Message 989 - Posted: 3 Sep 2015, 22:55:34 UTC

I only have 3 of my hosts running here right now but they are doing fine and no errors or invalids.

(Win10 and Win7)

The only time I have a problem is with VB if the power shuts down without a *suspend*

Some will start over at 0% or just computer error but I always have mine running 24/7 as long as the power doesn't go out.

At the moment I'm sitting in the damp UK but this point in the boot.log is when I move to what I expect is a nice sunny beach in the Pacific region...

Mon Aug 31 17:47:16 2015: Starting rpcbind: ^[[60G[^[[0;32m OK ^[[0;39m]
Mon Aug 31 09:47:20 2015: Starting CernVM: ^[[60G[^[[0;32m OK ^[[0;39m]

This problem has now gone away.
Not sure if you had done something your end or it was what I did yesterday but I no longer move to another time zone :-)

Not sure, but guessing less than 290 jobs left. Short weeks in Britain ;)

Typo; 10,000 jobs...

Since we're in the next week and I don't get jobs, I suppose we're out of work . . .

Its Early Monday Morning in Beautiful Downtown Uxbridge, let Ivan finish his coffee and croissants before logging in and adding more jobs!

Hi Ivan,
is it possible to put an indicator of jobs available on the SSP?
The "Tasks ready to send" is a pointless figure.

It should be possible -- how to actually do it is another matter! I'll give it some thought.

Today after work I'm leaving the Office for a 1 week trip with my bike; let my Clients run CMS or should I Switch to other Projects for this time ?

Probably best to switch to other projects in case we get glitches. I had to submit this new batch 6 or 7 times before it finally went through.

Confirming that the 1st new cmsRun started.
Same kind of jobs, Ivan - 25 records each?
How many jobs did you throw into this batch?
Edit: My own answer: Other kind of jobs! 1 record is much faster processed.

Okay, my Clients will crunch up to the end of the 24-hours of the BOINC-WU and then Switch back to vLHC.

See you after my holidays

Yes, these are "minimum bias" events, basically background, so they are faster than the complex T-Tbar events we ran last week.

How are people finding these jobs? The output files are a bit larger than I was expecting, what sort of run-times are you getting per job?
Ah, found it in Dashboard -- quite a spread, minimum 26', maximum 4h16'.

There's quite a spread in the individual record times, too.
Casually watching a job here I saw times from 25s to 150s.

I am seeing it skipping run-directories.
run-1, run-2, run-4, run-6...
No gaps in time. Is that normal?
Times between 1h 20 to 2h10 per job (250 events)

Yeah, that's normal; basically it depends on the number of secondaries produced in the collision. The more specialised investigations like the T-Tbar stuff creates special interactions, with MinBias we take everything so there's a certain probability we will indeed produce, say, a MinBias interaction or something else of comparable complexity.

Upload size is what I'm seeing. Can't say about the run-number skipping, that'll have to wait for Laurence to comment, but so long as there's job-running continuity I'm not very worried. I think the numbering is just a convenience for the glide-in, I only see the returned result with its job number in the queue. I don't think the failure rate is significantly different from last week, so we may not be at the sweet-spot, but we're far from failure.
