1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Memory problems on iMAc (Message 51236) Posted 15 Jan 2015 by Doug Post: UPDATE: Hi again, I have checked the BOINC project interface (Total Disk Usage) and I now have 8.89GB free, so the deletion of the folders seems to have worked. I'm just awaiting climatepredication.net to communicate again with the server and I presume new projects will be attached? Fingers crossed... :) Thanks once again for all your help. Kind regards, Doug.
2) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Memory problems on iMAc (Message 51234) Posted 15 Jan 2015 by Doug Post: Thanks for this, as previously mentioned to Dave, no folders matched projects that are running because none are running as there was not enough memory. I have therefore deleted everything. Let's see what happens now :) Regards, thanks again. Doug.
3) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Memory problems on iMAc (Message 51233) Posted 15 Jan 2015 by Doug Post: Hi again, okay, thank you. As there were no running projects/tasks (because it keeps asking for extra memory and I cannot find out how to increase it and it won't run without it) I have deleted all the folders in the project folder. I have "updated" the project and am awaiting the "deferred" communication to go through so will update you then. But as I say, I still need to discover how I can add more memory to the project to get it to run. I detailed earlier in this chain my current settings, do they look okay for example? Regards, Doug.
4) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Memory problems on iMAc (Message 51173) Posted 10 Jan 2015 by Doug Post: Further to my last reply, I have found the projects folder but cannot tell what's what in there, though there are loads of folders with a .GZ suffix. BOINC is still calling for more memory to be freed up for climateprediction.net when I update the projects, so very odd. In short, not wanting to break anything, I have left the above folder alone. Any thoughts? Thanks again for any help. Doug.
5) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Memory problems on iMAc (Message 51166) Posted 8 Jan 2015 by Doug Post: Thanks for the advice. I have 0.001GB left "free". 80% resources are available when computer is in use and 90% available when not in use. I have 85GB available to BOINC from my disk space. I have upped that to 185GB. I shall try and find the BOINC folder and see what's what in there. I shall keep you posted, but any other comments or help if any of the above is wrong/to little/to much etc., would be great. Thanks again, Doug.
6) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Memory problems on iMAc (Message 51014) Posted 22 Dec 2014 by Doug Post: Hi. BOINC manager keeps asking for more memory for climateprediction.net tasks. I keep adding more and more, but still there's not enough. I must be doing something wrong. Where do I go (and what do I need to do) in project preferences to increase the amount of memory available to the project? I use an Apple iMac with 24GB RAM running OS X 10.8.5 Thanks in advance. Doug.
