1) Message boards : Number crunching : Wrong Core Parameter on 8t WUs? (Message 1614)

Post:
I also have six 8t WUs and a 4t WU that are running way too long and show very low CPU usage. Some are sitting at 100% done. Delete them?

There must be some bad 16t WUs being sent out because now I have another one on a different machine.
It's at over 38 hours so I'm aborting it, 0 CPU, no updates to factor.log

This one looks like it's stalled 3 out of 3 times. Here's the WU:

A follow up. Left the 2 WUs trying to upload while gone for 9 days. Since the website records disappear quickly I don't know if they finally uploaded after they timed out (doubt it), but after the time out date the computer has again received WUs and the completed WUs are now once again being accepted by the server. Will continue to observe...

Another 26 hours of WUs that won't complete uploading. One is a stuck upload at 100%, the other at 83.9%.
Rebooting the computer didn't help. All other projects (as before) are working perfectly. I give up.

The difference between all apps is that they run composites with different length:
- yafu small, requires at least 2 cores runs composites up to C109
- yafu, requires at least 2 cores runs composites up to C124
- yafu-4t, requires exactly 4 cores runs composites up to C129
- yafu-8t, requires exactly 8 cores runs composites up to C134
- yafu-16t, requires at least 16 cores runs composites up to C139
- yafu-32t, requires at least 32 cores runs composites up to C144

In the wu name is a _Cxxx_ part which tells the length of the composite.

Maybe update this table. In the last few days I've had 16t WUs up to C143. Here's one for example:

name yafu_ali_25968_L145_C143_1518767418_57

There is nothing left of the previous BOINC client on the machine yet YAFU and only YAFU reports as "temporarily unavailable".
Mysterious. I wonder if it will work after those 3 WUs that the sever thinks are in process time out?

After the 3 WUs mentioned above timed out the server allowed the client to reattach normally as its original ID.

You mean when I try to add the project? This is the only line added in the log:

2/25/2018 2:10:50 PM |  | Fetching configuration file from http://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/get_project_config.php

It looks like there is no response from the server.


If I update on a different machine, I "almost instantly" get:

2/25/2018 2:15:44 PM | yafu | update requested by user
2/25/2018 2:15:48 PM | yafu | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.

2/25/2018 2:15:51 PM | yafu | This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress


The other 10 machines are all running YAFU very nicely. The only thing to mention is that quite a few of the 4t and 8t WUs with shorter deadlines are ending up running at "high priority" in BOINC and even over the deadline. None of the WUs are ever swapped out, as the "switch between app time" is set at 80 hours. Basically YAFU runs all the time on these computers, only running other apps as filler when there are spare cores.

What happens on a different computer?

Removed YAFU on a different computer and it reattached fine.

On the problem computer I just uninstalled BOINC, deleted all BOINC directories (both program and data), even searched the registry for YAFU references. Reinstalled BOINC 7.8.3, installed other projects. All that went perfectly. Then tried to install YAFU. "The project is temporarily unavailable, please try again later."

Here's the host in question:

https://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=31175

Two of the three tasks that show as in progress are the ones that partially uploaded and then couldn't finish and report. The third I aborted before originally deleting the project after the upload problem. None of this seemed to be acknowledged by the server. Very strange. Nothing more that I can do at this end.

Edit: My other 10 YAFU machines are running fine.

Installed an older version of BOINC (7.6.33), still happens. I'll try running out all the other work from other projects (all working fine), completely uninstall BOINC and blow its directories away and reinstall. In all the many years that I've run BOINC I've never seen this one...

This seemed to have coincided with the server outage, maybe a coincidence?

The URL I use to attach: http://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/

When I try to attach via BOINC manager I get "project unavailable".

When I try to attach via BoincTasks it attempts to attach, says the project is available then in the BOINC log:

OK, logging out allows one to wade through a few screens to get to the URL. However there doesn't seem to be any way to get there if you're logged in and are simply adding a machine.

The more important thing is why the project keeps reporting "temporarily unavailable" when trying to add a machine?

I said heck with it and just deleted the project and tried to reattach. It says "Project temporarily unavailable" when I try to attach. Yet all the site pages seem to be online.

BTW, can't seem to find a URL listed on the main page or instructions for attaching to YAFU anywhere. The URL I've used before is: http://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/
