This special experiment is over. The next step imply real chemists to look at the results to select few candidates for synthesis and evaluation. there are no more calculations planned at this time. If we have other projects like this one, we will not hesitate to share with you.

Thank you for your help !

887 user tcauchy also computers 881,883,886,888,889



And still this user is pumping out more invalid results.

Can we not do something about it, otherwise people are just not going to bother with this project.

Cheers



Thomas and I have a HUGE workload these last weeks... I just send him an email about his hosts.

Many molecules are unstable and leads to non reproductible results. That's a specificity of the project : a high rate of invalid results.

You can try the solution here : https://quchempedia.univ-angers.fr/athome/forum_thread.php?id=129&postid=1279
The conclusion seems to be : Just don't use BOINC 7.16.4. But you have 7.16.6 that should work...

Hostid 5668 is mine.
~850 invalids.

I don't know what's happening, sorry.
Can you help me to solve?

26) Message boards : News : Big server failure (Message 1383)

Hello everybody.

The server has been offline for 5 days due to a failure on the system disks. With a lot of work, we managed to get the server back online without any data loss. The disk redundancy is back online.

Sorry for the lack of news. The current campaign is still ongoing and we are also working on scientific publications. The health situation gives us a lot of extra work, but we don't give up!

Best regards
Benoit

Yes, my suggestion is to install a Linux VM (Linuxmint for example) on Windows 10

My advice to compute on Windows 10 is to install virtualbox and set up a virtual Machine you administrate yourself. Then, you compute within the VM with native application.

my analysis of the differents problems make me come to the conclusion that the common problem is the BOINC Vbox wrapper. The solution above bypass this problematic wrapper.

Sorry, big busyness at the moment...

I don't have a SMTP server, so sending email from my organization with the boinc server is complicated...
I see your MP. I'll try to find a workaround.

host 5702, stop flooding the server, maybe he sees the problem and finds a solution...

hosts 6300 and 6072 take no more WU. So, I let the users manage themselves

Host 4811 does not seem to flood the server with bad results. I'll monitor to see if the user manages to fix the problem or gives up

Checkpoint interval depends of the step of computation. NWchem only checkpoinst efficiently OPT step.

Hi Tim.

I think your host is ok. this project is a bit unusual and a proportion of invalid tasks and errors are expected.

Best regards Benoit

it is highly probable that these molecules are non conclusive. I understand that it's very expensive and not worth the cost. This is really the major disadvantage of chemical space exploration. Whatever you choose to do, thank you for your help.

All your hosts are whitelisted !


My problems were also due to this issue. I have removed the costamagnagianfranco version of BOINC from all of my machines and installed the 7.16.6 version from the official repo. Could you please whitelist my machines? I will watch them closely and make sure I see the work processing longer than a few seconds and completing. Thanks!
