Posted 24 Jul 2020 by keputnam Post: 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 |

Posted 23 Jul 2020 by keputnam Post: 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? |

(Message 41997)
Posted 24 Mar 2020 by keputnam Post: 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? |

Posted 24 Mar 2020 by keputnam Post: 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 |

Posted 23 Mar 2020 by keputnam Post: 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 |

Posted 4 Feb 2020 by keputnam Post: 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 |

Posted 3 Feb 2020 by keputnam Post: 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 |

Posted 23 Jan 2020 by keputnam Post: 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? |

Posted 9 Jan 2020 by keputnam Post: 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? |

Posted 30 Jun 2018 by keputnam 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 |
