And the saga continues

3 valid WUs and 18 that I had to abort in the last 5 days

Anybody else have any suggestions

Again thanks for the response


RAM set back to 4800 The rest of my projects thank you

I have ATLAS max_concurrent set to 1 in the app_config file

I'll make the project prefs change, I've occasionally gotten a waiting for memory in BOINC Manager, but only when I've been doing other stuff on the computer

latest WU clicking along nicely 19:42 CPU time with 10:00 elapsed time

Thanks for the response Made the recommended change and even re-booted to make sure nothing hung around

First WU to run 1 minute 54 seconds CPU time over 3 hours of elapsed time

In the last several weeks I've had a ton of WUs where the processor time freezes anywhere between one minute and 5 minutes while elapsed time continues to climb This is confirmed by Resource Monitor VBox monitor shows the job as "running"

They will stay like this til I abort them

When I look at my Tasks List, after aborting them, many show zero CPU or Elapsed time. I assure you they all had at least an half hour of elapsed time and as I said 1 to 5 minutes of CPU time

I was using the current version of VBox, (6.1.12) so I down levelled to the one on the project download page (6.0.14) Still happens

Doesn't happen every time, but often enough I thought I'd mention it

Anyone else seeing something similar?

Aaaaaaaaaand

Credit is back where it was

My last 5 WUs have all been in the 450-600 credit range

I don't remember changing anything there, certainly not maxcpus

I DO use an APP_CONFIG to control that, which is why I mentioned it before and I've restarted BOINC several times recently (for service application) So the APP_CONFIG would over-ride the options there, wouldn't it?


in any case, how can that possibly affect the credit awarded for an equivalent CPU time? Doesn't CPU time account for different numbers of "processors" as oppose to wall-clock time?

Really?

APP_CONFIG was last changed 2020/02/20

And <avg_ncpus>2.000000</avg_ncpus for Atlas has been 2 since I started running it years ago

This vastly reduced credit started 2020/03/21

In the last couple of days credit seems to be dramatically lower than previously

Jobs were averaging 450 - 550 credits each

Now for the same approximate run times they are averaging 125 - 150 each

Nope

WU sent to me only with an 8 day due date

Cancelled by the server after 3 1/2 days and sent to another cruncher





I've got a work buffer of 1.5 days /.5 days


No other project has a problem with this

So no one has an explanation for this bullshit?

The ATLAS server knows (or should know) that I am returning 3-4 WUs a day, but sends me 12-15 every other day'

Then cancels them before the due date

Ok

I'm finally getting ATLAS WUs again (thanks for the assistance)


But have noticed something strange

The WUs are coming with an 8 day due date, but SOME are randomly being cancelled by the server and re-issued after 3 1/2 days , but not all that have been received on the same date/time are cancelled


No loss, since none of them had actually started processing, but why is this happening?

Thanks for the heads up on the memory size

I'm not sure which change "cured" things, but I deselected both "run native" and "fun test apps"

OK

I've deselected all projects except ATLAS

Server Status still shows ~2k tasks available

and I still haven't gotten any WUs in over a week


Do I just need to give up on ATLAS?

I just got a tone of Sixtrack, but no ATLAS or Theory, even tho Server Status shows both with WUs to send

Tho I find it hard to believe that a reconfigured CMS entry in app_config would prevent ATLAS downloads., I went ahead and reset LHC , (and removed all references to CMS in app_config)

I’ve got Six Track, Theory, and ATLAS selected in my preferences

I still cannot get ANY WUs to download Doesn’t tell me “not highest priority project” just doesn't download anything even tho there are WUs for all of three available according to Server Status


Any other suggestions?

You can use an app_config.xml file

Post:
I've tried disabling and re-enabling network activity

That gets the one or two stuck in download limbo kicked loose, but within one or two download files, the same behavior is observed

Downloads start normally,then "stall" where NO DATA is being transferred As a result the detected throughput drops to next t ozero
