[edit] General
Message Type: Error Message
This message is one of the series of messsages that gives the Participant the results of the latest Benchmark Test. In the case of this specific message the BOINC Daemon stopped the running of the Benchmark Test because it was taking too long.
Possible reasons for this include:
- An above normal regular workload is running on the computer at the same time that the BOINC Daemon is trying to run the Benchmark.
- One or more of the Science Applications failed to halt in the time allocated.
- There is an abnormal process (program) running on the computer and taking an above normal amount of CPU Time.
- Hardware failures.
[edit] Version Information
- None.

[edit] CPU Benchmarks Timed Out, Using Default Values
The reason for this failure is not known for sure. The suspicion is that there was a "permissions error" on the BOINC Directory.

Line-By-Line Explanation
- Running CPU benchmarks
- The start of the Benchmark process.
- CPU benchmarks timed out, using default values
- Woops! We failed!
- Benchmark results:
- This Information Message indicates that the results of the Benchmark Tests follow.
- Number of CPUs: '(Nbr_of_CPUs)'
- This Information Message tells you the number of CPUs tested during the Benchmark Test. In my opinion, this is the most important number returned by the Benchmark Test. It is the one that tells you how many processors you have in your computer, at least as far as the BOINC Daemon is concerned. If you have a single Physical Processor then it should say "1". If you have a dual processor system it should say "2". If you have a Hyper-Threaded processor it should say "2" as there are two "Logical" Processors in the one Physical Processor.
- XXXX double precision MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
- This Information Message tells you the number of MIPS achieved during the benchmark testing of the Floating Point Unit using the Whetstone Benchmark. The number of "MIPS" completed in a unit time frame (in "x" seconds) is a reasonable measurement of the efficiency of the Floating Point Unit.
- YYYY integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU
- This Message tells you the number of MIPS achieved during the benchmark testing of the Arithmetic and Logic Unit's (ALU) (Integer) speed using the Dhrystone Benchmark. The number of "MIPS" completed in a unit time frame (in "x" seconds) is a reasonable measurement of the efficiency of the Arithmetic and Logic Unit.
- Finished CPU benchmarks
- This Message indicates that the running of the Benchmark Test is over and normal processing will start.
- Resuming computation and network activity
- This Message indicates that the normal running of the BOINC Client Software will begin. This message is simply a statement that the BOINC Daemon is now ready to go back to work doing processing of a Work Unit (or more) using one of the Science Applications instead of being Off-Line and doing the speed test.
