Ubuntu :: Reserve Cpu Core For Management?

Jun 24, 2011

I run a few programs that are very resource intensive, and although my computer has 4 cores, it keeps "freezing": it still works, I can see that my downloads keep on going, it's just too slow to show me a terminal screen so that I can kill whatever program got out of line.

It may be a bit complicated, but I suppose that there should be a way to do it: how can I keep some "cpu usage" from being used? I don't know, maybe reserve a core for management? Or throw the problematic programs in a "box" of limited processing power?

I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question, I'm a bit of a noob, but that would help me a lot. Of course, if someone has a better suggestion for my problem, I'd appreciate it very much.

That's the message I see briefly right before I am booted into Ubuntu Meerkat. It's right after the boot menu and the boot into Ubuntu begins and the screen is still black when that message appears.

Ubuntu :: Shpchp 0000:00:01.0 - Cannot Reserve MMIO Region ?

May 7, 2010

What's up with this log message?

shpchp 0000:00:01.0: Cannot reserve MMIO region

After grub loads I get a flashing cursor then I get this message on the screen.

This is what I found in dmesg:

shpchp 0000:00:01.0: HPC vendor_id 1022 device_id 9602 ss_vid 0 ss_did 0

shpchp 0000:00:01.0: Cannot reserve MMIO region

shpchp: Standard Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.4

I'm running an AMD laptop With Lucid x86_64, a custom install I did off the alternate iso with onlyLXDE installed.

All my hardware works fine and this just seems like some sort of bug.

Is there anyway I can silence all kernel messages at bootup?

This is what I have in /etc/default/grub and it's not working to silence it.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=0 splash"

Ubuntu :: Reserve Large Amount Of Space From New Partition

Mar 5, 2011

In gparted I have the following stats for my /home drive

size: 824 gb
used 75.51 gb
unused 748.59 gb

Now when I view this in nautilus it shows something else: remaining free space as 709 gb. My question is what happened to the 40gbs? the 75.51gb are my files, but where did the 40gbs go to? Because 709 (total remaining) + 75 (my files) + 40 (mysteriously lost gbs) = 824gb. When I first made the partiton, it was a 824gb partition and ubuntu had automatically at that point reserved about 40gb for something. Does anyone know why Ubuntu reserved this space?

Hardware :: Assign / Reserve PTS Ports In Certain Order

Jun 17, 2010

I have several environments in which I am using Thin Clients as terminal emulators to Red Hat servers. I have been deploying Thin Clients for the past few years to replace old WYSE dumb terminals. One problem I am having is that the dumb terminals were serial so they were on a specific tty port. The Thin Clients however connect on the first available pts port, I really don't have control over the port each Thin Client connects on, other then possibly making sure they are always started in a certain order, which isn't a feasible option. What I am wondering is if anyone knows a way to control which pts port a thin client connects on; I'm guessing it would have to be by hostname or IP, I just can't figure out how.

OpenSUSE :: Get Application To Utilize More Than One Core In Multi-core Setup?

Mar 27, 2011

I have a command line OCR program called OCR Shop XTR (Vividata corp) that I am using on a system with a 6-core AMD chip. I changed the bios so that the 6-cores were activated, but htop shows me that while the program is running, I am only getting activity on one core (the program maxes out the one core with consistent usage between 97% and 100%).

I have read that many programs are not written to take advantage of multiple core cpu's. However, I am just hoping that there is some way to get this program to take advantage of the extra cores. Does anyone know of a way to invoke programs from the command line which would spread the workload out among additional cores?

Here is the output of uname -a:Linux linux 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-02-21 10:34:10 +0100 i686 athlon i386 GNU/LinuxAnd here is the output for one of the cores from cat /proc/cpuinfo:processor : 5

vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 16
model : 10
model name : AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T Processor

Debian :: Wheezy Only Recognizes 1 Core Or Dual Core CPU?

Sep 7, 2011

I have now installed Wheezy on two different hard drives and in each case it seems only one CPU of my dual core CPU computer is recognized. System Monitor, Gkrellm and lscpu show just one when prior to the new install the old Wheezy showed both CPU's. I have put the hard drive into two other computers with dual core CPU's and all show just one CPU.

Interestingly System Profiler and Benchmark (hardinfo?) > Devices > Processors now show a large amount of processor infomation when with the old Wheezy I would only see both CPU's listed and nothing else.

General :: Only One Core Of Dual Core Processor Are Working

Mar 14, 2011

I recently read in a forum that by default the Linux kernel only activates one of two cores in a dual core processor. Searching online gave one option to find out and that was the mpstat command. I therefore ran the command and got the following output.As the result says, it shows only 1 cpu. I was wondering what I could do to activate both cores in my machine, and whether doing so was going to cause me any problems.

General :: Sun Grid Engine - Reserve Multiple Cpus On Hosts

Mar 14, 2011

I am somewhat familiar with SGE (Sun Grid Engine, now Oracle Grid Engine) commands but am having a problem when running parallel jobs.

Present Machine configuration:
machine I - 12 cpus
machine II - 12 cpus
machine III - 12 cpus
.... so on ...
One_machine - 16 cpus

(I have all machine of 12 cpus and 1 machine having 16 cpus)

I want to schedule jobs on these machine such that if I ask for 12 cpus - my jobs should execute on any of the machines which has all 12 free cpus (eg machine I or machine II) in this case.

Eg. suppose I ask for 24 cpus

Option I : 12@machine1 12@machine2 ----- I need this

Options II : 10@machin1 10@machine2 4@machine3 ---- I don't need such a distribution

Hence, Option I is ideal here. Also, when running 12 jobs on machine1 (say) - even if all 12 cpus are not being used at some instance of time, none of the 12 cpus should be freed.
In short, until my run finishes, all blocked cpus should remain blocked.

If you may understand, the purpose here is to run some performance tests.

I'm using 'qrsh' to launch jobs.

Fedora Installation :: Upgrading From Core 4 To Core 10?

May 20, 2009

I have created a virtual machine of a system running Fedora Core 4 and I need to upgrade it to Fedora Core 10. Based on what I have read, it iis possible so I started theupgrade process. I get an error message saying that /dev/hda6 (my root paritition does not exist) even though it does.

Does the installer need to read a label from /etc/fstab? I executed tune2fs -L / /dev/hda6 amd ,and added LABEL=/ for the corresponding entry for fstab. but the FEDORA CORE 10 is still giving the same problems for the installation process. Should I upgrade to an intermediate verson like Fedora Core 7 first?

General :: Processes And CPU 4-core - Which Core The Program Used?

Mar 26, 2011

I've a program that launches new processes, and wait for them to die before it exits. So, for example, my program is a process, and it launches 3 more processes, and when the 3 child processes end, it will exit.

As you see, at end of the example, the program used a total number of 4 processes.

1 - Now, I'm running this program in a CPU with 4 cores. This means that the program used each core for each process?

2 - How can I know which core the program used?

Slackware :: 13.37 System Or Wine / Warning: Failed To Reserve Range 00010000-00110000?

Instead of being only a warning, I think it's breaking down and don't know exactly it's a wine or OS problem.

Programming :: Core Dump Issues. Program Crashes But Does Not Generate Core Dump File?

Oct 7, 2009

I want to generate core dump files from my program when it crashes. Its a pretty big process and has about 10-11 threads in it.I have followed the documentation to enable core dump by setting ulimit to unlimited etc. I quickly tried "A demo program creating a core dump" from the following webpage, which succeeds in Segfault and dumping a core file in the directory that I configured.However, I tried running my original program and caused it to crash. I did this by making calls to kill(), raise() or the same null pointer access as shown in the webpage above. In each case, my program crashed but did not generate a core dump file. Am I missing something?My program is in C++ and my environment is Redhat 9.0 (kernel 2.4.20)

Going through the "Why do I NOT get a core dump?" section on the same webpage as above, I can see two potential problems. One - there are issues with the suid/sgid (bullet # 6). I am not able to change any settings with suid because my system does not contain either /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable or /proc/sys/kernel/suid_dumpableTwo, my program has threads in it and the bullet # 8 is the problem.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Infiniband (mlx4) Works On 16-core System But (now) Fails On 32-core System

Jan 27, 2010

We have a small cluster of 20 HP systems, all running CentOS 5.3 in an NFS-root environment. Half are quad-socket, quad-core Xeon E7340 @ 2.40GHz (total 16 cores), the other half are 8-socket, quad-core Opteron 8354 (total 32 cores). All systems have a Mellanox Infiniband adapter ("Mellanox Technologies MT25418 [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0 2.5GT/s - IB DDR / 10GigE] (rev a0)")

With kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5, infiniband works fine on all systems.

With the update to kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 (and both types of node running the same NFS-root image), the 16-core Xeons still work fine. Infiniband no longer works on the 32-core Opterons. Specifically, either the ib0 interface fails to appear, or it does appear but when configured with an IP address, doesn't actually work. In either case, loading the IB kernel modules takes a long time, but I haven't instrumented the load script yet to see which module, if any, is at fault. More errors listed below.

However, if I tweak the BIOS of the 32-core systems to reduce the per-socket core count to 2 (so effectively 8-socket, dual-core, down to a total of 16 available cores), Infiniband starts working again. Putting it back to 32-cores makes it fail. Booting the older kernel makes it work again. In summary: old kernel, IB works on all systems. Newer kernel, IB only works on 16-core systems.

Updating the IB firmware from 2.5.0 to 2.7.0 (latest available) doesn't help. I also did a full 'yum update' to make sure that libmlx4, openibd all other associated packages were up-to-date. Doesn't help either.

Some errors that appear on 32-core nodes:

ib_query_port failed (-16) for mlx4_0
ib_query_port failed (-16) for mlx4_0
mlx4_core 0000:04:00.0: SW2HW_MPT failed (-16)
mlx4_core 0000:04:00.0: SW2HW_MPT failed (-16)

Software :: Java "Could Not Reserve Enough Space For Object Heap"

I'm having trouble setting Java up on my virtual private server. It works fine when running under root, but if I run it under a normal user account I get this error message:

Quote:

Presumably the memory allowed to be used is being limited, but I can't figure out how to change it. I've tried adjusting the -Xmx argument, but the highest value at which it will work is 18MB, which is not enough.

This is the ulimit output for the root and user accounts respectively:

Code:

Code:

I suspect the problem is due to the virtual memory, but there doesn't appear to be any way to set the value in limits.conf. If I manually lower it to 200000kB under root I get the same error message.

Ubuntu Networking :: LAN Management GUI?

Jun 9, 2010

I've been using Ubuntu since 2006, and love it! I've even gotten a few others hooked when their Windows machines crapped out due to viruses or other problems. And Ubuntu has only gotten better.Now I'm trying to build a home network around a wireless router (Linksys). I'm set up with a desktop wired to the router, and two laptops regularly connect wirelessly. The wireless router is connected to a cable modem. Everything works fine (except getting the Ubuntu laptop to connect wirelessly using WPA).

What I would like to do is use the desktop as a server, so I can see who is connected at any given time, control security protocol, edit the MAC address list, boot off unwanted users, etc. I can do most of this by connecting to 192.168.1.1, but would prefer something on the desktop.
Looking through the Software Center, the only thing I can find is KontrolPack. Anyone use this? Will this give me the functions I want?
