Only two days left for finishing my thesis. And unfortunately the last two days have been a weekend. That meant, that I could not enter Atos where my computer was calculating the final results. This morning, I was a little nervous. Maybe somebody could have switched my computer off in between or there could have been a mistake in the calculations and I would have to start again. A calculation needs hours and this computer is not the slowest. But to my surprise, I did not have any results. The computer was still switched on, but the calculations aborted with the dooming message "out of memory".
Maybe I should not have started two calculations in parallel, although that should work fine (two cores on one CPU). No clue. I checked the programs and I could not find any bottleneck. I guess then it is a problem of the API's I use. They do not seem to be in a final release anyway. Now I try it again. With more memory assigned and only one calculation, because I need the other core for running the applications for writing the final things in the thesis. Last week calculating was not finished after two hours. No clue how long it took until it ran out of memory.
Too technical? Don't worry, only this entry. Although, I do not see the end of the tunnel right now. I need to start the Atos training and once I handed in my thesis, I have to prepare the presentation and analyse the these of my opponent. Maybe not the last technical entry.
