Re: Beta Test

Watch the BETA units guys.

I've just had to suspend 2 that went for nearly 2 hours with no progress in %. Time left decreased down to 0 but the unit just kept on crunching. The stderr.txt file had only a single line in it "Unable to open checkpoint file starting from 0".

Re: Beta Test

We will be sending out about 4500 work units with a quorum of 2. These will have similar runtimes to the last beta test.

ugm1_00010 - 30 minutes
ugm1_00011 - 4 hours
ugm1_00012 - 1.5 hours


I picked up 4 x 00011. All crunching happily but no checkpointing! sad

Although the guide says 4 hrs completion I estimate 4h30m; 2h55m; 1h48m; 1h12m. All ~93.5% efficiency on a "used" machine.

Other than no checkpoints the BETA thread seems to indicate that the problems are in the
00012 WUs.

One comment - After 4h CPU time, mine are showing >99.7% progress but those figures are changing very slowly. seems to be happening on my WUs sad

Re: Beta Test

We will be sending out about 4500 work units with a quorum of 2. These will have similar runtimes to the last beta test.

ugm1_00010 - 30 minutes

Other than no checkpoints the BETA thread seems to indicate that the problems are in the

One comment - After 4h CPU time, mine are showing >99.7% progress but those figures are changing very slowly. seems to be happening on my WUs sad


This has to be one of the worst BETA tests in recent times! crying

The thread has a few isolated reports of checkpointing and WUs completing but the vast majority report WUs reaching >99% but not finishing. like trying to compute the umpteen fraction to find the perfect pi.

Significant numbers of WUs are being suspended or aborted! No official comment as yet sad

All my 4 BETAs reached >99% over night before I suspended them. I note that none of my wingmen have returned completed work and suggest everyone should suspend BETA work until official guidance is issued.

Yep, I have 7 of them running on my 24-thread server, will see what happens if/when they get down to 0:00:00 remaining time.

Re: Beta Test

Words of wisdom from Keith Uplinger

Re: New BETA test - Sept 18, 2014 [ Issues Thread ]
Sorry for the long delay on a response, but we have figured out the root cause for the work units hanging. It is a work unit build problem with some of the input files being improperly formed. These input files were manually changed outside of the build script to change a special character. When more than one special character was encountered in the manual update of them, it changed the length of the line that was expected. Thus it has caused the application to appear stalled. It was technically still working just on data that was a lot longer (1000000x) than normal. We are going to set all the work units currently out there to report as being completed (server_abort).

I have disabled the assimilator and validator for the time being. This will allow for the results to stay in the database longer than normal. I will be reviewing the data that members have returned on Monday for these batches and grant credit if someone hits the resource limit (cpu timeout). I will also see about those that manually aborted them, to see if some partial credit for time spent can be given.

We changed the build script so that manual intervention on removing the special character is not needed. After we clean up from this current beta, we will be sending out proper work units, no time table on that yet.

Thanks,
-Uplinger


If I understand correctly - take no action (or suspend) a Server abort is imminent!
