Task reruns after finishing
(Message 995)
Posted 13 May 2017 by forretrio Post: https://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/result.php?resultid=1016278 Recently one of my 8t task kind of hanged my machine and forced me for restart the manager. However I waited the the task to complete (but it failed to submit it). Here are the last few lines of the factor file: 05/13/17 12:33:13 v1.34.5 @ REMI-N, nfs: raising min_rels by 5.00 percent to 11320758 That indicates that the number concerned can be factorized as 1051328063 *56776958843214016172259292138564062174520464953027 *1089166811196532289855261540103998746537161103288818992879418747458942383217 which is indeed true by checking it manually. When I restarted the manager, the task restarted halfway (which always happens to me), but I do not want to rerun the task as this is a waste of resources as the factorization is all we want and we have it already. I know this is a bit suspicious because it is impossible to determine whether the CPU time is true for the above log (I swear it to be true), but can I simply abort the task but still get credit for it? I have the complete stderr and factor log, and hopefully the other files are not destroyed by restarting the calculation. |

Posted 20 Mar 2017 by forretrio Post: Given how the apps are coded as described, you may not want to run the longer tasks if your computer crashes often or in general unstable. The progress bar is useless here. To check progress you may want to open the slot and check the files inside. During the NFS factorization when it's still generating relations there is no way that you can tell the time it takes, but once it goes into the linear algebra phase the estimated time of completion should be manageable. |

Elapsed time going back

Posted 15 Dec 2016 by forretrio Post: https://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/result.php?resultid=914592 The task is completed today and I am granted credits for ~1 day of computation but I actually crunched for ~2.5 days. Not that I am complaining about the credits, I just want to know what's wrong with my computer... |

Elapsed time going back
(Message 919)
Posted 14 Dec 2016 by forretrio Post: I am currently crunching a task (30+ hours and counting...) Suddenly the elapsed time went from ~30 hours back to 17 hours or so, and the progress bar dropped from 99% back to 92%. I checked the flies in the corresponding slot but it does not seemed to lose any data: stderr: the q keeps increasing with no significant gap out: nfs: commencing algebraic side lattice sieving over range: 5400000 - 5410000 factor 12/15/16 00:55:51 v1.34.5 @ FLANDRE-SCO, nfs: previous data file found - commencing search for last special-q Two questions: 1) Is that normal? If not is it the problem of my computer or the app itself? 2) Will the cpu time/credits be probably calculated in the final result? |

Posted 13 Dec 2016 by forretrio Post: I just had a quick screenshot in the hope that I didn't miss something. I had the task running and renamed graphics_app to graphics_app.exe then clicked show graphics, but I am still stuck at the initializing page. Do I need to modify yafu.html as you mentioned as well? |

Posted 13 Dec 2016 by forretrio Post: Hi, I just renamed graphics_app to graphics_app.exe but I am still stuck in the 'initializing' forever. Are there anything else I have to modify or it is just a problem of running javascripts on the browser? Thanks :) |
