Posted 6 May 2007 by Odysseus Post: My first two tasks each took about four hours (on a Mac G4/733) and claimed between 12 and 13 credits. The first one, which was terminated by “Watchdogâ€, was granted 80 CS, but the second, which completed normally AFAICT, was granted less than 5. It certainly seems inconsistent—especially with no ‘quorum partners’ involved. |

Posted 6 May 2007 by Odysseus Post: In the output from my first successful result, from version 5.63, SEARCH_PAIRINGS_-1dhn_-round2_1976_120 I see: Rosetta score is stuck or going too long. Watchdog is ending the run! CPU time: 14813 seconds. Greater than 4X preferred time: 3600 seconds Does this mean I should increase my preferred run-length? (At the moment I’ve left the project preferences at their default settings.) BOINC’s initial to-completion estimate was something like 24 hours. Are these messages fairly common here, or might this be indicative of a problem? |

Posted 5 May 2007 by Odysseus Post: Hello, everyone! I seem to have been recruited into my first alpha project (the first that identifies itself as such, at least). I regret that my first posting here has to be negative. Well, mixed … After getting “No work from project†messages for a few hours after attaching, my G4/400 running BOINC v5.4.9 under Mac OS 10.3.9 received its first WU, 2tif__DIVERSE_ABRELAX__NEWRELAXFLAGS_BCFROMFRAGS20_SAVE_ALL_OUT_frags83__1986_4. It got a “Compute error†in less than twenty seconds: <message> process exited with code 1 (0x1) </message> <stderr_txt> Rosetta@home Macintosh Stack Size checker. Original size: 0. Maximum size: 8388608. RLIM_INFINITY 0 # cpu_run_time_pref: 3600 ERROR:: Unable to determine sequence length from pdb file # random seed: 2680619 ERROR:: Exit from: pose.cc line: 1929 </stderr_txt> The other two hosts that crunched it, both Windows/AMD, also had errors. On the brighter side, the next WU I received seems to be doing OK. It began with an estimate of around 25 hours and kicked my host into “panic modeâ€, but got most of the way through the task in just a couple of hours. Then it seemed to slow down; when I left the shop it was somewhat over 90% done, having found a configuration that vaguely resembled the ‘template’, but still showing about 13 hours to go. When I got home, however, I was encouraged to see that the host had downloaded another WU, indicating that BOINC thinks the current one is almost done. Awesome graphics, BTW. :) P.S. Re checkpoints: I forgot to mention that my Mac crashed while running this task (@#$%! Acrobat!) but when I rebooted it resumed very near where it had been when interrupted. |
