There needs to be seperate server status for each different set of WUs being released and in play at the same time.

I've noticed that and will try to fix it today. That is why there has been more failures. A compiler setting must have been changed. sorry about that.


Still errors immediately on W2K.

It happens.

I'm watching three run on WXP now.......they look normal so far.

1.08 won't run on my Windows W2K.....AMD or Intel, doesn't matter.

Is anyone getting good results with W2K?

Yes, Linux is paying more. Here are some small samples (five WUs) from my test machines. I think they are all "minis", I didn't double-check.

Intel E4500, 32-bit Windows, gets 21.97% less than claimed
Intel E4500, 32-bit Linux, gets 22.16% more than claimed
Intel E4500, 64-bit Windows, gets 29.70% less than claimed
Intel E4500, 64-bit Linux, gets 6.60% less than claimed

AMD 4400+, 32-bit Windows, gets 24.33% less than claimed
AMD 4400+, 32-bit Linux, gets 27.37% more than claimed
AMD 4400+, 64-bit Windows, gets 40.46% less than claimed
AMD 4400+, 64-bit Linux, gets 18.55% more than claimed

I've asked for more numbers from the database, but haven't received numbers or a response to my request yet.

edit: just noticed I did receive a PM about my response.

I put "Failures last 24h" on ralph. It can be client errors, invalid results, unsent results etc, i.e. everything else with a complete status. I am hesitant to add this to R@h. I'd rather point out the positive than negative for the good of the project. I wonder what other users think.


That works for me........it's the 95% you said you were getting....now I believe it.

@dekim

This got no response on Rosetta.

Please show how many WUs were released in the last 24h so we can make the "Successes last 24h" meaningful.

Any thoughts?


Meaningful as in getting the success rate? I'll put that on my list of things to do.


Yes...you already show "Successes last 24h" on server status....just add "Non-Successes last 24h".

Pretty nice having all these WUs to crunch.

Out of work again?? Says there are 6000+ WU queued on the front page, and 10000+ on the server status page. Getting "no work available" messages.

<grump> Can't help if there's no work. </grump>


Are you still not getting WUs?

All the computers I have attached to Ralph are getting work and have warm and happy CPUs.....Intel, AMD, Windows and Linux, 32-bit and 64-bit.

Minirosetta is currently running well on R@h with a 92% success rate but we would like to make it even better.

If you have experienced errors while running minirosetta and would like to help, we ask that you download our application symbols file on windows platforms so that we can get debugging information. Ideally, the windows symstore utilities that Rom Walton added to boinc would take care of this and automatically retrieve the symbols from our site but it doesn't seem to be working as it did before so we are asking for your help.

The file can be retrieved at:

http://ralph.bakerlab.org/download/minirosetta_1.07_windows_intelx86.pdb

Please place it in the ralph@home project directory of your BOINC installation usually located in 'c:/Program Files/BOINC/projects/ralph.bakerlab.org/'

Thanks in advance!

David K


edit: You can also place the symbols (pdb) file in the Rosetta@home project usually located in
'c:/Program Files/BOINC/projects/boinc,balerkab.org_rosetta/'


We can't help much when you don't give us WUs.

I've only had 19 WUs since 5 Feb on 16 cores.

Y'all know how to twist a gal's arm. :-)

I just attached my Fedora 7 host.

It now has one in progress, but it's only been running for a few minutes.

It would be nice if work was marked for a specific OS. It would help the testing out immensely. I'm not sure if there is a way to do it outside HR though. And I don't know how HR would work with a quorum of 1.


If they had to go to quorum of 2, it would still benefit the project to be able to direct to Linux.

I put another Linux box on this morning and get nada.



Big problem with quorum of two is that people can set their own run time. So a 2 hour unit won't validate against a 4 hour one.


I did not know that........interesting in trying to think of all the permutations.

Maybe they can make two projects (like Malaria and others), where users opt in or out. Linux could be one project, Windows another, etc.

The randomness of the work generation is partly the problem as well as the lower number of Linux machines.
I have had 3 Linux computers attached 24/7 but only get a random WU now and then.
The last time one of them got a WU was on the 20/12/07, yet it tries every day.
It would appear that the Windows machines are requesting the work faster than Linux hence we don't get the work.

As for Windows I have one of those and it has 1 WU since the 18/12/07.

I am trying to grab the work before those marauding Windows machines do but I am just outnumbered.

I did pick up the problem that was eventually fixed (and reported it), but the project did not react to just the one report as they needed more proof it was a wider issue.

If I had more money then I could add more computers.


I had more Linux computers trying to get work and decided it was pointless.

The project needs to use homogenous redundancy or some other method of assigning WUs specifically to Linux or whatever OS they are working with at the moment.

I believe that WUs are created without any specific designation as to platform. In fact I'm pretty sure I've seen WUs where 1st person was Windows and second was Linux or Mac. So it is just a matter of who the task gets assigned to.


Ahhh, no HR.......guess that makes it hard for Linux puters to get Linux WUs.


...umm, actually... that's the only type that a Linux puter could get. Just means they would have to burn through a lot of Windows task requests to land lots of Linux requests. Everyone has that random chance of requesting work when it is available... Linux is just outnumbered.


I obviously don't understand the process of generating WUs. If they say they "need" more Linux WUs processed, then doesn't it stand to reason they need to generate more Linux WUs. Why is that linked to Windows WUs?
