the message i left on the cosmology forum

HI

about a week ago i upgraded to, VirtualBox Graphical User Interface
Version 5.1.14 r112924 (Qt5.6.2) and am now running work units for several projects that use VB successfully.

is there any reason the installer is still using an older version? I realise you have no control over what the BOINC developers release.

Download BOINC + VirtualBox
for Windows 64-bit (91.56 MB)
BOINC 7.6.33, VirtualBox 5.0.18

perhaps from you, in your position as a project, developer you can influence the BOINC developers to include the current VB in the installer.

this topic is found on all / most of the projects that use virtual box . there seams to be no agreed upon solution. the most common suggestion is to go to a 5.1.** build of Vbox but some cautioning not to go too new.

Hi

sorry did not realize the link had gone bad, fixed.
it has been over a year since i posted last and 5 or 6 since i did any testing do not for the life of me remember how to set flags ect. will try again after the holiday and see what happens.

reloaded 7.0.64 workes fine

i had tried suspending both of the above projects and it just went to the next project that was in "most need" and continued in the same manner as this project had no work either

8) Message boards : Questions and problems : unit should be in panic, but not (Message 48026)
Posted 3 Mar 2013 by Stanley A Bourdon
Post:
Hi

I have a yafu unit that downloaded saying it needed a little under 2 hours to complete(so less than 14 hours cpu time). It is a (mt). It has run for just over 9 hours (so almost 24 hours CPU time). It is past due and not "running high priority". Estimated time remaining is ---. Apparently the scheduler has no clue how to handle this situation.

is there a fix?

Hi

sorry for the terminology error.

I am running 7.0.28 64

is there a stable enough version at or beyond v7.0.31 that i could run I am not ready to commit to being a tester again at this time.

thank you

Post:
Hi

I understand that burp is hyper threaded there are at least 2 others ( simone, and yafu ) that do this.

Why does this keep the GPU from working especially with the collatz units that run fine with all 8 cores running single thread units.

Are there any changes being worked on to limit them to some number of cores less than all.

A work around was described. It seams to be too much work to use in my situation.

Actually yafu doesn't need all 8 cores to run..... if you trick it!

1. set all projects to no new work.
2. set ncpus in cc_config to # of cores you want to use for yafu. (5 or more)
3. read cc_config for change to take effect.
4. allow new work for yafu.
5. bump minimum work buffer up by 2 days in preferences.
6. downloaded yafu WUs only need # of cores entered in step 2, not all 8.
7. set ncpus back to 8 and repeat step 3.
8. drop minimum work buffer down by 2 days.
8. allow new work for other desired projects.
9. set yafu to no new work otherwise new WUs will take all 8 cores.
10. if needed, suspend any running tasks for a few seconds to get yafu started.

This will keep you crunching yafu for a couple of days and allow GPU and other CPU tasks to run as well. I have not tried setting ncpus to 4 or less. It may allow multiple yafu tasks to run at the same time and defeat the goal. This process takes a few minutes and it would be far better if yafu had a way to select the # of cores in project preferences. Another method is to fire up a virtual machine with the number of cores you want for yafu.

Hi

I have a Burp unit running using all 8 CPU. I have 2 seti beta (0.995 CPUs + 1 ATI GPU) and 2 collatz conjecture (0.01 CPUs + 1 ATI GPU) not running.
My memory is that with the other projects that took all 8 CPU the GPU still ran units.

Is this the way it is meant to work? If so why? If not is it being worked on?

thank you

Well, at least:
11/15/2012 8:53:52 AM | | ATI GPU 0: ATI Radeon HD 5x00 series (Redwood) (CAL version 1.4.556, 1024MB, 992MB available, 880 GFLOPS peak)

CAL version 1.4.556 is Catalysts 10.3, which is quite old.
It's even too old for OpenCL 1.1 compliancy, as that requires at least 10.7 (1.4.737). Your GPU is an OpenCL 1.1 GPU.

Everything is yelling at you that it needs OpenCL capability, but your GPU does not support it. It's because BOINC didn't find any OpenCL capable GPU:
11/15/2012 8:53:52 AM | | App version needs OpenCL but GPU doesn't support it

And that's back to a problem with the drivers.

Try to install a bit more up-to-date ones, first. No need to try the latest, but something more up-to-date than 10.3, please. See Previous Catalystâ„¢ Display Drivers for Windows Vista/7 (64 bit) for a list of drivers.

I'll leave you back in the very capable hands of Claggy. I was just posting what I saw.


thank you for the link it was on my to do list to address that problem. world community grid now runs and the display looks better also

Hi

I got bam to send preferences to the computer but i am also attached to non bam projects and they override the bam settings.

i thought that was fixed years ago and possibly the fix was the local override which i have reconfigured. now must let things clear to see what it is doing

sorry for being a bit dense i went to set and forget about 6 years ago. I am now more engaged again but much has changed in the intervening years.

and now down to 5 CPU running 1 waiting to start 3 idle CPU

and it just keeps getting more interesting
suspended the unit in panic mode and the unit waiting to start started on all 8
should a project be able to do that?
this is the unit

and for the GPU again

just checked and from completion of unit to finished download was 485 seconds so this time at least 485 seconds idle

Hi

the situation is no better
currently the GPU is not working but searching for a WU only 3 projects send work to my ATI card world community grid (all fail), Moo! Wrapper (works fine), Collatz Conjecture (works fine)
the behavior as i see it a GPU unit runs, finishes, than the scheduler tries to get another one. So the GPU is not being used during that time.

just checked and from completion of unit to finished download was 169 seconds so this time at least 169 seconds idle
just checked and from completion of unit to finished download was 142 seconds so this time at least 142 seconds idle

as i was composing this the cpu only had 5 units to work on. It is now full but no extra units are waiting to run. and a unit finished was uploaded and the scheduler is now searching for a WU with one instance of the CPU idle. At this time i have one unit in panic mode but this is same the behavior i see even when all are in normal running

just checked and from completion of unit to finished download was 82 seconds so this time at least 82 seconds idle


an additional situation has now arisen
i have a WU waiting to run but only 7 cores being utilized ( this may be due to the WU in panic mode)

and now 6 running 1 waiting and not trying to get more so 2 cpu idle

I am attached to 94 projects about 20 of them are suspended or otherwise non functional.

thease are the settings i have at BAM
