Posted 19 Mar 2019 by Yeti Post: ...running a Xeon E5 2620v4 I would tend to think I get two green checks, but I don't.I just checked it with my XEON E5 2620v3 and I get two green checks Does it make sense to try all that on a box with 8Gig of RAM? You hit the nail on the head ! I have run Atlas on similar boxes with 8 GB, but finally it didn't make me happy. One Atlas with 4-Cores should work, but you should limit Atlas to run really only 1 WU at a time via app_config.xml I have switched this box to run 3 or 4 Theory-Tasks and this works fine. Theory likes machine that restart only seldom. |

Posted 1 Feb 2019 by Yeti Post: But i don't understand why my single-core tasks consume more than 2,1 GB of memory RAM, as indicated in Yeti's Checklist (Each SingeCore-Atlas-Task needs 2,1 GB free RAM, MultiCore-WUs need 3,0 GB + 0,9 GB * number of cores (Last Update from 01.08.2018) So 7,5 GB for a 5-Core WU.). Aahh, time has overtaken this. In former times there has been a separat app for SIngleCore-WUs, these needed 2,1 GB. But this app has been cancelled. When you run Atlas with 1-Core, than it is still a MulticoreWU, only reduced to 1-Core. This will leed, as the Fomula calculates, to 3,9 GB for 1-Cor WU I will try to find a better wording in the Checklist |

Posted 21 Jan 2019 by Yeti Post: Are you using VirtualBox or are you running Atlas direct on Linux without VirtualBox ? With Linux I can't help you, my domain are Windows-Machines, aahh you are using VirtualBox 6.0.2. I'm not shure whether this is a good idea. Can a Linux-User tell us, which VirtualBoxVersion (s)he is runninng Atlas succesfull ? |

Posted 14 Jan 2019 by Yeti Post: You may look at the runtimes/CPU-times and inspect the logs. Then we are back to an old Theme: Instead of telling "success" the Server should give back a real status. The User doesn't have a chance to recognize that his results are nothing worth |

several Atlas tasks had to be aborted
(Message 37038)
Posted 15 Oct 2018 by Yeti Post: Do you let 4 or five Atlas running at the same time?Nope, only 2x4 or 3x4 Boinc 7.12.1 is now the default.But this doesn't mean that my version is bad. And newer BOINC-Versions have some very bad restrictions (or bugs, don't know) Seam so, that one Atlas is running sometime in a RAM-Desaster and find no end.As these tasks that I have to abort are spread over several of my machines and have started to appear some days ago I don't think it is a problem of my boxes |

Posted 15 Oct 2018 by Yeti Post: Nope, 98% of the WUs do fine on my machines, so I don't think it is a problem of the different boxes. I tend to faulty WUs or missing download servers for the spin-up of each WU |

Posted 14 Oct 2018 by Yeti Post: But there isn't described Window 10 version. Unfortunatelly I can't past here how looks like the BOINC file in my Program Files but there isn't this file :( You will never find it in ProgramFiles use the path given for Windows 8/8.1 Windows Vista/Windows 7/8/8.1: C:\ProgramData\BOINC\ (*) (*) This directory is hidden, so put the path to it directly into the path bar in Windows Explorer and press Enter. |
