Is there a run time limit for the Atlas tasks?

I've got 3 of them running for 7days.

What is a HITS file?
It contains the scientific result that will be uploaded to the project server.


Should every task produce a HITS file? Or is it depending on what as been calculated/found?

Now you can run 4 or more cores instead of 2. :-)


Yes i have changed my config to run 2 concurrent 4-core tasks.

You may check if the BOINC client allows enough resources - RAM in this case - to be used to satisfy all tasks.
This should avoid series of suspend/resume.
In addition you may reduce the # of concurrently running tasks until you get results that produce HITS files.
Then slightly increase the # of concurrently running tasks.


What is a HITS file? i will check my future logs to see if they are running properly.
RAM settings were 90%x16GB=14,4GB (i increased this boinc setting to use 100% of RAM)
Is it 16GB RAM enough to run 2 concurrent 4-cores tasks + 1 Seti GPU task?
Or should i upgrade my machine to 32GB?

Is there a wall-clock time to worry about?

@maeax: It was thanks to Yeti's check list that i manage to have Atlas VM's running on my computer.

I saw your tasks run for +/- 40 cpu hours. How many cpu-cores are you using on each task? is it 4?

i'm running 2 cores-tasks.

I am running 2-core tasks.

VM-Console doesn't open anymore. i get an error message when a try to open it. But maybe because it shows 100% complete?

It has been at 100% for more than 12 hours now. Total elapsed time now 34hours. still running.

Yes; we at lhcathomeclassic/SixTrack have colleagues (also volunteers)
developing a GPU version. Results are numerically identical so maybe this year.....

Hello Eric,

Can you give us an educated guess of a possible introduction of this GPU app?

Thank you

I can't see this happening, the effort to demonstate mathmatical equilvence would exceed the benifit of using CUDA.



There was a post from Eric talking about a GPU app (Before the cleaning of the news forum. I can't find it know).

Assuming they work correctly (and I have tested all versions
for numerical compatibility) SSE2/SSE3/PNI versions ate typically
at least two times faster than the generic version which will run
on any PC. Eric.


Now that we have the sse2/sse3/pni versions working quite impressively, any news about the development of an CUDA App?

Thanks. Filipe.

Post:
when you report your task, it will be an inconclusive validation, and will be sent to a third host.

Probably some kind of error for this 2 second computation.

see this work unit for example.

No GPU computing in this project.
