Jack007 (and anybody else)
----------------------------------------Your VM should be set to grow freely in the OS. In TBird's example 8 concurrent A type would eat (looking on my own machine where 4 each use 730Mb) 5.9Gb. According file explorer mine has with 4 already grown to 4.7Gb. The BOINC default disk use setting is actually 10Gb, though it hardly uses that, just for those special cases where large projects show up.

Sek:"The BOINC default disk use setting is actually 10Gb, though it hardly uses that, just for those special cases where large projects show up."
----------------------------------------Does that setting include the system's swap/page file, or just the BOINC Data Directory? Jack007's error message above indicates that the BOINC server at the WCG end does not know whether these big WUs will fit on our client machines, so it's up to us to work that out before we select DDDT2. Perhaps the physical & virtual memory requirements for each type of DDDT2 WU be set out in a place that's easy to find, and perhaps an annotated link to this info should be put in the Device Manager project selection section. Was a "participate in DDDT2 Type A" option considered? For those wondering how to display VM size in Windows Task Manager, do View >> Select Columns. Congratulations to the researchers & techs for their persistence and hard work in getting this project under way. Here's hoping we find some drug leads that become effective therapies for dengue, HCV, WNV, etc. ---- I got just 1 DDDT2 WU so far - a repair job. It seems happy @ 4h30m, 21.3%, mem 205MB, VM 670MB. All of the initial 1000 WUs seem to have gone out already. [Edit]: Pending Validation after 20.2h. Extrapolation of 4h30/21.3% gives 21.1h, so its progress sped up. Initial estimate was 15.x hours.

Rickjb, it's disk use. I've never thought of it as excluding VM, but looking into the disk tab of BOINC Mngr see it not to be included... 668Mb used by BOINC, 9.32Gb free for use... learned something else today.
----------------------------------------There's another setting: Use of VM%. I've got it on 75% which is on checking the default. edit: It's correct, the servers do not know or are told the allowed or possible VM sizes. The parms that get transmitted are RAM permissions and transfer rates, OS, CPU info, BOINC version. Might have missed a few none essentials. I've run for weeks without VM at all as all fit into RAM.

New estimates this morning :
----------------------------------------i7 920 @ 3GHz : 8 units simultaneously - 50 hours per unit Q9450 @ 3GHz : 4 units simultaneously - 30 hours per unit Q6600 @ 2,4GHz : 4 unites simultaneously - 40 hours per unit T2050 @ 1.6 GHz : 2 simultaneous units - 100 hours per unit My Pentium 4 doesn't support this project because is needed 750 MB ram or above.

Interesting that Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz bit. Got same, with 4 sim, after 15:50 hours CPU time it's indicating 33.5% progress or 47.5 hours... W7-64.

Its interesting to find how this app adjust to memory allocation. On my 2GB, it uses around 200MB+ while on 6GB, its about 540MB+.

If it can, it will, seemingly having a more fixed reserve of VM space.
----------------------------------------Here the fastest so far is heading for 46 hours now... should not be much faster as else the set the quad has won't total to 14 days :O

New estimates this morning : TBird, it seems that you have given us estimates based on BOINC's estimated time to completion.i7 920 @ 3GHz : 8 units simultaneously - 50 hours per unit Q9450 @ 3GHz : 4 units simultaneously - 30 hours per unit Q6600 @ 2,4GHz : 4 unites simultaneously - 40 hours per unit T2050 @ 1.6 GHz : 2 simultaneous units - 100 hours per unit If you want to show more realistic times you can safely extrapolate from the work already done. Progress seems to be very linear. Personally I have one running in a Q6600 at 3.16 GHz and it should last between 39 and 40 hours (average 47 minutes between checkpoints - 2 %). To all: About the (normal) 0.000 % phase at the beginning note that the first checkpoint is taken at 2.000 %, therefore be patient. Cheers. Jean. |

Yep, they took a wee while to get going here.
Now I have 3 running at the same time on my old quad. 50.920% @ 15:33 50.600% @ 14:52 and 48.000% @ 14:52 I'd imagine they will finish either side of around 30 hours or so. The other core has an HCC running. |
