Milkyway is choking out other projects and idling at the same time
(Message 73558)
Posted 17 May 2022 by martixy Post: I'm on an 8C16T cpu. I keep BOINC running at 25% or 50% at times. When I first added this project, it began running 4CPU tasks, 1 at a time. When a task finishes there is idle time until the next one starts. At the same time it will not allow any other project to run. Several of the projects I run have stalled (hence me adding this one), but one is active, and Milky way stopped all progress on it. Resource allocation is equal among all projects. So 50/50 in this case. There was also another recent thread that suggested creating an app_config.xml file. I created the following file: <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway_nbody</name> <max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent> </app> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name> <plan_class>mt</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus> <cmdline>--nthreads 2</cmdline> </app_version> </app_config> with the intent of allowing it to run a couple of tasks concurrently, to eliminate the idle time I was seeing. This config pegged my CPU at almost 100%, disregarding boinc's usage limits. Then I deleted the app_config, and now Milkway is no longer doing nbody WUs, but it is doing multiple seperation WUs. And still choking out other projects. |
