Job started all over again....

#1 Ungelesener Beitrag von Dirk Broer » 31.03.2020 13:27

Hi, I have a RNA WU (task 14954654 work unit 6330940) that after 100 days, 5 days to go and at 99,8% complete reset itself to 98.765% complete and ran out the alloted time, while being at 98.765%.
It even went on after that, so I stopped the Virtual Box, re-started the system and : presto! it was a 0.300% complete and wanted to go running for some 8200 days....
At the moment it is at 1.723% and wants another 6308 days.

Well, precise calculation of the total run time is technically impossible with this software. As a result, after the program-based estimation of total run time is reached, the progress bar stays at 98.765% completion until the task is finished.
A good estimate is that the predicted run time is about half the real run time. This we found out after having run tasks for several years now. Still, there are exceptions and differences between Intel and AMD systems, so it seemed not useful to us to implement our own empirical approximation function for better run time prediction.
Note that the deadline is auto-extended on our server as long as your machine is able to contact our server at least once every two weeks but this fact will not be displayed / updated on the client side.

Unfortunately, the fact that your task is now at 0.x % indicates that some problem occurred and the task has indeed restarted. This happens VERY rarely and if it does, to our experience, it mostly has something to do with the writing of the (large) checkpoint VM image to disk in combination with a system (auto-)restart - e.g. when Windows is set to autoupdate it's OS and then restarts (this should always be disabled especially since the frequency of malfunctional updates has increased with Windows 10, at least to my experience).
The new (significantly longer) run time estimation is probably wrong and based on the "crash".
Still, you should think carefully whether you are really willing to run this client again as the run time is indeed extremely long because we only have these few monstrous long runners in the system right now which are difficult to cope with for regular systems.
