Questions and problems :
resource share - again
(Message 104920)
Posted 2 Aug 2021 by Photonic-Electron Post: I see this keeps coming up but it seems to be a rather muddy issue that perhaps needs some clarity. I see that all answers to "I want to make my projects play nice together" is go to the projects own web page and change your settings there. Well I'm sorry to say but this does not work. I am trying like everyone to get my projects to play together. This would greatly benefit the projects because from my limited understanding multithreading relies partly on the fact that different parts of one CPU can be used at the same time for different things, but if all my CPU's are trying to crunch the same job they are likely all fighting over the same bit of the same CPU. The other issue is that even with idle priority some projects are just heavier and also take more RAM. The result is that I just have to cut back access to my resources for all! If I got better sharing I could run more threads and on a smaller machine would not exceed the ram with say rosetta which seems to be more ram hungry than WCG. So I just looked at my rosetta settings and they are set at 7% CPU count. Well that one clearly never worked! Last time I went in there was literally years ago, like nearly a decade. I have tried changing the resource share in any config file I can find it in but they just reset back to 100. Would it not make a lot of sense to have control of the resource share from within the boinc manager in a way that overrides the project pages own settings? clearly the projects managing their own access to resources is a, well, conflict of interest and to me it looks like it is hurting everyone and people are spending quite a bit of time trying to sort out just that. |
