Hi, After moving memory around, memtest86 (and the BIOS memtest) detected no errors. If people can try to stress test combinat.math.washington.edu for the next 24 hours (especially with large-memory computations), that would be very useful!

This machine was purchased using the recent Sage-Combinat NSF Computional Mathematics grant co-PI'ed by Anne, Dan, Gregg, William and (unofficially for I am an alien) myself.

Re: [sage-combinat-devel] Re: combinat out again?
Hi William, Is combinat.math.washington.edu out once again? The machine does not seem to respond. I saw that several people were running heavy computations on it for the last week and until yesterday, everything seemed fine.

It's not crashed due to a memory error, since it responds to ping requests. However, I can't ssh into it, which can happen when too many people run jobs at once (and the vm.overcommit ratio is too big, and there isn't enough swap). I'll get the sysadmins to reboot the machine tomorrow morning, then tighten up the vm.overcommit, and add more swap. -- William > I saw that several people were running heavy computations on it for the > last week and until yesterday, everything seemed fine. > > Thanks, > > Anne > > On 12/6/12 10:36 AM, William Stein wrote: >> Hi, >> >> After moving memory around, memtest86 (and the BIOS memtest) detected >> no errors.

The vm.overcommit stuff looks fine -- it's the same settings as on sage.math, etc. Later today, I'm going to add an extra 96GB of swap to the little 32GB of swap currently there; this should help with stability a lot.

I changed the vm.overcommit settings to: vm.overcommit_memory=2 vm.overcommit_ratio=60 and I've added the swap, so now there's 134GB of swap: root@combinat:/etc# free total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem: 198068436 20060256 178008180 0 5854844144288 -/+ buffers/cache: 15330484 182737952 Swap:134537208 0 134537208 Let me know if there's any trouble.
