I'm also having problems with Rosetta.

My computer just marked 45 tasks as Errors While Computing, all within a few seconds of starting.

Here is an example, one of the 45:

Here's the computer configuration:
7.16.11 AuthenticAMD
AMD A6-6400K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics [Family 21 Model 19 Stepping 1]

Any ideas?

Yes one--you only have 8gb of memory in that machine and should only try running ONE Rosetta task at a time and NOTHING else at all on the cpu.

Not true. As long as you have 1.3GB of RAM per core/thread you won't run in to lack of memory problems. 8GB of RAM on a 2 core system (even with onboard graphics) is plenty even with the largest RAM requirement Tasks.

That system is showing signs of a major hardware or driver issue- hardware being most likely (unfortunately the error messages aren't of much help).
I'd check the temperature of the CPU, make sure the power supply rails are all OK, etc. Give Memtest86 a run if the PSU & CPU temperatures are OK.
If they check out OK, it could be the result of corruption of some of the Rosetta files- Resetting the project will dump all existing work, delete all the executable & database files & re-download them from scratch. Even if that does fix it, the question is still "Why did they become corrupt?"

Not sure what's been going on, but apart from a one day glitch, may RAC has has been falling steadily for almost 2 weeks. And it's still falling.
On my systems the amount of Credit per task has gone from around 350 to barely above 300 (there's the odd one giving 400, but more odd ones giving only 170 or so), yet the number of of Invalids and Errors has dropped away considerably.

Could be the new tasks are shorter and therefore give fewer credits

Nope.
The Credit is based on the amount of work they do, during the time they run. The work being done & Runtime is unchanged, and many of the Tasks over the last couple of weeks are of types that have been released before, and were paying more Credit.

A good example are the pre_helical_bundles_ we've been getting for months now. They're the ones that were paying around 350, now it's barely 300. The odd one will give 400, but there are many more odd ones paying only 170 or so.
Just another example of the weird Credit mechanism behaviour of BOINC.

Is this the so called "credit new"?

Is this the so called "credit new"?

That would probably be part of it. Rosetta has their own Credit mechanism, but there are times where it uses the Credit New mechanism as well.

I seriously dislike so called 'credit new' as it dissuades Projects from attracting new people as needed. I much prefer a credit system based on the type of task we are crunching, one that encourages people to crunch task a if they want lots of credit as opposed to task b which has a longer time frame.

?
If the Credit system worked as intended, regardless of the Task and regardless of the project, and regardless of how long it takes to process a Task, a given machine would get the same amount of Credit per hour for processing work.
That way the only reason for choosing a particular project over another would be the project itself. A more powerful system will get more Credit because it's doing more work. If a Task of a given type takes 5min or takes 5 weeks, the amount of Credit awarded per hour should be the same.
Of course if there is an application that is more efficient then that will result in more credit due to more work being done within a given time frame- but the amount of work actually being done is the same, so the Credit for that Task should remain unchanged. You just get the benefit of doing more work per hour, so you get a higher RAC thanks to the more optimised application.

Unfortunately by it's very design Credit New varies the amount of Credit a Task will get for all sorts of reasons. And then you get projects such as Collatz that completely ignore the definition of a Cobblestone and award ridiculously, excessively inflated amounts for a Task.



As it is my RAC appears to have stopped falling (for now). It hasn't started to climb back to where it was, but at least it's no longer falling.

And THAT is a very good thing, next step climbing again!!!

UGH!!!

And to add to the continually falling RAC, a new batch of work has a roughly 50% failure rate.
11mers_FF2__cyclo_11mer_ are culprits.

Looks like we've got a server issue.

Server Status page shows all green and running, but there is no work available to to go out. Plenty of queued up jobs, but no Tasks ready to send, All requests for work work result in none.
As a result, Work in progress is taking a dive.
Around 21:30 Monday server time was when things fell over.

Correct... :(

The work unit generator was being worked on yesterday to add support for VM applications and it was crashing.

The good news is it was fixed a couple of hours ago - tasks coming down here

Not sure what's going on, but the amount of work In progress ahs been falling away slowly but surely for 2 days now.

Not sure either. The mix of tasks doesn't imply anything different recently.
I put in that request to reduce the disk-demand for pre_helical_bundles tasks, but it hasn't happened.
That might've improved things, but by not changing it wouldn't result in any change to In Progress tasks you're seeing.
No idea

I had to abort this task after running for nearly 2 days elapsed time.
I stalled out around 80%. No movement in the graphics, no increase/decrease in the CPU usage rate, no counting up on completion, nothing.

I shut my system down at night after running a huge electric bill last year running 24/7, but my shut down sequence is to suspend the tasks, shut down the client and then exit.
The leave non GPU tasks in memory while suspended is checked.

I have no idea what could cause it to stall.
I had this problem with another pre helical task in the past.

Any ideas how to prevent this or what is causing it?
How long does this kind of task take to complete?
I run 16-17 hours a day, change tasks is set at 6 hours.
oh...and cpu run time was 7 hours in 1.5 days.

Any ideas how to prevent this or what is causing it?

I suspect that things aren't actually stalling as such, it's just that your system so ridiculously overcommitted trying to do work that some Tasks take forever to complete so it looks like they have stalled. Even those that do complete take way more time than they should.
eg This Task of yours.
rb_06_04_79633_77510_ab_t000__h002_robetta_IGNORE_THE_REST_04_10_1395231_248_0

Run time 22 hours 21 min 14 sec
CPU time  7 hours 59 min 47 sec

And one of your Moo wrapper CPU Tasks is even worse
dnetc_r72_1624557342_9_9_0

Run time 7 hours 2 min  3 sec
CPU time        23 min 18 sec

22 hours to do 8 hours of work is bad enough, but 7 hours to do 23 minutes of work is beyond ridiculous.

Compared to one of my Rosetta Tasks.
pre_helical_bundles_round1_attempt1_SAVE_ALL_OUT_IGNORE_THE_REST_3rl4pd6v_1391037_4_1

Run time 7 hours 59 min 37 sec
CPU time 7 hours 57 min  5 sec

Check Task Manager or use Process Explorer to see what else is running on the system apart from BOINC projects. If there's nothing else and it's just BOINC projects, then you need to reserve a CPU core to support each GPU Task that is running.
Running multiple GPU tasks at the same time as trying to process CPU work on CPU cores that are trying to support the GPU work is the most likely cause of all your issues.

Reserve a CPU core for each GPU Task being run for each project doing GPU work, make sure that there are no other processes sucking up CPU time and your system output for all BOINC projects will improve hugely with all the CPU Tasks that no longer take 7 hours to do 23 minutes of work!


Ah! I though this sounded familiar & now i remember we have had this conversation before, and back then you mentioned you run Folding at home as well.
I told you then what needed to be done, it appears you haven't done it, hence you are still having the same issues.
