How do I get my stats?
(Message 2367)
Posted 23 days ago by Jean-David Beyer Post: How much each project is "paying" in points varies wildly across BOINC, with some actually inflating the points values, so others (incl, DENIS) look like a rather meager "payout". But then not everyone is one of those pointw****s... I used to run MilkyWay and Universe. I no longer do. One has work only for GPUs, and the operator of the other died. I do not remember which is which. Don't care either. They both gave out so many points for each work unit, even though those work units went very fast, that it was embarassing to me how many points I got. The five I try to run are all different, and all of them have long dry spells with no work, but at least the credits are not ridiculously large for the amount of work done. |

Maybe if he has new work,Tuesday sometime. I live near New York City, 6 hours behind Spain. Perhaps 5 hours. (Daylight Savings Time issues). It is almost noon here, so Tuesday must be almost finished in Spain by now. There is still no new work available for Denis, and I have run out of work March 29. |

Server is out of work
(Message 2328)
Posted 29 Mar 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: DENIS always (since I added it in October last year) had bursts of several 100,000 of WUs available, which is followed by several days of no new WUs at all, apparently until all outstanding WUs have been returned. Right now early Friday afternoon near New York City, I have 60 work units in progress. My machine has 128 GBytes of RAM and 13 cores available to Boinc. I allow 4 DENIS tasks to run at a time. I have lots of disk space for BOINC: an entire partition of about 450 GBytes. So sometimes I get a little over 100 DENIS tasks sitting on my machine. No point getting more as then some expire before I get to running them. But it does mean that I cannot download enough tasks to last a week. I run ClimatePrediction at highest priority, but have not gotten any work in almost a year now, WCG which is giving me MCM1 work units at the moment, but there are enough gaps that I run out often. DENIS. Rosetta, and Einstein. Even with all these, I often run out of work and get down to running only three tasks instead of all 13 that I can run when I have them. Right now, I have them. |

Posted 28 Mar 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: I don't know how long this has been going on...but I finally had a chance to check my stats in BOINC and saw the line going down, plus in my profile, I have all 0's for tasks. That does not reflect my experience. My experience is that Denis goes up and down so sometimes I have none, and sometimes I have huge number of Denis tasls in my machine. As far as credits are concerned, in the last month the curve for Denis has gone up from 5000 to 5300; a small increase. My WCG has given a consideral increase but with much more variability than Denis. I have received no work at all on my Linux machine since last June for ClimatePrediction. |

(Message 2292)
Posted 13 Mar 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: But due to bad experience at the World Community Grid (which, with their handling of their projects, has probably driven a lot of folks over here in recent months, including me), PLEASE, even if things go bad, which is something that can always happen, try to post some update quickly about what is going on. And if the forum is taken down as well, put it up on your FB site or X. I am one of those who came here from WCG, due to their two-years of downtime. Then pretend to be up, but the only tasks I get are MCM1, and nothing from the other four. And even MCM is down a lot of the time. I also signed up for Universe and MilkyWay. But Universe seems to be going to only the Python stuff and he other only GPU that I do not allow. So I resigned from those two (yesterday). (But for me, even FB is bad as I cannot login. They do not like my password, but when I go through the motions to change the password, they send me a 6-digit access code to prove I am at my e-mail address. but they do not accept the access code they send me. I seem to be banned as there is no way to speak to anyone: no telephone number, no working e-mail address, nothing. None of this is the problem of Denis, though.) |

If the second task is not canceled first, why does the server send me a task, only to cancel it very shortly afterwards, when the second task completes. If this happened only once in a great while, maybe I would not care but 34 in the last few days? |

Why DENIS?
(Message 2148)
Posted 19 Jul 2023 by Jean-David Beyer Post: I already had a stroke and heart attack. But that is not why I run DENIS, since I doubt any results they get will be soon enough to help me. I do it because it may halp others. And since my machine is up almost 24/7/365, it is better, IMAO, than running amical numbers, prime number searches, and stuff like that. I currently run ClimatePrediction, World Community Grid, DENIS, Rosetta, Einstein, and Universe and I let Universe run only if there is nothing else available. |

Invalid tasks
(Message 2138)
Posted 26 Jun 2023 by Jean-David Beyer Post: Noticed that as of this post I have 54 "Invalid" tasks across my various PC's spread over many days of computation. I have about 10 Invalid tasks at the moment. I looked up the work units involved to see if there were others with the same work unit, and how they did. In summary, in each case there were three users (including me) who got each of these work units. Mine was invalid and the other two were successful. As far as I can tell we all got the work unit about the same time, and usually the other two users got theirs slightly earlier than mine.But not always. But since they returned their results first, my job was canceled by the server. I am not sure if the server should have sent me the task at all until one of the others failed or timed out. But they did. |

Low memory usage
(Message 2116)
Posted 18 Jun 2023 by Jean-David Beyer Post: Check the link I give above, you'll have an idea for all existing projects and applications, depending on the OS used. That table seems incomplete and out of date; at least for ClimatePrediction. Here is a brief description of a CPDN program for a weather prodiction class of tasks. I have run quite a bunch of them on Linux with what I assume is testing data, and it used a trifle less RAM than they suggest here. These took less than a day of computer time, but I assume real data would take longer. Technical information: Please ensure 'Leave non-GPU tasks in memory while suspended' is set in Disk/Memory options of boincmgr CPDN app-name: oifs_43r3_bl Run time: ~6 hrs/task on a modern CPU Max memory: ~7Gb Total number of files: 354 files Model output: 16Mb per output step (uncompressed) Total size of uploaded files: 1.5GB Checkpoint filesize: ~800Mb (these are periodically created & deleted in the slot dir and not uploaded) |
