I had to reboot one of my computers after installing a driver and it happened to be just shortly after a trickle had been submitted. Apparently when it returned to working on the run again, it crossed that \'trickle point\' again. The host ID is hostid=12129 Here\'s the trickles: Time Sent (UTC) Host ID Result ID Result Name Phase Timestep CPU Time (sec) Average (sec/TS) 14 Sep 2004 01:56:59 hidden 40136 04lp_000030961_0 1 162030 414263 2.5567 14 Sep 2004 00:07:00 hidden 40136 04lp_000030961_0 1 162030 414250 2.5566 I took the time to \'exit\' the BOINC client rather than having the OS call for it to shut down, since I was under the impression that this would assure that the run would save at the point it was at. Looks like it instead went back to a checkpoint that was just prior to the trickle. |

Your honesty is admirable, but there's no need to worry about being given too many credits. Credits are only assigned the first time the run passes a trickle point. Checkpointing is done every 144 timesteps (3 model days) and they don't coincide with the 10802 timestep trickle points. <a href="http://www.teampicard.net"><img src="http://www.teampicard.net/templates/fisubice/images/phpbb2_logo.jpg"></a><a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/team_display.php?teamid=3">Join us here</a> |

Thanks for the quick response, Thyme. :) Makes me feel sorry for folks that have to reboot or turn their computers off more often than I... they must lose a lot of time over the span of a CPDN run. :( |

yes its possible the trickle got sent again. but you don't get additional credit. Did the math and it works out correct |

Its obvious from my question that I was too darn lazy to add up the credits myself and then you went and did it. ;) Ah well, thanks for letting me know for sure! :) |
