The boinc-process host is down again, so no Validation for work being returned at this time.

The boinc-process host is down again, so no Validation for work being returned at this time.

Sometimes the server page doesn't report accurately, so when I see some parts of boinc-process are running (some assimilators) I'm not sure what to think.
Rosetta_beta and Rosetta_python validators were showing as running for a while, even when other parts weren't, but have now switched to not running again.
Whatever's really happening, it all comes across as very flaky <sigh>

Well, no new task during the day, nothing validated, still all assimilator/vaildators not running... :(

The boinc-process host is back up again, although we now have a error message on the main page in the Server Status section
Notice: Undefined variable: stats in /projects/boinc/rosetta/html/user/index.php on line 81

Another 600k or so Tasks just released.

Hopefully things will stay up for a while.

I arrived at my PC that crashed every task it grabbed from the last batch, like yours did, last night and saw boinc-process was back an hour or two before you posted.
It'd been back for some while already, going by how much the validation backlog had reduced.
Now that tasks are available, let's see if it handles this new batch any better.

I'm currently on another PC that crashed last Monday and missed the last batch altogether, but is rushing through its last few WCG tasks that are right up against their deadline, so I won't find out how this one goes until I get home tonight. Fingers crossed on them all.

Server Status is showing all green, but a backlog is developing with the Assimilators.

Both running fine and running all tasks to completion.
Not sure what the previous blip was about

Trying to get attention that the Stat's export for RALPH has not been updated in over 42 days and that the Posting on the RALPH Message Board is getting no attention.

After years on Ralph, i think it's a lost cause...
I write, sometimes, in their forums, but i have not a lot of hope

(not that the Rosetta forums are much better)

Somehow grabbed 16 rb tasks this morning to fill my cache
Just checked how many tasks were issued and it appears to be next to none - seems I was just lucky with the odd few
Then I saw boinc-process is down again - not so lucky after all <sigh>

A glitch is back on the main page

Just under the Server Status heading.

Glitch fixed, and lo and behold- new work!


And an interesting batch it is- It's Beta 6.06 work, but they're using 1.4 to 1.7GB of RAM each, and it looks like their target Runtime is 8 hours (unlike the usual 200-400MB of RAM and 3 hrs runtime of previous Beta Tasks.

Ouch! At first glance this beta does not seem to play well with my processors. I had two of them go slightly insane, so to speak, btw the only two to download the beta. Both the computers are running openSUSE Leap 15.6, the first (an old AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X) jumped up to 99 active users and started swapping like mad (32Gb of memory). I had to hit the power button to get to where I could suspend boinc. The second (a newer AMD Ryzen 9 7950X) only jumped up to 64 users before I suspended boinc.
I'm heading out of town for a couple of days so all the machines aren't getting any Rosetta until I get back and can watch them.

I polled 2hrs before your msg and got nothing, then not again until 3hrs ago - and only just noticed. Argh
Not many left to grab now either - a small batch.

On runtime, I've said before I use a 12hr runtime, but didn't mention that the last batch of 16 I sneaked a few days ago only ran 8hrs too.
Not sure if that's a coincidence as my 12hr setting usually overrides the default set to the individual tasks.

Anyway, work is work. I'll take whatever I can get.

So that explains why WUs are failing on one of my computers. 20 threads and only 16GB of RAM and fairly small paging file. They could have warned us...

It's been the general rule of thumb since i've been here (a bit over 4 years)- 1.5GB of RAM per core/thread is needed in order to do Rosetta work.
It's only been recently with the Beta application that Tasks have used less (there were batches of Rosetta 4.20 work that have Tasks that used 2- 4GB each).


Edit-
Interestingly- on one system all running tasks are using up to 1.6GB of RAM, on the other only 2 are using more than 1GB of RAM, the rest 400-700MB.

128GB of RAM on a 16 core/thread system leaves plenty of RAM available for the system even when all cores/threads are doing Rosetta work.

Argh. I just ( after writing a reply) realized what happened. NumberFields uses OpenCL for multiprecision arithmetic and OCL compiler will during compilation use up lots of RAM (sharp increase to few GBs, after it it will return back to fairly small footprint). So I have enough of virtual memory, when it's not being exhausted by another project...
