on multiple pc's and multiple OS's every singe n-body task has failed within a few seconds anyone have any ideas why?

I looked at good results and errored results. Very sparse stderr.txt output.

I would hazard a guess that the new tasks for N-body after the project came back are formatted incorrectly since the error points to an incorrect or missing function call.

I looked at a random sample of results marked as Error from a handful of your machines: every one had the same reported error:

Argument parsing error: --nthreads>2: unknown option

Note the greater-than sign, which should be an equals sign...

Quick fix in app_config.xml? :-)

Hope that clears things up!

Thanks I will fix that right now!!

Nope more than that I will start over with the app_config file, I think Link has posted some good ones in the past, mine obviously doesn't work

Okay I found another copy of one that's working for me:


<app_config>

<app_version>
<app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name>
<max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
<plan_class>mt</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>2</avg_ncpus>
<cmdline>--nthreads 2</cmdline>
</app_version>
</app_config>

The 1st task has completed almost 5% in about 15 minutes on a Ryzen7 4800U laptop running just the single task.

mikey,

Glad you got it working. I just noticed that I'd suggested an equals-sign, where (of course) it should've been a space! Sorry about that, and glad it didn't bite!

Cheers - Al.

P.S. Late reply because of constant outages of MW web site...

No problem, you did point me in the right direction to getting it fixed so it really did help anyway!!
