1) Message boards : CMS Application : CMS@Home difficulties in attempts to prepare for multi-core jobs (Message 50005) Posted 13 days ago by Ben Post: Could the new multi-core app please get a different name? I use an app_config.xml file and having them both named CMS makes it useless. Thank you.
2) Message boards : CMS Application : CMS@Home difficulties in attempts to prepare for multi-core jobs (Message 49955) Posted 18 days ago by Ben Post: I have one of the four core processes running now but there is a bug. It is using four cores but claims to be using five cores, so one core isn't being used by BOINC at all. I have five set as my maximum in my preferences, which I can change but this should be fixed. Thank you.
3) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : process stalls for hours (Message 45444) Posted 17 Oct 2021 by Ben Post: I am running Debian with 32GB memory and a six core, 12 thread, Ryzen. I have six threads and 16GB allocated for BOINC. The issue is that the process will stop doing any work according to 'top' for many hours even though 'boincmgr' shows it is running and not suspended. Sometimes restarting BOINC with systemd or rebooting gets it going again. I have my prefs set to always run both in the web prefs and local prefs. It seems to usually happen near the end of the work unit run with the elapsed time increasing but the estimated finish time not moving. Any ideas?
