Suspend tasks after checkpoint
(Message 104819)
Posted 17 Jul 2021 by PMH_UK Post: BOINCTasks from efmer can suspend at checkpoint, it waits about a minute after checkpoint before suspending. I suspend other long checkpoint tasks but allow short checkpoint ones to run. Paul. |

Questions and problems :
idle core with 7.16.6 on Linux - how to debug
(Message 104282)
Posted 2 May 2021 by PMH_UK Post: Lenovo E50-00 recently installed Ubuntu 20.04 with BOINC 7.16.6 worked OK for a while on WCG and Rosetta, using app_config to limit Rosetta and WCG MIP to 1 core max. Tried WCG OPNG but mostly invalids, few valid, app_config set to .4 GPU and .1 CPU for OPNG so 2 run. Turned GPU option off, re-booted and re-tried a few times. 2 OPNG run OK, taking some CPU from 4 CPU tasks. This weekend noticed only 3 cores running, re-booted and ran 4. Ran OK for a while, re-tried OPNG, bad, turn off, now only 3 cores running with no OPNG. What flags should I turn on to debug this? Paul. |

Automatic Temperature regulation
(Message 72213)
Posted 4 Sep 2016 by PMH_UK Post: You could try limiting to 1 core or 25% of CPUs to keep temperatures under control rather than running all cores 25% of the time. Paul. |

Questions and problems :
High Priority = Wrong Priority
(Message 36200)
Posted 24 Dec 2010 by PMH_UK Post:
I am also experiencing this with lots of DDDT in cache. Suspending some of the later tasks allowed normal running but resuming set high-priority again and task switched to much laster tasks. These tasks have 7 to 9 days to go and total estimated to run is under 5 days (222 hours dual-core). This behaviour does appear wrong, more so choosing much later tasks to run. Will try with debug. Win XP home, WCG BOINC 6.10.58, Intel dual-core, 2GB. Paul. |
