Recent Invalids

Something strange?

I've just got a new machine and I'm running Ubuntu for the first time. It's been running Zika just fine, but it ran a couple of FAH2 WUs for the first time yesterday and I see this morning that they're both flagged Invalid. Looking at the wingmen it seems they got the same thing, though the logs look normal. Do we have some bad WUs out there or is there a problem with the validator, or is my new machine not up to scratch?

Here they are:

Re: Recent Invalids

Unlikely to be anything wrong with your PC.
The few units I have had recently have been invalid for all.

Re: Recent Invalids

Thanks, Paul.

Sounds like it's one for the techs to look at on Monday.

Re: Recent Invalids

You can apply a Boolean 'True or False ' test to the observation... from my hunting tool, just the raw 'show all fahb' filter applied, found 6, all 6 valid.

as in, there's devices able to complete them successfully and until then, max copies tried 5 is applied. W8/W10

Re: Recent Invalids

So it seems the problem is Linux-only. Perhaps even Linux 64-bit only.

Anyone else with comments?

Re: Recent Invalids

FAH2_000819 tasks (and higher) are actually new tasks which were presumably going to be held up until the "asynchronous replica exchange" version of FAH2 went live, but some have been allowed out... Perhaps there's something wrong with the data files for some of these?

It's mentioned on the status page at Temple. (And that looks as if there'll be plenty of work when they do restart properly!)

By the way, I haven't seen an FAH2 task for quite a while, and certainly not one from any experiments numbered 819 or higher, so I've had no first-hand experience of these errors.

Re: Recent Invalids

Thanks for highlighting the experiment addition through batch 1318. It does say

"Note that due to the upcoming release of asynchronous replica exchange, these simulations may be cut short and rerun with the new protocols. "

i.e. second thoughts must have arisen to not release them under the old crunching regimen.

Re: Recent Invalids

Sounds like a beta that wasn't. At least I can stop worrying about my new machine (for the moment, anyway).

Thanks for the info everyone.

Re: Recent Invalids

The invalids are being caused by a workunit issue. We have stopped validation for now so no new copies are sent out. We will have to clean things up on the server then get them going again. We will update this thread as we progress.

Thanks,
armstrdj
