New BETA Linux Test

With the thread of the other linux test getting a little bit long, I am creating a new thread to announce another linux beta test that will be starting today 6/24/2010. These work units will have a 12 hour time limit. We will be testing the upload server for the large result file as well as a few more changes to the application to help with the error rate.

Thanks,
-Uplinger

Re: New BETA Linux Test

Here's one I haven't seen

6/24/2010 7:51:35 AM World Community Grid Message from server: Beta - The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2 requires 128.00 kbps download bandwidth. Your computer has been measured at 97.45 kbps.

First question to anyone is how to have boinc "retest" itself. It must have gotten this lowly number while other systems were downloading. I've tried update, network communication, restarting the manager, changing prefs, even just restarted the system, but it's holding to that number.

Second, this is on a XP64 machine and I thought this beta was still linux only?

Re: New BETA Linux Test

sounds like there's something wrong with the platform designation. XP machines getting tasks but not Linux machines.

Re: New BETA Linux Test

None of my fedora boxes have fetched any, so I tried a manual update on one and got:

Re: New BETA Linux Test

4 on the quad good for the next 7 hours or more and counting up, each

checkpointing was pretty quick... within 2 minutes.

:D

Re: New BETA Linux Test

Downloaded 2 BETA Linux: However I have opted out of further work due to tight deadlines for dddt2 WU.

Re: New BETA Linux Test

They must be all gone... or the only ones left are for McAppStore machines.
My linux boxes are telling me:


Thu 24 Jun 2010 01:06:56 PM EDT	WCG	Message from server: No work sent
Thu 24 Jun 2010 01:06:56 PM EDT	WCG	Message from server: No work available for the applications you have selected.  Please check your settings on the website.
Thu 24 Jun 2010 01:06:56 PM EDT	WCG	Message from server: (there was work but it was committed to other platforms)

So I switched one of my XP boxes over and it says:


2010-06-24 13:10:33|WCG|Message from server: No work sent
2010-06-24 13:10:33|WCG|Message from server: Beta - The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2 is not available for your type of computer.
2010-06-24 13:10:33|WCG|Message from server: No work available for the applications you have selected.  Please check your settings on the website.

Still, only 1 of them came up short, downloading the 100MB starter file then not getting any for the other 3 cores in a zip file.

Re: New BETA Linux Test

They are not progressing evenly at all.
Even though I selected, then suspended, all other tasks so that all 4 would start at the same time, on one of my quads the WUs are showing

elapsed - progress
1:40:00 - 17.9%
2:59:50 - 17%
3:09:00 - 10.5%
1:32:12 - 10%

Similarly, on a dual core they're showing
2:52:00 - 24%
1:41:00 - 13.2%
even though both started at the same moment.

edit1:
Had to climb some stairs to get to this dual-core, but its elapsed for both WUs is identical down to the second (3:20:00), and the progress matches within 0.4% (~24%)... one is a C11 and the other is a C12.
