No good ideas on where to start troubleshooting. This box has been folding everything else with no problem for over a year (i7 860), just finished a bigadv WU.

Question for the experts: does the "number of threads" (-smp n) affect different WUs in different ways? I've ran quite a few many WUs over the last few weeks with "smp -7" - could P11020 not "like" this? I don't have a unit to test with of course, since they got self-deleted.

Edit: Found this thread, but apparently "-smp 7" worked well for everyone, at least back then:

Update your client. I think that may be a new a5 core unit, and your client needs an update to run that new core.

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2011 5:55 am**

Thanks Slash - I'm already running the 6.34 client, and finished one bigadv unit with it using the new A5 core. When P11020 first got assigned, it downloaded the new 2.27 A3 core, which is successfully running P6023 now.

You're running with -smp 7. I had the same problem with this project 11020. It can't handle -smp 7 - you have to use -smp 8 or -smp 6.

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2011 2:41 pm**

Thanks Jeannie - looks like I'll be optimizing this box for bigadv with -smp 7 then. I run two GPU clients on dual GTX 460 on it as well, so -smp 8 is much slower, and -smp 6 would likely lose another round of performance.

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:56 pm**

Yeah i am having the exact same problem. We shouldn't have to change from smp -7 for this to work....

Does anyone from stanford have input on this?

Posted: **Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:14 am**

Hi,

You shouldn't be getting these if you have the -smp 7, it's a bug. We're looking into it. Temporarily we've disabled using more than 6 for this project, but we'll re-enable 8 once we figure out what's going on.

Posted: **Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:43 pm**

Dan> for assignments, the client doesn't take the -smp X into account. It uses the number of detected cores (which is printed at client startup).

So if 8 cores has been detected, it will report 8 cores to the AS, whether it's started with -smp or with another value specified ...

Posted: **Mon Mar 07, 2011 10:03 pm**

toTOW,

Interesting. If that's the case, I don't think there's anything I can do but restrict this to 6 cores. I've also contacted the people that work on the server code directly, so hopefully this will get resolved at some point.

-Dan
