WU not being resent to another user

Posted 9 Nov 2012 by mikey Post: It's just a very, very busy project. They maintain a 'high water mark' of around 300,000 tasks ready to send, and turn over about 60,000 tasks per hour - so the end of the queue is never more than five or six hours away. I think you are the Pro coder while the rest of us don't know how to use those terms the way you do, so we use terms that fit for us, but are not technically accurate for you, the Pro coder. I THINK what he is trying to say is why aren't the resends automatically sent immediately to the available workunit cache instead of just into 'some other cache' then into the available units cache? |

Posted 6 Nov 2012 by mikey Post: initial replication 3 Sort of...YES 2 were initially sent out, but the 1st unit errored out the same day and the 3rd unit was sent out 2 days AFTER the 2nd unit was returned to the Project. 2 units were sent out 30 Oct, 1st unit returned the same day, 1 unit returned 1 Nov. The 3rd unit was sent out 3 Nov and returned 4 Nov. This could be due to VERY slow Server responses or a Server 'glitch' that ended up causing the current situation. The replacement unit SHOULD have been sent out immediately after the 'inconclusive' unit was returned, NOT 3 days later. COULD this be a part of the problems of not sending the bad units to another user? Is the Server NOT recognizing the invalid or inconclusive units properly and therefore NOT resending the units? |

Posted 5 Nov 2012 by mikey Post:
I think the problem is here, this seems to be a normal unit: minimum quorum 2 initial replication 2 while this is the unit in question: minimum quorum 2 initial replication 3 If a unit is INITIALLY sent to three pc's but only two are required for validation and ALL units are returned prior to the deadline, how does the Server side handle all three units? Yes then umber are MUCH different for the second pc than the other two, but shouldn't Boinc have granted credits based on the first and second pc's and NOT used the third one since the first two were NOT marked as invalid? OR does "inconclusive" mean the same thing to Boinc? A further question is what would have happened to the third unit if the second was not "inconclusive"? Would it have been aborted? What if the pc was half way thru crunching it, or even only had seconds left to finish? One would HOPE that the third unit would have been allowed to finish and be returned and ALSO granted credits, IF it returned a valid result. Especially since the user was NOT at fault for receiving it. |
