I updated to 5.1.4 and VLHC (all LHCb) is fine as well as Atlas.

On here the CMS, ALICE task seem to fail, but the Theory and Benchmark apps are good.

I let SixTrack run full utilization and prioritize over other project as it bursty.

if merged would it be more consistent?

As with other project changes I can imagine people would like there credit migrated

the mt task seems to give some funny credit scores:


mt = 21,326.91sec = 10,801.58
mt = 109,653.90sec = 9,977.32
CMS = 39,582.64sec = 329.96

Maybe just needs some time to settle down

I just updated today, seems OK so far with multicore.

ALICE & CMS failed:

Interesting this morning, the one PC that was se to 1/4 Job/CPU is running an 8core task no app congig

The other which is set to 1/2 with appconfig of max 2, is running one 2 core task and BOINC is running nothing else.

For me the CPU limiter seems to work fine. I set one PC to 2 core and the other to 4 in the default and home locations and these were respected on the client with no app_config

The task limiter doesn't seem to work as expected, on the 4 core PC just one task was running, on the other PC, I think 9 task loaded up.

you can't control the number of jobs inside the VM?

The settings of the VM don't seem correctly applied.

I see my VM is set for 20 CPU's but the memory setting is still 630MB

The CPU load on my computer is about 25%

Brian, for my 40core machine, I ran 16 instances of boinc with 2 task per instance. It wasn't too hard to setup.

Is there a way to control how many cores the multi core task use?

Currently the task limit is number of cores

The people that wrote LINPACK developed a more realistic benchmark that it more I/O bound, HPCG benchmark.

I was think that if you took an off the self benchmark could save some time for other project work. I agree if the results are meaning less then it not really saved effort.
