Problems with "DEFAULT_*"-results?

[the-mk]

Hi,

just looked into my BoincView and I saw two "DEFAULT_*"-results in my work list.

Running for some hours now and don't have much % done...

Anyone ever seen something like that?

[Marky-UK]

I haven't seen that, but I also don't tend to watch the Result column - never enough room on the screen!

I have had several R@H WUs that have failed after 10-20 seconds in the last 24 hours though, mostly on Intel boxes - not sure if I'd had any fail on the AMD boxes...

Look at this post by David Kim:

I think I may have a few of this but I don't even know where to start looking.

The bad side of having too many puters.

Thanks for that - been monitoring those forums for the "problem" with some WUs and the 4.81 client but didn't see that...my slowest had 2 of them queued...

Btw, does anyone know how to abort a workunit in Linux?

I've tried the BOINC Wiki but am unable to find anything.

Thanks for that, I had 10 of them sitting in various queues.

PY , only way I know how to abort in linux is via boincview. All i did myself here was load it up and then sort by result name, abort all the DEFAULT ones. You really should be using it......

I don't think Boincview will work well in my environment as there are far too many machines to configure.

I think I'll just ride this one out as according to the R@H people, this workunit is actually still valid but because of its size, we are not able to get it done by the dateline set.

We'll see how it pans out.

I tried to get help over in the rose forum http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/fo...hp?id=680#7137
and got noting but back lip and being accused of doing this project just for points by Bill Michael
And in this one http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/fo...hp?id=726#7210 I said I would uninstall there software and wihed them luck
So I will be shuting down ny nodes

Lauren,
Bill isn't part of the project. . he was just granted forum moderator rights because of the time he spends replying to folks. I'm sure he's just a bit flustered because he's trying to help with the fallout from the bad wu's.

As for the bad WU's. . All of these problems are related to a new application they're developing on the back end to allow individual scientsts submit jobs rather than everything going through David Kim (who has put aside his own research to get this going).

The bad wu's don't really hurt anything, unless you're on dial-up. Sure, you're queue might empty out, but Boinc is designed to handle that by getting work from other projects (or in my case, wait for more work from the project since I don't have other projects attached*). If you have one of the WU's that hang, you can abort it, or let it crash itself. . the scientists have said they will grant credit for them when they get back from holiday.

I think this is a great project. . having a few wu's error out isn't a big deal (imo). . The science of this project is to create something that will help scientists better study proteins. . . these bad wu's accomplish the same goal, the fixes will only make the project better. I'm not saying beta testing on a live system is the best way to go. . but the sky isn't falling by any means.

*I'm going to work with them to get their testing procedures in order to try and prevent this from happening again. The going theory is to have a seperate boinc instance that would allow a couple hundred units to be run before going public.

Cheers, and happy holidays everyone.

Thanks Exci,

was just going to post a similar response.

Lauren, give it a little time. At least they are actively responding about fixing most things. I believe the main people involved are on vacation now as it's a university so repleis might be slower. As Exci said, Bill Michaels is just a moderator on the board, nothing else...

Lauren, I've read all the post in the R@H forums and all I want to say is...

PLEASE DON'T GO

Who is going to me on?

Who is going to me when I get low production?

Who is going to when I lose direction?

You.

So, take a break for a while until they settle this and come back in full force next year.

Come on Lauren....don`t let some twerp upset you. I`m sure you`re bigger than that.
I`ve had a lot of erroring out units recently and aborted a couple of default ones. Thought it was the computer or summat. One default unit was running for eighteen hours with very little progress.
Now I`m also getting default 2 units.
AND I`M BLOODY SOBER AND DRUG FREE FROM TODAY
Latest scan says I need a new spine if not a new body.....guess I`ll have to whistle for that one but I`m still first on the list for a full body transplant

HAPPY XMAS everyone I think

Keep on plooping them in for the best team in DC and that`s not the little town in the District of Columbia I`m on about.....
