Einstein@home

2/19/05 5:30:31 PM

OK, I've got a Dual 2GHz G5 here...

I've set up an account, I've downloaded the .gz file and Stuff-It ran automatically to ungz it (apparently). I ended up with "boinc_4.19_powerpc-apple-darwin". I opened a "Terminal", "cd"ed to the directory where that file is, and ran "chmod +x boinc_4.19_powerpc-apple-darwin" as instructed. Nothing happened that I can see (double-clicking on the boinc icon still just opens a dialog asking what program should open the file):

The-G5-Computer:~/Einstein@Home me$ ls -last
total 14960
0 drwxr-xr-x 4 me me 136 19 Feb 17:10 .

(Where "me" is an account name.)

What am I doing wrong? Is it not degzified properly? If it isn't, how do I do that?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

It's just the executable right there

Crack open a terminal, chmod +x it, and run it.

Post #195,557

2/19/05 6:36:30 PM

I did. Multiple times.

I started over and downloaded a new copy. I used the Stuff-It expansion, then tried the "gzip -dv ..." expansion. In each case, the OS still thinks it's a document. :-(

"chmod +x boinc_4.19_powerpc-apple-darwin" is the command I used.

I end up with:
12496 -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 6396200 19 Feb 18:24 boinc_4.19_powerpc-apple-darwin

Post #195,570

It still seems strange to me.

Let's see:

.. means the parent directory
. means the current directory
./ seems to mean the current directory as well (at least on Win2k).

What am I missing? How is "./filename.exe" different from "filename.exe"?

My thinking has been that an OS wouldn't care what the route to an executable was as long as it was started from the current directory (an all of the .dlls, etc., were available there or on the path). In this case, I seem to have a 6+ MB executable with everything it needs. I thought I had set the current directory to the executable's location (ls -last gave the expected output). It still hasn't clicked why just entering the filename didn't work.

And it's still a mystery why Finder still thinks the program is just a document...

A little more explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Scott.

2/19/05 7:22:25 PM

Yeah, but why does it matter?

Sorry if I'm seeming dense.

On Winders, I can put an executable anywhere. I can open a folder view on the desktop of that directory, double-click on the icon for the executable, and it'll run. Similarly, I can open a command prompt window and run it there if I'm in the directory where the executable is. It doesn't matter if the directory is on the path or not. It worked the same way on OS/2 and DOS as far as I recall. The command interpreter seems to always start in the current directory even if it's not specified in the path. Thus, the path was only necessary if you didn't start the executable from the current directory.

Why is it different on BSD/Unix/OSX? Does the command interpreter not automatically look for executables in the current directory first? Does the ./ tell the command interpreter to look in the current directory because it won't otherwise? <lightbulb>

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

AFAIK the path always matters

But everyone always stuck . in the path, so you could always run programs in the current directory.

However on Unix they got tired of people finding exploits based on putting an executable under a likely name in a directory where it would be called. So many of them took . out of the path.

common sense for non nix users

say you write a nifty program for remote access in your home directory and name it rm for short then exec it with the flag r for ron and * to remote access for all. Problem is that /usr/bin is in the front of your path so the shell will pick up the remove every file you see command instead. By explicitly requiring you to invoke the current directory for a file it indicates that you are aware of where you are in the heirarchy.

Consistency, the hobgoblin of little minds - and Unix... :-)

The Other Scott excuses hisself:

Sorry if I'm seeming dense.

Hey, better you than me! ;-) (For once.)

Why is it different on BSD/Unix/OSX? Does the command interpreter not automatically look for executables in the current directory first? Does the ./ tell the command interpreter to look in the current directory because it won't otherwise? <lightbulb>

Ed Zachary.

Iff'n yer gonna HAVE a concept of "search path" that's supposed to tell ya where to run apps from (unless you explicitly SAY where they're at), then the consistent and logical thing to do would be to ONLY run apps from directories in the search path (unless, etc).

So, no surprise, that's what *nix does.

The way DOS/Winders (and, if you say so, OS/2) do it -- i.e, searching the current directory, whether it's in the path or not -- can be seen in two slightly different ways, albeit with the same end result: Either it *also* always searches the current directory, in *addition* to the path; or, you could say, in these OSes the path *implicitly* always *includes* the current directory.

Looking at it the first way it's inconsistent, going against the most basic definition of "search path"; the second, it's typical MS-OS sleight-of-hand based on not-explicitly-stated behind-the-scenes machinations.

Either way, consistent and logical it actually ain't -- *easy*, perhaps, but when you think about it, neither as consistent nor as logical as the *nix way.

You seem to have the ubermachine on the team. But SMP helps.

22,213.80 s CPU for a work unit. My best (on the dual 2.0 GHz G5) is ~ 28,712.75 s. Your AMD Athlon64 3000+ seems to be quite speedy even though it only has 512 MB of RAM. Can you tell us more about it? 939 pins? Which motherboard and chipset? Are you overclocking it? Etc.

We're up to #318 now. :-)

Thanks.

[edit:] I just noticed that the G5 is routinely doing 5-6 work units a day while your A64 is doing 2-4. So it seems that the BOINC client is using both the CPUs on the G5. SMP baby!

When I start it, I see the process monitor pinned at 100% -- 94% nice. I leave it overnight, or while I'm at work, next time I check I still see it running with ps, but the processor is doing nada. I can stop and start the client, but then I have to go merge the multiple machines it thinks I have again.

Will look up the machine details when I get home.

I had it built to a price*, not to a performance spec, so it's nothing that special. Yes, I had it built for me - am getting lazy in my old age :)

Maybe my results-per-day is a bit low as I was initially switching it off when I went to work. But it's been running continuously a few days now, never mind the electricity bill, greenhouse gases, etc, etc..

I can confirm that I haven't overclocked it though, it's running as standard.

A FAQs addresses the Credits issue.

[link|http://boinc-doc.net/site-common/glossary/letter-c.php#Credit|Credits] are sort of complicated.

I've got my BOINC clients on Windows to be running continuously (it's a Menu item). The machines are still usable in that configuration, so there doesn't seem to be a downside for normal PC use. I'm not sure how the G5 is configured.

I don't know why you're listed as having 2 machines. Checking for another instance of the BOINC client seems reasonable, but I would have thought it was smart enough to know if another copy was running.... Maybe it's related to [link|http://predictor.scripps.edu/forum_thread.php?id=1028|this]?

As I read your stats...

[link|http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/results.php?hostid=40430|Host 40430], you've completed 2 work units and gotten credit for them. You have 4 work units in progress. The [link|http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/workunit.php?wuid=366948|first] is 1/4 done with 3 machines still working on it. The [link|http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/workunit.php?wuid=360886|second] is 1/4 done with 3 machines still working on it. The [link|http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/workunit.php?wuid=360090|third] has 4 machines working on it. The [link|http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/workunit.php?wuid=357913|fourth] is waiting for your machine to finish.

Our G5 has 5 open work units. My two PCs each only have 2 open work units. I think it only feeds your client enough data to do in a given time period, so you probably won't get any new stuff to download until your 4th unit is completed. But I wonder if you're still seeing effects of your phantom PC. Maybe it's waiting for the "other" PC to report something?

On the CPU usage: Is there any way you can tell the Linux BOINC client to run all the time? On Winders it defaults to stopping processing if you do anything, then takes ~ 3 minutes to start up again.

Otherwise, I don't know what's up and would have to do some googling.

but I suspect most of the other teams have lots pending too. E.g. [link|http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/results.php?hostid=3897|#3897], part of the 194 PCs (most of them SMP AthlonMP boxes) of "Steffen Grunewald, speaking for Merlin," has a lot pending.

But it will help us move past a lot of the smaller teams.

M..H..M..P!

:-)

Cheers,
Scott.

Tip I found while researching my problem

The Linux client is badly non-optimized. Several people said running the Windows client under VMWare is up to twice as fast as running the Linux client.

I guess you've seen the [link|http://boinc.us.tt/|optimized clients for Linux] then? I have no idea what issues, if any, there are in using them instead of the E@H-supplied client.

Just use the Boinc clients from...

seti@home

I know they use BOINC. And they are very quick.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]

It's a Presidents of the United States of America song...

Finally got some data

signed up yesterday but they had run out of data to send out!

Also aligned my SETI account to [link|http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=32371|Team IWETHEY] while I was at it.

Woo and Yay! We're #200!

Hey,

We're marching up the mountain very nicely. At present we're [link|http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/top_teams.php?sort_by=total_credit&offset=180|#200] in total credits, and [link|http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/top_teams.php?sort_by=expavg_credit&offset=120|#123] in Recent Average Credits (with our 2 newest members still pending). I think we'll be able to take Spain in a few days and will probably be able to take Ireland in the not too distant future.

Muahahaha! :-)

Join up if you have some spare cycles. See the head post.

Cheers,
Scott.
