UT theoretical chemistry code forum

Oh well, other results run a few seconds and then get stuck for hours, not consuming any CPU time anymore and they force all hosts (even ones that are set to NNW) to connect to the server every 30 minutes.

They are making fun of us and probably do not really need crunchers - I detached completely.

Assuming that it's a twin hex-core Xeon with HT, it's worth a try to reduce "On multiprocessors, use at most xx processors" by one so one thread is dedicated to the operating system. I have a better overall throughput with an L5520, if I do not allow 16 concurrent tasks but set it to run only 15.

I ...

Currently it works like a charm, no jumpy estimated runtimes anymore and no panic mode :-)

Nothing to panic yet, it is a single failed thingie so far while all other results worked fine.

Unfortunately I reset the project instead of aborting just this one result (stupid me) - but I saved at least stderr by creating a hard link to it (couldn't copy it as it was still locked) :

Unhandled ...

Yes, thanks - that helps, no panic mode anymore :-)

About the fpops_est thing :

The results usually take between 1.5 and 5 minutes on my box, but now and then one with a really low fpops_est value must occur, causing the estimated runtime (roughly derived from : fpops_est / duration correction ...

The fpops_est (used to calculate the estimated runtime) seems to be quite random here :

Visiting the web site with English language settings works, if I choose German in language_select.php, home.php doesn't display anything useful anymore.

On every second call the screen is several meters wide (very weird effect), it never shows any visible informations even though it is there as I ...
