Begining today with the long WU > 1 hour,

After several hours of computation they simply report a computational error. And that, for several different computers.

No overclocking here.

Anu ideia what´s happening?

Client state Compute error

This is a client error, not project error.

See bonic wiki for error codes at http://www.boinc-wiki.info/Error_Code

-177 = ERR_RSC_LIMIT_EXCEEDED = resource limit exceeded

This means you need to allocate more resource space, in this case disk space. Either adjust/raise your preferences or you need to delete some junk to free up space. Detach old projects that aren't being used but taking up space.

You need to check the boinc manager disk tab, how much space is available to boinc and how much is free ? How much is showing using for LHC ? maybe it is another project taking up all the space ?

I'm running 3 LHC 1.0 on one machine, all at 5 hours (51%) so far and the total used by LHC is 65MB. On a second machine it is running 8 at about 1 hour so far and only used 55MB. I've got a lot of projects attached and only used 5GB and still 200GB free for boinc.

Maybe you have less than 1 GB free on your drive?

If you run other BOINC projects they would be crashing for the same reason if you have less than 1 GB free.

I had 2 wu's errored out with disk limit. Without changing my settings or pojects I now have 17GB of disk space available for BOINC. I don't think that 2 wu's of LHC are entitled to occupy 17GB.

But you also have the "Leave at least X GB free" rule. Do you have at least X GB free?

Hmm .... that's strange

because I have always told BOINC to use all the memory and Disk it wants on my computer

and this my new DELL WorkStation computer ... with tons of memory and disk space.

My Computing preferences: for SixTrack and Test4Theory:

Disk and memory usage:

Use at most 542 GB disk space

Leave at least:

0.001 GB disk space free

(Values smaller than 0.001 are ignored)

Use at most 100% of total disk space

Tasks checkpoint to disk at most every 60 seconds

Use at most 100% of page file (swap space)

Use at most 100% of memory when computer is in use

Use at most 100% of memory when computer is not in use

Client state Compute error
Exit status -177 (0xffffffffffffff4f)


This is a client error, not project error.

.......

You need to check the boinc manager disk tab, how much space is available to boinc and how much is free ? How much is showing using for LHC ? maybe it is another project taking up all the space ?

I'm running 3 LHC 1.0 on one machine, all at 5 hours (51%) so far and the total used by LHC is 65MB. On a second machine it is running 8 at about 1 hour so far and only used 55MB. I've got a lot of projects attached and only used 5GB and still 200GB free for boinc.


I have the same error.
used disc space for Boinc = 932.15 MB
free disc space available for Boinc = 99.06 GB

Check the disk tab and report how much space each project shows using.

I do see T4T is using 2.2G on my system only running one task only 50% done, and that is more than CPDN which is running 4 tasks using 1.72GB. Those are the largest two. The other 60 or so projects only use small amount of MB each.

Still on the other system LHC is only showing up to 72MB, two tasks are at 60% for 6 hours runtime, the other at 98% for 4 hours. the 4 hour finished and it dropped to 60MB so it was using about 12MB for that task of 4MB per hour.

I don't see how one gets to 17GB from 12MB.

Just a thought, do you guys have your "write to disk" interval at some small number, maybe it is checkpointing way too often and creating a large file.

I use 900 seconds which is 15 minutes.

BoincTasks says, i have 1 checkpoint / minute.

It works for 91 projects, if its not working for LHC its a project problem.

ah ... yes good thinking and catch ... I have:

Tasks checkpoint to disk at most every 60 seconds


I'll change mine to 900 seconds ... and see if that helps :)

I bet you guys with 60 seconds spend more time writing checkpoints files than computing. This problem crops up at malariacontrol which has huge checkpoint files.

i'd rather loose upto 15 minutes of work, as I don't reboot all that often than waste half the day wearing out my disk drive.

My guess is from my 12MB for 4 hours it is generating 1MB per checkpoint, and if you write 60MB per hour that is 300MB for 5 hours per task. This might be your problem. Especially if your client pauese a lot of tasks to start new ones. Also this multiplies by every project you run.

Try either 300 for 5 minutes or 900 for 15 minutes. I think in the long run you'll find overall better performance with not that much loss, unless your client regularly crashes or you reboot multiple times a day.

Report back if that helps, then we will know.

I have no problem with 300MB there is enough space for 12 GB / task.

have looked at the crashed wus and what my wingman do
they are in progress, unsent or also crashed non of them ar valid.

Yes thank you Keith ... will do

This is happening to me all over the place. Hundreds of hours of wasted crunching time. This needs to be addressed by the project immediately.

I found the problem I think in the init_data.ini file

<rsc_disk_bound>30000000.000000</rsc_disk_bound>, This is 28MB

Those last two running ended in computational error after 6 hours, and by my last check the LHC folder was up to 60MB - 4MB showing now that it is empty of tasks is 54MB divided by 2 tasks is 26MB each, they ended shortly after I last checked. They had about 4 more hours to go.

These are the first two that errored for me.

This is a limit the project can put on a task, that limit might have be fine for the short runs, but at the 1 million turns it is not enough.

I've got one now at 99% and 27.1 MB (28,512,256 bytes) - It finished at 5:29:40

Next 95% done is at 25.7 MB (26,996,736 bytes) 05:34:44 and 10 mins to go

Next 58% done is at 27.7 MB (29,048,832 bytes) 05:35:30 with 3 hours to go = i bet this would error, except i stopped boinc and manually bumbped up the limit and it got to 05:51:07 at 28.7 MB (30,146,560 bytes) and counting.

So this is the problem - The project needs to up the limit.
