Is anyone out there running with a Mac? Are your jobs from 5.02 or 5.03 running?

This WU was aborted by the watchdog on another machine but fished ok on my machine:

https://ralph.bakerlab.org/workunit.php?wuid=82603

Do you still receive the finished models if the watchdog kills a WU which gest stuck on model x?

I am running on Macs. I have a G4 Dual that has a 5.03 job. And a G4 Laptop that was running 2, 5.01 jobs. One of the jobs on the Laptop hung at 1.4295% for 12 hours, I restarted BOINC and it Erred, but I cant get it to report (it is still stuck on my Tasks tab) I have a second on that machine that I aborted and it is stuck in the task tab too.

This may be a boinc thing. I had upgraded to boinc 5.4.4 per instructions from Rom for error checking. It looked ok but it is really not running right.

Anyway. the 5.03 WU on the G4 seems to be running fine. I changed the run time settings for it last night to 4 hours, and set the system to "remove apps from memory, to bang on it a while. It is at about 90% after 3:58 CPU time. I looked at the graphics last night and it seemed to be fine.

EDIT/UPDATE - The two WU stuck in my task tab finally reported

here is the one that was stuck for 12 hours.
here is the one I aborted manually.

Regards
Phil

The watchdog seems to be more of a junkyard dog. ;) It killed off two of my v5.02 WU's that seemed to be running just fine:

93821
93726

(sorry for the second post, Darned 1 hour edit limit)

Well my MAC G4 reported in this result for the only 5.03 WU I have had.

It looks very normal to me.

I do know the graphics were working (in fact they seemed faster somehow). I had no problems that I am aware of.

Regards
Phil

I had this one: https://ralph.bakerlab.org/workunit.php?wuid=83796

Result: https://ralph.bakerlab.org/result.php?resultid=94327

I looked to the graphic when I saw it running, and it was stuck at about 1% without any movements at all. So I suppose the watchdog did it's job by killing it after some time.

It ran about 80 minutes on my computer. It could have been killed a little sooner, I think, as it was totally dead, when I looked after about 45 minutes. I see the others, who ran it, did it in less time before it was killed.

My next one ran without erroring out, so I don't know if there was any watchdog or it was supposed to run normal.

A new error for me.

This was error no 2 on this WU.

And another one

The system IS supposed to award the claimed credits, for "Watchdog" terminated Work Units. But the ones I have seen so far have always had some model information reported back. Yours seems to have a 161 error implying that something file related is in play. Rhiju will have to explain why it did not get awarded.

As you may recall in RALPH the credit will not be awarded after the fact, but we still need to know why it did not get awarded in the first place before this deploys to Rosetta.

HM, if you are looking for results, that have been "killed" by the watchdog and did not get credits, look at:

https://ralph.bakerlab.org/results.php?userid=581

There you can see several results, that have not been credited.

Supporting BOINC, a great concept !

Thanks for the post; moderator 9 is right about what happened.
Sorry about the annoying file transfer error -- I've fixed it. We will be testing it on ralph 5.04 later today.

GREAT! I actually forced an infinite loop in that one. Very glad it
was killed by the watchdog.

I had this one: https://ralph.bakerlab.org/workunit.php?wuid=83796

Result: https://ralph.bakerlab.org/result.php?resultid=94327

I looked to the graphic when I saw it running, and it was stuck at about 1% without any movements at all. So I suppose the watchdog did it's job by killing it after some time.

It ran about 80 minutes on my computer. It could have been killed a little sooner, I think, as it was totally dead, when I looked after about 45 minutes. I see the others, who ran it, did it in less time before it was killed.
