1) Message boards : Number crunching : Slow progress rate for HadAM4 at N216 (Message 61424)

I had two machines that didn't have the 32-bit libraries installed and they didn't get any work sent to them despite hitting the update button multiple times during the day. Once I installed the indicated libraries and rebooted the machine, I got work immediately after hitting the update button. Currently running 25 N216 units on one of the machines and they seem to be well behaved so far. Some are at 238 hours with 99 hours to go. Most should end under 400 hours.

Is any work being sent to machines with AMD processors? The only machines I have that don't have work are machines with AMD processors. These are Linux machines.

AMDs work fine. Make sure your computers have the right 32 bit libraries installed. See this post for more info...

Thanks for the reply, they were missing a few of the needed 32-bit libraries. One of the libraries (lib32ncurses5) was not found when trying to install. Installed lib32ncurses6 and that seems to work OK. This is also running on Ubuntu 19.10. This machine has downloaded 16 WUs so far so all seems well.

Haven't contributed since about 2013 and was wanting to return and contribute but before I start adding my machines to the project I was wondering if this project is going to remain 32-bit on Linux for the foreseeable future. Most Linux distributions are going to start dropping support for 32-bit very soon and I have removed the 32-bit architecture from most of my machines.

Ubuntu and their downstream flavors all stopped shipping x86 32-bit images and now for the 19.10 cycle they have decided to stop their i386 support entirely. Beginning with Ubuntu 19.10, the archive/packages will not be built for x86 32-bit.

*** update *** I think I found my answer in another thread from the end of 2018. It seems 64-bit isn't a near term thing for this project. Unfortunately that eliminates me. Good Luck moving forward
