Strange SN2S message log; Boinc now down until I fix this somehow

Hello all!

Just about an hour ago, very strange disk thrashing/very slow system response due to Boinc (taking 96% of memory and slowing down every thing:

As the pic shows, in the message section, it stated that if this continued, to reset the project and I have).

Still having problems with this after shutting down and receiving re-sent SN2S work-units.

Everything is fine when I shut down Boinc. And tomorrow, I am due to put in new ram as well as my new gpu card.

Not sure what to do now. Well, I'll post this in the SN2S support forum.

Geez, and this 17 860 has been rock solid. Ran the usual systems tests using several sw progras like McGlary and no problems with Boinc shut down.

All of this before I put in more (new ram) and gpu card .. hard to believe it.

Will continue to figure this out... thinking

Looks a lot like the below afternoon log now does it not, which was at 25% non-BOINC CPU load setting? (Run based on preferences)

Towards the end you can see what I did to further mitigate this situation. Also an I7 with 8GB DDR3. Already have several <exclusive_app> lines in my config, because they are the major source of this happening. Better automatically pause BOINC and loose a few minutes crunch time, than getting serial restarts [particularly on CEP2 ], and the non-BOINC jobs only taking longer at that.

For Linux this 20% is actually lower than what I have it for Windows 7, which I have at 40%. Experimenting required to find the best percent to prevent these.

This situation eating all memory is new to me, but maybe it does. Never looked in that direction.

Re: Strange SN2S message log; Boinc now down until I fix this somehow

So, is this some 'momentary' WCG glitch? Started Boinc and more disk thrashing. Not good. Also, despite my setting in My Grid, I see doen loads of all kind of work-units.

I think I'll stop for a tad until it's resolved ...

You're showing a picture of 8 cores running with only 2GB memory, 1.92GB in use [image says there's 2039MB physical]. No wonder there's disktrashing. I run 8 jobs in 8GB.

I have a quad. An i7 860. Running 8 threads. Never ever had probs before. thinking

Re: Strange SN2S message log; Boinc now down until I fix this somehow

Well, I consider it a miracle you *never* had issues before running 8 of WCG in 2GB. I just checked, a mix of 8 DSFL/GFAM on Linux is taking 1.7GB, but that's only 17.5% of 8GB. SN2S on the Sys Req page suggests 100MB per task, i.e. 800MB they should be using max as those numbers are with safety. DSFL/GFAM are specified as using 250MB max for each. Look in the Process tab, show processes for all users, and sort on memory use to see who's taking what.

Re: Strange SN2S message log; Boinc now down until I fix this somehow

Not getting it. You post the system has 2 x 2GB Corsair, but your Load screenshot prints 2GB being all that's operatioal. Something broke.

Re: Strange SN2S message log; Boinc now down until I fix this somehow

I agree with Sekerob - one of your memory sticks went belly up.
Solution: Replace and carry on.
Good luck

Wow, strange and timely (I will be installing 8 gigs of new memory tomorrow, as well as a new GPU ( XFX Double-D Radeon 7850 2GB).

A DAY AFTER one stick of Corsair 2GIG memory appears to have gone south!

SiSoftware Sandra report on memory just minutes ago ...

Memory Module(s)
Memory Module : 7F7F9E CMX4GX3M2A1600C8 2GB DIMM DDR3 PC3-12800U DDR3-1600 (9-9-9-24 5-34-10-5)

At least the timing is right (pun intended). biggrin

Uh, hopefully ... wink
