BRP application v 1.33 feedback thread

Topic 84909
(moderation:
I assume 1.33 is the version which employs file compression in order greatly to reduce the download network traffic. I applaud the attempt to obtain this improvement. While Comcast has stopped posting my bandwidth consumption where I can see it, when last I could look just two GTX460 hosts running BRP were using up about half my allowed monthly traffic.
So I'm happy to report that both of my two CUDA Windows 7 hosts have returned a stock of v1.33 work. Already 4307 has 2/5 validated, and 4306 other has 5/13 validated. Execution timings look in line with recent Einstein 1.32 work on the same hosts.
This report is neither a problem nor a bug report, but this board seemed most nearly suitable.

I have 1.33 running on one host so far. So far 9 tasks have completed and 3 tasks have validated. The other 6 are pending validation.
The file size reduction is very significant from 2MB to 475K per file. Thank you.
Hi! Yup, 1.33 is a new

Hi!
Yup, 1.33 is a new version which is testing compression of the input files, plus it uses a newer version of the BOINC API code, which is recommended for the next generation of BOINC clients.
Unfortunately this new BOINC API version introduced a bug that broke all but the OSX versions of the OpenCL BRP app versions :-(.
There is also a problem with the Linux 32 bit CPU app version (doesn't link zlib statically).
We plan to publish a new, corrected suite of BRP4 apps on Albert for testing next week.

Looks good so far, returning to Einstein.

I realise this is rather late
)
I realise this is rather late feedback, but I've only just (re-)attached.
I got a bunch of errors - CPU app.
The error is simple - out of mem.
The host only has 3 GB and it was rather strained trying to run BOINC with Einstein/Albert and memory heavy Rosetta tasks AND a memory heavy game. Having LAIM in effect suspending boinc would free the CPUs but not the memory.
So, when BRP tried to start up there wasn't enough memory to be had [no idea if making my pagefile larger would help] and a whole bunch of tasks bit the bullet.
The error made it into stderr, so the app did notice that there was not enough memory. Since that very often is a transient condition, resulting from the user doing something memory heavy, it would be nice if the app could invoke 'temporary exit' instead of hard exits. That way boinc will try to start the task again at a later time, hopefully with more free mem, and the task will be able to run, instead of producing a cacheful of errors.

Not sure if this a SCHEDULER
)
Not sure if this a SCHEDULER Problem or a lack of available wing man for this type of work:
Workunit# 594225
on 20 May 2014 | 15:06:40 UTC my PC returnd the completed task;
on 23 May 2014 | 9:16:23 UTC my wing man Aborted their task;
on 23 May 2014 | 9:16:28 UTC a 3rd task was generated but 2 Days, 5.75 Hours later it has yet to be sent out to another PC for computation.
Same thing has occurred with different date/times for Workunits 594230 and 594236.
Can the project
)
Can the project Administrators/Scientists please look into this problem?
Over 24 Hours has passed since I originally posted and the 3 tasks remain unsent to a 3rd wing man for validation.
RE: Can the project
)
It's not a problem, Einstein/Albert employs a scheduler that will send out tasks to computers that have the right data files, why increase bandwidth utilisation for server and client, when it just has to wait for the right client to come along, and then save on that download, it just may have to wait days or weeks for the right client to come along.
Claggy
RE: RE: Can the project
)
Added to that explanation is that the scheduler will not wait forever, there is a maximum time before the tasks get sent to the next host asking for that type of work. I don't know what that time is set to here and now but over on Einstein it used to be set to 7 days/1 week. That might have been changed since I picked up that info, it's been several years...
