Hey All, I just released a new version of nbody, v1.74. This is a minor release which is backward compatible. Please let me know if there are any issues. Thanks again, Sidd |

There appears to be an error in the generation of the work units associated with this release. We are working on fixing that currently I will post updates here. Cheers, Jeff |

Looks like everything is all fixed. Give us an update if you see any issues throughout the next day or two. Thank you for your patience, Jake |

I'm having nothing but trouble with V1.74 I get one the is fine, finishes in 35 mins the next one that's running 12 cpu cores and takes 36hrs. Been happening now for the past week or so. |

I get one the is fine, finishes in 35 mins the next one that's running 12 cpu cores and takes 36hrs. Very different run times are normal for n-Body, just don't abort them and eventually decrease your cache size since you have some "Not started by deadline - canceled" WUs. You have an average turnaround time of over 7 days, for some of the applications even almost 10 days, that's way to high for Milkyway. |

I just started using N-body work units again after a few years. A work unit that originally said it would complete in 18 hours on a 2-CPU system (50% of 4 CPUs) has taken almost three days so far and is about half finished (Host name: DESKTOP-QKT2DLD has BOINC Versiom 7.14.2). I suspect at least one or both CPU threads are stalled maybe waiting for a join based on very low CPU usage. I just turned off N-body apps in Milkyway Preferences temporarily because one system is a laptop and I prefer shorter work units. That laptop only allows one CPU (25% or 4 CPUs) so I was not expecting it to get N-body work units assigned! If I can help, please send me a private note. I am familiar with parallel processing and native code app performance analysis, so I am curious what is happening. Michael E. |
