Posted 3 days ago by Jean-David Beyer Post: The production version of OpenIFS in the T159 configuration doesn't use anywhere near 9Gb. Does not bother me either way since I upped my RAM on my Linux machine to 128 GBytes late last year. It has the 32-bit compatibility libraries on it, though they are not needed for OIFS programs.

I just got one of these on my little machine (Computer 1512658). It has a little over 1/2 hour on it now, So it did not crash on start-up. It predicts about 16 days to go. |

Posted 17 days ago by Jean-David Beyer Post: Next Weather@Home batches going out today. Same region, EAS25, as previous 1006 & 1007, so expect the same runtimes etc. My pipsqueak Windows 10 machine got one, Batch 1008. Predicting about 17 1/2 days, but it will probably finish in about half that time. It has about a half hour on it now. McAfee had no trouble with it. |

Should full credit be given for time on non successful tasks?
(Message 70692)
Posted 17 days ago by Jean-David Beyer Post: Note besides: Glenn, when will the announced RAM heavy CPDN WUs really come? 2024? 2025? I increased RAM for these WUs in October last year and still have not seen any… ;-) My big Linux box came with 32 GBytes of RAM with two memory modules. There are 8 memory slots in my box. As RAM prices came down, I bought two more memory modules and put them in, raising the RAM to 64 GBytes. Then I started getting a few 8GByte CPDN tasks with more to come. So when RAM prices dropped again, I got four more memory modules so I have 128GBytes in there now. DDR4 modules. My machine wouild take up to 512 GBytes of RAM were I to replace all the modules with the largest size. my processor chip has only 16896 KBytes of processor cache, so I do not think it would make sense to enable running more tasks like this at the same time. 16896 KBytes is fairly large for this kind of processor chip, but I run only 13 Boinc tasks at a time in winter and 8-12 in the summer. I have no AC. Actually, I have gotten no new work for CPDN since last June. ;=( Computer 1511241 CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2245 CPU @ 3.90GHz [Family 6 Model 85 Stepping 7] Number of processors 16 Operating System Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.9 (Ootpa) [4.18.0-513.18.1.el8_9.x86_64|libc 2.28] BOINC version 7.20.2 Memory 125.07 GB Cache 16896 KB |

Weather At Home 2 (wah2) (region independent) v8.29 crashed
(Message 70654)
Posted 16 Mar 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: One reason I like Linux better than Microsoft Windows is that when my Linux system has updates, there is a little pop-up informing me of that fact. It does not install the updates. I can get a list of the updates it wants to download and install. I can tell ahead of time if installing the updates will require a reboot or not. If not, i just install them. The main reason to do a reboot is if a new kernel needs to be installed. (Even if I install it, I can defer rebooting until a more opportune time.) So what I do is when I am going to reboot I stop fetching new work. I then suspend all the tasks that are ready to start. I wait until all running tasks have completed, reboot the system, resume the suspended processes, and resume the fetching new work. This keeps the problems down, but does not solve them completely. |

You start the perf program with the first line. When you think it has run long enough, you hit Control C. It then prints the results. The machine was doing this; i.e., mostly Boinc work -- 13 boinc tasks top - 17:56:27 up 11 days, 4:21, 2 users, load average: 13.58, 13.52, 13.51 Tasks: 483 total, 14 running, 469 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 0.4 us, 0.1 sy, 80.6 ni, 18.6 id, 0.0 wa, 0.2 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st MiB Mem : 128074.1 total, 2100.0 free, 6385.8 used, 119588.3 buff/cache MiB Swap: 15992.0 total, 15947.2 free, 44.8 used. 118485.6 avail Mem My actual results here are probably of no interest to readers here because none of the Boinc tasks were running any CPDN tasks. But if I ever get more, I will be able to see how they do. With that work load on my machine, a little over half the memory references were satisfied by the cache. |

Posted 6 Mar 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: I do wonder if faster RAM might help. Potentially I might need more than 32GB for some testing with OIFS even if on main site they are rationed to avoid problems with machines that don't have enough for multiple tasks. My machine has this memory at the moment. CPU type Genuine Intel - Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2245 CPU @ 3.90GHz [Family 6 Model 85 Stepping 7] Number of processors 16 Operating System Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.9 (Ootpa) [4.18.0-513.18.1.el8_9.x86_64|libc 2.28] BOINC version 7.20.2 Memory 125.07 GB [2933MHz DDR4] Cache 16896 KB It came with 32 GBytes but I doubled it a couple of times as prices for RAM came down. I guess it is no longer state-of-the-art (if it ever was), but it is several years old now, so there must surely be faster machines out there now. I cannot put faster RAM in there, but I could run it up to 512 GBytes if someone would send me the money to do it. I doubt there is much point to doing that, since my L3 cache is 16384 Kbytes, which is pretty good for that kind of processor chip, I got all that RAM to run all those OIFS tasks that I have not received since last June, IIRC. |

Posted 22 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: Yes, as I said in my earlier message. For some reason I sometimes have to try 'Add File' twice on the same file before it appears on the page. Probably a bug or McAfee being slow. Try it again, it does work. OK: I put it back and tried ten times to exclude it from scanning, but it never appeared in the list. |
