1) Message boards : Theory Application : Docer tasks crash on lhcathomedev (Message 51714) Posted 7 days ago by Toby Broom Post: Its not working yet you can see the developers on github discussing things like this.
2) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Max # jobs and Max # CPUs is max 8 in settings. Would it be possible to add so you have 16, 32 and 64 as options in both settings? (Message 51678) Posted 11 days ago by Toby Broom Post: They only work when you have unlimited since the 8 overides this settings: 12-Mar-25 21:11:30 \| \| Processor: 64 AuthenticAMD AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7970X 32-Cores [Family 25 Model 24 Stepping 1] 12-Mar-25 21:11:30 \| \| Computing preferences: 12-Mar-25 21:11:30 \| \| - When computer is in use 12-Mar-25 21:11:30 \| \| - max CPUs used: 41 You can use these to limit the projects app <app_config> <app> <name>rosetta</name> <max_concurrent>12</max_concurrent> </app> <app> <name>rosetta_python_projects</name> <max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent> </app> </app_config>

(Message 51676) Posted 12 days ago by Toby Broom Post: I think this is a BOINC feature as its the same on all servers, so it would need to go there for feature request. I just use unlimited and set the settings client side to my preferences.
4) Message boards : CMS Application : VM Heartbeat file specified, but missing. (Message 51658) Posted 16 days ago by Toby Broom Post: I assume most people would never see this but I though I would report it anyhow. I lowered the power limit on my process to save some energy, at some point if you lower it too much then the time to boot up the vm so they fail with missing heartbeat.
5) Message boards : ATLAS application : Why does server give me atlas tasks if I enable theory tasks and If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? (Message 51601) Posted 27 days ago by Toby Broom Post: if "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?" is on then it will take work from CMS, ATLAS, Sixtrack if there is no Theory tasks. If its off then your computer will go idle if there is no work from Therory. Assuming you only checked Therory above. If all work is avalible server will give you what it feels like
6) Message boards : ATLAS application : Why does server give me atlas tasks if I enable theory tasks and If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? (Message 51598) Posted 28 days ago by Toby Broom Post: You have to switch this off
7) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : LHC refuses to work, is it due to Virtualbox? (Message 51482) Posted 1 Feb 2025 by Toby Broom Post: I though they fixed this but it could be this: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=6091&postid=49220
8) Message boards : Number crunching : no LHC tasks running on my new Windows 11 - why ? (Message 51405) Posted 14 Jan 2025 by Toby Broom Post: It does not actually turn off in 24H2, if you have 24H2 then you can follow guide. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/1fums7b/psa_disabling_memory_integrity_in_windows_11_24h2/
9) Message boards : CMS Application : CMS@Home -- jobs update (Message 51366) Posted 7 Jan 2025 by Toby Broom Post: Not really but it happens when the estimated compute performance of your computer is high vs the estimated compute for the WU. On your side you can run the benchmarks in BOINC, for the estimated compute this is set by the project, you can overide it by editing the WU, for me this is a bit too much effort but others have done it.
10) Message boards : CMS Application : CMS@Home -- jobs update (Message 51358) Posted 7 Jan 2025 by Toby Broom Post: Seem like they might be fixed too. https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=418692627 https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=418692466 https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=418691951
11) Questions and Answers : Windows : Issues downinging Theory & ATLAS (Message 51307) Posted 19 Dec 2024 by Toby Broom Post: You can select 1 or more tasks and choose the abort option this will allow you to get new WUs https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Simple_view or https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Advanced_view#Commands_2
12) Questions and Answers : Windows : Issues downinging Theory & ATLAS (Message 51306) Posted 19 Dec 2024 by Toby Broom Post: You can't delete one you can just merge ones with the same name.
13) Questions and Answers : Windows : Issues downinging Theory & ATLAS (Message 51298) Posted 17 Dec 2024 by Toby Broom Post: I think the virtualisation based security is back on, switch it off again. for the host with 13900KS
14) Message boards : CMS Application : How do I set up a local HTTP proxy? (Message 51255) Posted 6 Dec 2024 by Toby Broom Post: I just nocahched einstien. acl nocache dstdomain .worldcommunitygrid.org radioactiveathome.org einsteinathome.org for the what the buffer does you can see the squid documents. https://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/client_request_buffer_max_size/
15) Message boards : CMS Application : Short CMS-Tasks ok? (Message 51249) Posted 5 Dec 2024 by Toby Broom Post: I can only imagine its challenging to stop the generation of work unit even if they do nothing. As guy said it it boths you don't take work from CMS for the timebeing.
16) Message boards : CMS Application : Short CMS-Tasks ok? (Message 51244) Posted 5 Dec 2024 by Toby Broom Post: They are not doing any productive work based on the discussion in the other thread. They give a little credit to the crunchers. They are working on it there is a few post from Ivan in the other recient threads.
17) Questions and Answers : Windows : Troubleshooting help (Message 51181) Posted 26 Nov 2024 by Toby Broom Post: Whoo, lets see how the 285K is with WUs :) Set your pref back to unlimited if you want full power to the project now the issues are worked out, as someone said you can do 10 min for CMS til it fails.
18) Questions and Answers : Windows : Troubleshooting help (Message 51180) Posted 26 Nov 2024 by Toby Broom Post: I think the issue is actually with VirtualBox, which is why they move BOINC to use docker.
19) Questions and Answers : Windows : Troubleshooting help (Message 51177) Posted 26 Nov 2024 by Toby Broom Post: I think its a bug in windows, I checked the registery and it was still enabled even though the switch for memory intergrity was off. I edtied the registry now its good. Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\ -Name EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity -Value 0
20) Questions and Answers : Windows : Troubleshooting help (Message 51175) Posted 26 Nov 2024 by Toby Broom Post: I did a clean install with 24H2 on my new 9950X, I had memory intergrity on, let me just reboot. it was bad like yours:
