What is the peak RAM requirement of each WU of the new CPU app please? On Windows. On Linux it is under 10MB per WU (mean of about 8.8MB). I don't know what it is on Windows, since I cross compile and don't have a Windows computer to run it on. But it should be very similar to the Linux version. Why do you ask? Are you seeing issues with the Windows app? ID: 2938 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Maybe this site could help you: http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/results/ram.py?plateforme=win&tri=projet&sort=asc I assume that the tasks with the high ram requirements were GPU tasks. Their ram usage rises constantly ID: 2939 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

When I say "asking for a friend", it is accurate in this case as I am looking after some systems in Australia remotely. All I can tell from here is that a full thread-count of CPU apps causes frequent crashes of either the boinc-client or the whole system. I can see it is not caused by RAM-usage then as they run Gerasim / odlk1 etc on all threads without problems. Could it maybe be heat? Would you say the new app runs any hotter than the old numberfields cpu app. I am seeing problems on at least 6 different machines which have been stable for many weeks before we switched to NF. It is mid-summer in Australia so I imagine ambient is 30degs C or more ETA: Ooops - posted from wrong account. This reply is also from davidBAM ID: 2942 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I have noticed a small increase in temperatures with the new app and this is probably a side effect of the improved code efficiency (uses more on-chip cache instead of RAM). Does Windows have a temperature monitoring app? That might be the best way to determine if there is a heat problem. Ambient of 30 deg C? That sounds hot to me. This could definitely be a heat problem. ID: 2943 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
