Message 37466 - Posted: 1 Dec 2018, 20:54:17 UTC

I installed BOINC/Virtualbox today to diversify my computing volunteering and I cannot seem to get LHC@home to do anything. In the manager all the workunits I've downloaded are currently "Ready to start" without any other activity. When I pop open the virtualbox manager There are no VMs showing up. So far I've tried: rebooting my computer, reinstalling BOINC, changing compute preferences to 'always' and nothing is hapening. Any Ideas of something to change? The event log isn't telling me anything useful either:

Hi ! What applications have you chosen here? https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/prefs.php?subset=project

Right now ATLAS is the only one that is providing work.

Message 37469 - Posted: 1 Dec 2018, 21:32:19 UTC - in response to Message 37466.  

If you use the projects default setting ATLAS will try to setup a 7-core VM.

12/1/2018 3:41:42 PM |  | max CPUs used: 7


This implies a memory configuration of (3000 + 900 * 7) MB = 9300 MB according to the RAM formula 3000 + 900 * #cores.



Your BOINC client allows all running tasks to use not more than 8158 MB (when your computer is active) which is less than the ATLAS configuration.

12/1/2018 3:41:42 PM |  | max memory usage when active: 8157.99 MB



You may set your memory configuration to a higher value.

I did not know the memory formula. I've increased my ram allocation and it is running now. Thanks
