RouterOS and SMP (multi-core and multi-cpu) crashes

We have made a new RouterOS build that supposedly fixes some issues that caused multicore systems to crash. If anyone is interested to test their previously crashing Xeon, i7, Core2Duo or any other machine with several processing parts, please contact support for a test package.

what modules of RouterOS does this fix affect? I have v3.22 on Core2Duo, works pretty stable (some previous versions of v3 tested with multi-cpu=yes were crashing)

layer7 or address lists related

I don’t use layer7, but have more than 600 address lists entries, and some are changing from day to day - still no problems with multicore. and it’s our Internet router (with PPP and Queueing). internal core routers uses even higher number of address-lists entries, they did not expirience multicore issues even on early v3 =) am I lucky?

very nice. well some people had problems, so we fixed them

Does this also fix issue with the cpu’s spikeing to 100% usage and locking up the dude?

which issue?

I had problems with QoS (address list and l7 related). I might be interested on it
But i experienced BGP issues too.

:open_mouth: :open_mouth: sure?? you fix it. this is a very good news. can you sent that version because i had 4 mikrotiks level 6 all in multicore = no because they always crash. please sent that version i am very very very interest on it

Normis what is that version?. Because i sent a email to support and they said that all version are on the web.

did you mention this topic? it’s not version but package for 3.23, I believe…

My friend 111111 said that AMD never crashes bur Intel does :Р for multicore :slight_smile:

It is a pre-release version of 3.24 (just few days older than one with PCC). Also there is winbox support for PCC included.

Regarding SMP - router that was crushing once or twice every day is up and running for 5 days now. (have 5 layer-7 filters and ~1000 address-list entries)

maybe that’s wright
i have core 2 due Intel 2.8
my cpu 3% then 15% and totter between these numbers …

when that happen its continue until restart my MK .. when i restart the MK work fine … then i don’t the cause…without reason

its return to totter again .

2ms between all this picture !
not normal at all

dormador, are you running the latest v3.24? if not, please wait until it’s released. what I said applies only to v3.23

yes Mr.Normis

am running v3.23 I will be wait v3.24 i think it will be great .

HP server with Xeon QuadCore, crashed after 6hours - MT 3.24

With multu-cpu=no - works stable

Please send a supiut.rif to support.

Did you test the machine with stresstest, for example StressPrime 2004 Orthos, so you would be sure that the RAM is fine and the cooling is OK?

Hi.

I have crashes on every multicore router (more than 10 in network).
Only solution is set multi-cpu=no

  • 2 HP servers,
  • Supermicro motherboards with Xeons QuadCore and Core2Quad

so that is no problem with ram or temperature for sure

some times ago I sent supout file, they told me that I have to much simple queue rules…
I have disame problem on router with 10 simple queue rules

regards

most people that reported crashes before, now have them all fixed with v3.24. I suspect there is something different in your setups, maybe configuration, maybe some specific motherboard family …

Hardware:
Supermicro X7SBL-LN1 Motherboard
2GB DDR2-800MHz ECC Kingston CL5 kit 2x1GB
