In 32-bit Linux, '-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' must be added to the compile flags to handle files over 2 GB. If you're using gcc in either Cygwin or MinGW, you may need to do the same thing.

[QUOTE=jbristow;119993]Is there any way to feed msieve multiple batches of partial relations for postprocessing? I'm doing a factorization where I expect I'll need ~40M partial relations, but this causes the file size to be >4GB, so my Win32 msieve binary can't open the file. I'm trying to compile a Win64 version (which I imagine would fix this issue?), but I was curious if there was another way around this.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for all of the replies. I'm running 64-bit Windows Vista on a NTFS filesystem, but using the precompiled Win32 msieve binary. I can create files over 4 GB, copy them between folders, etc. When I create a 3.7 GB subset of partial relations, msieve runs fine. However, if I try to use a 4.4 GB set of relations, I get the error:

error: cannot open savefile 'msieve.dat'

right after the line that includes the size score, murphy alpha, etc.

I've tried adding a set of duplicate relations to the successful 3.7 GB file (just to make sure the error isn't due to a corrupt file) that results in a file over 4 GB and I get the same error.

I can reproduce the problem locally. A cygwin-compiled binary reads the file without trouble, and I modified the compile arguments to do the right thing on unix, but the MinGW side of things is problematic.

A little digging turned up [url="http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1850022&SiteID=1"]this post[/url] on one of the MSDN forums that seems to point the blame at Microsoft's C runtime library not doing the right thing when a large file is opened for writing. The solution appears to require switching to Microsoft's API functions, which don't have buffered file IO like their unix equivalents do. This means fixing the problem requires producing windows and non-windows versions of the file-reading code, which would look very different from each other. Grr.

Hi Jason,

Before looking at the Windows API functions for file I/O, try adding "b" to the mode specified with your fopen called as in fopen(filename,"rb").

While Paul Leyland was doing the filtering for the M811 project by NFSNET there were some very odd things happening and I eventually tracked it down to a problem in the Microsoft run time library. The problem manifested itself in a different way but it was related to reading files larger than 4G in size. Simply adding "b" to the mode on fopen() was enough to work around it.

The "b" ought to be ignored when compiled on non-Windows platforms. To be safe you could use a #defined value based on the architecture you're compiling for.

[QUOTE=jasonp;120038]I know that FAT32 has a 2GB file size limit, but this is the first time I've heard about a 4GB file size limit. NTFS isn't supposed to have a limit on file size, is this a limitation of the C runtime library msvcrt.dll on windows? Looking on google doesn't turn up anything obvious.

QS and NFS postprocessing is very careful to only access files sequentially, performing several passes if needed.[/QUOTE]

In Windows XP I have a 4 GB limit on my FAT32 partitions, and no limit on my NTFS partitions.

(A few times I spent time trying to find bugs in my computer, only to realize I tried to place a 4+ Gb file on a FAT32 partition :whistle: )

This partially fixes the problem. The files can be opened and read, but attempting to append bytes using stdio functions like fprintf and fwrite causes a segfault. Looks like I need to write a savefile abstraction layer specifically for windows.

Thanks for the tip!

Crash in sqrt
 

Jason,

I have a case, the Smarandache number sm94 actually, in which the binary from the website crashes in sqrt near the end of "multiplying xxx relations" but a Cygwin compiled binary works properly. The log file is below. Since the Cygwin binary worked, I'm not sure how to debug this locally. What do you use to compile the official binary? Otherwise, I can provide everything for you to download as a 2 GB tar file.

[QUOTE=frmky;120290]
I have a case, the Smarandache number sm94 actually, in which the binary from the website crashes in sqrt near the end of "multiplying xxx relations" but a Cygwin compiled binary works properly. The log file is below. Since the Cygwin binary worked, I'm not sure how to debug this locally. What do you use to compile the official binary? Otherwise, I can provide everything for you to download as a 2 GB tar file.

My guess is that win32 fails to allocate a huge number of small blocks of memory, but cygwin uses an advanced package like dlmalloc (IIRC this is also used in GGNFS) which succeeds. Does the sqrt need close to 2GB of memory before failing? At the least there should be complaints on malloc failure throughout the library.

Please PM when the download is ready. The official binary is compiled in MinGW using gcc 3.4.5

The memory use oscillates from as large as 700MB to as little as 150MB or so during the run, but at the point of the crash it's using about 350MB. The computer this was running on only has 1.25GB of memory.

The tar file contains everything ready to run the sqrt step.

I downloaded your tar file. As I suspected, the win32 binary runs out of VM just before completing the product of all the relations (this is when the biggest FFTs happen). It looks like my top priority is going to be getting the square root to take up less memory than the linear algebra; it's already getting in the way of finishing factorizations that would otherwise fit into one machine, and the problems will only get worse as people run huge GNFS jobs.

I've been getting errors trying to use 4-threaded Lanczos using Msieve 1.32 on my quad core. I just compiled a 64-bit version using Visual Studio 2008 tonight, so that may be relevant. The rest of the filtering has been working fine. I'm going to try 2 threads overnight to see if that works. Thanks.
