20/04/2025 13:07:55 | World Community Grid | Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: max concurrent job limit; Intel GPU: blocked by project preferences)

This is despite neither ARP nor MCM being at their cache limits.

Re: Project Status (First Post Updated)

That was a fix that was applied a while back to the client as a result of the client ignoring work fetch limits when max concurrent was specified in the app_config.xml file.

Re: Project Status (First Post Updated)

That was a fix that was applied a while back to the client as a result of the client ignoring work fetch limits when max concurrent was specified in the app_config.xml file.
The fix uses the smallest max_concurrent value for a specific [BOINC] project for its decision making because there's no way the client can tell a server not to send work for a particular application... This can cause issues if the client has mis-calculated the estimated run time for one or more of the applications[*1]; if the estimates are excessive the only work-around seems to be to increase the cache size!

If one is only running BOINC projects that support server-side limits on tasks sent, this isn't a problem[*2]. However, not all projects do so, and in those cases that could result in other projects flooding the cache :-(

I don't think that fix is likely to be changed, so if Mike is only running WCG work I'd suggest he makes sure his WCG profile limits are such that he can never get more work than he wants and then increase buffer size -- on all but one of my systems I have needed to do something like that, with the buffer size now having at least twice the space needed for the maximum number of tasks it will ever receive!

Cheers - Al.

*1 I have a self-compiled 8.0.2 client (to solve the issue of non-default venues causing log spam issues, a problem mentioned elsewhere , and first self-resolved for client 7.24.1) -- when building 8.0.2 I may have missed a compilation option that has affected the benchmarks, which are not consistent with those shown by an unpatched client...

*2 Sites with standard BOINC and profile limits may report that a profile-based limit has been reached on each unnecessary request; WGC doesn't bother to report that!

Re: Project Status (First Post Updated)

Thanks Al

I've noticed the weirdness and was trying to figure out what was happening. I did not get the nice debug message Mike had, so I was lost.

Re: Project Status (First Post Updated)

Happy Easter!

I've gotten tons of ARP1 tasks the past week or so, more than I've received in many months.

  • i5-4590 (Haswell, 4C/4T) @ 3.3 GHz

Re: Project Status (First Post Updated)

My flow of ARP WUs is dwindling. I got a resend at 2025-04-20 23:56:52 UTC but it has been longer since I got a fresh ARP WU.

MCM is still flowing well.

edit: now getting fresh ARPs

edit again: small window of fresh ARPs. not getting any again.

Getting all the tasks I want, and all I want is MCM, while waiting for MAM Beta for Windows.

Re: Project Status (First Post Updated)

The reference number leads me to believe that ARP WUs are going out at an OK rate. I'm not getting many personally though.

MCM is flowing well. I'm not getting one every ask, but good enough.
