Topic 231462

I've had this problem before with BRP4 tasks not being sent to me by the server. Server status shows there are enough tasks to send: https://einsteinathome.org/server_status.php

Last night and this morning I wasn't receiving any tasks. Late this morning I removed and reinstalled the project. Then I got 3 tasks come in. I don't know why this happens.

Your other projects had

Your other projects had priority over Einstein probably.  Boinc tries to balance the credit among all your projects all the time.

You could have used a Event Log toggle option to get more information from Boinc why it decided the client didn't need any BRP4 taks.

Use the sched_op_debug flag along with a short interval of the work_fetch_debug option which would have printed out the reasons why the client wasn't asking for BRP4 work.

Thank you. I've only had

Thank you.
I've only had Einstein running for several months now. Only other project is LHC six track, which of course rarely has any work.

Try upgrading your Boinc version as you are using "ver BOINC client version:7.9.3" and newer versions are much better.

This is the key reason why

This is the key reason why you couldn't get work.  As I suspected, you other project LHC had priority over Einstein.

Wed 04 Sep 2024 02:30:58 PM PDT | Einstein@Home | [work_fetch] REC 13.468 prio -2.335 can request work

Notice the priority is negative.  You have a credit deficit to LHC so Einstein does not have priority for getting work.

You either have to reset the amount of work requested so not to overwhelm the round-robin simulation scheduler or just let LHC build up some credit to pay back the deficit to Einstein.

Also you should change this variable in cc_config which averages the credit debts among projects from the default 10 days to just a single day.  After changing the value, re-read the config files in the Manager menus.

<rec_half_life_days>10.000000</rec_half_life_days> to <rec_half_life_days>1.000000</rec_half_life_days>

This will speed up the credit debt payments among your projects and only average over a single day capturing your most recent RAC averages.

This needs to be done with the client now that most projects do not use CreditNew credit algorithm and simply use static credit payment for each task at their project.  The default value only worked well when every project back in the beginning of Boinc used the CreditNew algorithm so all projects awarded the same amount of credits for all the different task types.  The issue was further compounded when gpus came into play which completely busted CreditNew algorithm which can't ever handle gpus properly.

Thank you

Thank you both.

 

@Keith- You did write that this needs to be done from the client but I’m sorry I don’t know how to do that. In my boinc manager, Options->Read config files has no result. Would simply removing the LHC project from the boinc manager resolve this issue?

Removed LHC. No

Removed LHC. No change,

Removed BOINC and installed latest version from BOINC website. Now I have 1 task running although I set storage for 4 days worth.

It is counter-productive to

It is counter-productive to use such high values of cache in today's Boinc ecology.  Use of the default values from the beginnings of Boinc are not compatible with today's projects and network communications.

Best practice for Einstein is to use a very low value of cache.  0.01- 0.02 days of initial cache and 0 days of additional cache.  Those values won't have the host overcommitted to any one project and the host will reliably follow the share percentage settings you have established at your projects.

The client will not run out of work at Einstein.  There is always work available as Einstein historically has been the most stable project since the demise of Seti.  The client will ask for new work every 60 seconds.  You won't have too many tasks on any one project preventing getting work from other projects because of a credit debt or having projects dominate your host with tasks run in EDF mode because the host believes the amount of work onboard can't be finished in time before deadlines expire.

The cc_config.xml file is located in the /etc/boinc-client directory in Linux hosts.  You can use nano editor to make the changes in the file to reduce the <rec_half_life_days>10.000000</rec_half_life_days> parameter and save the file.  Then re-read config files in the Manager.

Thanks. I keep 4 days

Thanks.

I keep 4 days storage since this machine is kept offline some times for days at a time. I don't do more than that to ensure I always complete tasks well before deadlines and the results are returned well before then.

Also appreciate you pointing to the location of the file. I changed the "cc_config.xml" from <rec_half_life_days>10.000000</rec_half_life_days> to <rec_half_life_days>1.000000</rec_half_life_days>. I then used Options -> Read config files in the boinc manager. I still have only one task running.

You only have two cores on

You only have two cores on that cpu.  Check your cpu_usage level in your global or local preferences.  Should be set to 90-100% usage to use all your cores. By default, the global preference for cpu usage is only 50% of cpu cores.  IOW, only the single core in use is correct for that setting.

You can set that in the Manager under Options>>Computing preferences.

Also, since you reset Boinc, by default when Boinc is first launched and attached to a new project as a new host, the scheduler will only send ONE work unit until the host has returned and validated the initial trial task and the scheduler considers the host as reliable.

Then after the first WU is returned and validated, the scheduler will send you TWO new WU's, and will keep doubling the amount of work sent after each successful WU return and validated up until the cache level set in preferences is reached.

Thanks. I'll wait then to see

Thanks. I'll wait then to see what happens after the first one is sent back. I didn't reset though - I only removed an older client version and installed the latest version.

The preferences are set to use 100% of CPU, I've always had them like that. Perhaps the system is wondering why such an old machine like mine is still contributing, LOL.
