Same host running the same as I do daily just sent one of those in.
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3320257
This one is 17hrs run time and 2 days 11 hours 11 min 59 sec CPU time

That other one I was just looking at the Run time / CPU time
And that it was at least Valid
(I was busy doing things so I didn't actually read the entire stderr)

But I just looked and I see how that other one finished like this (in case anyone wants to compare)
Without the VM Completion Message: glidein exited with return value 0.


Instead of the proper way like this


And as I was typing all of this the other one finished and it turned out as it should too

( I will keep running them here and now over at prod.)

Woo Hoo....ran my usual pair of 4-core and one was the typical one that just uses one core BUT the other that started at the same time was an actual 4-core. (as usual the credits are not much different)

Yes those that you did were the actual multi-core version but they stopped running again so we will just wait for a new batch to try when they arrive here.

Your last one was April 4th and that is the last day we have had any more of them so it isn't the version of VB

New batch of CMS so lets see if it will run multi-core or not.

It looks like our new batch of CMS are back to the old version without actually running multi-core so far.

hoping to be the first with 20k ;-).

You better hurry Axel and it looks like it takes 32 cores for over 19K
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3312030

But then if you are lucky you can get 17K with only 4 cores

Yeah the Credits after all these years here are still a joke BUT I'm sure if it is like this in production you will get all of the members to jump on this one.

Yes as you can see your first ones are after I posted that so all I could see were the ones that you finished before that time on the 29th

I see the ones you now have finished as multi-core

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.

3am I guess I better pretend I am asleep since tomorrow is another long day.........
