in BOINCTasks I see 300-400mb per task in Ubuntu 24 but when I check the system with top or free I do not the same thing. Is the wrong amount reported to BOINC or is it not visible to the OS? |

Again whats up with the reported memory usage with docker. With today's batch of Docker tasks I have a PC that had tasks climb to a reported 25.5 GB of system memory while htop only reported 20GB total used from all processes. While the reported memory rose, there was no increase reported by htop. I had several CPDN tasks running using 1.4GB each so that's where the actual memory usage went, not from these docker tasks. Other PCs report between 500-600 mb, an ensure 25GB less. Edit: I was downloading some more CPDN tasks on another PC, and what was 500-600mb reported usage all of a sudden start to shoot up to multiple GB per task and tasks started to suspend due to supposed lack of memory. I was also running a few Yafu tasks as well (4 threads per) which use like 60mb per so it was just the interaction of some other projects causing the bogus memory usage. |
