armstrdj ,
----------------------------------------Is that a fix for the memory issue or the Linux one , or both ?  (sorry , I couldn't resist)  It seems this thread got away from the original "Issue with Linux stuck workunits" question and started into talk about memory requirements. By the way , Thanks for the update ! My Linux machines are eagerly waiting lots of Beta's to chew on. [Edit 3 times, last edit by Former Member at May 2, 2012 3:20:07 PM] |

It is only for the hanging workunits when multiple ones are running, the memory footprint is the same.
Thanks, armstrdj |

We are currently testing a fix in our Alpha testing environment. If things go well, so far so good, I would expect a Beta in the next couple of days. Thanks for everyone's patience while we work through this issue. Thanks, armstrdj Outstanding!! Looking forward to the beta tests and ultimate production WU's Thanks for the update armstrdj Edit: referenced correct quote. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 2, 2012 9:47:36 PM] |

This issue is going to be considered closed, we have released the new version for linux to the grid that has a fix for this issue. The beta test went well. On Linux your version number for this application will be 6.09.
Thanks, -Uplinger |

I forgot to mention, we will be removing the linux 1 per host limitation. This will be done shortly, please be patient while we remove the limitation.
Thanks, -Uplinger |

Thanks for the updates. I had one stuck on one of my boxes, which I've just aborted, but that was from BEFORE this fix - I was about to remove the project from my list (I'm nearly 100% Linux), but instead I'll leave it running and let you know if I see any problems.

Excellent! I had noticed that I had received a second CFSW WU on a machine that already had one -- very nice!
----------------------------------------Is it possible to explain in a brief way how the earlier WUs were able to interfere with one another? Just curious.  |

With this release now having run all core concurrent for about 48 hours on a dual boot quad, I'd say the CPU time on Linux is now very close to the W7-64 version (4.46 hours mean), but still a tad slower... 6-10 minutes (4.62 hours mean). Given the efficiency on a ''left alone'' system (99.65%), about 0.2% in favor of W7-64 (99.85%), for idle running, W7-64 is my choice to run this science in a "run exclusive" setup (Q6600).
For those who run their devices in "MM - last squeeze" mode. --//-- P.S. The Llnux 11.10 was upgraded using the boinc/testing ppa from 6.12.33 to 7.0.27 dbfg-1. Installed smooth, asked if wanting to retain [customized] cc_config.xml, and after stop / start of daemon, no complaints so far. |
