1) Message boards : ATLAS application : ATLAS task at 100% for 10h (Message 43559) Posted 3 Nov 2020 by Der Martinator Post: Thanks for the explanation! I set up Boinc to use maximum 50% of the cores, so 8 are resulting. 8 cores shall remain always free. There had been a problem during the update of Boinc where VirtualBox was not properly installed so I installed it manually and at least now the other LHC tasks such as Theory simulation are doing fine. I also installed the extension pack afterwards and then when having a look at the console of this ATLAS (8 core) task then there is just "CentOS and a linux login" - nothing more. And my whole CPU is completely idle - only 1-3% for the Win10. I presume, something is wrong with these tasks... All others are running well, loading the CPU, giving a console output and finishing in reasonable time... Any idea?
2) Message boards : ATLAS application : ATLAS task at 100% for 10h (Message 43551) Posted 2 Nov 2020 by Der Martinator Post: Dear computezrmle, Thanks for you info! Yes, you are right, that computer is the PC we are talking about... Well my CPU shall have 16 cores of which I am now using 8 and it would be kind of waste of resource if I limit it to only 3 cores... I am currently using Boinc (and that also with boincstats) - shall I then set the "max #CPUs" at the LHC site? I would be sorry if my PC could only use 4 cores for LHC... Another question - what to do with these 8-core tasks which are already assigned to my PC which seem to run quite inifite? Will they come to an end by themselves or should I abort them? Thanks!
3) Message boards : ATLAS application : ATLAS task at 100% for 10h (Message 43549) Posted 2 Nov 2020 by Der Martinator Post: Dear all, My PC is running an ATLAS task with 8 cores, at the beginning it said it needs about 1,5h and now it is already running 34h and the percentage of completion encolsed more and more the 100% and now it is 100% since about 10h. Will it finish by itself or is there something wrong? Meanwhile I updated also Boinc to 7.16.11 (with corresponding vbox)... I am running an Intel i9 and Win10. And somehow my CU load is curretnly at nearly 0% even that some tasks are running (Theory simulation) anybody with hints? Der Martinator
