1) Message boards : CMS Application : CMS@Home difficulties in attempts to prepare for multi-core jobs (Message 49960) Posted 1 day ago by Laurence Post: vbox64 and vbox64_mt_mcore_cms should be identical when the number of threads/cpus for vbox64_mt_mcore_cms is equal to 1. We can probably deprecate vbox64 if there are no issues with vbox64_mt_mcore_cms
2) Message boards : News : BOINC Needs Votes at a Upcoming UN Forum (Message 49840) Posted 24 days ago by Laurence Post: BOINC is a finalist for an notable award, and needs your vote (by Sunday): Context: The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a United Nations-sponsored initiative aimed at harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies to build inclusive and equitable information societies worldwide. BOINC has been nominated for a prize at the 2024 forum, and has passed initial hurdles; the next and last step ("Phase 3") requires public votes. The award would be a very nice boost and validation for BOINC and all our projects; if we can get our communities to vote, we should have a decent shot at this point... Voting is pretty simple, takes just a few minutes; instructions are here. (The deadline for votes is Sunday: 31 March 2024, 23:00 UTC+02:00)

9) Message boards : Theory Application : New version v300.10 (Message 49035) Posted 12 Dec 2023 by Laurence Post: There was a mistake in the app configuration causing a miss-match between the real name of the image and the expected name of the image. This has been resolved in the 300.10 version. The tasks are running fine on my test machine (famous last words), so have removed the beta flag.

15) Message boards : Theory Application : New native version v300.08 (Message 48978) Posted 5 Dec 2023 by Laurence Post: The new native version (currently in beta) includes an updated cranky (v0.1.4) with support for cgroups v2. To achieve this cleanly, container execution (using runc) is now managed through systemd, employing the following command: sudo [sudo options] systemd-run [systemd options] runc [runc options] [container] As a result, sudo must be configured to allow the boinc user to run systemctl and systemd-run commands. To facilitate this setup, execute the following command once. It downloads and runs a setup script from this URL: sudo /bin/bash -c "export script=\"prepare_theory_native_environment\" && wget https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/download/\$script -O /tmp/\$script && chmod u+x /tmp/\$script && /tmp/\$script && rm /tmp/\$script" If your system does not meet the requirements, cranky will revert to the legacy cgroups v1 mode. An additional improvement is found in the logfile (stderr.txt), which now displays basic requirements that are missing, recommended options (e.g., for the local CVMFS client), and provides a hint on obtaining information about the running task via systemctl. This is currently in beta to provide an opportunity to test and evaluate the setup. Please report any issues in this thread. Special thanks to computezrmle, who contributed significantly to the porting work for this systemd approach.

18) Message boards : Theory Application : Theory native fails with \"mountpoint for cgroup not found\" (Message 48455) Posted 17 Aug 2023 by Laurence Post: Is this just a case of making cranky use runc.new instead of runc?
