41) Message boards : Number crunching : HadSM4 Error when completed and Uploading (Message 65652)
Posted 18 Jul 2022 by Profile Conan
Post:
Yes even though I updated my files all 3 (of 4) SM4 work units have now finished in an error.

So even though all looks good and trickles are reported and I got some credit, something is missing and the it errors out.

Well 1 to go in less than 5 hours and I will be done with a waste of 12 days (each WU ran 4 days) of crunching with no valid results.

I may take another break from the project again unless a few types I have not run yet get work and I will try them.

Thanks all for your help

Just finished a HadSM4 model after 4 and bit days.
As it finished uploading I received a Computation Error, which I thought was strange as it and 3 others had been running fine.

On checking it seems that I was missing a file that I didn't know about

libnsl.so.1

Without this file you get

Unable to load library hadsm4_se_8.02_i686-pc-linux-gnu.so
dlopen error: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I have now updated this file on my Linux install and hope the other 3 work units will now be OK and I won't have 3 more failures (it would be a waste of over 12 days computations equivalent).
They have between 5 and 13 hours to go.

43) Message boards : Number crunching : Late Validation pending (Message 65642)
Posted 17 Jul 2022 by Profile Conan
Post:
I have just realized that I have 2 Work Units on my computers that seem to be waiting for validation.

Work Unit 9811766 was completed on 2nd May 2015.
It is a HadAM3P-HadRM3P Australia New Zealand type.

Work Unit 9097228 was completed on 20th September 2014.
It is of the same type.

If I look in the Task details for both work units it shows them having been credited but not on the main page as they are awaiting "Validation".

Who are they waiting on this long for the work units to be Validated?

Very Curious

Yes, it's the hadam3pm2 I was concerned about. My thought is to let it go on for a while to see if its "slowness" persists. It's possible I'm wrong, or getting excited prematurely; in any case it should be clearer after a few more days.

Actually, I'm really curious to know if anyone else running the model has encountered the same issues--or not.


G'Day jrapdx,

I have noticed the same on my AMD 1090 Phenom, first estimate was for 96 Hours to completion. After running for 8 and 3/4 hours it is now up to 113 Hours to run with just 0.257% completed. That's an estimate of 3,284 Hours run time.
That is getting back to the old days when Climate ran for months to get a WU to complete.
I doubt that it will take this long and that the original 96 Hours is closer to the mark, however going on a previous failed WU it will take over 250 hours.

I have a couple of Fedora 16 64 bit systems. To start my BOINC sessions I would click on the "Files" icon to launch the files system, navigate to the BOINC folder and then start BOINC.
I would leave the "Files" open so I could easily go back to check things in BOINC or the Download folder or other files searches.

I found after doing this for a long time without a computer reboot (such as long running projects that restart from scratch if you start BOINC again), that my systems start to slow down and I start having memory issues.

The "Files" programme starts to use a lot of resources over time.

By closing it down when I am not using it (after I have done my file searches, started BOINC or installed some download), I found that the whole system came back to life and I got my memory back (the computers memory, not mine as that is already lost).

So an innocent programme could be causing you an issue.

Les,

Yes, thanks, I know this, I was responding to a couple of lower down replies as to me the issue did not seem clear.

I am still processing them even with the much lower credits, as I am hoping the science or results, may come to something useful.

Thanks to the moderators for their response in this matter.

I'm set to get new work, but communication keeps getting deferred for one hour. In the meantime, Einstein and Seti continue working just fine.


The only work for Linux at the moment (as of today 5th April) is

hadam3prm3pm2t_eu (hadam3p global model with hadrm3p regional model with MOSES II land scheme and TRIFFID available) (currently no graphics) (Linux only)
Tasks ready to send 13,462

If you have your setting set to receive all model types you should pick some of these ones up.

As I noted in an earlier message

[Quote]I noticed that the credit awarded is exactly the same as the other (non-MOSES) Europe work unit type, so perhaps they have just got it mixed up.

They seem to have used the same crediting system for each Europe model even though they are completely different models.

This model is still not getting the correct credits, less than a 3rd of what they should be getting.

I don't have any A10 or similar CPUs but I have the older Phenom II type CPUs and to give you an idea of their run times on a couple of different models here they are (they run at 3.2 GHz standard clock, running Linux Fedora 16 64 bit)

This is quoted RUN Time, CPU Time is often quite a bit less,

MOSES II Landsurface Scheme around 1,008,800 seconds (280 Hours)

MOSES II and TRIFFID Europe around 1,004,000 seconds (279 Hours)

Coupled Model Full Resolution Ocean from 1,230,000 to 1,550,000 seconds (341 to 430 Hours)

I currently have 2 MOSES II and TRIFFID models running and they are

192 Hours at 67% with 92 Hours to go
242 Hours at 83% with 47 Hours to go

This at least will give you an idea as to what to expect, I am hoping that as you have much more recent chips then the times will be a lot lower, I am hoping this as I will have to update soon myself.

Rather than re-attach to the project, which might cause multiple host instances, just try stopping BOINC, closing it then restarting it. You should not need to reboot but as it may be a driver issue then perhaps a reboot will sort everything out.

Does anyone know if this credit error was corrected?

I am not keen to run this WU I have just downloaded for 1,000,000 seconds only to find I am getting a 5th of the credit I should be getting for this WU type.

Post:
Are you sure that your preferences are set to use 100% of CPU and to use all 2 cores available?

If it is not on 100% then BOINC sees the 1000 hour work unit as more important and throws most resources at that problem.

55) Questions and Answers : Windows : why does my anti-virus program think "hadam3p_afr_7.22_windows_intelx86.exe" is malware? (Message 51409)

Hi,
I found for TrendMicro, that the web-reputation service is causing the problem.
The web-reputation service doesn't allow a download from the download share you are using for the boinc program files like "hadam3p_afr_7.22_windows_intelx86.exe".
The project program files are created, but only contain the info text from web-reputation service.

Will try to post the web-reputation message from file tonight.


I was having TrendMicro block a number of Climate models. I was able to check under threats what was blocked and then allowed for this to be excluded from now on, also sent of information to TrendMicro that these are false positives.

All now working OK.

I have now reported one of these work unit types, and am seeing the same issue.

The MOSES (Global Only) type I reported last year gave 10,064.32 credits, the Europe model gives just 2,191.17 credits for a similar run time.

I wont be doing any more of these as the return is not really worth it (7 cr/hr).

Well they are still happening as I just had about 6 fail over the last day with this error, they run for about 21 minutes then fail.
All are new work units not ones from last October.

This is on a Windows XP 32 Bit machine.

Your failures all are for work units that were made back in Sept '14 and a few from Oct '14, no one has been able to run these work units they are faulty. The successful ones you have run come from Jan '15.

We seem to have to wait till they all cycle through the system to get rid of them.

I have been getting similar errors.

Australia temperatures rising faster than rest of the world: official report

Australia faced a rise in temperature of potentially more than 5 degrees celsius (41 degrees fahrenheit) by the end of the century, an increase that would outpace global warming worldwide, the country's national science agency said on Tuesday.

NB: A rise of 5 degrees C is 9 degrees F. It is not an absolute temperature. Some journalist needs to go back to school.


Scary stuff if proven true. Things do seem to be a bit warmer than when I was younger, but then here on the east coast of Australia that is subjective, we had 35 degrees C on Sunday (2 days ago) and yesterday (Monday) we had 19 degrees C. This is in the middle of an Aussie summer, very weird.

The journalist was sort of close, as going from a starting point of Zero degrees C you get 32 degrees F and 9 degrees F plus the 32 gives 41 degrees F. That person has just twisted around how the 9 degrees F was applied, probably to sensationalise the article, truth has never gotten in the way of a good story, it is usually just pushed to the side.
