I started 2 new separation runs today:

ps_separation_09_2s_sample_1
ps_separation_10_2s_sample_1

Post here or in the Number Crunching Message Board if you notice anything strange about them!

Hi!

As I understood, feedback on those new separation WUs would be appreciated.

I'm running those in question, since they were released few days ago. Nothing unusual, EXCEPT:

The percentage of WUs, that are not almost instantly VALID as soon computation is complete, went up for 100% or 200% (very rough guess and still represents 5 - 10% of ALL WUs being done). No difference between ..._09_... or ..._10_... separation WUs.

Anyway, this INCONCLUSIVE VALIDATION does not end in ERROR in ANY of the WUs.

The other thing I noticed (in comparison to previous GPU WUs) is VERY LOW CPU time utilisation (ONLY from 4 to 7s in average)

So, not much to report, but anyway...

Denis

P.S.
I'm running the project on GeForce GTX 550 Ti, driver (since it was released): 301.24 BETA

All running OK here on my HD3850 using the 0.82_windows_x86_64__ati14 application and doing 2 WUs at once. No noticeable difference to the previous runs on my system.

About ps_separation_09_2s_sample... I also have a stable work (on GenuineIntel Pentium, CPU 2.80 GHz, Microsoft Windows XP Prof x86 Edition, Service Pack 3, version BOINC 7.0.25). My opinion - has become somewhat less load on the CPU!

I have 12 completed WU that for some reason can not be returned the event log is showing:

05/05/2012 07:58:19 | Milkyway@Home | Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks.
05/05/2012 07:58:19 | Milkyway@Home | Reporting 12 completed tasks, requesting new tasks for CPU
05/05/2012 08:03:28 | Milkyway@Home | Scheduler request failed: Timeout was reached
05/05/2012 08:03:42 | | Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site

Read this thread, there was someone else with a similar problem and he found a solution, maybe it helps you as well.

Dito (with only 1 WU at once). It seems to be few seconds faster per WU then before (from 48x to 47x seconds). Dont know if it has to do with that ^^

I have noticed that all my work units are being treated as 'high priority' although they have 12 days to complete and only take under a minute to complete.

I have a screen shots of the 'properties' showing the above. If you'd like a copy please provide a email address.

That is a bug in the 7.0.25 manager that was fixed in the beta version 7.0.27
