Hey all I'm forwarding a report concerning the client and possible issues with lengthy or failing downloads. I haven't had the time to verify it so just ignore it if this is not (or no longer is) the case.
Situation: 1) Client attached to multiple projects 2) Cache set to X days of work 3) A project releases workunits with downloads that take around X days to get (slow, big or failing, the issue is naturally more pressing for clients with smaller values of X.) 4) Client is registered to some WUs and starts downloading - the scheduling mechanism is satisfied 5) Client eventually runs out of work and stalls until the download completes or fails entirely. Problem: The client isn't doing anything. CPU utilization is 0%. Expected behaviour: The client would fetch and work on something else while completing the lengthy download. Difficulties: Detecting the situation and determining the course of action (finding alternative work). -- Janus _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
