Message 62395 - Posted: 24 Sep 2014, 18:00:27 UTC

Hey all,

I put out a new version of Nbody, version 1.44. This should fix some library issues people were having. If any issues arise, let me know.

This appears to be an issue with that specific work unit. RHO_MAX = 3000 is absurd. If it's just an isolated instance, I wouldn't worry.

This succeeded. I see some checkpointing issues, but nothing critical. Am I missing something?

There are some serious bugs in this task: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?userid=57700

Only 2 users have completed this task successfully and their validation was inconclusive. 3 have had errors while computing and the task was terminated.
1 user (me) has aborted the task after 1,007,779.00 seconds
Another user got the tasks new.

The 3 with computation errors are using Linux with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5410, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5504
I use Win8.1 64 Pro with AMD FX(tm)-6350 Six-Core Processor (this task hogged all 6 of my CPU's)

The two with success have:Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz (Linux machine) and Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU (Win 7 64 pro SP1)

The new person is using: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M CPU with Win 7 64 pro SP1

I have been busy all week so I did not have time to look more closely at the logs for my system. But today I aborted it (all I seem to do is abort tasks from you guys) because it got caught up in the Exit 0 (What is this????) loop and kept restarting.

Maybe you guys should add some code that checks for Exit 0 errors and if the tasks gets more than 3 or 5 it forces Boincmgr to terminate the task.

I only have a single task at the moment de_nbody_08_05_orphan_sim_2_ etc etc
It has been running for 28+ hours and has over 448 hours estimated remaining.
Is this the new normal??

This is normal. N-body simulations are proving very difficult to estimate completion times for. Apologies. It should not actually take that long (probably no more than 15 hours).

Hi Jake. Thanks.
In addition to the extraordinary length of time being estimated, my other "concern" is that I have no other tasks being queued. Maybe this is a function of the time estimate (?)

There is no maybe about it. I always abort n-body WUs that take longer than 24 hours.

Yes. This is absolutely true. If I recall, the algorithm that did this was changed recently, and we had to significantly revise this calculation. The issue with time estimates in n-body simulations is the the time estimate is potentially dependent on any parameters you use to describe your system, the number of bodies (resolution), and whatever n-body solver you are using. By time, I of course am referring to CPU and not clock time. Actually, this issue has piqued my interest in this topic. I might take another stab at it to see if we can get a better time estimate.

Hi, i just joined mw@home and i'm having issues with these nbody wus. I don't mind that they use all 4 cpus and take a long time but i don't like the amount of "validation inconclusive"s i'm getting for the amount of time i'm spending crunching these wus. And it's not just me; the inconclusive wus are inconclusive on other computers too, not just mine. Some computers can't even run them without errors. These are the culprets:
ps_nbody_09_10_orphan_real_1_1413455402_15397
de_nbody_09_10_orphan_real_1_1413455402_19277
ps_nbody_09_10_orphan_real_2_1413455402_17734
de_nbody_08_05_orphan_sim_0_1413455402_1910
de_83_DR8_rev_8_4_00001_1413455402_1542781
de_nbody_08_05_orphan_sim_0_1413455402_14328

I guess one of those isn't an nbody but it inconclusive for me and another computer also.
I was going to stop crunching these nbody wus but i thought i'd post here first and see what you guys had to say about it. Will i get credit for these sometime or will they stay inconclusive? How many computers have to successfully run the wu before a consensus is reached (or is it not like that)?


LOL. I just went back to my "validation inconclusive" page and noticed one was missing since i made the above list. ps_nbody_09_10_orphan_real_1_1413455402_15397
that wu must have been validated while i was typing. So i guess i answered my own questions; yes, i will get credit and it take 3 successful runs to reach a consensus. LOL
(instead of erasing this post i'll leave it in case someone else has the same issue/questions i had)

Hi,
Still getting a problem where the task starts as ~6 hours of processing and then over time increases to 30, 50 and up to 90 hours of processing Remaining.

I have had to kill several tasks that have been running for days with less than 10% complete.

The % is moving slowly, but it's moving. The WU is eating avg 600/650 % CPU on the mac (out of 800% max, Mac OS X measures 100% per core), so it's working.

So the calculation estimate is more than another day, it will be over 2 days of calculation if it terminates based on this estimate.

Is this OK ? should I let it run ?

2 days is absurd and you shouldn't need this long to compute any of these simulations running on 6 cores. I would recommend aborting if it looks like it is going to take this long.
