Given that the effort for years has been mostly Laurence (on the BOINC side), me from CMS, and lately Federica from CMS, I don't think we can support a large number of environments. You also have to realise that there are a heck of a lot of other things running behind the scenes, CVMFS and containerisation to name but two, so that folding them into a VM rather than expecting Volunteers to maintain them as well makes participation rather easier for Joe Average.


Well here at -dev we have a few of us with plenty of VB and GPU experience that will be happy to test doing that here in the future Ivan.

Of course we do have members here that might be on that Average Joe list so you could just ask a few of us to do that or even make another url like the one we used to have for Atlas-Test if this is ever made possible to run tests for since that is how we did it with Atlas.......and CMS when we used call this place CERN CMS-dev
And of course way back in the beginning with T4T

My i7-8650U laptop and i7-4790 desktop both seem to be using between 3.5 and 4 CPU cores on their 4-core MT tasks. These computers are not running anything else.

My Xeon E5-2699 v3 is using almost exactly 4 CPU cores pretty consistently on its 4-core MT tasks. I do have other BOINC projects running on the other CPU cores on this computer.


Fardringle you need to go in your account here under *Preferences for this project* and set your CMS tasks to run with 4 cores per task because all of the ones you have been running are only using one core per task.

You can see that when you check your tasks STDERR where it says * Setting CPU Count for VM. (1)*
And when you do that and run a task here you will see that the CPU time is much longer than the Run time when you check your finished tasks.

They will then say they finish in close to 17hrs Run time and the CPU time will be over 2 days

That still isn't 10 times better and I of course have compared all of the computers to see the entire differences.
I could use my 24 core pc here but it is busy doing something else right now
(I have ran the benchmarks here many many times) and I even did a reset and reinstall of a vdi for my Theory pc over at prod. about 90 minutes ago.

2 more running but if the credits are like that in production you won't get many of those Atlas crunchers to run many of these but just checking others I see some of these getting 2 or 3 thousand credits for shorter runs of these so as usual there is no standard credits for these CMS multi's

Yes I have had mine set for 4 (and at times 8) since it started in November 2022 here.

I tried that setting at production it doesn't say it is 4 cores and is just 1 core as always



It has only actually worked here once a few months ago (I have those saved here)
Here is one of the 3 that worked last December
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3279982
(this one was 8 cores)

The CPU time has to be longer than the Run time or it isn't actually running the 4 core

Tried the ones here and at production and none of them actually ran multi-core
Still the same here set at 4 core and over at prod. they still say they are single core.

That will happen after you turn in too many Invalids in a row
After that if there is any of that particular work to get you may have to wait 24 hours and you will see that on your Manager/Tools/Event Log
But then the Xtracks didn't work so they all did that.
And of course we are still waiting for a new batch of CMS work too.

Since last June when we had the ones that seemed to work I wondered why those aren't good enough to run doing those or why they just appeared to be Valids and didn't do what we want them to do.
(without digging around github)

Wouldn't mind some CMS here to run too.......since for another mysterious reason mine have no problems with CMS but crash in 24 seconds with Theory now (here and over at prod.) I even tried to reset the project and d/l it again a few times.....but I will figure it out eventually yes I know this is a different thread but we are all regulars here so I never have a problem with that

Only good thing is most of my GPU's are busy at Einstein for the next 2 months but I do have some ready here for the Xtrack 24/7
