41) Message boards : Number crunching : Very little CPU usage (Message 392) Posted 6 Jan 2020 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: Is this the behavior people are talking about? Yes I have a bunch of WUs not using any CPU whatsoever but still running. Kill these wus
42) Message boards : Number crunching : Native Multi-Threading (Message 383) Posted 4 Jan 2020 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: Just ignore this user. They make the same comment at every BOINC project like GPUs are some voodoo magic. I'm a long time boinc user (and team admin) I know that gpus are not the solution for everything. But also know that, when projects can use gpu, they have GREAT benefit.

45) Message boards : Number crunching : Checkpoint? (Message 362) Posted 18 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: One hope, is to get a funding grant or an enthusiastic volunteer. I know you are using NWChem (is open source), but have you modified the code for this project? If yes, please, publish the github link, so maybe volunteers can help you (like, in the past, Tn-Grid, Poem and other projects).
46) Message boards : Number crunching : Native Multi-Threading (Message 356) Posted 17 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: NWChem that is used here for the calculations of the molecules, profit from multithreading only with bigger molecules. I don't know if NWChem supports gpu calculation (CUDA or, better, OpenCL), but this may be a great improvement...
47) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 341) Posted 10 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: The progress kept going so I wanted to watch it for observation. Quite frankly one of the reasons I hate virtualbox projects. Now i'm crunching with my 4 cores mobile pc (that is costantly under control) and i'm tented to try this project on my 24 cores Xeon. But this machine is not constantly observed by me, so i'm afraid of wasting time....
48) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 336) Posted 9 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: 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. I've got a lot of these. Start very quickly, slow down and after 7hs of run, the cpu is at 0% of use and cpu time (in wu properties) is 18 seconds Mmmm, the app code needs debug?
49) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 328) Posted 6 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: And this one is at 94% after 12hs. Seems to be "variable" Now 99.957% after 33h. Seems to slow down at the end.
50) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 326) Posted 5 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: however, as last time I put a almost random value (in number of operations). Yeap And this one is at 94% after 12hs. Not shorter than before :-P Seems to be "variable"
51) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 322) Posted 4 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: because from now the AI will try to find and push the frontier of known chemistry. Sounds exciting
52) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 321) Posted 4 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: The "od9" that fail (with a Validate error) usually do so quickly, in about a half-minute. It is really no problem. Only 1 error (the first wu). Now, 9 wus crunched without problems.
53) Message boards : Number crunching : New wus (Message 316) Posted 3 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: New wus (od9_athome) seems to be shorter than before (dsgdb9nsd_nwchem). But my first wu of this batch....validation error!!
54) Message boards : Number crunching : No work? (Message 311) Posted 2 Dec 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: We are working on the next batch. We have to choose between some compromises. Maybe a compromise will include a gpu client :-P
55) Message boards : Number crunching : Monster wu (Message 304) Posted 27 Nov 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: 89935 Completed after 33hs. I need a cpu with more IPC!!
56) Message boards : Number crunching : Monster wu (Message 296) Posted 19 Nov 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: Another big boy 8% after 37hs. Continue to crunch or abort??
57) Message boards : Science : Preliminary results? (Message 257) Posted 6 Nov 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: We have calculated roughly 130 k over 200 k thanks to your help! For December we hope to propose to the community to calculate new molecules that maybe don't even exist and are not stable in order to help machine learning tool to generalize better. Those new molecules will be generated by a machine learning procedure. Too long to explain here right now. Great!! We are ready!
58) Message boards : Number crunching : Misconfigured Machine? (Message 244) Posted 3 Nov 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: It doesn't matter to me. He is not watching his machine. Yes, probably unattended machine..
59) Message boards : Science : Preliminary results? (Message 243) Posted 2 Nov 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: The first month of project has gone. Any preliminary results? Is the code ok? Do you need more computational power??
60) Message boards : Number crunching : Misconfigured Machine? (Message 241) Posted 2 Nov 2019 by [VENETO] boboviz Post: I am sure there are a lot of these. No valids, only errors. https://quchempedia.univ-angers.fr/athome/results.php?hostid=112 Misconfigured or not capable? NOTE: VirtualBox has reported an improperly configured virtual machine. It was configured to require hardware acceleration for virtual machines, but your processor does not support the required feature.
