Yep. Anyone working on milestones needs to be able to crunch every single project, regardless of how many credits it pays. As far as a good paying project that uses alot of RAM? AQUA can get pretty high at times where you'll need at least 2GB/core to get by. Beyond that though, not really.
Yep. Problem was the system was using more than the remaining 10% which caused the lockup. BOINC was still trying to hit the 90% cap, but never made it because of the system usage.That was a cock-up on by the project *AND* on the BOINC client. BOINC is supposed to suspend tasks when it gets that bad, you know, the "waiting for memory" message. Even at 90% setting, it should have allowed only one to run at once if it needed 4.2gb
I am in a cranky mood. And this is NOT pointed at *anyone* in particular.
Er, we are *all* running this project for the *free credits*, right? So we all already know about this project, and what it does, right? This should not be new news to anyone on the team.
Edit: Also, to avoid confusion, heartbreak ,and wasted money, we should be talking about gb/thread, not gb/core. For AMD, it is still 1-1, so there is no harm in calling a core a thread. But for intel, it is a different situation. Especially now that we are in now the second generation of modern Intel chips with HT. And no end in sight. As far as BOINC is concerned, it counts threads, not cores. So we really need to plan RAM per thread, not core, so there is no confusion, regardless of CPU.

Hey jeep. how the build going? Any updates? I just ordered a new rig, nothing like what your looking at, but a nice one just the same.
