In the beginning the test version will only be available for the malariacontrol application. |

Starting with the next version of the science application, we will include an additional test step. We will first release new app versions as test applications. Is there a way to run test apps only on either school, home or work assigned computers? I have some remote computers, so can\'t run test apps unless I can isolate the remote computers. |

It should be possible to set the test option for a subset of your computers by editing \'Test project preferences\', allthough we haven\'t tested this yet. ____________ Alain Studer Swiss Tropical Institute |

Is there a distinctive naming scheme for the test WUs? |

Is there a distinctive naming scheme for the test WUs? I assume this is what you mean: https://malariacontrol.net/apps.php \'malariacontrol.net test version\' is what it should come through as. ____________ |

I thought there might also be something distinctive about the WU names, like \"wu_test_23_...\" or some such, but checking for the app name is a lot smarter. :oops: Unless someone beats me to it, when I get my first ones through I\'ll let you know the WU names. :] ____________ |

I am quite willing to help out on testing, it\'s just that I only have one machine and am limited in hardware. So I\'d have the following questions: |

Can I use the graphics? I get an error after use the graphic button. The graphics indeed seem to crash the application. We\'ll provide a fix for this next week. -Edit: Two image files were lost during the version update. The graphics now work. You may have to reset the project if your client already downloaded the malariacontrol test application.

Not too bad, but it needs a bit more work. We\'ll publish 5.48 as test soon. Yesterday a 5.48 unit came along and all seemed to go well. Did not have the oppertunity to start up the screensaver, when I had a look at the work tab it was already crunched and ready to report. ;-) ____________ |

I\'ve been running test apps and I noticed the server is ignoring the general preferences and handing out test workunits with a deadline of 25 hours from the time you download them. I\'m on dial-up and have my preferences set to contact the server every 2 days. |

I just returned to the project after a period of absence. These test work units, are they supposed to be in constant supply, or just intermittently? I enabled the option to run test work, but received none up to now. |

...are they supposed to be in constant supply, or just intermittently? To answer your question, they are intermittent and in small quantities. I\'ve had 120 test \'malariacontrolBeta 5.4X\' between 4-11 and 4-25 plus 720 regular \'malariacontrol 5.45\' across the same hosts. |

My computer is running them, however no progress is being made on these. That\'s a side effect of the wrapper that is used. The application runs through the wrapper and therefore doesn\'t directly \'talk\' to BOINC so it can\'t report the progress it is making. The tasks are running though, just let them be and finish. ____________ Jord. BOINC FAQ Service |

My computer is running them, however no progress is being made on these. Yep, Jord has it right. This application stays at 0% progress until the wu is complete then it jumps to 100%. The other side effect is that if you stop BOINC for any reason while the wu is running the wu restarts at 0% when you restart BOINC. Hence I do not run test apps on my laptop that is stopped twice a day (to / from work). Live long and BOINC! ____________ Paul (S@H1 8888) |

I see a new 5.53 test application. What is up with that? Were there problems with the version 5.52 test application? |
|
ID: 4646 | Rating: 0 | rate: / | |
I see a new 5.53 test application. What is up with that? Were there problems with the version 5.52 test application? There was nothing wrong with 5.52. What happened is that the addition of new features to the science application (related to models of the decay of acquired immunity) was given higher priority than the preparation of input data to make use of the features added in 5.52 (related to heterogeneity in simulated transmission intensities). Some parameters for these workunits had to be estimated from data outside the simulation model, and 5.52 was tested using only crude estimates for these parameters. Input data for both types of models is now ready, and the tests of 5.53 are looking ok so far. That means we\'ll soon update the application version from 5.51 to 5.53.

I'm seeing the Test Version 6.15 sometimes create false "CPU time" values, thus claiming insane credit (actual runtimes ~15m to 2h, reported upto 100h) and massively increasing Duration Correction factor (from 0.x to like 200!). |

Hmm, these guys are talking about Windows 6.15 only, while my Host is running Linux. Also, my other Linux machines still appear to download 6.15 work even today, hence I assume the Linux 6.15 is still the current, valid version? ____________ Scientific Network : 44800 MHz - 77824 MB - 1970 GB |

I would have thought that by now if there was a change in app version for linux that BOINC would have automatically be running it by now, so I think you are right. |

Not sure if this is pointing towards a problem with the Linux app or the WU, but I've just been granted 0 credit for the only successful task from WU 16322723. 2 of the errors which invalidated the WU were "Maximum disk usage exceeded" on Linux systems which have a good completion record. |

It's that pesky "Too many errors" that's to blame. :) It's invalidated what looks to be the only valid result for this wu. This wu looks to have been a v6.15 one, but has been modified to v6.16 and handed to both win and linux systems. The combination of aborts, failures and "no reply"'s has driven it into the "too many errors" range... The v6.15 + win is an expected failure, but you may be right in that v6.15 + linux = max disk usage exceeded error. |
