2S_ AAB68717_ 0000027_ 3002) at around 85% complete suddenly went down to one core from 4 processing; when selected Project Update the others restarted. Guess BOINC thought the core count had reduced. Nothing in log about it... Looked like BOINC had temporarily got confused (i.e. not unit issue).

Re: Beta Testing VINA on Android Devices - July 9, 2013 - Issues Thread

My phone (HTC Evo 3D) still consistently reverts to using one core, or only detects one core, or removes the 'number of cores' to use option. When I restart the phone it detects both cores and some time later defaults to 1. I think its when its talking to the WCG server and the settings are conflicting, it's my guess i cant be sure.

I've also seen that when two cores are running it doesn't seem to be as efficient as I would expect. CPU time stays about constant but elapsed time jumps massively, as Ian_UK has mentioned. Might be that running on all cores on android is a bad, could background processes keep jumping between cores interrupting Boinc greatly increasing the total time? This in turn greatly reduces the efficiency of running two cores versus one as the elapsed time pre result is equivalent between one and two.

Tablet with Android 3.2 (corrected) / DualCore Tegra2 @ 1.0 Ghz joined Beta at 11.07.2013 finished x workunits:
- 34 SN2S
- 9 FAHV

No problems so far ... running nonstop. applause

My tests are done using the NativeBOINC client. I haven't had any issues with it running WCG project.

I can confirm, all my tasks are valid.

Re: Beta Testing VINA on Android Devices - July 9, 2013 - Issues Thread

The freedom of choice, but don't expect any support running this client... it's the Native developers to keep up with the Berkeley ones to maintain compatibility. That said, the client is not doing the processing, it's the science app, so most of the times it does not matter which agent version you run.
