1) Questions and Answers : Web site : no new jobs (Message 79862) Posted 8 Apr 2016 by baffonim@netscape.net Post: I recently added a new computer to my project manager, and it is downloading at least two other projects, but it isn't downloading new Rosetta work. I checked and my other computers appear to download rosetta work, so I'm not sure why this one is having problems. I tried manual "update" and it just defers. I tried resetting project (it never received any data so I figured what the heck), but no change. Rebooting system has no effect. Any suggestions? Running 64bit 7.6.22 (no VM add on). I have it set to allow 1GB of RAM for projects (the others are moving along fine), and it has an equal share of priority. Any help would be appreciated.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta Beta 5.85 taking too much swap memory (Message 49450) Posted 6 Dec 2007 by baffonim@netscape.net Post: BTW, restarting BOINC seems to have unloaded the tasks, but why would it load them in the first place? Do the projects have stated minimums we should be allocating (so if the project needs a minimum of 500MB allocated RAM, 128MB active in typical usage, they should say something so I can open up more RAM and limit number of active per CPU, or leave it CPU uregulated and get more done with less RAM allocations). For now after restarting the BOINC process, I've increased the maximum RAM and SWAP to 8% (e.g. around 160MB RAM, 480MB swap), but none of the Rosetta processes will start, and one has a computational error (maximum memory reached).
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta Beta 5.85 taking too much swap memory (Message 49447) Posted 6 Dec 2007 by baffonim@netscape.net Post: I have 6GB of RAM swap on my 64bit XP box. My preferences are set to use at most 4% of my swap (which should be around 240MB). However I've got two Rosetta beta 5.85 processes using over 1GB of swap space EACH, and they aren't even ACTIVE! I'm occasionally getting memory low errors (increase swap), and I'm probably causing way more swap events than necessary for something that isn't running. Is there any way to have processes that aren't active actually unload themselves until it is their turn to run? Is there any way to get rosetta to actually limit the amount of swap space they are allowed to use (I wouldn't mind them loaded if I could actually limit their swap space through preferences). If it matters, RAM allowed is also 4%.
