5) Message boards : Number crunching : Can someone help with a workstation that will not receive task? (Message 30046) Posted 25 Apr 2017 by James Post: Okay I found the problem. Boinc was not finding Virtualbox. I install boinc, then Virtualbox on a headless workstation. Once I reinstalled Boinc it found the Virtualbox installation and the project downloaded work-units.

7) Message boards : Number crunching : Can someone help with a workstation that will not receive task? (Message 30041) Posted 25 Apr 2017 by James Post: I have recently added a few workstations to my account. All two of them took a while to start crunching, but one still has not received any tasks. This machine does have a different configuration compared to the others. It is machine ID: 10475984. I can see it on the web listed as one of my computers but it has not been issued any work units. Can someone help me build an app_config file. That may be the problem? Thank you in advance for any help or time spend on this issue, James
8) Message boards : LHCb Application : CPU's vs available RAM (Message 28833) Posted 8 Feb 2017 by James Post: Okay I see there is no way to stop the VM. Only suspend the work unit which puts the VM in saved mode. Everything is greyed out as far as the CPU count per VM. I wanted to do this based on total RAM. 16 cores with 24GB of RAM. It would have been nice to use four cores per VM's (work unit)that would have used 8GB and may have completed faster based on using all 16 cores.
9) Message boards : LHCb Application : CPU's vs available RAM (Message 28832) Posted 8 Feb 2017 by James Post: I agree about the new 22 core Xeon's Can't wait for them to be cheap on eBay. What I meant on the four cores on one VM was to stop the VM and change the CPU count to four then start it back. Will it use all four cores?
10) Message boards : LHCb Application : CPU's vs available RAM (Message 28829) Posted 8 Feb 2017 by James Post: Wow, thats awesome Crystal. So when the LHCb app is out of beta I can set the VM's to use four CPU's and 2048MB by changing the nthreads and memory_size_mb? Will the LCHb app use more than one CPU with the VM? Seems it would comlete a lot faster you think? James
11) Message boards : LHCb Application : Memory usage of LHCb tasks (Message 28826) Posted 8 Feb 2017 by James Post: Hi, Can you explain how to limit the LHCb app to only run eight VM's? And allow othe Sixtrack to still run.
12) Message boards : LHCb Application : CPU's vs available RAM (Message 28825) Posted 8 Feb 2017 by James Post: Sorry I meant run eight VM's with 2048GB so I would change my setting to 70% or 60% CPU's?
13) Message boards : LHCb Application : CPU's vs available RAM (Message 28824) Posted 8 Feb 2017 by James Post: Hello everyone, Wanted to mention something that unexpectedly happen when running this app. I have a sixteen core system with only 24G of ram. (I have another 24G already ordered and will be coming in a few days. My configuration was set to use 100% CPU's. This resulted in the server sending me sixteen virtual machines all of which was configured to use 2048M each. Thats 32G's which drew my workstation to a crawl. I managed to change the settings to use 75% CPU so it would only send 10 VM's. Once the other ram arrive I will set it back to 100% and see how the system performs. Is there currently any way to use the ten VM's configured for two CPU's each with 2048G of ram? I opened Virtualbox and can see the ten VM's running. Should I stop each one and change the settings are should I just it run it's course until the new ram arrives? Currently many of them end with computation errors. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, James

15) Message boards : Sixtrack Application : User Account Not Listed (Message 28819) Posted 7 Feb 2017 by James Post: I added a phrase so my profile could be created. I wonder whether that was why it would not show up. I did find my account by viewing page to page and it now shows me at 161. When I search using the name James I still do not see my account. Maybe it only shows other accounts and not your own. What page shows me list as number two? James
