Dynamic Load Balancing

My 3 SB systems are all running flavours of Linux (Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04 and Linux Mint 12.0).

They all have the same problem when folding either smp or bigadv WUs. (6.34)

Sometimes dynamic load balancing switches on and sometimes not (I'm using verbosity 9).

Sometimes I can persuade it to switch on by turning the computer off completely and then back on but sometimes it fails to come on at all.

I have tried various ck kernels but they seem to crash a lot.

I wonder if the Kraken would help ?

Does anyone know of a solution as this is driving me up the wall

 

Sorry, jondi and phoenicis had a discussion about it last year and they got no where either.

Maybe you can chase it up with PG or search their forums.

 

Thanks, I will post on PG forum to see if they have a solution (although I'm not hopeful )

I'm pretty sure I remember this question coming up a few weeks ago. IIRC, there was a link to a post a Stanford where someone official said they can't guarantee it working over a cluster as there is no publicly available client that will work (officially) over a cluster. I'll post a link later if I find it.

EDIT:

I found the link...

It explains a few reasons why it can't be done.

 

Thanks debs although that issue is different (I don't have a cluster) to the problem I have.
