Am I the only one not getting work since about 10 hours ago?
Edit: Of course, as soon as I posted that, I started getting work again.

FWIW, all my machines have dried up. Server status page says 300+ tasks available, but nothing will download.

Thanks for the info. Even running 8x 4-core tasks, they are finishing in about 7 hours. So no issue WRT time limit. I guess I will just pick the middle and run 4x 8-core tasks.

Post:
Let's say you have a 32 core machine. Is it better to run a single task using 32 cores? Or 4 tasks using 8 cores each? Or 8 tasks using 4 cores each? I have tried all three configurations and the credits per hour work out to be roughly the same. As far as I can tell, there is no advantage to me regardless of configuration.
So my question is, does the project have a preference?

Yes, I ran the native stuff years ago. It's just been so long that I forgot all about it.

...No cvmfs_config command found...
This is an ATLAS native test.
ATLAS native requires a local CVMFS client to be installed and correctly configured.
See the message board threads over at the -prod pages.
I assumed "native" just meant meant that a VM was no longer needed (no vbox required). It's been so long since I ran the native thing, I forgot all about all the additional manual steps required.

Although I recommend the use of a proxy you may try it direct.
Insert the following line in your /etc/cvmfs/default.local
CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY=DIRECT
then execute "cvmfs_config reload".
This is documented for Mac OS X but it may work on Linux also.
It worked! Thanks!
$ cvmfs_config probe

I can't reach the cern servers. Maybe it wants me to set a proxy? But I don't use a proxy.

Theory Application :
New Muti-core version V1.9

Post:
How will the BOINC client be able to know to run only one of these tasks, which will use all CPU threads, and no other CPU tasks of any kind from any other project? Or even tasks from other applications on the same project?
Also, Assuming a single task using 4 CPU threads within the VM, how will BOINC know to credit 4x threads of CPU time?
Here is the thing: Without using a VM, BOINC can already do all this natively. Several projects already use this method. Are we trying to re-create something already available, just so that it can be in a VM?

Congratulations to zombie67 who ran the first successful test job for ALICE!
Weee! However, I am also getting a lot of errors. They all seem to fail at 7 minutes.

Project Configuration Update 2

Post:
Yes, that's to avoid overloading hosts without resources to run several tasks at once. You can edit the file to allow more, and then reload config files to bring it into effect.
By resources, are you talking only about memory? Or also CPU threads?
What are the maximum resources any give task could require? That will help us decide the maximum number of tasks to run at a time.
Thanks!

Although this doesn't address any other macs attached. A better solution is to remove the mac app until you are ready to have people run it again.
I'm only running two Macs but I agree with Z67 that removing the app is the cleaner solution. I only burned through 150 WUs before I saw this.
S.
If this also effects linux, then that app should also be depreciated.

They are macs. Could that have something to do with the short run time?
Yes, there are known bugs with the Mac and Linux 26155 vboxwrapper which we are currently debugging. This causes rapid task termination and of course eats these tasks so please hold off for now, OK?
I have turned them off for now. Let us know when you want to test the fixes.
Edit: Although this doesn't address any other macs attached. A better solution is to remove the mac app until you are ready to have people run it again.

I just checked. The tasks I crunched were only across a handful of machines. The number of machines is not the problem, it's the extremely short run time. Any of us could have burned through them. I just had the luck of the BOINC back-off algorithm.

A number of my guests running under Linux seem to be stalling with a Fatal exception. Are we maybe taxing the incoming server a bit much? Or is this actually somewhat normal processing? :)
Exception Message:
A std::exception was thrown.
Can not get data (Additional Information: [frontier.c:799]: No more servers/proxies. Last error was: Request 26 on chan 1 failed at Tue Mar 17 15:45:46 2015: -6 [fn-socket.c:112]: connect to 128.142.156.169 timed out after 5 seconds) ( CORAL : "coral::FrontierAccess::Statement::execute" from "CORAL/RelationalPlugins/frontier" )

Whenever I peek in at these systems, the server is partially idling, which is unusual with them running BOINC to consume all those spare cycles. The VM Guests with this type of error on the console seem to be waiting for something and not doing any actual work. With the virtualbox guest only consuming about 10% of a core.
Just wanting to share.
