Larger jobs in the pipeline

Posted 2 Feb 2022 by rbpeake Post: The goal is to have these longer running jobs become the standard so that jobs are processed more efficiently (start-up time allocated over a larger number of processed jobs)? Thank you. |

Why Such Varied Runtimes?
(Message 45488)
Posted 20 Oct 2021 by rbpeake Post: Thank you for the detailed reply. It’s interesting to know that jobs will keep coming up to a 12-hour age for the VM. Those recent CMS failures were due to a reboot. I’ll be more careful next time!👍 |

Posted 31 Oct 2019 by rbpeake Post: Tasks do nothing and end with error after 15-20 minutes.which is typical for "no sub-tasks available" At what point will CERN be able to generate CMS jobs themselves, so you would not be required to submit batches? |

ATLAS issues
(Message 38068)
Posted 26 Feb 2019 by rbpeake Post: ...Remember ATLAS was not initially developed for BOINC. It was developed for a vast network of many thousands of non-BOINC hosts on CERN's own non-BOINC distributed computing network. BOINC is just an after thought, a mere add on attached to their DC network with bits of glue and twine. BOINC delivers up only a few hundreds of hosts that together return a miniscule amount of work compared to CERN's own DC network. While they certainly appreciate our contributions there is a limit on how much effort they should invest in keeping less capable BOINC hosts happy. Although from this table, https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/atlas_job.php Boinc is not an insignificant contributor to the overall ATLAS effort. :) |

Posted 30 Mar 2018 by rbpeake Post: Thanks! The problem I have is that 11 instances of ATLAS 2-core download, but then only 7 of them run. With my allocating 22 cores to LHC, the 4 ATLAS 2-cores that are there but not running prevent other LHC work units from running. So i an stuck with just 14 of my 22 cores running. |

Very long tasks in the queue
(Message 34688)
Posted 17 Mar 2018 by rbpeake Post: The current ATLAS tasks process 100 events, but as an experiment we have sent some tasks with 1000 events. We would like to see if it's possible to run tasks like these on ATLAS@Home because this is the same number of events each task processes on the ATLAS grid. It would make things a lot easier if the same tasks could run on ATLAS@Home as on the rest of the ATLAS grid. And I wish there were a way for ATLAS to identify the Windows machines that could process these successfully, and have an opt-in option for the user. I had no problems with these when they were available. Thanks! |

Posted 15 Mar 2018 by rbpeake Post: Is there a limit on the number of instances of Atlas tasks running on any particular machine? I have 20 cores and was running five instances of 4-core Atlas tasks. In the interest of increasing efficiency, I switched to 2-core Atlas tasks. But instead of ten 2-core tasks running, I am seeing only seven 2-core Atlas tasks running. What happened? Thanks! |
