Post: Today in the morning (around 7:00 ETC) an error occurred on one of the servers. The problem has already been fixed. You can reboot tasks if they take too long or there are errors. The new tasks should work well. Can you confirm? :) Not fixed for me! 72 WUs today on 2 machines, all failed, including in the last half hour. Something still isn't right. |

Why not do twice as much work?

Post: Am I missing something here or is perhaps this project missing something? If you look at the extract from my log file below you can hopefully see that this project could get through twice as many work units as it does. As it stands, when it gets a task, it is always immediately followed by a "Project requested delay of 303 seconds". The task itself only takes about 140 seconds from start to completion of the subsequent upload. The result is that it waits about 160 seconds before it reports it as complete and requests another Work Unit. This is despite having "report completed tasks immediately" set in my cc_config.xml file. Is there a way of me overriding this sleep time to something more fitting for my computers? Or is it controlled by the Project? If so, can the projects Admin reduce the delay number to something more in line with the time it takes to do the job? Looking at the delays of the other projects that I currently do work for, the delay appears to be anything from 7 to 90 seconds with your 303 being exceptional. Clearly the smaller the number, the less idle time for your project on all of your crunchers machines. The flip side is that there would be more calls to your servers, so I accept it's a balance. In my case I would suggest that about 150 seconds would ensure fairly constant crunching which would literally allow me to do twice as much work for your project, and would hopefully not cause your servers to go into meltdown. Perhaps there any other way round this?
