Hi, I understand that credits are awarded after trickles are reported. How often are these supposed to be reported?

I have no credits according to BOINC manager and the CPDN site.

I have been crunching hadcm3lb version 5.15 for over 15 hours. Is this not long enough to get a credit?

Other BOINC projects have awarded credits without any problems.

Hi,

Credits are calculated daily, so you may need to wait up to 24 hours (usually less) after the trickle.

-Cheers,

Mike

15 hours might not be enough, depending what else you might be crunching, the speed of your computer, etc. Trickles are sent back every project year. I have one machine that sends a trickle back every about 30-40 hours.

I believe the trickles are created every 01-Dec of each project year.

Keep a watch, the credits will come.

Every 0.625% from what I recall.

I asked a similar question over on another thread. I`ve been crunching over 25hrs now and passed 12000 time steps. According to the faq`s it should of reported now. Are they wrong? The answers in this thread answered my question (I think)
Thx

edit-question answered on other thread.

The FAQ need to be updated. No-one had noticed, so it\'s just as well that you pointed this out.

Bird-Dog, as a model year is about 26000 timesteps, at this rate your computer will need at least 2 full days for each model year. From your computer specs, I would have thought it should crunch faster than this.

Are you running the screensaver all the time?

Never used the screensaver but had several looks at the graphics, working things out, back up timeings etc. Lost time doing back ups (practice since I`m new), think I`ve got it now. About time to clean the fans etc as well.

In your advanced options, answer YES to the question \'Leave applications in memory while preempted?\'. Then, when you suspend the model, it won\'t go back to the previous checkpoint and repeat calculations.

I do other projects so it has always been `yes` to leave in memory in the general preferences. Where is this Advanced options you mentioned or are they the same thing.
Thanks for your replys.

Yes, same thing - General Preferences on the Your Account page (the terminology is from the BBC/CCE project :-) )
