1) Message boards : Number crunching : 1.03 (vbox64) is out for rosetta python projects (Message 102744) Posted 20 Sep 2021 by Lilkat Post: After doing some homework, I think it would be more cost-effective to bump both of my Ryzen 3950x machines from 32GB to 128GB, and tune the <max_concurrent> setting to allocate the first 32GB of RAM for non Python work units, instead of building a Haswell or Broadwell-based machine specific to the task. For my x470D4U board, it will unfortunately mean that my ECC RAM speed will drop from 2666 MHz (1-2 sticks) to 2400 MHz (4 sticks), but it's not a terrible decrease. If Rosetta's future is (a lot) more RAM, then I'll meet them where they are going.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : 1.03 (vbox64) is out for rosetta python projects (Message 102726) Posted 19 Sep 2021 by Lilkat Post: I'm thinking of doing another PC build to run the Rosetta Python units, specifically so it can be loaded with a lot of RAM. Is there a minimum CPU generation or OS that is required to run it? I have a pair of Ryzen 3950 units that run Linux, and are significantly constrained by 32GB of RAM, and they can get the Python work units. I also have an E3-1245v3 (Intel Haswell Xeon) with 32GB of RAM under Windows 7, but it only has picked up the normal Rosetta work units so far, even though it otherwise has the RAM for two work units. My plan was to get a Haswell or Broadwell-based client set up under Linux with around 300-500GB of RAM, but I don't want to go through the trouble if it won't run the Python units.
