Just curious about the numbers shown on the server for validation.

It shows at the moment just 133 awaiting validation across the whole project.

I have 317 currently awaiting validation on my account page and it is going up.

Also the last validation that happened on my computers was on the 7th of July, so a bit behind.

Just wondering how it works.

And for this project, Linux users very much appreciate your efforts.

Thanks again

981,000+ work units waiting for validation, seems to be a problem somewhere.

My guess would be that as no Linux host had 1 point (all had less than 1 point due to the awarded credit amount), they were not being shown.
When the PERF application came along for Linux that is when they started to appear.

Just a guess but seems logical perhaps?

G'Day Rysiu,

Problem still exists.
It still is the same for me, though some CNODE work is coming through.
PERF work is rarely coming through at all, I have had just 9 work units today with gaps as long as 6 Hours between one WU and getting the next WU.
Constant messages that Not sending Tasks or Project has no work.

I am getting this message for a while now (over 3 hours) on 2 different computers for both CNODE and PERF.
There is currently 770,000+ jobs on the server but they are not being sent out.

"Project has no tasks available", is the full message.

Excellent! Will it be possible to run CNode and PERF simultaneously at some point in Linux? Or is this to be an either/or situation?


Just wondering if this possible, I did ask in another thread as well.

It would be great for the Linux users, as we just don't get many PERF work units unless you really work on it, maybe an appinfo.xml file excluding cnode might get some PERF work units?

I can't get any PERF work units all I get is Cnode, so no points for me just 0.00000333 per WU, so I wont be climbing any Stats lists, but if I could run both that would be great (also more points for Cnode would also be nice).

Dreaming out loud.

I give up doing updates to get PERF work units on my Linux machine. If it managers to down load one, well and good, if not well I will keep getting no points for CNODE work.

I don't mean running a CNODE and when finished running a PERF, I mean running both together.

Can this not be a function? The Linux guys don't get a benefit over the Windows users by running both as CNODE pays next to nothing.

GoofyxGrid can run 4 at a time all memory intensive and they upload and download as separate apps. So it can be done.

With the output help of all the Linux computers your project output would jump, I am sure.

At the moment the slightest hiccup stops PERF from dual running with CNODE and then it wont start again.

Also CNODE take 2,000 or so seconds to run, PERF takes under 4 minutes, many PERF work units can be run whilst one CNODE runs, so it efficient use resources.

Windows still has large gaps between uploading and down loading work to me, often well over 10 minutes.
WU finishes then waits till 5 minute period is up, then uploads WU. Then it just waits and tries every 5 minutes for work, getting "no tasks sent" each time. This can go on for a long time.
I have at the moment that finished at 10:14 (Australian time),
10:17 "no task sent"
10:22 "no task sent"
10:27 "no task sent"
It did not try again at the next 5 minute mark so I am still waiting for a WU

The computer is allowed work when in use so that is not the problem.

Thanks Rysiu, for your hard work and sorry to keep giving you problems

I think I may know why I am not getting tasks, or at least one reason.

With the tasks now so short, less than 5 minutes, they finish inside the backoff period, so when they finish they sit there till the 5 minute mark comes round before getting reported.
In the mean time Boinc Manager has contacted the server inside the backoff period, once when WU finished then when trying to report then again when the 5 minutes from end of WU. All this keeps me from getting more work.

My last Windows WU uploaded over 10 minutes ago and I am still waiting for the next to download, has taken over 3 hours today at one point.

The constant asking for work keeps putting me back in the queue so I don't get any work.

Hitting "update" only makes things worse for me it seems.

At least that is what it appears to be for me.

Thank you for the new application, it runs very fast (PERF app) and explains the sudden jump in peoples totals as more work is done in same time of previous application.

I am currently having a couple of problems though (other than my Win XP issue which I have let go of).

On my Windows computer it seems to take ages to get a work unit after one has uploaded, possibly this is server load related, possibly not. Sometimes nothing is downloaded at all until I hit "update", even then nothing usually gets downloaded.

I get the message
"Requesting new tasks for CPU
Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks.
No tasks sent"

The other is on my Linux computer, it was able to down load a PERF work unit when a CNODE was already running and run both at the same time, uploading finished work and downloading new work for each app.
Worked great till something upset it hours or days later and the PERF wu would stop downloading and only CNODE would keep running. An update would get the PERF work units back again.

This has now stopped and I can only get CNODE work units again, hitting update does not get new PERF work but message "Not requesting tasks: non CPU intensive".

Not sure if it is just me, but thought I would pass information on.

Conan

EDIT: Currently 266,000 PERF work units available but I can't get any.

Ran fine, 1 hour 27 minutes and I got 2 credits for it, over 1,000 times more than my last almost 900 CNODE work units combined points score.

Did you run a test application (links to packed archives in the test topic) available in the forum on Windows XP?


I ran two of them, just not the third one, but as stated in that forum post they kept getting an error.
I can try do a test with the wrapper launch version.

Just tried the R3 version but still can't run it get the following error message

wget_v1.20.3_v1.03_windows_intelx86.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point inet_pton could not be located in the dynamic linked library WS2_32.dll


I downloaded and installed the wget package for Windows but it did not help, get the same error.

It's 1 AM I am going to bed.

inet_pton I found has a lot to do with IP4 and IP6 internet protocols and Windows XP has poor IP6 support from Microsoft.
I did a bit more searching and have found that Windows XP does not support inet_pton.
Microsoft made support available from Windows Vista onwards.

Some more reading and Java SDK 1.5 was supposed to give Win XP support for inet_pton, so I downloaded it and installed it.

Good news inet_pton error went away, bad news it was replaced by another similar error

wget_v1.20.3_v1.03_windows_intelx86.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point EtwGetTraceEnableFlags could not be located in the dynamic linked library ntdll.dll


So some progress but maybe it is just a waste of time due to Win XP's age. A number of projects that have all worked in the past no longer work on XP, so when things get updated to use newer functionality XP drops another step back.

Currently, the form with preferences is not yet implemented on the scheduler side.
It is only web/database.

Let's solve the problems step by step.

PERF application works on other systems? I understand that the problem is on Windows XP? Other problems?


Yes problem is on Win XP, Win 7 machine is going OK.

I have been trying for the last hour or more to get it working but all attempts have failed so have stopped that computer getting any more work.
