Hi guys,

I just noticed that hundreds of my work units were aborted by the server yesterday, and I'm talking not only about not-yet-started ones, but tasks which already ran for hours. Altogether I lost about (2816696.11 seconds) 3.26 days of work/runtime!

I understand if you don't need the results anymore (they were *all* "aborted by project - no longer usable"), but then please go at least for some credit-compensation in the future...

Thanks,

walli

It was the same for me, although I had a lot less aborted WUs. We donate our CPU Time and actually also some money with our electrical bills and then the server is just aborting the work and is'nt even rewarding credits for the work done.

I stopped calculating for Rosetta now, thats not how you can treat your users.

We used to grant claimed credit to all canceled, past deadline, and invalid results and I see no reason why we shouldn't continue doing this. I think this task was lost after our last server update. I just restarted it and it will run every 6 hours.

Hi guys,

Nope, see above or the other big thread where this topic is currently on discussion - people got no credits for the server-side aborted tasks... https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=13852

past deadline

Yes and No. I had a bunch of tasks about 2-3 weeks ago ("rb*" resp. "*robetta*"), which got no credits at all as soon as they were past the deadline even for a single second. There was no other info/hint in the stderr-log which leads to any other assumption but the deadline.

and invalid results

I'm pretty sure that this ist not the case, but I have no work units/tasks to look at atm to confirm this because the results are purged very fast.

I think this task was lost after our last server update.

Which "task"? Do you speak of a setting or something like a cronjob for this credit-problem...?

Thanks for your reply and best regards,

walli

Double check what was posted there-

My bad, apologies. :)

Very annoying, 4 WUs cancelled, all running over 50.000 secs. Is it me or what?

Please let us know if the claimed credit is not granted within a 6 hour time period. I added the credit granting task as a cron job that runs every 6 hours.

I have confirmed that it is working.

Not you - it's the size of the upload file again
And none of your runtimes were unreasonably long either

<error_code>-131 (file size too big)</error_code>

Credited, I now notice. Sounds like that clean-up job caught up with it. Good news
