Is it possible that there's a bug in BOINC where when host.active_frac
= 1 (100%) it won't request any work?
I ask this as on DrugDiscovery we've seen the following happen to
people (and to myself);
Host asks for work and gets as a message:
23-Jun-09 21:36:02 DrugDiscovery Message from server: GROMACS with
Nvidia GPU is not available for your type of computer.
23-Jun-09 21:36:02 DrugDiscovery Message from server: (won't finish in
time) BOINC runs 98.3% of time, computation enabled 100.0% of that
I don't think the GPU message has anything to do with it as that was
something people with CUDA GPUs got as well. It's the second line.
Now, stupid me, I didn't log anything at the time, or saved the
relevant lines from client_state.xml or any of the sched_reply or
sched_request files... I just reset the project and then got work.
After the last sched_request my numbers are:
<on_frac>0.974275</on_frac>
<connected_frac>0.967568</connected_frac>
<active_frac>0.968222</active_frac>
So I am assuming that any number under 100% will do, but 100% will
stop work from getting in.
Trouble is that I don't see it reflected in the source code. The only
reference is when host.active_frac is above 100% (or > 1), to show a
message that this is something of an impossibility and that we're
resetting to 100% (or 1). ;-)
Any ideas?
