Well done to Team England for getting into the BOINC Top 100.

Again :P

I have a pending credit of 411,717.83

I was wondering if there is a reason for so much and outstanding for so long.

I\'m working on a new website, please take a look if you can www.arizmoon.com

Thanks for looking; updates have been recently made if you would like to look again :)

A reminder to all who are up for entering the SETI Sideshow (click on my sig for details) - it\'s starting this coming Sunday - just a week to go.

We\'d like to see a blitz on SETI for the two weeks whilst the Gauntlet is on. Support/involvement from other teams would also be good - it\'s all for a bit of fun and friendly competition. Who knows, we might get them to Sideshow Climate sometime...

Please join our sideshow to the Kings International Gauntlet 2007.

Team England were too late to enter the Gauntlet and have decided to support the Gauntlet by having a SETI Sideshow. All teams are welcome to join us.

The Team England SETI Sideshow will run in parallel to the Gauntlet and will start on Sunday the 4th of November 2007 at 20:00 hrs GMT+1 and will end at Sunday the 18th of November 2007 at 20:00 hr GMT+1.

There are no restrictions of how many or can crunch for SETI during the Sideshow, and even new joiners during the Sideshow can contribute.

Please join us. If we can\'t be in the gauntlet, then let\'s support it by crunching as much as we can in the Sideshow.

All you need to do to enter is to say that your team is in, and to publish a snapshot of your boincstats, or your own graphs, each day at the agreed time and keep your daily, cumulative and final credit scores. It\'s all for a bit of fun and to give SETI a bit of a boost. Oh, and may the best team win ;)

26) Message boards : Number crunching : 1st to finish ? (Message 30550)

I wouldn\'t bother trying it again. These negative pressure results mean the model\'s produced climate that\'s impossible in the real world due to that combination of inital parameter values. An unstable computer eg too far overclocked can also produce impossible climate. But if you\'re sure the computer\'s running stably, then it means you got an impossible model. It took a long time to freak out.

If you look at its graph, you\'ll see that it\'s only just an outlier, above the usual upper temperatures.

Still, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you took it as far as it could go.

OK, thanks Mo. I\'ll leave this one be. (I\'m not running any clocked PCs.)

Some of us think that backups made by a ghosting program with boinc running will sometimes turn out to be restorable but not always. I suspect you\'ve had an example of each.

If you exit boinc before backing up the boinc folder, almost 100% of the backups will be perfect. But if you have a number of computers, I appreciate that the hassle of exiting boinc on all the machines may be too time-consuming to be worth while, particularly if your computers rarely crash models. Easier to make frequent backups with boinc running even if the odd one turns out not to run.

It will be interesting to see whether the model crashes again at the same point. If it does, it really will be impossible climate that the model itself has generated. This is probably the most likely outcome but you never know. Let us know what happens.


I take your point about the ghosting backup, and the risk v. time available to do a number of backups. But with a number of PCs I\'m crunching I doubt whether I would do manual backups, and with ghost at least I may have half a chance. (I\'m also doing some BBC and SAP as well as SETI, Einstein and Rosetta.)

I re-ran it, after upgrading to the latest version of BOINC, and also running it on a different (better) PC. But it crashed again at the (I think) identical point in May 2079. I took a (ghost) backup 30 minutes or so before it crashed the second time, and I expect I\'ll give it another re-run sometime, just out of curiosity, just in case ;)

When a cpdn model\'s complete the graph says 1920 - 2080 (BBC models said - 2081 for some unknown reason). So yours missed the last two trickles.

Are you sure that these auto backups presumably done with boinc and workunit running are really reliably restorable? When you restored the backup, did the model crunch at all? Surely it should have crunched for a little while, even a few minutes, until the negative value was created again. If the restored backup showed 100% complete immediately and without crunching, I wonder whether there was something wrong with the backup. Or was your auto backup scheduled to run after the model had already crashed?

If you are backing up frequently and saving at least the 2 most recent backup copies, what about trying to restore the previous backup of this model?

Some incomplete models are generating Over - Success - Done when they really shouldn\'t, but this is a separate issue.

Yes, I was puzzled that a backup taken just before the crash didn\'t run for a while after restore. My backups are reliable enough I think, Norton Ghost 12, and I\'ve gone to a backup 24 hours earlier at 98.5% which is now running with 49 hours to go.

Thanks for your help Mo, and to everyone else. I\'ve upgraded to this model to 5.10.20 and am hoping it won\'t trip again ;O)

Your computers are hidden, so we can not look at the model to see if it did indeed finish.

Oh Poo :O) How about \"Granted credit 39,657.60\"? Is that what is normally granted for a finished model?
