couple of thoughts ...

I believe it is the high cache setting that causes Boinc to think it has to run LHC tasks as "high priority" mode as it does not think there is enough time to finish. So if this is true turn your cache down to .5 / .01 and see if the status switches to "running". That being said, if you still have too many taks to complete in the time allotted you will remain in "high priority" mode.

As for continually getting tasks even though you have it set to low resource usage, I'm guessing it may be a combination of a large "switch between tasks" time which tells BOINC to exactly that ... not switch of LHC and then every time a high priority gets reported, it pulls more WUs.

Steve

Greetings Steve,

That did the trick! I reset the buffer to .5 / .1 and now SETI WUs are again running while the LHCs are waiting. I shall leave it as is and see how things go.

Thanks a lot Steve! :)

Keep on BOINCing...! :)

Hi,
how is your cache settings? I noticed that you have 32 WUs in progress on your host, which is quite a lot. I remember that there used to be limits set by the project how many WUs you can have in progress at one time, but whether the limits are still active I don't know. I haven't been able to grab more than 6 WUs at a time for any of my hosts, but then again I have a minimal cache setting in use 0.1+0.1. My resource share for LHC is about six times higher that Seti, Einstein and CPDN so I would expect to get more WUs for LHC than you do.

Greetings Harri,

My minimum and additional buffers are set to 5 days and 0.5 days respectively. They are set that way because of the server problems that SETI has on occasion. As I mentioned, SETI is my main project. Been with them from the start, before BOINC.

I'm not sure about other projects, but SETI has a daily limit of 100 CPU and 100 GPU WUs. We cannot have more than 200 total in progress WUs in any given day.

My shares are set to 100 for SETI and 0.5 for all other projects. I forgot to mention that I do run FreeHAL also concurrently with SETI. It is a non-CPU intensive project. Right now they are having some problem, server I believe.

If you set your minimum buffer setting to 1 or greater, you will get more WUs per day.

Thanks for responding. :)

Keep on BOINCing...! :)

Greetings,

Every time LHC (SixTrack) has WUs I get a bunch. Every time I get LHC WUs they run in high priority mode. Other projects I run do not get a chance to run until LHC runs out of WUs to send and I finish my cache of LHC WUs.

My main project is SETI. I have 4 other projects I use as backup, LHC being one that I do not use primarily as a backup project. The other 3 are set to get no new tasks. I have my resource share set high for SETI and lower for all other projects.

Is there some other setting I can change that will allow SETI and LHC to run concurrently? I have 8 SETI WUs, waiting to run, that have not had any CPU time for a few days now because LHC runs in high priority and I keep getting more WUs from LHC. I do not want to set LHC to get no new tasks; I want it to run along with SETI.

Thank you for any consideration given to this problem. :)

Keep on BOINCing...! :)

If there was so much work to process in the last 14 days, then why did I get just one WU? BOINC has been logging on and trying to get WUs at least 15 times a day for the past 14.

My CPU is only about 5 months old so it should give me at least 2 years of reliable service.

I'm not concerned about lowering my electric bill. I only have the one PC that runs 24/7. I can afford that.

"Low on work"? They,ve been "low on work" for over 2 weeks now. I have had one, that's (1), WU since finishing my last one on the 9th of this month. I believe that a more appropriate phrase would be "We are out of work indefinitely".

If it wasn't for SETI@Home and climateprediction, my PC would be off for most of a 24 hour period. There'd be no need to run it 24/7 anymore.

This jerk has got a lot of people pissed off at him. It has been suggested that we (on all project sites) completely ignore his posts and threads. Don't answer posts, don't go into threads he starts. Maybe he, and his father I found out, will get bored from the lack of attention and just go away, or (if it is at all possible) refrain from the crap they pull just to get that attention.

You think this is bad, you should see what he's been up to on the SETI site. He's been pissing off a lot of other users there, including me.

When I first started with LHC, my WUs were crunching in a few minutes over an hour. Now I'm see WUs crunching in a few minutes and I even have had at least 1 that crunched in, get this, 00:00:00 minutes. I'm also getting WUs that crunch in 10 to 15 hours. Anyone know what's up with these long winded WU crunches and the few minute crunches?

No problem. :-) I just got "Unrecoverable error...." message myself, tonight. I left a post for some insight. Sorry I can't help, but I figured it would be ok to let you know that you're not alone on this.

Posted 14 Oct 2004 by Profile Siran d'Vel'nahr
Post:
Well, I finally got my first error message with regards to an LHC WU. I have just upgraded v4.09 core client to v4.13 tonight. I read the good and bad in the message boards on the SETI site and decided to do the upgrade. I got this error message about 15 minutes ago:

LHC@home - 2004-10-13 21:26:27 - Unrecoverable error for result v64lhc1000prosix30s14_16584.15_1_sixvf_27908_2 (There are no child processes to wait for. (0x80) - exit code 128 (0x80))

In the "Work" tab it says "Computation error" under the "Status" column. I'm assuming that this may just be a WU problem. Any takers?
