Re: WU not finishing weirdness on MirBSD (was Re: Problems with the Due Time)
Hi mirabilos!
Being a true beginner in Linux I cannot help you on these matters, but regarding the testing methodology I have been surprised by your statement
The bad thing is that that box has barely enough RAM for HCC

Among the currently offered projects HCC is the one which has the smallest RAM requirement, about 50 MB. Also it seems that it is less subject to stalling problems, if ever. Last it is also the shortest project in terms of computing time per WU.
So, if I were you, I would give it a chance in order to more clearly isolate problems related to porting Boinc to MirBSD from those potentially related to the science applications.

Cheers. Jean.

Re: WU not finishing weirdness on MirBSD
That are two different boxen.

The one running MirBSD is my primary laptop.

The secondary laptop is the P-233MMX, 96 MiB RAM box,
which has a triple-boot (DOS, MirBSD, Win2k).

I’m indeed investing into the MirBSD problems instead now,
and have already deinstalled boinc from the small laptop.
At least I do not get any Signal 12 any more.

Re: WU not finishing weirdness on MirBSD
When uploading the aborted result, I see:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'

So probably really an out of memory (or ulimit -d too small) problem?

Re: WU not finishing weirdness on MirBSD
Yes, this gives you a really firm point for further enquiries.

Do you have virtual memory available?

Re: WU not finishing weirdness on MirBSD
Yes, of course ;-)

At the time of running the WU, I had 256 MiB RAM and 516 MiB swap,
and increased the datasize limits using “ulimit -d 350000”.

Now I have plugged in a shiny new 512 MiB RAM piece ☺ (SO-SDRAM,
133 MHz, hard to get these days…) so that I have got 768 MiB RAM in
total. I have increased the limit to “ulimit -d 500000”, but have not yet
run another time because I’m building boinc-client-5.10.45 right now.

Re: WU not finishing weirdness on MirBSD
Okay, committed the boinc-client port for the MirPorts Framework,
and working with it now:

(is the CPU model format correct? I hope so. Yes, this CPU has neither SSE
nor 3Dnow™ – even if it’s a Desktop CPU in a Laptop.)

Re: WU not finishing weirdness on MirBSD
Now this sucks: the DDDT unit cannot finish:


Apr  7 22:27:11 odem /bsd: signal 4 received by (wcg_hcc1_img_5.1:18893) UID(2300) EUID(2300), parent (wcg_hcc1_img_5.1:28010) UID(2300) EUID(2300)


Signal 4 is SIGILL, Illegal Instruction. Probably it uses some Pentium 3/4 or
Athlon stuff which my Athlon XP cannot do?

Re: WU not finishing weirdness on MirBSD

Erm, of course I meant the HCC1 unit. Trying DDDT now…
and in the meanwhile, my first unit for another project, which
I registered to test my boinc setup, finished, uploaded and
granted credit (Sudoku). They are using Linux binaries too.

Still no progress for the HCC1 unit though.

Running on MirBSD
FWIW, the first valid result from the MirBSD box was returned for HPF2 today.
Took me a while though: 42.53 CPU hours…

Re: Running on MirBSD
I'm glad you are making progress, however slow.

If you gather any useful information you want passing to the techs, please let me know.
