Number crunching :
One host only gets one task at a time for GPU, another gets 65
(Message 3688)
Posted 31 Mar 2024 by Mr P Hucker Post: There's another anomaly I've spotted. The good host mentioned above wasn't asking for a task from Numberfields, even though it has only 1.6 days of Primegrid task left on it's GPU, and it's got a 2 day buffer. However when I go into the projects tab of Boinctasks, I find another time (which I can't see anywhere in the Boinc Manager), of just over 2 days. Looks like there are three ways of working out the time left. The normal way, "fraction done exact" (which you can set in app_config), and this weird one, which it seems is used to decide when to get more work. No wonder I always get 2 weeks of Primegrid instead of 2 days. Boinc is an absolute mess. If I complain, they blame the projects for using old or modified server software. |

Posted 31 Mar 2024 by Mr P Hucker Post: The single task host now has plenty. But I don't understand the formula you quoted, I wasn't limited to 1 a day, I was limited to one at a time. Perhaps every good task returned increased it, so I was now due 2 a day, so one more? |

Posted 30 Mar 2024 by Mr P Hucker Post: Neither has an app config. Both haven't done this project in a long time, but they're not new to it. My first thought was the last time one of the hosts was running it, something happened to get it on the naughty list, limiting it to 1 task at a time. Climate prediction does this if you crash a task. Next task only issued after 1 day, or after you return a correct task. Does this project use naughty lists? |

Posted 27 Mar 2024 by Mr P Hucker Post: Why does this host https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/show_host_detail.php?hostid=2800357 get one at a time, yet this host https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/show_host_detail.php?hostid=2800361 gets 65? No tasks from any other project were in the queues. |
