I am running for BOINC for many years, which have very average impression to every BOINC clients and projects I joined. However, recently, things go wrong after I have some new plan to re-schedule to usage of my tiny computing resurces: I run Einstein@Home, Minecraft@Home, MilkyWay@home, Rosetta@Home, WCG, and LHC@Home. My tiny toy host has intel CPU and 2 pcs of Nvidia Gfx cards Since Minecraft and WCG are all hibernated due to their project situations, then, I decided: 1) dedicate two GPU to Einstein and MilkyWay, which means I disabled CPU tasks for them. 2) The others Rosetta and LHC share the CPU power. Then, bad things happened, which Rosetta cannot complete the vbox tasks in time, probably 1/3 tasks are expired.. I observed, some interesting stuffs 1). I set my CPU to be 50% utilization for BOINC global preference, and, LHC seems never respect it. LHC always run in 100% of CPU power. 2). Rosetta seems to respect the CPU utilization, so it runs slower and less computing power 3). I set BOINC to switch client for every 60 minutes. I installed some simple RRDtool graph to monitor the CPU and GPU temperatures and this can watch the busy of computing power as well. My some immature thoughts, Rosetta and LHC are fighting and competing each other about CPU and some strange or bad behavior (or evaluation of BOINC manager will ruin Rosetta tasks. For example, I wrote a tiny Linxu shell script to monitor the BOINC tasks, it often shows: .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 314 tasks scanned UR ID# Project Deadline Active Sche uP Comp% Dp App Ver/Task Name ----- -------------- ------------------ -------------- ---- -- ------ -- ==================== 1) Rosetta@home 03/14/22_01:50:45 COPY_PENDING sche 1 0.00% .. v103 aagb-NMPHE_pp-mPPS-GGLY-B3PHG_pp_0_2673182_3_0 2) Rosetta@home 03/14/22_01:50:45 COPY_PENDING sche 1 0.00% .. v103 aaae-ABU_pp-mPIP-AGLY-AMC14C_2856265_3_0 3) Rosetta@home 03/14/22_01:51:31 UNINITIALIZED pree 1 39.70% .. v103 aaam-PRO_pp-mTIC_pp-SAR-AMACBEN2_pp_4_2564856_3_0 309) LHC@home 03/19/22_11:25:11 EXECUTING sche 12 51.40% .. v287 mszNDmmlOm0nfZGDcpSWOuwoABFKDmABFKDmm5pPDmABFKDm6jTtQm_2 152) MilkyWay@home 03/24/22_10:38:05 EXECUTING sche G+ 22.25% .. v146 de_modfit_72_bundle5_3s_south_pt2_2_1646608780_4054127_0 151) MilkyWay@home 03/24/22_10:38:06 EXECUTING sche G+ 69.88% .. v146 de_modfit_72_bundle5_3s_south_pt2_2_1646608780_4054034_0 ---------------- Scheduler state: aborted | uninitialized | preempted | scheduled // uP resources: 1..n CPUs | G+ nVidia GPU | g+ AMD/ATI GPU | i+ Intel GPU ---------------- App Ver stats: LHC@h v287: 1 | M@h v146: 2 | R@h v103: 3 ======== Current Time ======== 03/12/22 13:38:47 +08:00 CST -------- System started -------- up 1 day, 21 hours, 56 minutes === Total Works / Allow Works (.|!|?) / Resource Share / Credits === Project TtW A ResShare UsrTotal UsrExpAvg HostTotal HostExpAvg ------- ---- - ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Einstein@Home 147 . 10 21605361 64040 8384331 63609 Minecraft@Home 0 . 5 9487683 6277060 MilkyWay@home 157 . 10 8130146 35577 5664819 35581 Rosetta@home 3 . 40 6624722 408 255979 366 WCG 0 . 20 5328161 1 LHC@home 7 . 15 3004775 3403 419601 3403 ------- ---- - ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 100 54180848 103429 21001790 102959 CPU thermal zone: 70° 69° 69° 73° 70° 76°| GPU thermal zone: 65° 66° | GPU fan zone: 53% 39% Poor Rosetta cannot beat again LHC, and it often fail to complete tasks in time.... Anybody else also observed the same things happened? |

There are lots of setting over at LHC you obviously did not understand. Hence, your ATLAS native tasks are completely misconfigured. The major issue is that you force a 12-core setup on a 12-core CPU. This collides with your BOINC setting where you try to reduce the #cores. As a result other tasks - especially the GPU tasks - and the OS don't get enough CPU cycles to work fine. You should ask at the LHC@home mb how to correctly set up ATLAS native. |
