Message 7094 - Posted: 18 Mar 2021, 8:33:58 UTC

Hi all,

We are testing long tasks which run over 1000 events instead of 200, so please select "ATLAS very long simulation" from the app list and give us feedback here. It is currently native linux-only and a minimum of 4 CPUs is required.

There are still some short test tasks in the system which process 2 events. I've stopped submitting those short tasks now. The first batch of 10 real long tasks with 1000 events is now available. Once those are finished there will be more available.

There are more long tasks in the queue now. I finished one task successfully on one of my hosts and it took 12 hours using 4 cores.

Thank you David, first longrunning is downloaded.

Edit:
Percent is growing very fast to 100 (in less than one hour).
Have 6 CPU's. Calculation run time: 8 hours for this 1000 Collisions.

Got 1 task but forgot to make the test account a member of the singularity group.
:-(

Now the queue is empty again.
:-(


<rsc_fpops_est> is currently set to 43200 GFLOPS.
Suggest to increase it by factor 5 before the next batch goes out.

Message 7101 - Posted: 19 Mar 2021, 13:05:39 UTC

I got 1 task for my 4-core Ubuntu VM with 6144MB RAM -> https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=2958027
Originally estimated elapsed time to finish 40 minutes.
It lasted 22 minutes before 4 athena.py's were running.
Now the task is running for 1 hour (incl. initializing) and the 4 workers have done together 5 Events (338 seconds up to 1715 seconds)
Deadline: 26 Mar 2021, 11:58:53 UTC

Message 7102 - Posted: 19 Mar 2021, 13:13:28 UTC

Got a task that started fine.
BOINC estimates a runtime of 4 min.
;-D

This miscalculation could become a problem when the app moves over to prod since lots of computers will then pull lots of tasks.
The more cores a computer reports the greater the miscalculation.


The time to setup the task (~20 min until the worker threads start) is comparable to "ATLAS native short".
The logfiles look fine, especially log.EVNTtoHITS.

...No cvmfs_config command found...

This is an ATLAS native test.
ATLAS native requires a local CVMFS client to be installed and correctly configured.

See the message board threads over at the -prod pages.

I've increased the flops estimate by a factor 5 for new tasks. I think BOINC's estimation is also based on previous tasks and since they have been very short the estimation is very small.

Note that for this app the max CPUs is 48, so if you have a big machine please give 48-core tasks a try!

I assumed "native" just meant meant that a VM was no longer needed (no vbox required). It's been so long since I ran the native thing, I forgot all about all the additional manual steps required.

That's correct.
But it also means that you are responsible to provide the environment that otherwise would be provided by the VM.

You are welcome for testing but should first make yourself familiar with the required environment.

Yes, I ran the native stuff years ago. It's just been so long that I forgot all about it.

Just a hint for a monitoring one-liner.
Open a console and cd to your BOINC working directory.
watch -n 50 -d -x sh -c "find ./slots -name \"AthenaMP.log\" |sort |xargs -n1 -I {} sh -c \"grep 'New average' {} |tail -n1\""


May still be a long list on a 48-core machine.

Unknown image format/type: /cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/containers/images/singularity/x86_64-centos7.img

try a version of singularity from the server

/cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/containers/sw/singularity/x86_64-el7/current/bin/singularity exec -B /cvmfs /cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/containers/images/singularity/x86_64-centos7.img hostname


maybe a hint will appear, e.g. "unsquashfs not found" or "mkdir /home/boinc: permission denied"

PS if it works - just delete the installed singularity
