5) Message boards : Number crunching : When will you update yafu to version 2? (Message 1698) Posted 3 Jan 2023 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Maybe the fault of gfns but then why don't implement a control mechanism to detect when it is clearly stuck : for example we can see the log files not being updated anymore in the slot directory, we can see only one gfns process running endlessly and all the other threads idle... So define a "security time" after which task to be stopped if such conditions are met - with error code and loss of credits, or not, this is another debate. Happy new year ;)
6) Message boards : Number crunching : No more tasks (< 16t) ? (Message 1651) Posted 26 Sep 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Yes I had posted because at some point there were none, but now it went back to usual behavior : 1 task running / 2 tasks ready to start. Cool :)

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Wrong Core Parameter on 8t WUs? (Message 1628) Posted 10 Jun 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Oh OK, so it changed then : I think that before I could have 2 parallel 4t tasks running on my i5 / 8 threads. Good to know this is normal :)
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Wrong Core Parameter on 8t WUs? (Message 1626) Posted 9 Jun 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: I confirm that now they are not limited to 1 thread, however now the behavior of the 4t task is the opposite : they are actually using 8 threads ! WTH ?
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Wrong Core Parameter on 8t WUs? (Message 1625) Posted 7 Jun 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: The first task did terminated and got (modestly) credited after more than 4 days of calculation. The second one (4t task) is still running (and has some "extra deadline" to finish yet) but suddenly at some point it decided it should run on 8 available threads (it is a 4t !!!) --> I see 8 gnfs-lasieve process now running in memory And I know these processes do correspond to this running task because - the slot contains work files dated 01/06, 02/06... and in the log files I see references from 01/06 onwards - the other 2 tasks sent to me on 5 and 6 June are still pending to run and have 0 crunch time (and not even a slot directory assigned). Strange isn't it ?
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Wrong Core Parameter on 8t WUs? (Message 1622) Posted 5 Jun 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Oh you are right I had not noticed the difference of deadline on my project account, what is June 1st and 3rd on my boinc manager is 11th and 13th here. However for both task the only file being updated from time to time is stderr.txt (4 hours ago for both) where it adds one "total yield" row, the 2 logs files have not been updated since yesterday morning (my previous screenshot is still valid for these). I really wonder if it's of any use to let these run, I'd like to see yoyo's opinion on this.
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Wrong Core Parameter on 8t WUs? (Message 1620) Posted 4 Jun 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Now the update ratio of the log files seems to be quite low, but still it looks like it is still doing something... only the stderr.txt seems to be updated more often, for both tasks 04/06/2022 07:52 - factor.log 04/06/2022 07:52 - ggnfs.log 31/05/2022 21:21 - session.log 04/06/2022 16:50 - stderr.txt 04/06/2022 07:52 - wrapper_checkpoint.txt 04/06/2022 06:55 - factor.log 04/06/2022 06:55 - ggnfs.log 02/06/2022 09:27 - session.log 04/06/2022 16:50 - stderr.txt 04/06/2022 06:55 - wrapper_checkpoint.txt and with deadlines that were on 01/06 and 03/06 will they still be considered if they ever return a result ?
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Wrong Core Parameter on 8t WUs? (Message 1618) Posted 4 Jun 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: The main question was more "how long shall I let them run" then the "too many" problem, especially if you consider each one was only running 1 thread. Now the 3rd one has terminated after 2 days 7 hours, but the other are still running with 81 and 46 hours of run... It seems the continue to update the log but with less frequency : more than 4 hours ago for both. Also now there is another YAFU v134.05 (mt) fully running (all thread) at the same time... So shall I try to let the 2 remaining 4t terminate ?

(Message 1616) Posted 3 Jun 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Since more than a week I have system issue with never ending tasks since last week I have canceled other tasks with the same issue, this is running on a i5 8t (so how on earth could it decide to calculate 3 4t tasks ?), they all have one gnfs-lasieve (really) running during some time (more than 1 hour) then restarting another one, and loging rows into factor.log, ggnfs.log and (sometimes) stderr.txt so "it looks like they are not really dead" (I had some dead tasks in the past when nothing was written in any log for hours) but now I really don't know what do it, this is now reccurrent (I have canceled similar ones and others are behaving the same over and over).
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Strange deadline management (Message 1456) Posted 11 Nov 2019 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Hi I have a task that ran for more than a day that then got suspended by another task because its deadline is shorter and boinc decided that the 2nd one needs to run in priority : Is this normal ? There is no risk that the suspended task gets rejected by the server if the new one runs for too long ? Thanks
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Stuck at 100% for nearly 6 days !! (Message 1134) Posted 21 Feb 2018 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: This one apparently crashed after more than one day of crunching : I think the computer rebooted because of forced upgrade on the machine (corporate policy, if you are not in front of the machine you have no action to prevent it...) but the checkpoint mechanism of yafu didn't work then ? It's a pity...
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Error: Can't link app version file (Message 1129) Posted 19 Feb 2018 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Most of the antiviruses allow to exclude some folders from scanning in their settings, to avoid reporting false positive (and blocking apps, like boinc) --> add boinc data folder in there. Boinc apps never include malware or virus, ask Berkeley why - or better read the well documented wiki pages regarding boinc security of applications.

(Message 1128) Posted 19 Feb 2018 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: At my side I have this task that started to crunch on 16/02/2018 11:13:03, I think it has been "100%" since 2 days, it's still running and "doing stuff" (see logs updating in the slot, progs crunching in memory) ... 19/02/2018 16:49:45 v1.34.5 @ FRHD-L509624, nfs: commencing lattice sieving with 4 threads 19/02/2018 17:28:18 v1.34.5 @ FRHD-L509624, nfs: commencing lattice sieving with 4 threads deadline was yesterday morning. I let it crunch since I can see it's doing stuff, but I report it because you mentioned it was useful.
