LHC@home

Hi,

I am new to LHC@Home, but not to BOINC. Some of the LHC@HOME projects that I have on my computer are saying "Postponed: VM job unmanageable, restarting later. (8 CPUs)." I got my computer delivered on 8/12/2019 (2 days ago) so I don't know why I am getting this message in the status column. I have an Intel i9-9900, an NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti, and 32 GB's of RAM. I haven't gotten this message with any other project and my event log doesn't provide any thing that I can add here since it doesn't go back that far since I run other projects 24/7. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Michael

Welcome, Michael,
This is most often caused by the Atlas tasks overstretching the host's resourses. Sixtracks are gentle and easy to run but Atlas tasks need A LOT of memory and need a bit more initial intervension than other attach-and-go projects.
Have a look through Yeti's Checklist Version 3, pinned at the top of this board. It gives good advice on how to set up and run these successfully.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I figured out what was wrong. There were invalid settings in the VirtualBox program. I corrected the settings and now the LHC@Home workunits are now running with no problems. The video memory was set too low on my computer. I increased the amount now. Thanks again for your response.
