1) Message boards : Number crunching : N-body sim processing time issues (Message 70212) Posted 2 Dec 2020 by Mad_Scientist Post: I have some WU units that seem abnormal. Luckily, I was keeping any eye on these tasks that were running, and spotted these fairly early. I don't want to waste my CPU time running these tasks, unless I know that are OK, and that I get the appropriate credit for it. So for the moment I will Suspend these particular tasks an monitor the remaining one in my queue. If I see this happening more frequently, I will have to reluctantly consider abandoning this project. Here is a real WU example (1) Before starting Remaining (estimate): was 00:03:23 After it started Elapsed: 00:12:09 Remaining (estimate): 32d 08:30:28 Application Milkyway@home N-Body Simulation 1.76 (mt) Name de_nbody_07_29_2020_v176_40k__data__5_1603804502_2740847 State Task suspended by user Received 1/12/2020 20:50:42 Report deadline 13/12/2020 20:50:42 Resources 12 CPUs Estimated computation size 28,595 GFLOPs CPU time 00:00:50 CPU time since checkpoint 00:00:13 Elapsed time 00:12:09 Estimated time remaining 32d 08:30:28 Fraction done 0.026% Virtual memory size 13.39 MB Working set size 16.68 MB Directory slots/2 Process ID 10424 Executable milkyway_nbody_1.76_windows_x86_64__mt.exe Here is a real WU example (2) Before starting Remaining (estimate): was 00:03:23 After it started Elapsed: 00:04:53 Remaining (estimate): 13d 00:02:55 Application Milkyway@home N-Body Simulation 1.76 (mt) Name de_nbody_07_29_2020_v176_40k__data__5_1603804502_2637435 State Task suspended by user Received 1/12/2020 20:50:42 Report deadline 13/12/2020 20:50:42 Resources 12 CPUs Estimated computation size 28,595 GFLOPs CPU time 00:26:42 CPU time since checkpoint 00:00:01 Elapsed time 00:04:53 Estimated time remaining 13d 00:02:55 Fraction done 0.026% Virtual memory size 13.43 MB Working set size 16.73 MB Directory slots/1 Process ID 16876 Progress rate -3961.080% per hour Executable milkyway_nbody_1.76_windows_x86_64__mt.exe
