#1 Sourcefinder Changelog 22 March 2017

Post by Newshound »


Deployed a new validator that will save invalid work units locally so I can investigate possible computation errors.



Modified the assimilator to delete completed work units from the project's upload directory.



Added a new log rotator to ensure log files don't get too large, and so searching them is easier.



Made a post to the boinc_projects mailing list for assistance with some of the virtualbox issues we've been having. Hopefully someone else has some advice or knowledge that will help us solve them.



This weeks stats are as follows:



Total Cubes: 6944
Total Results: 31836
Total Canonical Results: 5021. 72.3070276498%
Average Results Per Cube: 4.58467741935

Good Results: 14426. 45.3134815932%
Bad Results: 17410. 54.6865184068%

Client Bad: 459. 1.44176404071%
Client InProgress: 16672. 52.3683879884%
Client Good: 14705. 46.1898479709%

Server Inactive: 0. 0.0%
Server Unsent: 6. 0.0188465887674%
Server InProgress: 299. 0.939188340244%
Server Over: 31531. 99.041965071%
The main reason why we have so many bad results is due to both myself deploying a buggy version of the validator, and the parameters_4.tar.gz file being removed by the boinc file deleter.

Hopefully this coming week will be interesting because the new validator should be fixed, and both the validator and assimilator will store any invalid/errored work units, which will allow me to get a much better look at work units that are actually failing.



It also seems as though developing a non-virtualbox version of the project could be a lot more difficult than I first imagined, because the Duchamp application we run relies on a set of external astronomy libraries, and I don't know if I can compile/deploy them properly for windows or mac. I'm going to do some further investigation/experimentation and see if I can work something out.[/list]
