1) Message boards : Questions and problems : selecting how many cores a project runs on (Message 18177)
Posted 3 Jul 2008 by RamCharger
Post:
with the future coming of CPU's having mult core's (8,16,500) on a chip - is there any plans/thought of having a way to select/control how many cores a project runs on, when available before running other project's if the first one is not available?

Do you mean as in this thread?

Or are you thinking about running one work unit on several cores at the same time?

I suppose he means limiting any specific project (with single-threaded tasks) to an independent number of cores, like: CPDN=1 (do not take it personally, Les ;-), Rosetta=2, Einstein=2, Seti=3, WCG=2, Superlink=1, uFluids=0.2, Hydrogen=1, etc.

A long lasting wish to be able to control the number of memory hogs launched in parallel or how many tasks some (often) mis-behaving app can launch concurrently. In addition to the Resource Share, which control the tasks distribution in other way.

my thinking was p1 runs on core 1 thru 10, p2 on 11 thru 20, etc w/ mult. copies of the application's going at the same time and if that p1 was down or not available that group of cores would run other projects until p1 is back up. was not thinking of one application running across mult cores.

i can tell BONIC has crashed because I have the task manager running and will see the cpu usage at zero when should be at 100%. also when maxing bonic there will be a message asking to connect to local host. that does not do anything and have to exit and restart to get everything going again.

only happing on one pc of a hand full that have current win updates done to them.

Rosetta looks to be the cause as reported below, after a day and a half of Rosetta being suspended, turn back on and w/ in a half a day BONIC would lock up, exit - restart all good again. have reset and suspended Rosetta for the weekend and next monday 12/4 will turn Rosetta back on to see if it fails again.

after re-loading/repair of bonic.exe and a system re-boot, still getting lost connections a few times a day. I am now trying halting new work one project at a time to see which one is the causing the trouble. will let you know what I find.

re-install/fix did not clear the problem. going to do a system re-boot (not been done lately). going to have a long weekend, hope it does not lock/lose connection. :(

there have been updates done, can't say if it was happing before or after.

I would "exit" and re-start and it would lose/fail to connect with in hours to a day later. repeating again and the same would happen w/in same time frame again.

11/21/06 did a re-install/repair in the AM and have yet to loose connection as of 15:00 est.
