BT 0.47

jjwhalen · March 29, 2010, 12:11:31 AM

Regarding:

Quote(Fixed) Some projects with low CPU use the CPU% was not correct. (FreeHAL, v0.46 PrimeGrid's AP26 Search (cuda23) v1.01)

I can confirm that with Primegrid's AP26 Search (cuda23) v1.01, BT 0.47 does indeed show CPU % during the run in the range 0.05x~0.07x%

There is still no () CPU time in the ET field. But that's understandable since you appear to be set up to display time as xxd,HH:MM:SS, and not fractions of a second. This is also consistent with BOINCManager, which doesn't display fractional CPU time either. They probably never thought it would be necessary.

Once again Fred, thanks for the attention to detail (and while on vacation to boot)

Great, because it's a bet harder for me to test.
I could add some digits, but that would make everything less readable.
But if there is a request I could make that optional.

I agree that would make things less readable. It could be handy if more projects optimize their GPU apps down to a very low CPU load. But I believe I'd put it on the low priority list

Best wishes.

1st:
Task -> Status: It doesn't show waiting for memory but instead it will show waiting to run.

2nd:
History: If you change the computer name, it will create a new file (by design as stated in the FAQ), thus losing your history. Can it be made that the history stayed intact after rename?

1 Added to the list.
2 I will change this as on the todo list, but it's a bit complicated and I will wait, until I rewrite the computer part as a tab.

I forgot to mention (from a previous version):

On the Tasks tab, failed downloads (checksum error or whatever), go to Progress %=100.00 & assume the "Ready to report" color. They continue to show status "Downloading" instead of an appropriate error status & the "Error" color

They stay that way until the project is updated & the client reports them as download error

I was reminded of this because Einstein has been having server problems lately, with periods of extremely slow (and a few broken) downloads.

Hi,

Upgraded to 0.47 this other day. Now the new Tasks column in Projects tab is blank. Also, I get a persistent crash whenever I try to go to Transfers tab. Here's the details for the crash (I have an User Mini Dump File collected by WER that I can send if you want to look over it yourself):

Hi,

Upgraded to 0.47 this other day. Now the new Tasks column in Projects tab is blank. Also, I get a persistent crash whenever I try to go to Transfers tab. Here's the details for the crash (I have an User Mini Dump File collected by WER that I can send if you want to look over it yourself):

The Task column in projects is linked to the history tab. History should be enabled for this to work.
I will try to find the error, looks like an invalid read attempt.

1) Is there anything in the transfer.
2) Did you reboot your computer?

1) Yeah, I have pending Uploads in my Tasks tab. First Seti@Home Beta and now FreeHAL.
2) I've rebooted after BoincTasks update due to other patches.

Hmm, now I seem to also get a crash every time something is uploaded and History is enabled. It might be somehow related to the same crash when going to Transfers-tab.

I will take a look, with the dump file I can see the exact location, sot that should be possible to fix.
How many computers do you have enabled?
Close BT and remove the sorting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\BoincTasks\sorting , just delete the sorting folder sorting. This will delete all sorting entry's as this is something that's close to the error.

wicked · April 02, 2010, 05:17:45 PM

I have six computers that I'm monitoring.

OK, I renamed HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\BoincTasks\sorting key and looks like the crash went away. Both of them so I can now have history enabled again (which gave me back my number of tasks in Projects like you promised). Awesome, thanks for helping! Do you want the sorting registry key contents?

Any task with Status "Downloading" but Progress %=100.00 is suspect, since they are mutually exclusive. Also the color is the "Ready to report" instead of the "Upload/Download." The download failure is confirmed by looking at the client's message stream. The task never indicates on the BT Tasks tab with an error status but continues to show as above. When the project is Updated the task disappears from the Tasks tab. In the project server's database it shows up as a download error.

The keys would be nice to have, probably something is out of range.
I will add some additional checking.
