The task you downloaded 20 minutes before your post has completed successfully.

It ran "Data collect version 5 v5.03 (android_arm_pie)" but all of the failed tasks before that ran "android_arm_non_pie", so something must have changed to allow the project to tell that the device has to run the PIE version of the application.

The rename was to allow better identification of the sub-models being run. Some of the recent (and forthcoming) applications include MOSES II (soil) and/or TRIFFID (vegetation) modelling.

The AFR application does cover a wider region than the SAF one did.

WCG released some Outsmart Ebola Together Beta tasks last week which doesn't show up in the application list.

The tasks were added to WCG's generic "Beta Test" application rather than a new "Beta - Outsmart Ebola Together" one because the application name was "beta20". You should see that in your computer activity history.

Down to 345 now so it looks like it's clearing up ...

Now up to 15,909. It looks like the backlog was cleared during yesterday's outage and has been building back up since the return to service.

WUProp tasks are validating but hours for tasks seem to be stuck. It's easiest to track with the pending hours for my CPDN work:

UK Met Office Coupled Model Full Resolution Ocean 297.67 UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Australia New Zealand 98.90 UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Europe 87.83 UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Pacific North West 36.48

Pending hours based on the last validated tasks should be:

UK Met Office Coupled Model Full Resolution Ocean 311.5 UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Australia New Zealand 118.5 UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Europe 0.0 (the running task was completed 14 hours ago with 101 hours run time) UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Pacific North West 50.25

CPDN Beta has a new application:

<name>hadam3p_sas</name> <user_friendly_name>UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P South Asia<user_friendly_name>

The user friendly names for most of the project's applications have also been changed:

  • "UK Met Office HADAM3P Australia New Zealand" -> "UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Australia New Zealand"
  • "UK Met Office HADAM3P European Region" -> "UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Europe"
  • "UK Met Office HADAM3P Pacific North West" -> "UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Pacific North West"
  • "UK Met Office HADAM3P MOSES II" -> "UK Met Office HadAM3P (global only) with MOSES II landsurface scheme"

The stderr output for all of your failed tasks is:

<core_client_version>7.2.42</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> The extended attributes are inconsistent. (0xff) - exit code 255 (0xff) </message> <stderr_txt> </stderr_txt> ]]>

That suggests the problem is related to permissions (only Sebastien could confirm if the application can generate that error for something else). How did you install BOINC and what is your BOINC data directory set to? For example, I'm running BOINC as a service and near the top of the event log I have:

CPDN Beta went off-line on 5th April due to server problems. It came back up on 16th but the server was rebuilt with a very old backup and is sending out FAMOUS tasks generated from 4 year old workunits.

I have "Run test applications" selected for MC and the project is mostly sending my computers work for the openMalaria test application at the moment. One of them has picked up a few Branch B tasks recently and they're definitely being recorded here according to the computer's activity over the past couple of days:

malariacontrol.net openMalaria: A simulator of malaria epidemology and control (Branch B) 7.55 (4.06%)

I got that by going to the Your computers page, clicking the "Activity" link for the appropriate computer and selecting "From" and "To" to generate a report for the last 2 days (a computer's activity is only viewable by its owner).

The "granted credit 7.00" is only on the workunit pages because that's the fixed credit for a successfully validated task which ran for 3 hours. zombie67's tasks are being marked as invalid and getting no credit.

When a task runs for longer than 3 hours (as some of mine do due to a timed network disable) they are initially granted 7.00 but after successful validation the credit is increased (e.g. 21.78 for a task which ran for 9:20:10).

Edit: zombie67's latest task was successfully validated but was still granted no credit, so it's not just because the tasks are being marked as invalid. I wonder if it's a wider problem with v3.50 tasks or if it's happening because there's no CPU type recorded for the computer?

It looks like your computer is being sent work for application version 3.50 instead of 4.08. As it's running BOINC 7.0.27 I'd expect it to be receiving the newer version (my computers are running BOINC 6.12.43 and 7.0.73 and they're only being sent work for v4.08).

I can't comment on why your tasks only received 7 credits reklov, but my laptop (C2D T7300, Vista, BOINC 7.0.73) currently has 2 tasks which ran for longer than 3 hours (due to network suspension) on its list and their credits were scaled up correctly:

  • 32,869.66 seconds run time, 21.31 credits

Did you try to detach the project ?
Which antivirus did you use?

Some AV blocks the application.

After detach same problem.
AV is not the problem. Deaktivated same error.

37) Message boards : Number crunching : Minimum BOINC version for this project (Message 1643)
Posted 17 Sep 2013 by Thyme Lawn
The minimum BOINC version for this project is 6.10.x.
Yesterday, I released an application named "Data Collect version 4 (needs BOINC 7)". This application should enhance multi gpu detection and works only with BOINC 7.
The versions 3 and 4 should have coexist. But, the scheduler failed to distribute WU version 3 to client 6.x and WU. version 4 to client 7.x

So I will amalgamate the two applications in one. This application will adapt the GPU detection depending on the version of the client.

Thanks for the clarification Sebastien.

Test application 4.01 seems to be running with no problems on my 6.12.43 and 7.0.73 systems.

It looks like there was a fairly short period some time (but not immediately) after the wuprop v4.00 application was released when computers running BOINC 6 were being refused work (despite the fact that work was and still is available for v3.52). The work fetch delay requested by the project caused affected systems to be deprived of work for a day unless they were upgraded or the user requested a manual update. I eventually did this on my Q6600 system which is running BOINC 6.12.43 and I'm no longer planning to 'upgrade' it to BOINC 7.

BOINC 6.12.43 doesn't display the "Project requested delay of 86400 seconds" message Curly saw, otherwise I'd probably have tried a manual update before 'upgrading' my laptop (times are UTC+1):

Same here.

According to the applications page BOINC 7 is required to run the version 4.00 application.

I (very reluctantly) upgraded my laptop to BOINC 7 and it downloaded a new task. It's running under the version 3.52 application which was perfectly happy with BOINC 6, so I don't see why we had to be deprived of work for over 9 hours.

I can't upgrade my other system at the moment because it would lose too much work.
A WCG CEP2 task is an hour into job #2 and could run for 4 or 5 hours before its next checkpoint.
A QMC cleanmobility.now task last checkpointed 4 hours ago and won't perform its next one for at least 6 hours.

SERVER HAS NO WORK OR NOT SENDING WORK:

Same here, but it only started on the tasks returned 30 minutes ago for me.

The server status page currently shows 102 tasks ready to send, a 1 hour transitioner backlog and 400 workunits in the validation queue. The validation queue has increased by 83 in the last 10 minutes, so there's definitely something wrong at the moment.

The last tasks returned by my computers have status Completed, waiting for validation and the scheduler replies include the line:

<message priority="low">Project has no tasks available</message>

Edit: New tasks were received as I was making the post, computers had no WUProp work for 33 and 34 minutes. The validation queue is now up to 623.
