(Message 1559)
Posted 25 Mar 2021 by Aurum Post: I learned what an aliquot sequence is. So did this sequence start with the divisors of 2 million 175 thousand 894 excluding 2,175,894??? |

Is it possible to run yafu-4t tasks with 8 cores?
(Message 1557)
Posted 18 Mar 2021 by Aurum Post: Try it and let us know. I predict no. <app_config> <app> <name>yafu-4t</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> </app> <app_version> <app_name>yafu-4t</app_name> <plan_class>4t</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>8</avg_ncpus> <cmdline>--nthreads 8</cmdline> </app_version> <app_config> |

Posted 25 Dec 2019 by Aurum Post: If you want to attempt to tame this beast put this in your app_config: <app_config> <app> <name>yafu-32t</name> <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent> </app> <app_version> <app_name>yafu-32t</app_name> <plan_class>32t</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>32</avg_ncpus> <cmdline>--nthreads 32</cmdline> </app_version> </app_config>Then restart it: /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart |

Posted 27 Dec 2018 by Aurum Post: Hi YoYo, When you define your own class plans (<plan_class>16t</plan_class> & <plan_class>32t</plan_class>) don't you have to pass the client your plan_class_spec.xml file??? https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AppPlanSpec This app_config.xml is not working to control number of threads used: <app> <name>yafu-16t</name> </app> <app_version> <app_name>yafu-16t</app_name> <plan_class>16t</plan_class> <cmdline>--nthreads 16</cmdline> <nthreads_cmdline>1</nthreads_cmdline> </app_version> <app> <name>yafu-32t</name> </app> <app_version> <app_name>yafu-32t</app_name> <plan_class>32t</plan_class> <cmdline>--nthreads 32</cmdline> <nthreads_cmdline>1</nthreads_cmdline> </app_version>My client_state.xml file says: <app_version> <app_name>yafu-32t</app_name> <version_num>13401</version_num> <platform>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</platform> <avg_ncpus>40.000000</avg_ncpus> <flops>122619847136.720169</flops> <plan_class>32t</plan_class> <api_version>7.1.0</api_version> <cmdline>--nthreads 32</cmdline>And 32t still takes all 40 CPU threads. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AppPlan#Predefinedplanclasses BTW, can't see the check marks in my Yafu Preferences Run only the selected applications. |

Posted 26 Dec 2018 by Aurum Post: I think your app_config.xml should be more like: <app_config> <app> <name>yafu-8t</name> <max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent> <fraction_done_exact/> </app> <app_version> <app_name>yafu-8t</app_name> <plan_class>mt</plan_class> <cmdline>--nthreads 12</cmdline> <avg_ncpus>12</avg_ncpus> </app_version> </app_config> I suspect <avg_ncpus>12</avg_ncpus> is not needed if <cmdline>--nthreads 12</cmdline> is issued. Edit: Tried it sans <avg_ncpus> and Yafu wants every thread I've got. Need to include it.
