*Beta* Want to check your EUE rate?

Ver 1.0.0.6 just uploaded to make the markup of the reports uniform, as you can see I don't have the "Compiler: " and then the compiler, same for board and build host

Other then that yes seems good, now to add the failed uploads and clients not being able to download work. Then the tabControl will get another tab with some graphs for the non eue wu's

Maybe a Linux version prior to adding another tab with graphs

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Linux version will take more time because I have to find ways of getting the hw and driver info besides the basic test handling which I think won't take long to do. And besides, MstrBlst Xilikon and most others seemed to deem a linux version not as important as Linux has some built in tools which they told me can be used to parse the logs in the same way as I'm doing now

The upload failures and clients not being able to download work need attention next don't you agree? Most people have atleast one windows machine running in their network.

And besides I already included the project browser ( found a bug btw, projects are stored in %appdata%\projects.xml instead of %appdata%\fahwatch\projects.xml, minor bug but a bug non the less ) so I can determine each non eue projects worth. Main thing I need to add to the parse is a watcher to add days to the timeframe's ( I got the start and end time but atm no way of checking how many full day's have passed, isn't hard to add though ). Andrew and I talked about it maybe being fun to even have each frame as timespan to base some graphs on, maybe seeing a way to monitor your speed makes it more fun for the people not direcly folding for the cause and everything which can make people more interested in the project is a good thing! ).

If no more bugs are found in this version I will make a thread at the folding forums as well, though I did already ask PG if I need to add more information to the eue reports and haven't gotten an answer . I'm also cleaning up here and there still, some functions are needlesly called twice ( check the debug messages trying to find if a client is local or not for one example ) and there are some functions without error handling and debug output at all. Don't want to make something which breaks without knowing where and how, the debug window has proven really usefull for finding errors I can't test locally.

Tbh, I would have made it in a language which can be compiled platform independantly if I was sure I could do everything with it .net/windows offers me. So you could say, it's a lack of skills from me that you're stuck for now with a windows version
Not to mention, if this runs on a windows machine, I'm pretty sure I can use remote wmi to gather more data from remote windows machines as well, making it more usefull then a straight port to linux would be don't you think?

[Shadowtester]

I guess I am not the typical folder all my machines are Linux based no Windows in the network and yes you can do it manually in Linux but a nice utility/tool all setup would be easier. I am a Linux user but I am far from a Linux master I keep learning more about it every day I guess with a little help I could setup a simple batch script to do all the log checking I am just not much of a programmer or script writer.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Well didn't I say the parsing loop is free to use for anyone? I posted it in the folding forums iirc, though it's been modified somewhat because of the bug reports, and I'm now working on the upload/download collection per client. When that's done I have no problems sharing that with anyone who wants to make a linux version. The structure used to hold all the data is also posted already, though again changes made due to bugs. and again when this is done that will be available as well to anyone who wants to port it or just wants to take a look.

[Shadowtester]

The big problem is my programming skills are limited to maybe a simple bash script that I wrote so I would not have to type the following in a terminal window.

cd /root/fah_gpu2
screen -A -m -d -S GPU2 nice -n10 wine Fah-GPU.exe -forcegpu nvidia_g80 -verbosity 9 -forceasm -advmethods

And then creating a shortcut to run that bash script from the desktop.

Nice work Marvin!!! I just installed the latest version. It's showing 140/1290 for an 11% EUE rate. Seems to be working as intended.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Thanks WFO

How long does it take for an full update, I will add something to tell you this but could you give me a guestimate?

[MikeB12]

mine takes 7.47 seconds from launch Marvin...

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Mhm to long to my liking, but remember I said only the first update needs to parse the entire log and I would change the subsequent updates to only work bottums up and quiting when it finds a wu already existing in the collection so it's acceptable I think.

I'm being told there are errors in the code where it seems to work for everyone else, but I can't locate the problem being reported. That pointed out to me again that I'm someone with a professional background in programming so there are probably pieces of code where things can go wrong which I do not spot ( or did spot but worked around in a non efficient way. So I asked myself: should I keep working on this alone when it seems the functionality is appriciated, knowing that I made it for a project allot of people participate in for reasons bigger then their own? The answer is no, I should not because I am truelly am not a professional programmer and if the intented usage of the application serves a purpose such as this it's better worked on by more people who hopefully and actually probably will be able to improve on my sloppy work allot making it even more usefull.

So I'm creating a google code page for it, and I would like to ask anyone interested to sign up and improve on it. Problem is, I got a google account and I can create a new project there I'm just totally unfamilliar with how I should set it up, wouldn't even know what license type I should choose. But I can ask someone about that, or someone here might be willing to help me?

[WFO]

Thanks WFO

It seems to take 20-22 seconds after launch for 22 clients. That's fine with me.

Edit: As a feature request I'd like to see it jump out of the tray only on finding new EUE's. It now leaves the tray every scheduled update even if nothing new is found so it's kind of like the "Little Boy that Cried Wolf."

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Oww that would mean adding a collection object.. could be done, but if you just raise the threshold value, wouldn't that work as well?
I mean, if you got 11% now, set it to show the main window on 12%. I know it's not the same, but as intermediary solution it's better then having to minimize the form each time.

Edit:

What you're requesting btw is not that hard, don't need to add another collection just have to change the parsing code in subsequent updates to work from the end of the log upwards untill it hits an existing wu in the collection. Atm, every update clears the collection and parses everything again, the only way to control the form showing is by setting a higher threshold value.

[Loony]

Just posting to let you know that this froze my computer. I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 SP1.

I'm going to give it another try in a second...

[Marvin_The_Martian]

I posted in your thread as well, doesn't work with fahSpy

[coo-coo-clocker]

Newest version working better Marvin. Nice work.
Still seeing some errors here:

Thanks for the reply. With the number of WUs I've completed that really would not help. In one update today I had 2 EUe's but added 24 WUs. The percentage stayed at 11%. I could change the update time to every hour. If a client went into an EUE cycle and limited out I wouldn't really lose that much. There is a race on and 45 extra minutes of folding counts right now.

Still seeing some errors here:

I haven't added enough debug output to check what's going wrong. It again looks like the same error as still reported by Riptide tonight, but as far as I can tell that's the same error as I fixed with Mike's feedback. I'm also not sure which version you're running ( I'll be adding that to the debug output soon ) but I assume you have 1.0.0.5 and I'm unsure about the error atm.

Riptide's fahlog.txt when run on my computer did not produce any errors, I'm afraid to ask you but can you attach the logfile for "\\Big-alien\Users\coo-coo\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu2\" so I can run it here?

I say I'm afraid to ask because it I am afraid it will be the same as Riptide and I can't reproduce it here, meaning I can't fix it

I really need to add more debug output but I been bussy all night with missed downloads, and am working on using queue.dat for stuck uploads.

Your request is added to my to do list

Already said it's not difficult, just allot of work and I use less then ten fingers for my typing around 8

That being said, I did just spend time trying to work around using queue.dat fruitlessly, there is just no way to be sure you have unfinished uploads without looking at that file as the log lists slots failing to upload but not slots which do upload, just - results succesfully send

[WFO]

Since you are recruiting people to help, isn't Uncle Fungus game? I would think he would want this as an added feature for Fahmon as well as being useful info for PG? Is there a link to a thread at F@H or is this all in the beta section?

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Beta section, I just today added this to my signature.

I can't deal with to many threads at the same time, afraid of having to deal with to many people

I did im UF if he wanted to help me put this on google code along with my long finished but unused installer ( well installer is finished but I refuse to continue on the control and monitor part ( though this project touches it abit ) because it seems like a waisted effort. I asked VP about changing the gkware mpich setup to a zip like deino so I can do everything without userinput but that was weeks back and I haven't heard a definitive answer, they needed to talk about it internaly was the answer I got. I am hoping by making it opensource that a> they will see the code is working as intended, b> it's worth their efforts changing the gkware into a zip and c> I will get help finishing the project.

UF is one of the people I do talk with allot about the problems I come across and the possible usage. fahinfo.org was one of my intened targets for offering an automatic upload function off ppd statistics for diffrent hw setups and when the project matures ( eg when I truelly implement everything I want to ) I think that will happen as well.

He did say he wanted to add some kind of eue parsing to fahmon in the future as well, and I actually always said that would be the best option as it's platform independant. But as long as he has not I will work on this, since my c++ skills are limited to understanding code I get infront of me, but the syntax is so diffrent then what I'm used to, even declarations of subs\functions\structures are allot diffrent.

Also, he uses wxwidgets and that's according to himself a real usefull class but also not the best to start with when learning c++.

[coo-coo-clocker]

Marvin, the version I ran for that report was 1.0.0.6
Here's the fahlog you requested:

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Same as with Riptide's reported error it's not duplicated when I run his log through the debugger. It just shows as an empty client ( which it is, not eue's no completed wu's it parses the log just fine though.

I can't fix what I can't duplicate

[Marvin_The_Martian]

1.0.0.7 posted on server. Also created a google code page but I'm quite stuck on how to proceed there atm. Change log included in post 1. Sorry WFO no new eue checks yet, that's next though had to look at some bug reports

No problem. It's probably my imagination but I don't think the client actually updates on the update check. It just leaps out of the tray. If I go 16-24 hours and shutdown and restart the client, it always shows new EUE's never seen in the updates. EUE rate still 11%. 156/1442.

Edit:

The new version comes up with a different count same percentage. 127/1174.

Well it won't leap without having a reason lol.

Btw, http://code.google.com/p/fahwatch/ I got me some help now so new fixes and updates should be comming allot quicker then up till now..

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Idk about the help I was thinking I would get, but I am working now on those requests. Allert on new EUE coming up tomorrow or the day after WFO, changing some gui options as well to be not dependant on fahmon clients list ( it can, but you will also be able to define your own list, as well as selecting wether or not to be allerted when a client isn't available ( as in network issues or w/e ). And the queue.dat reading for stuck uploads, idk if I can do that as quick though
