New apps Einstein@Home w/o "Tuning"

(Hi >1Gb RAM, Lo 145Mb)

Continuous Gravitational Wave search Galactic Center highFreq
Continuous Gravitational Wave search Galactic Center lowFreq

Announcement

After performing the last "tuning", today we started the new search for Continuous Gravitational Waves from the Galactic Center ("O1Spot1"). The first workunits were generated and the first tasks are being sent. As we already did in the "tuning" run, the work is split into a "high" and a "low" frequency part, the former being processed by the rather fast (CPU) hosts, the latter by the slower ones. This search is set up to run for a couple of months.

Has anyone gotten hours for these yet? My WUProp task is about 3 hours in but some of these have been running for 8 hours so I should have some. :(

So the end of Bitcoin Utopia is finally here.

I don't see them coming back. It was fun while it lasted.

Not yet...and I should already have some as well...

You won't get any Hr's for them until Sebastien Posts that the App is out, even then you may have to start over again if it isn't retroactive which seems to happen a lot lately ...

I paused my work until that post comes up in the sticky. I did get one of the tuning tasks. Maybe a resend or something.

Interestingly, I enabled this on one machine (dual hexcore 3GHz xeons ) which previously only got the high freq units, now it pulled down low freq ones.

At least for the tuning tasks the frequency requirement was removed/adjusted as they were not being completed as fast as the Hi freq tasks.

*delete*.

Amicable Numbers is going to introduce two new apps: one for selective double-checking of current search space, and another one for searching for amicable numbers up to 10^20.

XANSONS for COD is returning at end of next week. It is not clear if they will reuse existing app or add a new one.

Goofy needs to fix the fundamental problems with that project 1st...

Again, it is not being picked up by WUPROP, so I don't know whether to crunch or not...

It should be now that Seb posted in the sticky.

I had grabbed some tasks and paused them just because they wouldn't count yet.

WUProp does not properly capture time for WUs which are processed for 30 secs or less. I ran GPU app for about 6 hours, and WUProp recorded only 0.53 hour. Looks that I have to wait until project will release loner WUs, or find slower GPU.

Hmm interesting. I had setup app_config to run 3x GPUs at once and the mt CPU app on one CPU.

GPU app got 23 hours so far since last night. Seems about right if it can the whole time. Hard to tell since I barely get enough tasks to keep it running.

<app_config>
  <app>
    <name>xansons_gpu</name>
      <gpu_versions>
      <gpu_usage>0.33</gpu_usage>
      <cpu_usage>0.1</cpu_usage>
     </gpu_versions>
  </app>

  <app_version>
	<app_name>xansons_cpu</app_name>
	<plan_class>mt_windows</plan_class>
	<avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus>
  </app_version>
</app_config>

I thought the point of code tags was to keep formatting? I guess a quote will suffice.

Hmm, interesting. My Windows box yesterday was running GPU WUs for few hours, and was keeping small buffer of tasks (about 10) during that time. CPU ones were more scarce, they appeared only from time to time.

I also tried to run this project on another Linux box with GPU, but for some reason it did not get any task.

Thanks for app_config.xml. I will try later today to run multiple tasks on GPU, maybe it will help. I am a bit worried about CPU usage, BoincTasks showed high values (something above 80%), will have to see what will happen with multiple GPU tasks running at the same time.

I have just realized that "Riesel Base - short" WUs from SRBase also are very short, but I managed to get 760 hours for them in the past. I was running them mostly on Linux. Maybe Windows version of WUProp does not count time as precise as Linux one? Strange.

I had 23 hours, now 40. So 17 hours in one WuProp task. I don't think it was running the full 6 hours as the queue wasn't kept full. Running 3x does make the tasks last longer but most are still under 30seconds.

My tasks:
http://xansons4cod.com/xansons4cod/results.php?userid=2128&offset=0&show_names=0&state=4&appid=

I ran GPU app for about 6 hours, and WUProp recorded only 0.53 hour.

Check WUprop error log - "facteur correction: 0.533333 (8/15.100000)"
You have exceeded the number of CPU threads by almost twice.
View configurations for all active tasks
for example XaNSoNS BOINC for GPU - 0.975C + 1NV

<avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus>

This is misleading the BOINC task manager, and at the same time WUprop
The task should be limited to something similar to "<cmdline> --nthreads 1.000000 </cmdline>"

So as not to lose hours and minutes - recalculate the CPU requirements for all tasks (in app_config) so that they do not exceed the actual value by more than 0.99 (8/8.99 = 1.0)

[pre] doesn't work either. These BBcodes need to be enabled by the project.
