Posted 5574 days ago by Mitchell Ok, whats the trick for getting a second WU? I'm running boinc 6.4.5 under ubuntu 8.10 x64 with the 180.06 video driver. The only way I've found to get another wu is to detach/reattach. Anyone else having this problem? |

Is it now time for grid Credit reevaluation on the Grid?
(Message 1099)
Posted 5817 days ago by Mitchell Greetings all, Just throwing this out there for discussion. I now crunch other boinc 64 bit projects out there, ABC and Riesel Sieve in particular that offer up around 6k per day of credits on a quad Intel Q6600 processor. I, like others get less that 4k per grid WU on this project. It used to be that this project returned alot more credit before in comparison to other projects before these new 64 bit apps showed up and closed, then passed this project. If this cell type of ps3 processing is that much more performant that pc type processing, shouldn\'t the WU credit be reevaluated to adjust for the changing times? Open for discussion... |

inconsistant %complete for hours computed
(Message 1008)
Posted 5869 days ago by Mitchell Greetings all, I consistently have wu\'s that move up to around 90% complete in the span of 3-4 hours, and then take around a total of 25ish to complete the last 10%. This is not to accurate. I know its a guess-timation, but its usually way off. Anyone else noticed this? |

Posted 5893 days ago by Mitchell I have one running now for 40 hours, seems to use only up to 100% of the CPU according to the top utility, and shows 0.0% in the progress bar. I\'ve considered aborting it, but would hate to lose 40 hours of time. |

Posted 5925 days ago by Mitchell I have a ps3 wu running at 45 hours now and its at 86% but shows time running increasing, and time left at over 5 hours and not decreasing. Is this wu dead and should be aborted, or do some wu\'s actually run this long? I\'ve even restarted boinc with the wu\'s still acting the same. I\'d hate to lose all the processing and abort the wu. Any ideas?

Posted 5925 days ago by Mitchell I have a ps3 wu running at 45 hours now and its at 86% but shows time running increasing, and time left at over 5 hours and not decreasing. Is this wu dead and should be aborted, or do some wu\'s actually run this long? I\'ve even restarted boinc with the wu\'s still acting the same. I\'d hate to lose all the processing and abort the wu. Any ideas? Here is a typical top output. I\'ve never see the processes go beyond 100% to near 130% are you said, and actually I have 2 ps3 running processes that have exceeded the time aloted to complete and both are running at over 2 days, show 2-7 hours to complete. I guess I wont get any credit for them anyhow will I, so I should abort them. How does grid project treat wu turned in later? no credit awarded even though I\'ve run them for over 2 days ? Can they look at the wu\'s and tell what wrong with them ? |

(Message 753)
Posted 5940 days ago by Mitchell Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what was going on. I guess its common for ps3grid boinc runs to go for about 30-35 hours then? What kinda of credit return can be expected for such a run? When I watch ps3 grid procs running, it never goes beyond 10% use, how can I force it to use more? My options in boinc already allow for up to 100% usage, it just doesnt use it. |
