Posted 7 Feb 2018 by xaminmo Post: I provided an answer over on the Rosetta forum too, assuming that I diagnosed it correctly.Thanks! That answers a major question (what does long-term mean). Based on that info, I expect your answer is probably exactly what I needed. I see you're not gridcoined, but if you have any sort of kudos or imaginary points you collect anywhere, PM me and I'll send something. |

Posted 7 Feb 2018 by xaminmo Post: I did not point it out to bust your chops over phrasology. That is a filtering/semantic issue on my part. The intent was to point out that the issue is not new, and the existing replies for a similar issue did not provide the needed info. I deleted the rest of my reply because it is superseded. Jim1348 pointed me in the right direction, but I appreciate that you spent time replying to me. |

Posted 7 Feb 2018 by xaminmo Post: Funny how you can read what my mood was on 7 Feb 2014 at 5:40 in the afternoon....The key point intended was to convey that the issue is not new, and had not been clearly answered in the prior posts about it. I didn't mean to bust your chops over it per se. It was a small part. I'll agree that my own frustration could be dialed back in the bottom part of my post, but I stand by the statement that it's not constructive to tell users things like "what else do you expect" and "funny how you can read my mood". I deleted the rest of my reply. It was asking for clarification of long-term, explaining details of how long I'd been running vs stuck, and details of the searches I made prior to posting, etc. Jim1348 clarified the definition of "what does long term" mean (10 day REC half-life is default), and suggested a specific client option that can help tune this. I think that was exactly what I needed. |

Posted 2 Feb 2018 by xaminmo Post: Rosetta seems to send more work than BOINC requests, and BOINC ends up preferring Rosetta well past its resource share setting. The main system I notice this on is here: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=3290081 Even if I limit Rosetta to a third of my CPUs, BOINC just leaves my CPUs idle rather than downloading work from other projects. If I suspend Rosetta, within 5 seconds, my queue will have work from other projects. This only affects CPU projects. No GPU projects, and none of my other projects seem to preempt the scheduler. This was brought up in the past, but all the user got was a sarcastic response from a forum mod. This is basically the same as https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8903 I consider this a defect in the operation of BOINC, since BOINC is the workload manager and job scheduler. I'm hoping for a workaround, or a dev commitment to help improve this. |
