It has been noted that they have a high failure rate. My looking at the work units suggests failure rate is higher on AMD than Intel but there seem to be some running well past an hour on both. Will wait and see if Sihan comes up with any reason for the high failure rate.

Twelve workunits without any problems so far on an Intel-cpu.

That's one thing we could have done without, an unscientific opinion like that is going to get all the fanbois all sturred up and start flame wars.

fanbois?

Surely the ones that would get upset over this are all on super quiet fanless liquid cooling?

(I have used both so can get upset on either account :) )

an unscientific opinion

I said that first about AMDs, and it's NOT an opinion, it's an observation, based on the 2 failures that I received a few hours ago.

Since then, more people have posted, and there's lots of Intels as well now.

Whatever the reason, a failure is a failure, and will gather no credit.

Your statement doesn't make any sense at all to me, you said what first? You had 2 failures on your computers? I'm sorry I don't understand. To me, these failures don't seem hardware related at all and I'll try to do better with using the correct terminology next time.

Just about all the wah2 tasks issued between 1-4 Aug failed - about 100 of them. Ones since then seem to be OK. Computer 1415561 (Ignore the abandoned ones - that's another thing.)

I started getting those this morning when I started getting work units. Going to try the settings mentioned above.

I changed the settings as recommended above. This cut the number of active tasks in half and the error message went away.

If they are batch 744 everyone is getting the run time errors. The whole batch appears to be bad. See “new Work” thread.

I just got a work unit:

https://www.cpdn.org/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=11667216

It has used 11 hours 27 minutes of CPU time so far since it started. 334 hours predicted for it to finish.

You can see that two others attempted this work unit, used up a lot of machine time, and then failed. But notice that the reported run time is fantastically longer than the CPU time. I do not know what run time measures; wall-clock time perhaps?

Those work units that I do get (very very few since I run Linux) seem to all be of this type: failures. And they usually complete just fine on my machine, an Dell T7600 with a 4-core 64-bit Xeon processor, 8 GBytes RAM, running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.10 (Santiago). It makes me wonder of the other users run on unreliable hardware, or unreliable software. My machines usually run 24/7 except when I reboot after installing a new kernel.

I think a lot of people use laptops, and they are constantly shutting them down or allowing them to go into sleep mode.
That kills the CPDN work units after too many times. The project should really ban machines that fail too often.

That model is what the researchers are looking for: one whose starting parameters eventually lead to an unrealistic physics.
So now they know.

Which is what the error message: ATM_DYN : INVALID THETA DETECTED. means.
I think that the first part is an abbreviation of: Atmospheric Dynamics.

So you'll probably also get that error, which will be "proof of the pudding".

In this case, you are probably right. On the other hand, many of the work units I have gotten in the last year or so (not a lot of them) also failed for one or two other users, and completed successfully for me.

Some of them died due to missing libraries (usually died very fast). Others died later because of missing trickle files (I think).

In the case of this work unit, do they really need it to fail on three different machines? I will let it run, but ...

Years ago, a test was run with the same starting values on different computers.
It showed that there were slight differences between the results, enough to make some of the tests appear to have different starting values.

And this IS research. Perhaps your computer is just slightly different in a way that will mean that it WON'T fail.

I know that I have successfully completed a number of _2 WU’s that had failed on 2 other machines.

Well, it has just sent a trickle.

And unless this has been fixed (not likely), it will be the only trickle.

Work unit has used 31 hours 43 minutes so far and predicts 312 hours 19 hours to go.

What I find interesting about this work unit

hadcm3s_st249_190012_120_771_011667216

is the large amount of Run Time required (149,672.31, 138,538.43 seconds) to get 30 to 60 seconds of CPU time. This is on two different machines with different CPUs, both running 64-bit Windows 10. What are they spending that time on without using a CPU?

On my machine with this same work unit, I already have over 56 hours of CPU time, have uploaded a trickle, and still running with 283 hours predicted to go.
