About bad jobpackets:

"OK, since so many of you are having problems with all those corrupt JobPackets, I've just developed the 'LifeMapper Packet Watcher'.

It's a simple application: just place it in your lifemapper client directory and start it up.

Every x seconds it will check all the Lifemapper JobPackets for their filesize. Every JobPacket file <= 5 KB will be deleted automatically.

The default interval is set to 480 seconds (8 Minutes). You can specify your own interval as well though.

Please run the application like this 'LM_Packet_Watcher.exe -h' switch to see the help.

Hopefully this can make 'babysitting' those machines a bit easier

Although I have complete faith in this little app. Use it at your own risk."

Just want to let you know that i stop running D2OL. Now i will crunch for lifemapper. I can smell 10th place.

Is anyone still running D2OL?????

Well I'm excited, so hurry up!!!!! LOL. :D

I'm still running some D2OL too.

I am too and so is BWhite.

So am I... i just pushed both over.... I have not had good news from Predictor... Matter of fact, it has been dead silent. I think they are exhausted and taking a break...Don't delete any predictor stuff... but don't run CLI or remote GUI's...


I am running 2 machnes on D2OL, soon to be 3..... (the 3200+ chip is on the way and the MB is fine)

Beerknurd better be carefull because even though I show 7 nodes, only 2 are active and I am pushing them out of machine 1 pretty quick....

Here's the stats from tonight (from installation until it took it's snapshot).

Does anyone know how to merge nodes so I can truly show 2... I don't have 7.

PS: I asked for help in unlocking the 2400 Mhz limit... :) because the busses are only running at 100mhz... this is good for 200+ :) The CPU multiplier is good to over 20... and I'm just sitting at 12 :)

Hey BC, if you go to D2OL.com and then go to your account page you can merge nodes there.

I saw where I can delete them, and it would not let me... it showed all nodes and a 'del' button... where is the merge??? merge users???

I'm sorry, I guess I was thinking of "Merge Members". I don't know. That is a good question. I would have sworn I had seen it on there.

Keith,

You're thinking of predictor. I've started the migration to d2ol.

Anybody, does someone know of a piece software that alters the fsb in small increments, I have cpsfsb which will only move from 133hz to 140hz?

Stu,
Isn't that a function of your bios, motherboard, and CPU multiplier, with the CPU multiplier being the main controlling factor?

Chuck

Chuck,

My bios only allows a fsb setting of 100 or 133 :cry:

So I need software to change the setting. I've tried cpufsb but the fsb increments are too big.

My mobo is ecs k7vmm+, I've got the latest bios loaded. I've just cleaned and re-seated my cooler and now cpu is running at 51C instead of 70C :D

Also installed 2 X 120 gig disks with 8 meg cache each and 2 X 512 meg ddr pc2700 ( I only needed pc2100 but the extra cost was minimal)

The 100 or 133 limit on your FSB in bios is your stumbling block unless there is a program for your MB... OR.... you install a dip switch where the clocking jumpers are... :)



Here's a temperature trick if I may..... as I think 51C is still too hot.

You know about Artic Silver 5 compound, right? That's the best going.

Here's another trick that most aren't aware of.....

Your CPU cooler blows air in and down onto the heat sink base and
based on the mount... can actually cause heat to blown into the
mounting area (oven).....

Well, if you do the following (assuming your cooler will permit this)....

1) Flip the fan over (unscrew the fan, flip it and screw it back on).
2) get about a 1/2" - 3/4" of tape and go all the way around the top
near the fan to prevent useless air from getting sucked in.

The result? You are actually pulling heat AWAY from the CPU AND MB.

If you want help with AS-5... there is plenty of doc on their site and I have a lot of experience with it. I know people who have actually melted the plastic housing that holds down their heatsinks and fans.

If it works for you (and you will know very quickly) then enjoy... just stay in bios and watch the heat levels from power-up.... You may want to set a slightly 'lower-than-normal' shutdown temp until you are comfortable with the new cooling arrangement.

Between the AS-5 (which is good for 2-6C) and the air flow change (another 2-3C), you should be enjoying some nice temps real quickly.

Chuck

Guys,
Is there ANY truth to the report on the D2OL Forum pages from the webmaster and other users that over 97% of the work on D2OL has already been done, the rest having been done in the labs, and we are simply spinning our wheels reprocessing old data???????

BC

Thanks Chuck,

I used AS but not 5. I will try the reverse air flow trick though, And fit an exhaust fan.

I will continue looking into fsb changers. Even if I could push my 2000 into a 2100. It would help.


Stu

Chuck, that's a serious allegation, although not beyond the realms of possibility (it has happened before somewhere else).

Indeed we could expect some re-processing for greater validation, but any project caught "masquerading" in such a way would bear the bash of the Selfish stick. There are a lot of projects which need the crunch time and any project team which didn't own up to being over would attract some bad karma.

Do you have reason to believe that this is so ?

(I do find it odd that we still process Anthrax units when other similar DC projects which were involved have declared that the Anthrax projects are complete...)

Have you posted your question in the project forum ?

Pepe found the article... further reading suggested the entire D2OL membership STOP processing all at once since they are never heard, 2.5 is not done, and no new libraries are ready..

Also I find it odd that Anthrax vaccines are being given out (posted on the D2OL GUI itself), yet we continue to process it.


Hereis the post from the D2OL forum:

I received an email from Wolfgang (after a short dialog) with a real update on where we are at D2OL. I am posting here as I believe this is where most people will see it. Here is a cut 'n pasted copy of the email.

"The low down on the project D2OL:

We have screened close to 97% of three libraries against all targets
currently in the project. We anticipate completing these three
libraries by the end of July. We have adjusted various parameters in
the docking algorithms over the past two years to fine-tune the system.
Representative top-candidates from each library will be selected (based
on some selection criteria based on the chemical structure of the
candidate) for screening in the laboratory. The first target to be
evaluated in the laboratory is the Anthrax Lethal Factor. Dr. Rekha G.
Panchal from the National Cancer Institute at Frederick has agreed to
test compounds in Biochemical and Cell based assays.

Future directions:

We have screened 3 of a selection of 12 libraries. The number of
libraries also increases as new suppliers are identified. Screening of
the libraries should proceed much faster since the system has been
optimized and returns validated and reliable results with close to 98%
efficiency.

We had hoped to introduce new statistical monitoring for the new
libraries. This might not happen in time with the release of the first
new library of candidates. Individual statistics are valid and
correctly reflected in the system. The new system would introduce
library based statistics which have a better defined end-point (you can
compare this to seasonal sports like football, you would have seasonal
winners and seasonal performance as well as an overall performance for
all seasons). This would give new users incentives to perform at peak
since they have no chance to "catch-up" with veteran users."

So that's the info I got. If you have any other questions, post them and I can get back in touch with Dr. Hinz about it.

If this is true, then I suggest we go elsewhere until predictor is back. I know that science is not driven by a corporation..... just one very tired team of 3 people (self included)

We can go to Lifemapper, SOB or ChessBrain.

I agree, we should change to something that is usefull. What does everyone think about this?

Predictor is coming back up this PM (PST) without web page, but with work units.....


care to give it a 'gentle try' and ease back into it...


I will likely be there all weekend helping fix it. (Seti hurt us bad) Many memory leaks in code were found... I will continue to help find leaks, and fix Linux kernel and Apache compilation.


If I am there..... I will post here and let you all know...




Chuck

This may sound stupid but why was Seti code use anyways as Pedictor is the third Bionc project. I thought thay would of learned from when Astropulse crashed and then Seti not to use the same code or setup. :?: :roll:

Seti / AP got rolled together... it was decided to push Seti to foreground and AP to background. but they still didn't fix it all..... hence why BOINC core is now at version 4.01 already.

The biggest issue is Zombie procsses... Sun ignores child termination messages, SysV does not..... None of the BOINC code has termination message code handlers in it AT ALL.... Our task for the weekend will be to write in the new code and put the #ifdef SYSV // #endif around it all.

Seti/AP uses SUN (BSD).... Predictor uses Linux.... (SysV)... the interaction with standard Apache is where the Zombie is created.

The other memory leaks (just plain bad code) are being fixed as fast as lint and other methods can find them.

the architecture is good, just the coding is poor quality. As for the DB... Predictor knows better and does not use the same DB architecture / indexing as Seti... so that part is already corrected (and has been since day 1)

Predictor is down at the moment... but by the time I get there, it will be up (or shortly thereafter)... I will let you all know...

Please just ease into it as *I* am going to nurse the servers along and will be a 1-man show.

Think I'll run mostly SOB while I wait for things to get straightened out.

Since I'm on the P@H team and fixing the Kernel now (found yet another flaw... bad kernel config by the guys who built the 'bigmem' kernel in their 'IT department' (forgot the 'SH' in front of that))....

I will stay on P@H and get the first couple downloads and make sure that I have mem flushing working correctly.

Here is the exact situ..

it COMPLETELY fills 4GB of ram, (just generating WUs) because the buff and cache fill ****THEN ****** starts flushing memory, which takes some 30 seconds... causing swapping all the way.... compounding the poor performance.....

****SOMEONE***** does not know how to gen a Linux kernel.

I'm retuning the kernel and going to set some reasonable parameters... like flush memory every 15-30 seconds, or when min-free = 256M... stuff like that... This default 'bigmem' kernel config is apparantly never meant to swap.



I will test it out... I may ask for a few volunteers in a while, but I will do so in the Predictor thread..... until then, I'm going to give Beerknurd a hard time on D2OL and just catch up to him.... :P :lol:

Chuck,

I'm at home all day today, If you want to use me as a guinea pig, just say so.

It's 10am Saturday, the German F1 Grand Prix qualifying start in 2 hours, so I don't leave the house.

Does make you wonder how these so programmers make into the real world.

With any luck, I will see what you alll see, just tape delayed..... I am at home.

how's the new avatar?


PS: Now you both know why I want to move back to Europe.... UK, Germany, Austria, or Switzerland (last resort) is ok w/ me.

Chuck ! 7 nodes !
It's not just Berknurd you're trying to catch is it ?
Stu - maybe we could merge into a single member and keep him at bay ! LOL.
Good onya Chuck at least we'll keep Team Ninja down for a while longer.

Dave, only 2 are active on D2OL... but D2OL is smart... it's giving the fastest processor the toughest jobs to do. Now, do you want another one active??? It *can* be arranged... :lol:

But @ 230-something the first partial-day, I am pleased. (337 in the first 30 hours)

Dave,

You might have an idea there.

If we created a super user that we could all access, we could then allocate a machine or 2 to it. The rest of the world would see a 'king fast user :D

Lets bounce the idea around. See if it has merit.


BTW, I lied, I said I was staying in all afternoon, my wife has just informed me that we have a party to go to in 30 minutes. Shucks.

I've left 2 predictor machines hunting for work.

And......worst of all....I've got to record the GP qualifying. :cry:


Stuart

Stu,
put the predictors on d2ol...

predictor may be down for days...

i got no replies after 9 pm pst last night. (7 hours ago)


and fyi... i am seeing d2ol still has merit, but now it is not earning points like it did... it is really hunting for solutions.


*edit*: Does the avatar meet w/ everyone's approval ??

The performance crisis has calmed down a bit, we are generating mfold WUs again and plan to restart the distribution in the next 12 hours. Keep your machine ready to fire off! Soon details of this adventure will follow on the cs news page :-)

The email between us is sometimes slow & unreliable... i am not surprised as to the status though... but I know the kernel was a mess... it was gen'd for a P-2... the main is a dual xeon 2.66 machine. .... 2 - quad opterons and Suse 9.1 (w/ 64 bit mode) are on the way.

It does mean they solved one problem that was holding us up completely, and I was not aware they fixed the CGI. But am glad.

Our last comm w/ each other was that the WU datbase was going to be filled to the max. ALL raw data would be processed.

expect a 6-8am PST kick-off of Predictor given this info. I know their schedules..... AND... how tired we all are.... I took a 4 hour 'nap' and am up now for just a few minutes, then back to bed.

BC

Predictor's up!!!!!!! Start crunching!!!!!! :)
