Re: [boinc_dev] BOINC API issue with android arm?
Hi David, A couple years ago I built an android app for the NumberFields@home project. I too saw random seg faults about 50% of the time, and this was with code that worked perfectly on linux/windows/mac platforms. I never figured it out, primarily because I was too busy to learn how to use the android debugger. I put it on the back burner and never came back to it. So I'm glad to see you may have figured it out. As a side note, do you get enough android users to justify the extra work of maintaining the android app? Thanks, Eric -Original Message- From: boinc_dev [mailto:boinc_dev-boun...@ssl.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of David E Kim Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2017 11:40 AM To: boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu Subject: [boinc_dev] BOINC API issue with android arm? Hi all, I’m not sure if this is the right list to use but thought I’d mention it here. I tried to contact David Anderson via email but have not heard back. I was wondering if anyone has random seg fault issues with their android apps for their BOINC projects. Our Rosetta@home android application had pretty bad success rates and I found that the main cause was the use of “setitimer” in the “start_worker_signals” function in the boinc_api.cpp code. Our Rosetta app runs stable without the BOINC api, but when using the default api, it crashed randomly. I developed a workaround which avoids “setitimer" in the api code and our app is stable with the modified BOINC api and is now in production for our Rosetta@home project. Our success rates for android arm have gone from 40-60% to 95%. I’m wondering if this is just a Rosetta application induced bug (it’s a pretty substantial scientific app) or a general android issue.

Re: [boinc_dev] problem with check pointing
I think my problem is a little different. First of all, it is very rare; maybe 1 out of every 1 WUs. I know it's happening because I see it in the stderr for the WU, where the first thing it does is read the checkpoint file, which should not exist at the start. It's as if the BOINC manager starts using the slot for a new WU before the OS has had a chance to delete the old check point file. That's why I thought a work around would be to use a unique checkpoint name for each WU, hence my original question.

[boinc_dev] problem with deleting spammers
Like most projects, we have had some issues with spammers. I did the usual things to stop the spam, which I believe is working well enough. Realizing I had over 7 user accounts, but only about ~8000 of those legitimate, I decided to run the delete_spammers.php script. This was about 3 weeks ago. Now I have at least 1 user who claims his account disappeared. Also, according to BOINCstats, the total credits dropped on the day I ran delete_spammers. The question is how is that possible when delete_spammers is only supposed to delete those accounts with no hosts (i.e. no credit)? I looked at my command history and found the exact commands I used. Note that the first time I ran delete_spammers I had the options out of order. Here are the commands: 1st Time: php delete_spammers.php --user_url --days 60 2nd Time: php delete_spammers.php --days 60 --user_url Looking at the code, I believe putting --user_url first only means it ignores the days option, so it checked every user, regardless of create time.

I usually do further testing by using a private server that I run from my home computer - I normally have some friends connect and run a few test WUs. Anyways, I downloaded BOINC from the play store, and it only allows me to select from a fixed set of projects (I imagine this is due to android security restrictions), so I am unable to do any testing beyond my own personal phone. So 2 questions: (1) Is there a good way to do further testing; and (2) once I am confident my apps are good, how do I go about getting them on the android BOINC list?

Re: [boinc_dev] Credit AMD CPU vs Intel CPU.
David, If it helps, NumberFields grants credit based on runtime (Credit New doesn't work for us), so the benchmarks are important. Looking at Grandpa's benchmarks: AMD Host: GFLOPS = 2.08, GIOPS = 9.23 Intel Host: GFLOPS = 3.01, GIOPS = 11.44 (These are for 2 hosts that are doing approximately the same amount of work) These benchmarks explain the 30% discrepancy between his AMD and Intel hosts. I had Grandpa rerun his benchmarks, and they stayed about the same as above. So I would ask, how can the benchmark tests be so different between AMD and Intel, when the hosts are clearly doing the same amount of work?

Hi David, In https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=9569 user Grandpa reports that he has found a big discrepancy between credit given out to AMD CPUs versus credit given out to Intel CPUs, at the Numberfields project. I'll quote his last post on this: AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6276 [Family 21 Model 1 Stepping 2] (64 processors) Total runtime 100 WU's 1810010.65 Total points 100 WU's 26128.8 Grandma 6276 AMD Avg runtime per WU sec. 18100.1065 avg points per WU 261.288 3042Mhz Avg runtime per WU min. 301.6684416667 Avg runtime per WU hr. 5.0278073611 avg points per hr runtime 51.9685781959 Genuine Intel(R) CPU @ 2.70GHz [Family 6 Model 45 Stepping 5] (64 processors) Total runtime 100 WU's 1839477.54 Total points 100 WU's 38003.75 Musky 4650 Intel Avg runtime per WU sec. 18394.7754 avg points per WU 380.0375 3134Mhz Avg runtime per WU min. 306.57959 Avg runtime per WU hr. 5.1096598333 avg points per hr runtime 74.3762818653 OK but it still does not change the fact that this type of credit system has a pretty big flaw in it. According to the developer at Numberfields each of the machines above are doing the same amount of work and lets say that each WU is worth 1 FLOPS since the numbers were averaged over 100 WU's each and all things being equal those 2 machines should have received roughly the same amount of credit with a slight advantage going to the AMD, but in actuality AMD is receiving 30% less. I do not really see this as being a fair credit system to the AMD users when it come to certain types of work. AMD 100 WU's = 100 FLOPS = 502.78 hrs of runtime = 26706.79 points of credit for 100 theoretical FLOPS Intel 100 WU's = 100 FLOPS = 510.96 hrs of runtime = 38003.74 points of credit for 100 theoretical FLOPS So in plain simple terms AMD gets less credit for doing the same amount of work as Intel does. I am just pointing out a pretty big flaw in the current credit system, from everything I have read and been told this system was set up to promote equality between all work done and to try and discourage cheating, It appears to me that it may have missed it's mark when in the equality field and they may need to go back to the drawing board and try and fix the problem or at least let people know that the credit system has a problem with some projects. I seem to remember that Seti has a similar problem, but the finer details escape me. Perhaps that (more) knowledgeable people can explain the discrepancy/difference?

[boinc_dev] php warning messages

[boinc_dev] WUs with abnormally high deadlines
Hi all, I am having an odd problem with the boinc server. There are a handful of WUs that have an extremely long deadline (~May 7th) even though the deadline is set to 7 days by the project. It's only happening with 1 user and this user claims to have detached from the project. Is there an easy way for me to free up these WUs so that they can be reissued to another user? I know I can cancel the WUs from the main admin page and then re-create them, but I thought there might be an easier way. Also, does anyone know what could cause this behavior? Thanks!

Re: [boinc_dev] Number of WUs in progress differ between client andserver
That's what I would have thought, except that app has plenty of tasks available and other hosts have no problems getting work. Anyways, several others have suggested setting resend_lost_results, so I will see if that fixes the problem. -Original Message- From: McLeod, John [mailto:john.mcl...@sap.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 10:07 AM To: Eric J Korpela; Eric Driver Cc: boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu Subject: RE: [boinc_dev] Number of WUs in progress differ between client andserver I noticed the following line: 8514 NumberFields@home 24-10-2012 10:06:58 No tasks are available for the applications you have selected.

I always assumed it was the client disconnecting before the server reply was received. The next time the client asks for work it will get the same ones (if resent lost results is on). But if you're seeing it in a non-overloaded server that would be another issue entirely.
