I just started with MindModeling@Beta .... And I\'m going to need some very explicit instructions.

We are having no luck with 64-bit Vista.
As soon as someone finds a way to run Steel Bank Common Lisp on a 64-bit windows computer all will be well.

The current test case that someone with a Win64 computer would be this:

Step 1.
Download this file
sbcl.1.013.zip

Step 2.
unzip the file [move the 2 contained files to c:\\ for simplicity]

Step 3.
Press the windows key + r together //this will pop-up a run dialog box
type \'cmd.exe\'
Press enter

Step 4.
You should now have a Command Window [DOS shell]
change directory to where your unzipped the files sbcl.exe and sbcl.core
type \'cd c:\\\'
Press enter

Step 5.
Try running Steel Bank Common Lisp
type
\'sbcl --core sbcl.core\'
press enter

5. Success or Failure
if you get a message talking about
\"Your kitten of death awaits\" -- or something like that
then we have a version of lisp that can be used by the project and I will then release a new Windows version with 64-bit windows support
otherwise
We are still in need of a free lisp implementation of Winx64

Let me know how it turns out,

Thanks Jack.

I followed your procedure with some minor problems.

In Step 1 the system wouldn\'t allow download into c:\\ as it said I didn\'t have permission. Well, I am the owner of the system, the installer of the OS and the only administrator, yet Vista X64 doesn\'t recognize me as such. Vista Ultimate X64 security is still somewhat whacked and a lot of users are haveing problems similar to this. So I downloaded it elsewhere.

In Step 3, I don\'t have a \"windows\" key to press so I used the [start search] function after the Start Button and entered \"cmd\". It found it immediately and displayed an icon in the search results.

I started a command-line session and entered the command-string exactly (?) as you specified. These are the results I got, word for word:


validation of reserved space too short.
VirtualAlloc: 0x1e7.
ensure_space: failed to validate 1044480 bytes at 0x02200000
(hint: Try \"ulimit -a\"; maybe you should increase memory limits.)


Then I realized that I had actually entered \"-core\" instead of \"--core\" as you specified. So I re-ran it and I got this:


SBCL is free software. (blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada)
VirtualAlloc: 0x57
fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 6324:
os_map: VirtualAlloc failure
Welcome to LDB, a low-level debugger for the Lisp runtime environment.
ldb>


I entered the command that was hinted in the first error message: \"ulimit -a\"
and it said \"unknown command\", so that is as far as I got.

Hope all of this helps. For the time being I\'m going to stop running the app. I will monitor this forum to see how this shakes out. When you get a solution I will try again.

Good Luck.

Evidently Win64 is possible

I don\'t yet know why it works on one and not another, but at least now there is hope.

And us poor 32 bit XP users too. I have 3 XP 32 bit machines that crash every work unit. All have 512K ram and work fine at other projects.

It seems to be a problem with sbcl. I\'ve played with sbcl 1.0.09 and 1.0.13, running it in a DOS box with sbcl --core sbcl.core and found that it runs about 50% of the time (I get the \"death kitty\" message) and gives the \"unable to find enough memory message\" or something like that the other 50%. I\'ve killed all other unnecessary processes including anti-virus and set the page file to minimum 2 Gig and max 4 Gig. I\'ve played with the settings on Control Panel->System->Advanced->Performance Settings->Advanced and tried all combinations of options under Processor Scheduling and Memory Usage but still sbcl crashes 50% of the time and work units crash 100%.

Tonight I detached this machine, made sure .../projects/mindmodeling.org_beta got deleted to ensure no leftovers, then reattached and crunched 3 work units, task IDs are 608816, 608784 and 608747, I won\'t take any new work on that machine so they should be near the top of this page. The logged stderr out for all 3 is:

OK, scratch machines with 512K or less RAM.

One of my other machines has been crunching MM units sucessfully on 64 bit Linux. It has 1 GB RAM though the video steals a bit and leaves it with 895 MB. I booted that one on 32 bit XP and tested with various versions of sbcl from the link you give above as well as 1.0.9. I conclude that 895 available RAM is not enough, the reasons are...

The best results were obtained with sbcl 1.0.9. About 50% of the work units ran for about 20 minutes, showed regular %complete increments and ended with success. A few of those have already verified against results from wingmen. The other 50% crashed within 1 minute.

I had to kill explorer.exe (to save RAM) and run boinc.exe in a DOS box to get 50% successes otherwise the work crashed.

Also tried sbcl 1.0.14.7, 1.0.14.22 and 1.0.14.14 hoping one of those implement dynamic memory allocation but it seems they don\'t. All work units finished within 1 minute (wall clock time) and claimed < 1 second CPU time but reported success. I think the success status is erroneous but may be wrong. Here is one such result. Note that work unit was crunched twice on my machine (host 1208) and now has status Done and a canonical result declared. I bet neither of those results would verify against a result from a machine with adequate RAM. Hope you\'re somehow screening canonical results because that one is likely BS.

Perhaps I installed the newer versions of sbcl incorrectly? They are distributed as a .msi file. I simply uninstalled previous version via Add/Remove Software, let the installer do its thing then copied the sbcl.exe and sbcl.core into ...boinc/projects/mindmodeling.org_beta/sbcl1.0.9.

I just started with MindModeling@Beta .... And I\'m going to need some very explicit instructions.

We are having no luck with 64-bit Vista.
As soon as someone finds a way to run Steel Bank Common Lisp on a 64-bit windows computer all will be well.

The current test case that someone with a Win64 computer would be this:

Step 1.
Download this file
sbcl.1.013.zip

Step 2.
unzip the file [move the 2 contained files to c:\\ for simplicity]

Step 3.
Press the windows key + r together //this will pop-up a run dialog box
type \'cmd.exe\'
Press enter

Step 4.
You should now have a Command Window [DOS shell]
change directory to where your unzipped the files sbcl.exe and sbcl.core
type \'cd c:\\\'
Press enter

Step 5.
Try running Steel Bank Common Lisp
type
\'sbcl --core sbcl.core\'
press enter

5. Success or Failure
if you get a message talking about
\"Your kitten of death awaits\" -- or something like that
then we have a version of lisp that can be used by the project and I will then release a new Windows version with 64-bit windows support
otherwise
We are still in need of a free lisp implementation of Winx64

Let me know how it turns out,

--Jack

Thanks Jack.

I followed your procedure with some minor problems.

In Step 1 the system wouldn\'t allow download into c:\\ as it said I didn\'t have permission. Well, I am the owner of the system, the installer of the OS and the only administrator, yet Vista X64 doesn\'t recognize me as such. Vista Ultimate X64 security is still somewhat whacked and a lot of users are haveing problems similar to this. So I downloaded it elsewhere.

In Step 3, I don\'t have a \"windows\" key to press so I used the [start search] function after the Start Button and entered \"cmd\". It found it immediately and displayed an icon in the search results.

I started a command-line session and entered the command-string exactly (?) as you specified. These are the results I got, word for word:


validation of reserved space too short.
VirtualAlloc: 0x1e7.
ensure_space: failed to validate 1044480 bytes at 0x02200000
(hint: Try \"ulimit -a\"; maybe you should increase memory limits.)


Then I realized that I had actually entered \"-core\" instead of \"--core\" as you specified. So I re-ran it and I got this:


SBCL is free software. (blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada)
VirtualAlloc: 0x57
fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 6324:
os_map: VirtualAlloc failure
Welcome to LDB, a low-level debugger for the Lisp runtime environment.
ldb>


I entered the command that was hinted in the first error message: \"ulimit -a\"
and it said \"unknown command\", so that is as far as I got.

Hope all of this helps. For the time being I\'m going to stop running the app. I will monitor this forum to see how this shakes out. When you get a solution I will try again.

Good Luck.

Evidently Win64 is possible

I don\'t yet know why it works on one and not another, but at least now there is hope.

Thanks for all your testing,
Hopefully a solid workaround is identified soon.
If someone with this problem would like to test other intermediate sbcl version for win 32 and 64, they can be found here

I downloaded latest sbcl from the link above.
I also noted sbcl-win64.patch file. Has anybody checked compilation with this patch file?

Anyway, latest build doesn\'t give error as many posted and seems to work fine in command-line version.

So far I haven\'t been able to get the Projects WU\'s to run on my 64 Bit PC\'s when using either a 32 or 64 Bit BOUNC Client. The BOINC Client starts and the WU\'s say their running but there\'s no activity at all for the CPU in the Task Manager & theirs no advancement of Time in the BOINC Manager ... ???

Hello,

I had the same problem, all wu in error. This is what I did.

Downloaded and installed this program

http://www.peerweb.nl/sbcl/sbcl-1.0.14.22-x86-windows-binary.msi

then I go to X:\\Program Files(x86)\\Boinc\\xxxxx\\1.0.14...\\

I copy all file and paste them to X:\\Programmes\\Boinc\\project\\MindModeling.org_beta\\sbcl1.0.13-x86-windows\\...

then I open a cmd.exe as Administrator, cd to this folder
X:\\Programmes\\Boinc\\project\\MindModeling.org_beta\\sbcl1.0.13-x86-windows\\
and rename sbcl.exe mm_sblc.exe and at last (but I am not sure this is necessary) I typed

mm_sbcl --core sbcl.core --dynamic-space-size 128

and now it works with Vista 64 (2Go of memory, Q6600 inside) and Boinc 5.10.30 64b.

My computer

If you don\'t unterstand all, it is normal, I am french and don\'t speak English. :-)

thx... it also NOT Running on my Windowx XP x64

So, Mr. Harris :)
With all that great work by the other members, any thoughts on when the next Windows version will be available that will work on Vista?

Just to let people know, I tried a patched version of sbcl for Jack with successful results on a Windows Vista Ultimate machine (32-bit, Core2 Duo T7300 @ 2.0 GHz.) Hoping this will be of use in getting out the next version soon.

Just to let people know, I tried a patched version of sbcl for Jack with successful results on a Windows Vista Ultimate machine (32-bit, Core2 Duo T7300 @ 2.0 GHz.) Hoping this will be of use in getting out the next version soon.

I have two computers running Vista: One 32-bit home premium the other 64-bit Ultimate. Both computers are running MM workunits with a 99% success rate. (3 validate errors out of 200+ workunits)

Both computers are running version 5.10.45 (32-bit and 64-bit respectively) with no modifications that I am aware of.

Both are running sbcl1.0.13-x86-windows.zip

If you want more info, I will try to give it to you.

A patch is no longer neccessary for the 64-bit client.
The 3.4+ version all include the patched version of the Lisp virtual machine we use (SBCL).
