41) Message boards : News : NWChem long no longer in beta soon (Message 655) Posted 3 Mar 2020 by swiftmallard Post: My little Windows machine happily crunches the short units without any issues we haven't discussed many times before. I was hoping the long ones might boost my RAC a little but they don't so I am happy taking whatever I get.
42) Message boards : Number crunching : Only getting a few WU (Message 634) Posted 28 Feb 2020 by swiftmallard Post: DavidBAM has computers with more than 1 thousand processors , so the default settings of the project have to be adapted for his profile. 2400 processors in a single pc!! How it is possible?? 52 computers. I come up with over 65,000 total processors on 52 machines. If each core got one WU, that would be more than 10% of all the available work.
43) Message boards : News : NWChem long no longer in beta soon (Message 614) Posted 25 Feb 2020 by swiftmallard Post: This Windows cruncher would be happy to work on some of those tasks, beta or otherwise.
44) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Creating a dual boot system (Message 594) Posted 18 Feb 2020 by swiftmallard Post: Does anyone have any advice on creating a dual boot system, Linux onto a Windows 10 machine? I'm looking for such info as which Linux version, partition size on a 256G SSD (125 GB free), and other options I don't even know enough to ask about yet. My aim here is to be able to crunch more effectively for this project (read: without the encumbrances of VirtualBox), and use it as a vehicle to learn Linux in general.

46) Message boards : Number crunching : Pending Validation (Message 513) Posted 7 Feb 2020 by swiftmallard Post: I am seeing WUs that are marked as a validate error, but my wingman and I each received credit for them. I've never seen that before in any project. Is this part of doing a re-validate on all the WUs?
47) Message boards : Number crunching : Pending Validation (Message 492) Posted 4 Feb 2020 by swiftmallard Post: I am seeing credits coming through.
48) Message boards : News : Credits and Gridcoin (Message 469) Posted 30 Jan 2020 by swiftmallard Post: I have always thought fixed credits are the way to go. Sounds like a good plan.
49) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : How to install BOINC on Mint and Ubuntu (Message 466) Posted 29 Jan 2020 by swiftmallard Post: Is there any advantage in creating a partition on my hard drive, installing Linux on it, and running Boinc from there?
50) Message boards : News : Updates and poll (Message 456) Posted 16 Jan 2020 by swiftmallard Post: Despite I prefer the "two app solution (big wus/small wus)", i voted for the choice 2 (only big simulation), because i think that admins (they are only 2, with a lot of other work commitments) cannot manage a too complex situation, with different apps, with different bugs, etc. I agree completely
51) Message boards : Number crunching : Calculations and time (Message 435) Posted 14 Jan 2020 by swiftmallard Post: Abort it, the result will be invalid anyway. With the od9 WUs, I abort anything that takes longer than 8 hours. But be aware that when the next batch of WUs begins, there will be changes in how we need to look at this issue. Hopefully, it will not exist!
52) Message boards : News : Updates and poll (Message 432) Posted 14 Jan 2020 by swiftmallard Post: Option #2 sounds good!
53) Message boards : Number crunching : Very little CPU usage (Message 397) Posted 8 Jan 2020 by swiftmallard Post: Do we abort long running tasks stuck at 100% for 2 days? Seems an absolute waste of time and electricity. Can this issue be fixed? I abort any WU taking longer than 12 hours to complete. Haven't been sorry yet.
54) Message boards : Number crunching : New error message (Message 379) Posted 3 Jan 2020 by swiftmallard Post: NWChem 0.11 (vbox64_t1) od9_0_athome_b3lyp-321gd,batch13,dsgdb9nsd_007938,nwchem,1576614012 Postponed: VM environment needed to be cleaned up Needed to be clean up? I've never seen this message before. Is it distinct from unmanageable?
55) Message boards : Number crunching : Checkpoint? (Message 377) Posted 24 Dec 2019 by swiftmallard Post: A native Windows app will be welcome!! :-) I agree wholeheartedly!
56) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 368) Posted 20 Dec 2019 by swiftmallard Post: the record on the server for valid WU is more than 10 days. But aborting WU after 24h is a good rule of thumb in general ! With the od9 units, I abort anything running longer than 12 hours.
57) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 339) Posted 10 Dec 2019 by swiftmallard Post: I have a work unit that has ran elapsed time of 23 days. I got to looking at the properties and it is just over 1 day of CPU time. However, it has locked down that CPU thread this entire time from other BOINC work. The progress kept going so I wanted to watch it for observation. Quite frankly one of the reasons I hate virtualbox projects. That one would have been aborted 22 days ago, I've never had one complete successfully for longer than 21 hours.
58) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit (Message 334) Posted 6 Dec 2019 by swiftmallard Post: I agree, Credit_New is horrible. I would rather things stay as they are before doing that.
59) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 330) Posted 6 Dec 2019 by swiftmallard Post: Now 99.957% after 33h. Seems to slow down at the end. I've aborted two like this. Despite ~53K seconds of running time, there was only 60 seconds of CPU time on one, 19 seconds on the other. Both showed as 99.999% completed.
60) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 324) Posted 5 Dec 2019 by swiftmallard Post: The time estimates on these new WUs are far more accurate than before.
