Dear All, I'm having the following problem with Globus Toolkit:
While running the examples from the GT4 Tutorial by Borja Sotomayor there seem to be random delays in the client that calls the Math Service. strace gives the following (at some point) ..... 6339 17:10:53.677566 open("/tmp", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 176 6339 17:10:53.677623 fstat64(176, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|S_ISVTX|0777, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 6339 17:10:53.677694 getdents64(176, /* 15 entries */, 4096) = 552 6339 17:10:53.677949 getdents64(176, /* 0 entries */, 4096) = 0 6339 17:10:53.678012 close(176) = 0 6339 17:10:53.678294 read(175, "\v\303\276\5\372\33\374N\210D|\31\350\330\372\253"..., 8192) = 16 6339 17:10:53.678382 fstat64(175, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0666, st_rdev=makedev(1, 8), ...}) = 0 6339 17:10:53.678446 ioctl(175, FIONREAD, [149494784]) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) 6339 17:10:53.678511 _llseek(175, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR) = 0 6339 17:10:53.678560 _llseek(175, 0, [0], SEEK_END) = 0 6339 17:10:53.678619 _llseek(175, 0, [0], SEEK_SET) = 0 6339 17:10:53.678701 read(175, <unfinished ...> 6346 17:10:53.689764 <... futex resumed> ) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) 6346 17:10:53.689801 futex(0x8eddb28, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 6346 17:10:53.689856 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10072, 935287704}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.689908 gettimeofday({1263309053, 689926}, NULL) = 0 6346 17:10:53.689956 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10072, 935387402}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.690004 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10072, 935434621}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.690051 gettimeofday({1263309053, 690069}, NULL) = 0 6346 17:10:53.690099 clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1263309053, 690118560}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.690148 futex(0x96ee834, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, {0, 49950440}) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) 6346 17:10:53.740161 futex(0x8eddb28, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 6346 17:10:53.740212 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10072, 985650326}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.740268 gettimeofday({1263309053, 740286}, NULL) = 0 6346 17:10:53.740316 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10072, 985746802}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.740363 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10072, 985794056}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.740411 gettimeofday({1263309053, 740429}, NULL) = 0 6346 17:10:53.740459 clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1263309053, 740477706}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.740507 futex(0x96ee834, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, {0, 49951294}) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) 6346 17:10:53.790529 futex(0x8eddb28, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 6346 17:10:53.790582 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10073, 36028876}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.790649 gettimeofday({1263309053, 790669}, NULL) = 0 6346 17:10:53.790700 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10073, 36132492}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.790750 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10073, 36182258}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.790800 gettimeofday({1263309053, 790819}, NULL) = 0 6346 17:10:53.790851 clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1263309053, 790871031}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.790902 futex(0x96ee834, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, {0, 49947969}) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) 6346 17:10:53.840925 futex(0x8eddb28, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 6346 17:10:53.840985 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10073, 86416466}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.841034 gettimeofday({1263309053, 841053}, NULL) = 0 6346 17:10:53.841083 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10073, 86513727}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.841129 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {10073, 86560401}) = 0 6346 17:10:53.841176 gettimeofday({1263309053, 841194}, NULL) = 0 6346 17:10:53.841224 clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1263309053, 841243111}) = 0 .... and so on until at some point is seems to "unpause" at which time execution continues correctly and the client finishes. I have concluded that this happens when the client tries to call math.add(10) for the first time but does not happen in the following calls to add. This does not happen every time the client is executed. Sometimes it is fast, but most of the time it is slow (sometimes it takes up to 2 minutes for the client to finish). This happens with another service/client that I have developed in exactly the same way (the client hangs the first time it tries to call a method of the stub class). The client and the server are running on the same machine and I have also tried it with separate machines but nothing changes. It has been tested both on Fedora Core 9 and Debian 5 and both sun java 1.5 and 1.6. Has anyone else encountered such delays? Any help would be much appreciated! Best Regards, Spyridon V. Gogouvitis
