5) Message boards : Number crunching : VM Applications Errors (Message 41018)
Posted 20 Dec 2019 by Profile Bill F
Post:
I have a Dell Work Station that after enabling Virtualization I have been able to complete an Atlas WU. In my BIOS there were two settings one for CPU Virtualization and one for VM Direct I/O control. I enabled only the first setting for the CPU and not the second as I saw a Forum posting that it could cause issues with the Suspend function.

Should I have enabled both ?

On WU / Task 128721484 there were errors at the bottom (the WU validated and credit was issued)

Thank you in advance for any advice.

6) Message boards : News : Warning: possible shortage of CMS jobs - set No New Tasks as a precaution (Message 38409)
Posted 24 Mar 2019 by Profile Bill F
Post:
At the moment I don't know whether the submission has failed or whether the monitor hasn't picked up the new batches. As a precaution, set No New Tasks on your CMS project(s) to avoid tasks crashing due to lack of jobs. I'll let you know as soon as I'm sure jobs are available again.

There are a lot of aborted jobs and several failed jobs too.

Are they resubmitted normally?

Yes, I believe so. As far as I recall, each job gets three picks at the cherry.

Why would not having any new work cause a Job to crash ? Two different parts of work order processing.

Thanks

I have re-enabled ATLAS as a project on LHC to run some of these WU's and every one so far as failed. When I looked at one of the WU's I noticed that it had been assigned to three different systems and failed on all three ?

wuid=102285314

Does a bad batch of WU's ever get generated ?

Post:
BOINC 7.8.6 for Mac OS is now available on the primary BOINC Download Site:

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

From Charlie Fenton ...

This is a release for Macintosh only; there are no changes from 7.8.3, 7.8.4 or 7.8.5 affecting the code for any other platform. It fixes a couple of Mac-only bugs in 7.8.5:
* Reliably installs the BOINC screensaver (unless asked not to do so.)
* Fixes a bug which could prevent determining the correct size of RAM when run on versions of OS X older than OS 10.11.

In reviewing so of the statistic web sites for BOIMC production it looks like LHC statistics are not being exported or are not available for export so. LHC appears to be off line even if it is not.
