42) Questions and Answers : Windows : Lost Unit (Message 2266)

This problem is not new. Sounds like BOINC might not have closed the model down cleanly. This bug were not fixed in BOINC v4.05. They are a 2 file rotation for the client_state.xml file in v4.xx which should solve alot of the lost workunit issues at restarts and crashes but it's not perfect. I already complain about this in the beta test.

If your want to avoid this, you may run BOINC as a service (I never get this problem) or you if you run GUI, you must Suspend computation before quitting application.

I think it's just for fun &amp; it's maybe also just a basic comparison for people who ran (or are still running) classic climate<i><font>prediction</font></i> project.

45) Message boards : Number crunching : Statistics (Message 1958)

&gt; I am in Ottawa the capital with lots of good snow and ice around here in the
&gt; winter. The longest skating rink in the world, as they open up and groom a
&gt; canal that runs for Km's. Nice place to live but in the middle of winter when
&gt; I look out on the balcony and the thermometer says -32 C and in Aust it is
&gt; summer, I miss the heat and a sun that has some heat in it.

Adjustment : Average temperature in January is around -10 to -15 C (-32 C not very often) in Ottawa.

Dingo, I'm waiting for a visa to work in Australia. Me, I will miss Christmas without snow !!!

&gt; You mentioned that as soon as I get a trickle I will begin to show up on the
&gt; stats. How long does it take to get a trickle I have five PC's crunching at
&gt; the moment all started with a few minutes of each other and the time left
&gt; ranges from 588 to 1118 minutes depending on the size of the processor?

Take a look at this <a href="//climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/trickle.php?resultid=12677">WU</a>. Around 3.6-3.8 s/TS or 11-12 hours/trickle with a Intel P4 Mobile 1.6 GHz.

Nice picture, Dogbytes. 100,000 WUs is not enough considering SETI servers was down (most of the time) since last month and they plan to upgrade to BOINC v4 soon.

Great!

51) Questions and Answers : Windows : huge WU (Message 1630)
Posted 25 Aug 2004 by belgix
Post:
Welcome on board, Navigator! Yes, all CPDN WU takes 3-6 weeks to complete depending on your computer. For your Athlon 3200+, you may expect 3-4 weeks if your run your computer 24/7.

Hopefully, your will receive credits at the completion of every 10802 time steps (= 1 trickle) (or appr. at every 8-10 hours of processing).

I installed BOINC v4.05 over v4.02. Works fine without resetting the project (and I'm still running hadsm3_4.02).

As other P4 owner, no improvement for EDINBURGH. Result of experiment is <a href="//climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/trickle.php?resultid=12677">here</a>. The first eleventh trickles were processed w/o P3 optimizations (3.6750-3.8056 s/TS). Trickle sent 23 Aug 2004 03:21:32 were processed with the tweaked .exe file (3.8128 s/TS).

I will restore original .exe file to continue processing of this WU.

Running fine on an Intel P4 Mobile 1.6GHz - Longhorn 4074 - EDINBURGH. Because I'm running BOINC as a service, I will get my first result at the next trickle (yep, my computer 'had trickled' 2 minutes ago).

&gt;If anyone is near a "phase change" (i.e. near 33.33%, 66.66%, or completion) &gt;and is trying out this optimized UM please let me know, as I would like to &gt;get the *.gmts.* and *.rmts.* files in your dataout dir to see if the calcs &gt;are sensible.

Must wait few days ... 15.211%

57) Questions and Answers : Windows : W2K lock-up from \"Show Graphics\"! (Message 1308)
Posted 20 Aug 2004 by belgix
Post:
&gt; Got ya... the graphics used are OpenGL. OpenGL doesn't like dual monitors, so
&gt; before you even try to show your graphics, disable the dual monitor option.

I reported a similar bug 11 ago. Me too, I lost one WU. I have a S3 Super Savage graphic card on my laptop. More details in this <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=111">thread</a>.

Predictor plan to move the server to the new version at the beginning of September once the CASP deadlines will be over.

59) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Checking if an instance of BOINC is already running (Message 1261)
Posted 19 Aug 2004 by belgix
Post:
It would be nice in the next version to check for a running instance of BOINC_GUI or BOINC_CLI before trying to start another instance of the software.

The reason of the request is to avoid problem discussed this <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=155">thread</a>.


60) Questions and Answers : Windows : Cool new option? (Message 1206)
Posted 18 Aug 2004 by belgix
Post:
You're right Dan &amp; this feature will be useful for users who run multiple projects. BOINC will be able to switch to another project (S@H or P@H at this time) after the completion of a trickle and return back to CPDN WU thereafter.
