Re: Computing for Sustainable Water Problems Thread

Well, that was telling us... all's normal, in that department.

Now please post us a copy of the global_state_override.xml. That tells us the local prefs in effect. In past my system had issue in converting comma decimal to point decimal. Maybe something wonky there. If there is no override file, then your system is running on website prefs and those I could not see as having decimal issues... sit in global_prefs.xml.

Bar uninstalling, deleting all traces of BOINC, then reinstalling, you could run the cache empty, then deleting the 2 client_statexxxxxx.xmls and the global prefs xxxxx.xmls *after* stopping BOINC, then starting BOINC creates new control files. Something is driving the overcaching, and BOINC would learn.

What happens if you set the connect about every and additional buffer to 0.00? Principally, work fetch stops, then only when a core threatens to go idle will a single task be fetched.

And before we forget, if there is a cc_config.xml, post copy of that too.

and here is cc_config.xml

<cc_config>
<log_flags />
- <options>
<client_version_check_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.ph...ent_version_check_url>
<client_download_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.php</client_download_url>
<network_test_url>http://www.ibm.com/</network_test_url>
<start_delay>120</start_delay>
</options>
</cc_config>


I will see what happens regarding running the cache down and setting the buffer to 0.00. It might take a bit, as I don't like aborting the units that are present now.

Re: Computing for Sustainable Water Problems Thread

<work_buf_additional_days>5.000000</work_buf_additional_days>

much larger than 0.5, go to preference and hit clear, this will clear local settings and load settings from web, if a setting is changed via local settings it will NOT change if web settings change

Re: Computing for Sustainable Water Problems Thread

For the moment your total local overriding prefs amount to buffering 5.01 days.

<work_buf_min_days>0.010000</work_buf_min_days>
<work_buf_additional_days>5.000000</work_buf_additional_days>

At 12 cores, that is 1448 hours of work caching. At 5 hours for a CFSW, that's some 290 tasks.

Once local prefs have been entered, it just takes one field to copy all present web prefs to the local prefs, changing anything on the web except for the sciences is ignored. Hit the clear button in local prefs to restore the use of web preferences.

Re: Computing for Sustainable Water Problems Thread

Thanks fredski and SekeRob!
That certainly looks like it.

I never remember setting anything on that page, but I wonder if I opened it and pressed OK at some point when my cache was 5 days, creating the file.

After clearing it, the file is now gone, and I believe the problem should be resolved.

Thanks again!

Re: Computing for Sustainable Water Problems Thread

It's pleasing to see the new faster CFSW application version 6.11 appearing in downloads. I've just processed the first one in 43 minutes on my i5-750. The estimated completion time on the first few downloads was 4 hours, but the more recent ones are 1 hour.
Now to build up the 5 validated results required to return my CFSW processing to zero redundancy.

Re: Computing for Sustainable Water Problems Thread

Just started the first one. The last CFSW 6.05 jobs running have an estimated time of 14 hours, 6.11 now shows 2.25 hours, which is exactly the time the [edit: re-run] Betas took on this machine.
Was even before that speed booster a little worried if i can meet my 2 year goal for this project, hopefully CFSW is 'sustainable' enough for me ;)
Anyways, good work, Techs.

Re: Computing for Sustainable Water Problems Thread

Pushed a bulk of 5 jobs ahead of the queue to become a reliable zero redundancy host.
3 of those 5 have a wingman reporting this error message, maybe AV?

<core_client_version>6.2.28</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
CreateProcess() failed - A required privilege is not held by the client. (0x522)
</message>
]]>

Those are the tasks, wingman is _1:

Re: Computing for Sustainable Water Problems Thread

Yes, I think your wingman/men have a security software issue. If you had a beta test of this version, then as I understand from Uplinger, the md5sum is the same, just the app name different. Your AV would then be OK with it, at least mine was without protesting for other betas that went to production.

No broken, not stirred, but 6.2.28 is really ready for retirement, whoever still got it. An upgrade from 6.2 to 6.10 is transparent, takes a minute to run and continues where left off, if options are left the same. Changing at the same time from service to user or from user to service... I'd make a data dir backup first and do the upgrade off-line. This allows for testing and copy the data backup in place before allowing server connection again.
