2) Message boards : Number crunching : how to set up and run a vbox (Message 28620) Posted 22 Jan 2017 by Ross* Post: Hi Vbox 5.1.14 extension installed I do want this to work, if only I could get some tasks. there is 100 sitting on the server. Yes there are PCs like mine working, BUT I have no idea how many tasks are being run at once, or how much Ram. normally I can run full load on all Bionic projects. all PCs are liquid cooled so temp is not a problem. Now how about some tasks Cheers Ross*
3) Message boards : Number crunching : how to set up and run a vbox (Message 28601) Posted 22 Jan 2017 by Ross* Post: Hi only one task was active on any of my machines. A observation: almost all of the top computers doing work with this project use Win 10 or win 7 Pro/Server or variation of. This leads me to the conclusion that Hyper-V is necessary to get these tasks to run. win 10 home OS does not have this. It is a complete waste of my time and resources to try to run these simulations with a home OS. I may upgrade one of my PCs to Pro or Enterprise just to see if it solves the problem. perhaps there needs to be a note in the FAQ that simulations need a certain OS. Cheers Ross*
4) Message boards : Number crunching : how to set up and run a vbox (Message 28589) Posted 21 Jan 2017 by Ross* Post: Hi did that, was running 5 tasks on a I7 5960 all have failed with 1073740791 (0xC0000409) STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN they did reach 1% in 11 mins about twice as long as would be expected. have three more on a I7 6850 that have reached 1% in 11mins, still very low load on CPU. will leave them over night Cheers Ross*
5) Message boards : Number crunching : how to set up and run a vbox (Message 28584) Posted 20 Jan 2017 by Ross* Post: hi Can anyone post the stages or process they have to running vbox tasks? I have 6 win 10 boxes, 2 6850s and 4 5960s all have vbox 5.1.14 on board. plus they have all been updated, firewall exclude for the Bionic Dir. plus the latest Bionic software. all running Win 10 home with 16gig DDR4 ram. I have tried over the last 12 hrs to get those tasks going and best is 2.5hrs but the CPU load is 20% at best. sixtrack tasks run at 100% load. So please simple stage setup. Cheers Ross*
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Weird error message. (Message 28574) Posted 19 Jan 2017 by Ross* Post: Hi what is this error code? -1073740791 (0xC0000409) STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN and how do I fix it? Ross*
