[OCAU] badger 2006-07-31 03:28:06 | I run with the task manager in the background, and I've noticed large (~35 second) gaps where CPU utilisation drops from 100% to pretty close to 0. This coincides with the end of a simulation, and running the commandline I noticed it is because muon is trying to update the sample files and lattice files when the old ones are more than a certain age. That would be fine, except they are simply timing out, wasting precious processing seconds each time. The files at http://stephenbrooks.org/muon1/samplefiles/{lattice}_100.bin seem to be there, so I can't figure out why muon isn't able to update them... I've now turned off the auto updates, but there must be a better solution... |

[TA]JonB 2006-08-01 15:47:13 | I see a slight drop in CPU usage also on a dual core Opteron, but not all the way to zero, just to 85 or 90% On a single core AMD64 I haven't seen that. What cpu(s) are you running? |
