62) Message boards : Number crunching : Never ending tasks (Message 1400) Posted 31 Mar 2021 by Tullio Post: Mine is a Windows 10 machine with an Intel i5 CPu and I am number 27 in the RAC ranking list. But I have also a Linux Virtual Machine with SuSe Tumbleweed development OS and a 5.11.6 kernel. But since it is enlisted in Science United it does not give me any credit when it runs nwchem. Tullio
63) Message boards : Number crunching : Never ending tasks (Message 1398) Posted 31 Mar 2021 by Tullio Post: If a task takes too long a time I always check the Properties button and if CPU usage is zero I abort it. If one or more tasks signal that VM is unmanegeable I exit from BOINc and restart it. Tullio
64) Message boards : Number crunching : issing (Message 1390) Posted 20 Mar 2021 by Tullio Post: I've noticed that most of the Linux hosts that are faster than my Windows 10 PC using Virtual Box have a small number of processors, while those with a high number of processors are often slower. Do they lack enough memory? My Intel i5 9400F CPU has only six processors and 12 GB RAM. Tullio
65) Message boards : Number crunching : Validate error- Work Unit (Message 1372) Posted 24 Feb 2021 by Tullio Post: I have installed a Linux Virtual Machine using SuSE Tumbleweed. which is a development version, frequently updated on a Windows 10 host. Its kernel is now 5.10.16-1 default.Since I have left it enlisted in Science United just for curiosity, I cannot choose the projects it runs. But when it runs nwchem it runs well.My other Linux box, an old HP laptop, runs SuSE Leap 15.0. Its BOINC is 7.8.3. Tullio
66) Questions and Answers : Getting started : OS clarification (Message 1352) Posted 13 Feb 2021 by Tullio Post: My VirtualBox is 6.11.18 and it works perfectly also on Atlas tasks at LHC@home where it uses two processors. Tullio
67) Message boards : Number crunching : issing (Message 1346) Posted 12 Feb 2021 by Tullio Post: My Intel i5 9400F CPU is listed as 6 processors, meaning it has three cores. Tullio
68) Message boards : Number crunching : issing (Message 1342) Posted 12 Feb 2021 by Tullio Post: I have two funny results on tasks completed and validated. Task 2313002 has a running time of 662,00 s and a CPU time of 3972,00 s. Idem for task 2112787. Tullio
69) Message boards : Number crunching : issing (Message 1337) Posted 7 Feb 2021 by Tullio Post: Yet I am number 37 in the ranking list with 2 PCs, one very average with Windows and one old and slow in Linux, plus a Linux Virtual Machine running on an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 CPU, my fastest CPU which does not give me any credit since it is enlisted in Science United. I am rather astonished by the i5 9400F CPU with only 6 processors which runs Windows 10. Tullio
70) Message boards : Number crunching : issing (Message 1335) Posted 7 Feb 2021 by Tullio Post: I am running also nwchem on a Linux Virtual machine with SuSE Tumbleweed and kernel 5.10.12-1 which the Suse development version. But since it is enlisted in Science United its credits go to Science United, which has rank number 5 in the ranking list.So I don't know my contribution.. I have done so far 226 tasks on this Virtual Machine. Tullio
71) Message boards : Number crunching : issing (Message 1334) Posted 5 Feb 2021 by Tullio Post: OK, I am listed again as number 40. Not bad for an Intel i5 9400F running the home edition of Windows 10 and VirtualBox and an old Linux laptop with AMD E-450 and SuSE Leap 15.0. Tullio
72) Message boards : Number crunching : issing (Message 1333) Posted 5 Feb 2021 by Tullio Post: My recent credit is 1998.87. Why I am not in the credits list? Tullio
73) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Linux vs Windows (Message 1317) Posted 18 Jan 2021 by Tullio Post: I am running nwchem on a SuSE Tumbleweed with kernel 5.10.7-1-default. Tullio
74) Message boards : Number crunching : Host ID 1388 corrupted (Message 1304) Posted 1 Jan 2021 by Tullio Post: My old HP laptop with BOINC 7.8.3 and SuSE Leap 15.0, although horribly slow on its AMD E-450 CPU completes and validates its tasks. Tullio
75) Message boards : Number crunching : Never ending tasks (Message 1294) Posted 27 Dec 2020 by Tullio Post: I have 64 tasks waiting for validation on my Windows 10 PC using VirtualBox.My Linux Virtual Machine with SuSE Tumbleweed development version enlisted in Science United is running nwchem on its 5.10.1 kernel with no problem and no credits for me. tullio
76) Message boards : Number crunching : Ubuntu 20.04.1 does not validate (Message 1289) Posted 25 Dec 2020 by Tullio Post: Got kernel 5.10.1 on my SuSE Linux Virtual Machine enlisted in Science United. All tasks seem to run well. Tullio
77) Message boards : Number crunching : Host ID 1388 corrupted (Message 1272) Posted 20 Dec 2020 by Tullio Post: I have a number of tasks with "impossible to validate" result. This because all wingmen have failed to validate. Then I have other tasks with "validation inconclusive". Then I have some "waiting for validation". I am using a Windows 10 PC with Virtual Box and an old Linux laptop with SuSE Leap 15.0. My RAC rank is now 44 and I am satisfied with this result. I have left only a Linux Virtual Machine on a Windows host running SuSE Tumbleweed with kernel 5.9.14 which does not give me any credit because it is enlisted in Science United. I have seen the BOINC home page with great emphasis on Science United. I have processed 44491 Milkyway@home tasks without getting a single credit and I abandoned Science United except the Linux Virtual Machine. Tullio
78) Message boards : Number crunching : Host ID 1388 corrupted (Message 1245) Posted 18 Dec 2020 by Tullio Post: I have a very average CPU, an Intel i5 9400F running Windows 10 and an old HP laptop with an AMD E-450 CPU running SuSE Leap 15.0. Yet I am number 44 in RAC rank. My other CPU, a Linux Virtual Maxchine with SuSE Tumbleweed and kernel 5.9.14 is enlisted in Science United and does not contribute to my credits, but I see it running nwchem. Tullio
79) Message boards : Number crunching : Host ID 1388 corrupted (Message 1242) Posted 18 Dec 2020 by Tullio Post: My Linux Virtual Machine enlisted in Science United has a 5.9.14 kernel and runs nwchem. Tullio
80) Message boards : Number crunching : Ubuntu 20.04.1 does not validate (Message 1238) Posted 16 Dec 2020 by Tullio Post: My SuSE Tumbleweed kernel is 5.9.12 and Torvalds has just released 5.10. Tullio
