Hi,

I have just noticed that some tasks get to 100% completed and then keep going again from 0% They have been running for quite a while now. Should this be happening ?



Have completed 3 other tasks in about 13 - 14 hours.

Dear PDW, could you post the contents of a checkpoint.txt file from the slot of that task?

Hi Natalia,

Several tasks that went past 100% have completed, although they ran for several more hours their final percentage only got up to about 1%.

Still have one task that has now run for 29.7 hours, task name is: R9_000000124

Here is the current contents of the checkpoint.txt file in its slot:

# Move search of pairs OLDS status  # Generation of DLS status  9 { 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  4 2 8 7 0 1 3 6 5  5 3 1 8 7 2 0 4 6  2 6 0 4 8 7 1 5 3  8 0 6 5 3 4 7 1 2  7 4 3 2 5 6 8 0 1  6 7 4 1 2 8 5 3 0  3 5 7 6 1 0 2 8 4  1 8 5 0 6 3 4 2 7  } 56  1 2  1 3  1 4  1 5  1 6  1 8  2 0  2 1  2 3  2 4  2 5  2 7  2 8  3 0  3 1  3 2  3 4  3 6  3 7  3 8  4 0  4 1  4 2  4 3  4 5  4 6  4 7  4 8  5 0  5 1  5 2  5 4  5 6  5 7  5 8  6 0  6 1  6 3  6 4  6 5  6 7  6 8  7 0  7 2  7 3  7 4  7 5  7 6  7 8  8 1  8 2  8 3  8 4  8 5  8 6  8 7   1 2 -1 8 7 55  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0   0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1  1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1  1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1  1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0  1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1  1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1   1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1  1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1  1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1  1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0  1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1  0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1   1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1  0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0  1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1   1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1  0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1  0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0  1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1  0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1  0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1  0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1   1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1  0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1  1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1  1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0  1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1   1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1  1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0  0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1  1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1  1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1   1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1  1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0  1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1  0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1   1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1  1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1  0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1  0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0   1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0  1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1  0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1  1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1    516000000  # Move search component status  0 0 0 0 516000000 

Thanks.

This display issue happened to me too, and it is very misleading. If you cannot estimate when task would end, better approach would be to display 99.xxx% and increase fraction part only.

Still have one task that has now run for 29.7 hours, task name is: R9_000000124

Here is the current contents of the checkpoint.txt file in its slot:

PWD, thank you for report. Did the calculations succeed?
if I understand correctly, this task is very large. Similar tasks are very rare.

Hi,

Yes, all the tasks that went from 100% to 0% completed successfully :-)
Only 2 tasks have failed, they were 32 bit tasks and I did not have the 32 libraries installed, I do now !

I also had few very long tasks - the longest one needed 2 days 2.5 hours to complete. Two of them are validated successfully, 3rd one waits for validation.

Daniel, yes it is. These tasks are about 2 - 2.5 times larger than "usual task".

Thank you!
Happy crunching!

Some tasks stay at 100% and never ends until hours. Is that normal?

Supracore, hello!

Some tasks can be a very large - approximately 2 times large than usual task. We can not precise predict a task size and in this case progress can reach 100% within a few hours before actual finish of computation.

Than you for participation in our project!

Thx for the info. :-)

I've had a similar issue, in this case however tasks reach and remain at 100% but keep going while never displaying "Ready to Report".
Not sure if such tasks break and require an abort or if I should let them run and somehow they will complete.
Here's a sample task still going for over 14hrs and counting...

Could you check a file slots/11/checkpoint.txt, if the task still in progress? If it changes every 1 .. 5 minutes and number of processed squares int last lines of the file increased - it is a simply large task.

Hi hoarfrost,

It appears indeed that the process is ongoing and value increasing every min after checking slot/11 .txt file, your feedback is well appreciated and reassuring! :)
