I'm not the slightest bit surprised, esp. since Monte Carlo is used quite a bit in FE (apparently). To date, the strongest systems/CPU for something like has always been POWER-based or quite possibly the Itanium2 (since it's architecture is quite similiar to the PPC series). It still won't be quite ...

I think that on my system that's currently getting the seg faults, it's running SLES10 SP2 x64.

It tells you that you returned a valid result that's been credited. You seg fault issue is still a mystery for me (and none of our tools can tell why they happen ... they even don't see them). But other than that, there's really not much more that I can do in order to chase down the root cause of t...

Good to know. Thanks guys.

Passing Memtest is essential, but Prime95 tests a differnt part of your processor than FAH uses (standard integer operations rather than the floating point arithmetic done by FAH). Have you run StressCPU2? It's a lot more representative of what Gromacs does. No, I have not. I shall look into that a...

Don't take it personally, but frequent segmentation faults that cannot be reproduced are a sign of an unstable system. I'd agree with you, but I/we haven't been able to find a known, consistent cause of it though. Therefore; without which, it is practically impossible to chase down the source of th...

Does anybody know how to configure Solaris such that I would be able to install Windows XP Pro via PXE? I've seen a bunch of guides available that uses Sysangel and like a mini-Linux for tftp, DHCP server, and DNS (I think). I know that I've done a PXE install of Solaris from another Solaris system ...

According to the data that I've got per the system log (i.e. 2>&1 | tee -a fah2.txt), the WU was successfully completed May 10 13:33 UTC 2009 and was sent successfully May 10 13:44 UTC 2009.

P.S. tee doesn't capture ALLL of the console_out stuff. (for example, the FLOP assessment at the end -- it doesn't capture that.) So, I might end up having to switch it to that other method if I want to try and make sure it captures it all. Just a quickie FYI. the G17s seemed to have otherwise finis...
