Hi , I have a 64bit Linux server

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz [Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6]
(2 processors) 2GB memory
Linux Debian Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) [6.1.0-23-amd64|libc 2.36]

It always errors when given a 4_gaia task. I can customise which projects I accept and omit 4, but it would be better to understand why ? Are there GPU or large memory requirements for this application ? If so it would be good to understand what they were

<core_client_version>7.20.5</core_client_version>

pretty sure it's because your CPU is too old.

the only other person I've seen that could run _6 but not _4 also had a very old Core2 era CPU. this CPU lacks many modern CPU features like SSE4 and AVX. it seems that _4 uses some of these features but _6 does not, which is why that one works for you.

Thanks, that certainly would explain it. Better not try my Pentium 4 Linux server :) , though I see only 64 bit apps are supported.


It still runs WCG & einstein tasks
