My client is configured to run 4-Core-WUs, but this WU uses 8 Threads (Cores): Supporting BOINC, a great concept ! |

A very old error type. It is caused by a misconfigured task (or complete batch) and can only be fixed by the project team. If the VM has enough RAM to satisfy all running threads the tasks will most likely finish successfully but you may notice an efficiency drop. |

Am I reading it wrong or does the ~50 % CPU usage indicate that it is actually using 4 cores and running 2 athena.py processes on each? But it is a fault anyway. |

... does the ~50 % CPU usage indicate that it is actually using 4 cores and running 2 athena.py processes on each? That's exactly what it shows. As Yeti wrote it was a 4-core setup running 8 threads (and meanwhile it finished successfully): 2019-02-05 17:07:29 (24100): Setting CPU Count for VM. (4) . . . 2019-02-05 21:42:12 (24100): VM Completion File Detected. 2019-02-05 21:42:12 (24100): Powering off VM. 2019-02-05 21:42:13 (24100): Successfully stopped VM. From the host's perspective there shouldn't have been any negative observations. The OS inside the VM had to handle lots of context switches hence a performance penalty. |

I have a currently running Atlas task doing the same thing. Yeti's log for that work unit is a bit strange, see below. It looks like it was trying to set ATHENA_PROC_NUMBER=4 but ??? 2019-02-05 17:10:31 (24100): Guest Log: Copying inCpuotp yfiinlge si nipnutto fRiulneAst lianst.o 2019-02-05 17:10:31 (24100): Guest Log: tlas. 2019-02-05 17:10:31 (24100): Guest Log: Copied input files into RunAtlas. 2019-02-05 17:10:31 (24100): Guest Log: Copied input files into RunAtlas. 2019-02-05 17:14:54 (24100): Guest Log: cocpieodp itheed wtehbea pwpe btaopp /tvoa r//vwwawr/ 2019-02-05 17:14:54 (24100): Guest Log: w 2019-02-05 17:14:54 (24100): Guest Log: TThhiiss vvmm ddooeess nnoott nneeeedd ttoo sseettuupp hhttttpp pprrooxxyy 2019-02-05 17:14:54 (24100): Guest Log: TThhiiss vvmm ddooeess nnoott nneeeedd ttoo sseettuupp hhttttpp pprrooxxyy 2019-02-05 17:14:54 (24100): Guest Log: ATTHHEENNAA__PPRROOCC__NNUUMMBBEERR==44 2019-02-05 17:14:54 (24100): Guest Log: ATTHHEENNAA__PPRROOCC__NNUUMMBBEERR==44 2019-02-05 17:14:54 (24100): Guest Log: StartinSg tATrLtAiSn gj oAbT.LAS (jPoanbd.a I(PDa=n4d2a3I4D9=2442439459 2t4a4s9kI5D t=a1s6k9I3D4=18655)34 2019-02-05 17:14:54 (24100): Guest Log: ) |
