I've crunched quietly on my Linux Vm until today. Quantum Chemistry needs 13195.37MB more disk space. You currently have 15414.86 MB available and it needs 28610.23 MB. 30 gb for a wu?? Are you kidding? | |

In a previous message from Stefan he mentions these new WUs are much larger simulations that require much larger data-sets. It's just the nature of the beast. | |

Ok, i changed the vm disk, now i have 40gb free. These WUs use an extremely large amount of memory, most likely it has completely filled your ram and is taking from swap (hard drive) so it cannot run at full speed. I suggest everyone simply wait as unless you have more ram, there is no way to speed this up. | |

I have aborted one which seemed to go on forever. Now I have another running and one waiting to run. Let's hope they complete. | |

I have 8 GB RAM also on the laptop. Two tasks have completed so far, another is running. I have aborted one which was going on endlessly. | |

These are needing 30gb of disk space and 6gb of memory? Wow. | |

So my Ryzen r7 1700 system runs 4 of these WUs at once. I had 8gb of RAM and ran the old WUs no problem, 100% CPU usage and ~6GB of RAM usage. | |

I get 197% CPU usage if no other task is running,173% if a GPU task is running alongside. I have only two cores CPU,both on the Linux laptop and the Linux SUN workstation. The Windows 10 PC has 4 cores but all GPU tasks overheat its GTX 1050 Ti, not overclocked. Einstein@home GPU tasks run fine on it. | |

Toni in a News post has explained why the task progress remains at 10%. But my tasks end and report when they finish. | |

So I just discovered something interesting. | |

Virtual memory size is 4.15 GB on my 8 GB RAM on a Linux box. But more than 700 GB are available to BOINC of a 1 TB disk. I had SSDs on my HP laptop and they all failed. I installed a hybrid disk on it with 8 MB SSD out of 1 TB and it works. | |

I installed a hybrid disk on it with 8 MB SSD out of 1 TB and it works. I'm getting old..haha... My memory is faulty. Turns out that I had already upgraded that SSD to a 500GB. So that leaves the question of why it's running out of space. I turned off 1 QC work unit, leaving only 1 running along with the 4 GPUs. Better for the temps on the CPU, they were spiking to 100C, now they are back down to 60C-70C ____________   | |

A single WU will only use 4GB RAM. If it uses significantly more than that (i.e. 6GB) report to me because it might be a bug in the software. | |

Yes I just checked my error numbers, 120 total, up from 55 before. So a lot of work units errored out before I started to ones that complete. I'm guessing they erred before he made the change. Will keep an eye on results to see if the new parameters make a difference on the completion and validations. | |

Yes, please inform me if they still crash due to disk space limitations (not due to upload file size limit, that's a different issue). | |

To clarify: only a few WUs will actually use that disk space. But we need to set a maximum. | |
