First thanks to all of the Beta testers. This new application has a larger number of different types of workunits than normal. This results in several possible paths through the code and some variance in workunit completion time and time between checkpoints.
The issue with workunits being stuck at 0.5% is an issue with the percent complete calculation. If the application is using cpu time it is probably not stuck so please let it continue to run for a while to verify. The 0.5% is some initialization which is taking longer for some of the types of workunits. We will correct this and determine a better way to show progress during the initialization. The application should checkpoint at most every ten minutes. This is because some of the types of workunits produce larger checkpoint files and this will help limit disk I/O. Every workunit should checkpoint so we are looking into the ones that are not checkpointing. The large output file errors are an issue with this being new research. We anticipated a smaller percentage of these so I apologize there are more than anticipated. The applicaitoin includes input parameters to limit the output sent back to the most critical and these parameters will be enhanced as we go. The next beta should have a very minimal amount of these. All users are getting credit for these errors. Thanks again for all the help in getting new research running. Thanks, armstrdj |

...Keith Uplinger mentioned memory usage of 400MB, but my first still running resend already has a peak of 1,692MB. That was just the beginning. Meanwhile memory usage 2,770MB.  |

Fast (r)evolving thread... another post in between what's being replied to so inserting quote
----------------------------------------I am getting an error message, "not requesting tasks: project is not highest priority." confused I got one Beta which seems to be running normally. Checkpointing looks OK but I am not going to try to restart it as I only have one. Your own doing, by crunching elsewhere too. WCG is not highest [fetch] priority according your client scheduler. Suspend your other projects and you'd like see that change. It's not an 'error' BTW, just a user warning, too those that look in the client event log. User intervention requiring errors actually cause a 'notice' to be generated.[Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Oct 31, 2013 3:30:39 PM] |

Only the two GPU's in each machine are running and they are using almost no CPU. No worries though ... just have never seen that particular message before.   |

I wasn't lucky to get 1 of the initial 10,000, but meanwhile fished 2 resends. First task: Wingman error with "Maximum disk usage exceeded". To see how big the upload file may grow, I extended the bound 10 times. Checkpoints after about every 10 minutes. Keith Uplinger mentioned memory usage of 400MB, but my first still running resend already has a peak of 1,692MB. Second resend: Wingman returned with "exit code -1073740940 (0xc0000374)" that normally means memory access violated. After 10 minutes the 0.5% issue, the task run to the 1st checkpoint after 19 minutes runtime, but 7 minutes later no CPU-usage anymore. Suspend with LAIM off and resume, the task restarts with 0.5% progress and it seems it's running a bit further now. Crystal Pellet, I double checked the settings, and it shows a ram limit of 400MB, Can you provide me with the work unit name that gave you the issue? Thanks, -Uplinger |

This may be beating a dead horse (cavallo for Rob) by now, but I am running on a single core of a Core2Duo E8400 (Win7 64-bit), and also get the file size exceeded limit error.

(BOINC 300%, other project 1%) It usually sorts itself out but sometimes it takes a while. FWIW I have found the problem is less frequent if you set the lower priority project to 0%.

Only the two GPU's in each machine are running and they are using almost no CPU. No worries though ... just have never seen that particular message before. Yes, we've heard of starving CPU's because of GPU's... they too compete for CPU resources. You might want to try newest clients [7.2.26 is out now and using it on my octo], but can tell you up front from own testing [and alpha reporting], there is still issues over idling CPU's under certain [reproducible] conditions. Fixed? No dev reply, to which I refrain to opine on, can guess what pressure there might be, which is an opine. Other testers have confirmed same problem.
