Is there a way to limit the number of threads running MIP on a particular machine without babysitting it? It's an interesting and worthwhile project so I would like to continue running it. Given the problems I would prefer to keep it from running on more than a couple threads per machine. But without manual intervention.

use a app_config.xml file in the \projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org folder.
Mine is set to run 3 fahb which jump in with high priority leaving the other 5 threads for beta and mip1. Here is mine: <app_config> <app> <name>cep2</name> <max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent> </app> <app> <name>hst1</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <fraction_done_exact/> </app> <app> <name>zika</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <fraction_done_exact/> </app> <app> <name>oet1</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <fraction_done_exact/> </app> <app> <name>mcm1</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <fraction_done_exact/> </app> <app> <name>fahv</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <fraction_done_exact/> </app> <app> <name>scc1</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <fraction_done_exact/> </app> <app> <name>mip1</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <fraction_done_exact/> </app> <app> <name>fahb</name> <max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent> <fraction_done_exact/> </app> </app_config> |

app_config will allow you to specify the exact number of threads used on each project. However, it ignores zero. Also, if you run out of WUs, you will not be using all your threads. It is better to slightly over specify to maintain full utilisation. If you do, it works on the specified number of the oldest WUs in your cache, followed by the next oldest, etc. You may need to open with Wordpad in order to make alterations. If you are badge-hunting, it can be used to slow down a project as you approach your target, so as not to overshoot. Mike |

5% = 6 months
100% = 10 Years ??? Too much time... |

The easiest way to set max concurrent is to allow MCM tasks to run on any machine that also runs MIP.

As soon as the project has been released, I identified problems with MIP1 with various configurations Athlon II x4, Phenom II x6, i7-4770K, i7-6700K running Linux and Windows 7 Pro. The "less worst" configuration is the i7-4770K machine running Windows 7 with 16GB RAM; however the MIP1 RAM consumption is over 8GB and the performance drops down on 15% percent and the RAM is not properly released after MIP1 WUs are completed, only a reboot does clean the situation. I have seen the performance degradation with a large number of MIP1 running concurrently also, and have limited them to two at a time on my i7-3770 (Ubuntu 16.04). But I don't see the memory problems. At the moment, I am running two MIP1, plus a Rosetta 3.78, plus two Quantum Chemistry (mt) - two cores each from GPUGrid, for a total of seven cores. The other core is reserved for Folding on a GTX 980. The total memory usage (including the OS and all the applications) is around 5 GB, reaching a high of 5.8 GB insofar as I can see. And when I suspend a MIP1, leaving only one running, the memory drops to 3.6 GB. It doesn't much matter to me, since I have 32 GB anyway, but the machine has been running for over two days now since the last reboot, so it does not seem to be a problem in my case (Linux 4.10.0.42). |

Running 8 MIP WUs concurrently on an Intel i770 for weeks now without a problem. OS is ClearOS - a linux derivative of Redhat Enterprise, with kernel 2.6.32-696.18.7.v6.x86_64 and 8 G RAM. Memory use is fairly high, but stable. See no degradation in performance over time...
----------------------------------------Only time have seen a slight problem, if you can call it that, is on an Intel Atom 330 with only 2G RAM. Occasionally when another application was running, the number of MIP WUs running concurrently would drop from 4 to 3. Once that application finished - back to 4 again.

Today we reach 4% 4 (or 5 depending on how you work things out) months and 3 days (2 days if you are in the US) on we have reached 7 %  |

I have just noticed that we have reached 8 % according to the research page. So at a very rough calculation it is a month and a bit per percent
