Problems with files not downloading from download.cpdn.org have now been fixed so I'm told. |

Problems with files not downloading from download.cpdn.org have now been fixed so I'm told. Too late for the undownloadable task I aborted after my previous post. But as if it heard you, my Mac was working on another HadCM3 from a year ago this morning that it had successfully downloaded last night. It's uploaded three trickles so far and these — like the trickles for all three of the tasks it's completed recently — are not showing in the task page. NG |

I do have a mac version of OpenIFS that could be rolled out with a bit more work. Unfortunately I don't have any the new Apple silicon to test it out on and neither do CPDN (it's built on High Sierra). You don't necessarily need an Apple Silicon machine. AFAIK the ARM based Macs do have an emulation layer for Intel applications, so if you have an Intel app it should run on an ARM equipped Mac as well provided it has been built on 64-bit only code. - - - - - - - - - - Greetings, Jens |

Yes, I know. But for testing purposes I would rather develop & test on the real hardware - it just make diagnosing problems more certain.I do have a mac version of OpenIFS that could be rolled out with a bit more work.

The second of my two massively long-running HadAM 4 tasks finished on Saturday, uploaded, and reported in. Once again the trickle has failed to appear on the task page (https://www.cpdn.org/result.php?resultid=22197506), and no credit has been awarded. I'll be setting No New Tasks on CPDN until I see the credit and trickles, and another project that does do something with the results I return can have the CPU time and donated electricty. |

To be fair, I agree if a task sent almost a year ago has only just finished, CPDN is probably not the best project for you. The current work units are much shorter but do require enough RAM that you would likely have problems running more than one at a time with anything much else running at the same time. Andy is aware of the credit problem but the contract to get the current work sorted is taking priority at the moment. In my experience, the credit problems do eventually get sorted out but it does sometimes take longer than I would like. |

Not years. The last one completed 2 Jul 2022, 4:27:24 UTC. Is your machine really that slow? Do you not have enough RAM and are thrashing to swap disk?

I don't know why these HadAM4 at N216 resolution v8.52 tasks took so long (and I got them on the rebound because the both of them had timed out after a year). Earlier ones crunched by the same host took much less time. |

Earlier ones crunched by the same host took much less time. Could this (below) be the reason? Why is its execution suspended so very, very, very often? My guess is that you are running other tasks that are much more important to your boinc client than this one was, and you had enough of them to keep this one from running for a very long time (until the deadline approaches?). Do you give CPDN a very small resource share compared to any other projects you may be running? [code]Stderr <core_client_version>7.16.6</core_client_version> <
