1) Message boards : BOINC client : macOS Sierra not telling BOINC client about idleness (Message 72609) Posted 23 Sep 2016 by Jon Fox Post: I am running BOINC 7.6.33/macOS Sierra (v10.12) on a 21.5 inch, late 2013 iMac and haven't seen any anomolous idle detection behavior in the 24-hours since the OS installation. I'll continue to monitor the client and report any issues. -- Jon
2) Message boards : BOINC client : MacOS Sierra release today (Message 72608) Posted 23 Sep 2016 by Jon Fox Post: Idle detection appears to be working in my setup, as of right now. I'll continue to monitor the behavior and report any issues. -- Jon

8) Message boards : BOINC client : BM Not Adhering to app_config.xml Settings for CPU and GPU Usage (Message 59939) Posted 23 Jan 2015 by Jon Fox Post: I deleted and rebuilt the app_config.xml file from scratch and it is now appears to be properly processed by the client. It appears that the file was corrupted in some way but not to the point that the client didn't recognize it as an app_config file: *1/22/2015 4:23:17 PM \| Collatz Conjecture \| Found app_config.xml* 1/22/2015 4:23:17 PM \| primaboinca \| Found app_config.xml 1/22/2015 4:23:17 PM \| Milkyway@Home \| Found app_config.xml 1/22/2015 4:23:17 PM \| Moo!

9) Message boards : BOINC client : BM Not Adhering to app_config.xml Settings for CPU and GPU Usage (Message 59937) Posted 23 Jan 2015 by Jon Fox Post: Claggy, Thanks for double checking my app_config settings on your system. I checked (and double checked) the location of my collatz app_config file and it is in the location that you listed. I do run collatz on a OS X machine (7.4.36 client) as well with no issues so I reported this under the possibility that there was an issue unique to the Windows version of the client. Given your testing I will close-down this thread until I can find a more defensible root cause -- I'll report back here when I find something. Thanks again for the troubleshoot assistance. -- jon
10) Message boards : BOINC client : BM Not Adhering to app_config.xml Settings for CPU and GPU Usage (Message 59926) Posted 22 Jan 2015 by Jon Fox Post: I recoded the app_config file per the standard but it appears the client continues to use the default cpu and gpu usage values. I am attempting to allow two solo_collatz WUs to run concurrently and reserve one (1) full cpu in support of the gpu WUs. BTW, I also tried stopping the client (and WUs) and restarting to make sure the config files were being re-read, just in case.

12) Message boards : BOINC client : BM Not Adhering to app_config.xml Settings for CPU and GPU Usage (Message 59922) Posted 22 Jan 2015 by Jon Fox Post: UPDATE: As it happens a new Collatz WU has recently started and is now running with what appears to be the same issue (I don't have the "user_friendly_name" tag in the Collatz app_config file. BTW, this behavior began to appear after I upgraded to 7.4.36 -- I had not seen it in earlier releases with the same app_config file.

15) Message boards : Questions and problems : "Use GPU when the computer is used" not working anymore (Message 59659) Posted 14 Jan 2015 by Jon Fox Post: This may (or may not) be related but I just submitted a scenario to the simulator where since upgrading to 7.4.36 I been unable to get the client to enforce the wu preferences/definitions set in app_config.xml. I have been using the app_config file to reserve a full cpu for the collatz gpu wu (solo_collatz) -- effectively running three (3) cpu wu's on a hyperthreaded two cpu processor with the remaining cpu reserved for usage by the gpu wu. "Read config files", when invoked, reports "found app_config.xml" with no errors (I've also turned on the "unparsed xml" log flag which is not reporting anything to the log). -- jon
16) Message boards : BOINC client : OS X 6.13.10 Testing (Message 41236) Posted 20 Nov 2011 by Jon Fox Post: Update: Changed the running environment to no longer leave the core client and event log windows open (closed event log and minimized core client). While the memory usage continues to grow over time (days), it does not dramatically increase above 1GB in a matter of 3-4 days. In fact, it ran minimized for ten days -- increasing memory usage from a start-up amount of ~32MB to an ending/shutdown amount of ~350MB. After upgrading to the 6.13.12 core client: I also did some monitoring of CPU utilization with and without the Event Log window open. It appears that the Event Log is the largest factor in CPU usage. With the primary and Event Log windows open, I continue to see 3-4% CPU utilization. Closing the Event Log window reduces the CPU utilization to <0.5%. -- Jon

In fact, the client appears to have died today and I've seen similar terminations of this version since the initial install. I'll try to find some time to research the logs and post them as part of this thread. Thanks, Jon
