Workunit 266757 Checked, but no consensus yet

Just curious??

I have had three of these Could you explain please why only one is marked as validate errors??

Is this not an invalid state or are the units checked against a valid statement.

Hi Michael,
This is the only pending task you have at the minute, http://dnahome.cs.rpi.edu/dna/workunit.php?wuid=280583

test_newmotifs_4_7505_1070000

581955 1900 13 May 2011 | 2:23:10 UTC 14 May 2011 | 14:23:10 UTC In progress --- --- --- Gibbs sampler v0.18
581956 2535 13 May 2011 | 2:23:11 UTC 13 May 2011 | 5:53:14 UTC Completed, waiting for validation 2,631.58 1,609.11 pending Gibbs sampler v0.18

As you can see, you returned your task but it hasn't been returned by another cruncher yet; each task is crunched by two crunchers, unless one fail in which case it is sent out again.

Thanks for your reply.

The question I was asking was this.in both post’s expanded.

A WU is sent out to two hosts A and B.

A returns as complete awaiting validation Pending.

B returns and is compared with A result both get a result of Checked, but no consensus yet.

A keeps the Checked, but no consensus yet

B is marker as validate error.

At this point in time who is correct A or B

(I would expect B to keep [Checked, but no consensus yet until C is returned.])

The WU is then sent to C

C returns and is compared with A Validation occurs.

Michael

I get what you are saying now; A and B should remain at no consensus rather than B going to validate error, until C is returned, so C can be compared to both A and B.

While I suppose there might be some other problem that could cause a validation error (task failed after 3sec), that would be unlikely to happen repeatedly on different systems.

Just found another of these .

Like I did on the first look, you missed the obvious ;)

This example (like the first one too) has only the start arguments but no result data in it.

For a valid WU you should see something like

incremented counts from checkpoint for [2066] sequences.
<current_sites>
1,392:1,589.
1,219:0,389.
...
...
...
0,30:0,106.
0,41:1,71.
</current_sites>
17:50:25 (5060): called boinc_finish

</stderr_txt>

It looks like he's having some kind of computation error, maybe some kind of segmentation fault... I wonder why nothing showed up in the error log...

Does this happen to all your workunits, or just some of them? What system is it happening on?

Travis Desell.

Thank you. I wonder if it may be happening more often then reported.

i.e. validate error rather than no consensus.

edit; just found

Sequence of events.

Until today WU 100% complete: status running, status ready to report, [almost instant to 1 second.] status clear.

Today it appears as WU 100% complete: status running, status ready to report, [between 5 to 10 seconds.] status clear.

Could this have been the cause of loss of stderr_txt data files.

edit: I cannot ever recall seeing an uploading status.

edit 2: I spoke too soon this was returned almost instant 100% running ready to report clear

I do not know if you have adjusted anything? So far no errors.

Michael

I see the validate error still exsist? Has any body else been getting them.
