If you want to install a boinc client on it, please go ahead :-)

We are in need of some Linux machines. More than enough windoze up to now :-) I just attached 4 of my machines, all running ubuntu 6.06 w/ all patches: PII 366mhz P4 521 Athlon X24200+ Core 2 Duo E6600 I figured that would give a good variety of processors. I also have the following (not currently attached). If there is something in particular with one of these that you need to test for, just let me know. Pentium III 600mhz Pentium 4 530 Pentium 4 650 Pentium D 820 Pentium D 930 Pentium D 940 Pentium D 950 Xeon 5060 (x2) ____________ Dublin, CA Team SETI.USA |

Do you intend to move to 6.10? Yep, seems to be working just fine. I was mildly curious why zombie67 hadn't moved up. Thank you. |

Do you intend to move to 6.10? Maybe he already did... (6.10 was released late october and his post is from early septembre) ...but I can't aswer that question for you. ;-) ____________

Sorry. I moved my linux machines back to xp before 6.10 came out. So I stopped looking in on this thread.

Sorry. I moved my linux machines back to xp before 6.10 came out. So I stopped looking in on this thread. Was that work units getting an error and returning it to the projects server or was it the situation where the BOINC client and workunits are still executing, but are all sleeping and using no CPU time? I've seen the case where the BOINC client case just goes to sleep and leaves all the work units sleeping. They show up in top on Linux, but all use 0 % CPU time. In the BOINC forums, I've heard this blamed on Rosetta@Home and some people even say it happens under Windows too, but only rarely. With the 5.2.x or 5.4.x client, it could take several days or even weeks for the freeze to happen on Linux. With the Linux 5.7.x client, you could make this happen within hours by setting the BOINC preference for percentage of CPU used to something less than 100 percent. That causes the newer BOINC clients to put the project application to sleep and then wake it up every few seconds, so that it averages something in the vicinity of the CPU percentage you selected. My guess would be that either there's something being overwritten that trashes the sleep/wakeup phase or there's a memory leak somewhere. I have also personally seen this freeze occur on WinXP with a 5.8.x BOINC client, but it takes much longer. In all cases where I experienced it personally, the machines were running a mix of Rosetta and other projects. I don't recall seeing it happen on WinXP with the 5.2.x or 5.4.x clients, but it could just happen so rarely that rebooting WinXP because of monthly updates or new program installs happens first. ____________ The views expressed are my own.

Sorry. I moved my linux machines back to xp before 6.10 came out. So I stopped looking in on this thread. They think they finally found and fixed this for 5.8.4. The scheduling logic was looking in the wrong place for currently running status. So it would think a task was still running when it had actually been stopped. ____________ BOINC WIKI

That probably was the "ulimit" issue. If you want to go back to Ubuntu, 6.10 seems to run pretty well. Nope, I had fix implemented. This was not a problem unique to this project. All projects had the problem, across all linux machines. The jobs would just stall, and the activity monitor would show just the normal OS activity. Quitting and restarting BOINC would solve the issue...until it happened again a day or several days later. ____________ Dublin, CA Team SETI.USA |

When it comes out, maybe I'll make one of my amd X2 machines dual boot and give it a shot (64 bit too!). ____________ Dublin, CA Team SETI.USA |

Odd i just returned and got work for all of my machines I must be in the "HR" situation. One PD945 gets plenty of WUs, one PD805 doesn't.....close to same CPUs...?? My AMDs all get work...3700+, 2400+, 3400+ and Opteron.....all different CPUs...?? I don't know which CPUs are in which HR class. |

All my Linux machines are getting work - 1 AMD64, 1 Duron and 1 Celeron M. *grin* It always helps to grumble a bit. If nothing else, it makes you feel better. Sometimes, it even works. I think this is related to the rule that makes the phone ring with an important call while you're in the shower or have gone outside to the mailbox :-) Seriously, the problem sort of comes and goes, on both Linux and windows boxes. There are times when it seems to me like it's related to whether the CPU is AMD or Intel. It will be interesting when they get the new tool written to see what is really happening. ____________ The views expressed are my own.

Thanks! My "edit" and your response crossed paths. I'll be looking for the Web Page, to see what I have that I can add next for the most benefit. |
