Sekerob - theres no problem with anything you said, I can assure you
 To explain - over at PCReview we have an 'Adopt-a-Rig' system where folks donate spare PC parts to build crunchers - the first one was built and named in memory of my Dad who passed away last year - it is managed by our dear friend and Team Captain, muckshifter  |

AndyWebb/MuckShifter, i never looked close enough for it to sink in. I was looking for something on Round-Robin messages, when noticing that the logs pasted in this thread are dated August 1, 2006.....is this from back to the future?

Well spotted ... that was what the 'problem' was ... no idea why a clean install would set the date up wrong, but I missed it along with a few hundred other people ... Ady spotted it straight away.  |

You will see this 'earliest deadline.....overcommitted...no work fetch' stuff e.g. if BOINC decides that you got too much on your plate.......possibly John Webb, you've been suspending WU's to prioritize manually, rather than making BOINC do the ordered processing. It would fetch work on the basis of your profile settings on active WU's awaiting processing. I have three fast computers working. BOINC is mysterious in some ways. One computer is well mixed. I am running two projects and all items are checked for WCG. WCG has 95/100 of relative effort. Another project has 5/100 of relative effort. The network days was set to 2.5 days at the time and 3.5 days now. Switchover was set to 3 hours.Both BOINC projects were set to accept work. One computer was loaded entirely with WCG. The other computer was loaded entirely with the other project, even though I had previously told it to only run that project 5% of the time. It seems like whichever project is currently connected often loads a full queue of whatever it wants and ignores the proportional ratio. More WCG is being downloaded now, and the other project is out of work today. I have seen this effect before, but I will just let things run rather than aborting some workunits to set the queue to the proportion that BOINC should be doing all along. WCG is downloading a random set of FAAH and HPF2, but certainly is not 95% of the queue. A couple of days ago it was 100%, 50% and 0% on 2.5 days of work on three computers.

Yes misterious, but by close observation alot can be deduced. Just figured out this issue on an other thread i started regarding when tasks are send automatically and immediately, versus 'scheduled' task reporting. Essentially my conclusion is, that yet again ill computation of estimated times to complete on work not started. You will have noticed that every time a WU is completed all the WU's of a type, e.g. FAAH, will assume a projected time of the first FAAH in the queue. Quick FAAH, queue projection time shrinks, long FAAH, suddenly overcommitted again. Hope they get better opproximations on the next version....should reduce alot of unneeded comms and queu shuffling and project shifting and whatnot.
----------------------------------------PS, goes without saying, that HPF2 has same behaviour. No clue how accurate non-WCG projects are plotted out. PPS, personally i'd like to have an option in BOINC that can force at least once per 24 hours Completed Task Reporting.....so more friendly for finding canonicals, quorums, validations etc etc..mostly its hitting that Update button when i'm at home. As always, stand to be corrected, but plz be gentle

I'm finding since Boinc 5.4.9 that completed result reporting is happening virtually straight away regardless of how long you set your network connection days (mine set at 2 days) whereas with the old version I had results sitting there for hours unless I manually updated. |
