Posted 23 Feb 2023 by joeybuddy96 Post: I was getting a lot of these with 15e Lattice Sieve v1.08 (notphenomiix6) windows_x86_64, with code 197. I had CPU and RAM usage set to 100%. I lowered RAM and page swap and CPU usage and time down to 96%, though later after tasks started completing with "no new tasks" set in BOINC manager, the usage went lower and I was seeing compute errors anyway. I'd suspect that it's more from the page/swap file than total RAM usage. I've got enough tasks going to hit 100% usage on my CPU, but enough RAM that it's only hitting 53% capacity. The swap file on my system is set to 8GB. The peak swap size mentioned in the errors is about 1GB. It's doing it for every application but 16e Lattice Sieve V5, from what I can tell. I'm new to the project, but I wonder if it's possible that having my preferences set to "only get work from 16e Lattice Sieve V5" has anything to do with it. I'd changed that setting after the units had already downloaded and started running. The BOINC log has several entries like this one with "2023-02-22 9:36:36 PM | NFS@Home | Aborting task 7m3_317_129760_0: exceeded elapsed time limit 4315.13 (86400.00G/20.02G)". Once the number of NFS tasks died down from 100% usage (and I'm not sure the exact usage percentage when this event happened), a few of the "15e smaller number" tasks started to complete successfully, but not many. The run time is consistently 4300 seconds, and is consistently longer than the CPU time which averages about 3700 seconds. https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=306760861 https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=306759018 https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=306759259 https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=306759322 https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=306759353 https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=306759363 https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=306759371 15e for smaller numbers: https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=306757866 16e for smaller numbers: https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=306749053 |
