1) Message boards : Number crunching : Planned outage for BOS and ESEA (Message 26359) Posted 25 Jan 2007 by old_user2275 Post: I\'ve spent the last few days checking everything was working correctly, and it seems so. This is what happened Sunday: Around 10 am local time, the database drive stalled once again, and I shut down the system, knowing I was going to correct things later. Around 3 pm local time, I had moved everything to my work area, and wanted to start up to test everything would work fine when attempting to do the drive switch. But now the database drive box didn\'t start at all - no fan, no light, nothing. The other one seemed to start as usual. I thought it might be the power supply, so I switch to the other power supply - this time the box started, but I really didn\'t like the sound, so I turned it off quickly. The other box didn\'t like the power supply from the database drive box. So, now I had two drives that I didn\'t know if I could even get working. Anyway, with two drives to switch and only two drives to replace them, I could wave goodbye to my RAID plans. The only hope I had was that it was the external boxes that were failing, not the hard drives themselves. And it turned out to be just that. So after I had copied the database drive successfully, I made the sites available again while copying the other drives - before moving things back where they belong.

The next stats run should do this Well thats messed up the BOINC combined stats big time ;) No kidding :D Just noticed unrealistic jumps on many team mates, including myself - so I\'m working right now to filter BBC out of boinc combined, but then I noticed one who was only crunching for BBC... Boinc combined for him is zero at the moment. Don\'t know yet how many crunch for other projects but not cpdn main - they\'ll loose some credits until I know how to deal with this.

If you used the same email addresses in both places you\'re probably fine. What happens with those running BBC now but not the main project, and now or later decides to run the main project?

If they are, then it will probably be based on cpids, and won\'t occur for some time yet. Ok, thanks PS Bruno. Could you please post something in the shout box at BOINCstats to say that the cpdn beta site is NOT a new public project. It\'s just a test site for stress testing new types of models before they\'re released on the well known public cpdn site. There will be NO export xml files, and everyone running models there are expected to report ALL failures in the appropriate OS section, including all error messages, and hardware details. And they should keep reading the site messages, as new versions/models are constantly being made available as bugs are reported. Thanks I will do that

I have a question that would be of interest for stats sites: Will credits gained through BBC/CCE be moved to the main project? I don\'t hope so, as it would be a ton of work on databases, but if that is the plan, it would be nice with a heads up ;)
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Planned outage for BOS and ESEA (Message 26180) Posted 19 Jan 2007 by old_user2275 Post: For those who haven\'t read the BOS RSS feed, the BOS message boards or the ESEA message boards, here some info: The hard drive containing the databases has been giving trouble these last few days. It is close to give up. I have two hard drives which was planned to be used as a replacement for the boot/system drive, but this is more important right now. So this weekend I will spend some time replacing the database drive. I will try to build a RAID with these two new hard drives, but this may take some time, as it is the first RAID I\'ve ever made. Keeping all data/programs completely intact during the process is an extra task, and may make it take a bit longer, as I don\'t have a third clean hard drive to save things on. But I\'ll do my best to do this as fast as possible. If all things go wrong I have back-ups. So, just so you know, the BOS site and services and the ESEA site will be down for a while this weekend.

It is obvious that research is abundant, and our supercomputer can\'t keep up with the current amount of processors. So, the Agency is looking for more staff and the processors that come with this additional staff. Currently the supercomputer is operating in the mid 40 GFlop range, and we need at least 100 for the time being. There are an unlimited amount of positions vacant - just plug-in your processors.

The v. 4.19 wu I\'m working on has a deadline far far less than a year - which means BOINC practically only wants to run that one to meet the deadline... Other projects get no CPU time unless I force a temporary suspend of CPDN

So in other words it'll go back to being the sum of current members' credits. Well, it's better than what I'm experiencing at the moment which is no new credit for the team, but a decaying RAC (well, the RAC thing is to be expected as it was way too high for normal curcomstances ;)) Anyway, happy to know something is being done, and cudos for great and hard work Click below<br><a href="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boinc.asp"><img src="http://www.esea.dk/sig/eseasig.php?memberid=1"></a>

The non-boinc way was due to a fix of another problem (http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=2619), so I guess the non-boinc way (sum of members credits) will return if not currently used ;) Click below<br><a href="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boinc.asp"><img src="http://www.esea.dk/sig/eseasig.php?memberid=1"></a>

(Message 14095) Posted 4 Jul 2005 by old_user2275 Post: As far as I can tell, noone has left my team, resulting in natural decrease (due to the way cpdn works atm). Still, a big chunk of credits was cut from my team. So far all credit gained by an individual has been added to any team they join. So if I add up all credit from all members, it should be the credit the team has - which right now would be more than double of what the team has today (yesterday it would have been just a little less, when using todays numbers of the members ;)) Well, anyway, has anyone else experinced a strange decrease in team credits?

28) Message boards : Number crunching : Policy request (Message 12868) Posted 25 May 2005 by old_user2275 Post: When someone joins a team all credit this person has accumulated is added to the team. If the person in the process leaves another team, all his credit will be subtracted from the team. Of course this is "bad" for the team that the person is leaving, but it can also be "bad" for the team the person joins, in more than one way. Naturally any team would welcome more credit, but then again, it feels a bit like stealing - AND more importantly, it can throw whatever stats they run out of whack for a while. I run a team myself, and naturally I'd like more to join - but I don't want to steal credit from other teams - and whenever someone who has been crunching for a while joins my team, all their credit is added to my team, which throws my MFlop stats out of whack for a while - annoying actually. So, I have a request: To implement the same policy projects like seti@home has, which is credit earned while being member of team A stays with team A when the member changes to team B - and credit earned while not being a member of a team is not added to team A when the member joins team A.

Added the possibility to add a timestamp to the image. The timestamp displays the time and date of the last BOS update. I know the development of BOS has been a bit slow lately, but I'm working on other projects also and BOS seems to run pretty stable. Besides, I've been thinking about the scheme for mirroring which looks to become pretty ambitious :) Well, I just thought it might be nice to have this timestamp, although it looks pretty odd in this version (my opinion). Ok, I still call it alpha ;)

Then you can choose between 'climateprediction.net', 'CPDN', 'climate' etc. :) The uncorrect characters are due to settings on the web server - I'll need one of the upgrades saturday and a reboot to fix that - that's why I didn't try to fix it right now ;) As I'm tying to keep downtime as low as possible I 'bundle' tasks that need downtime ;)

I will wait adding chinese and russian untill I have conquered a charset problem. I will look into this saturday when the server is offline anyway Naturally the URL generator is changed accordingly.

My concern though is the polling for online status and keep congestion at the projects down. I might make it so web site poll my database in stead of the projects - that would keep the congestion at the projects to a minimum - and spread the traffic. But that's a bit further down as I still have some ideas for this I want to look into first and are still in a learning fase. As to the internationalization, I was thinking about first of all to add a page at the URL generator that offers users to contribute with translations for the three states. The string mentioned by microtoxic is the way I would implement it. The dataset-thing is a bit above my skill at the moment, but I'm working hard to learn ;)

In Danish there's the problem with the translation from Unreachable -> UtilgÃ¦ngelig - the letter "Ã¦" becomes some other char. But I would love for it to be "multilinguable" :) I'll think of something :)

I think many admins would invite option to choose > colors in hex format so they correspondent with other visual elements of > forum; not that the name list is short :-) Well, I chose this way first as it was the easier one to implement quickly ;) I'm still new to PHP, so there are things I need to learn. I was actually thinking of making it possible to choose rgb colors in dec first, but I want to see if there's a smart way to do that. When I got that, I'll see if I can make some dec2hex conversion as well (there are propably code out there I can grab ;)) But right now I'll see to it that the text colors can be changed as weel - that has higher priority for the moment - as well as a URL generator (another idea I grabbed from Petrus) ;)

57) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers online status for websites (Message 11297) Posted 23 Mar 2005 by old_user2275 Post: I thought there would be some website owners out there who wanted to be able to display online status of the boinc projects schedulers. So I created this little script that does exactly that. It looks like this: <img src="http://83.72.130.163/esea/boincschedulers.php"> Now, Boinc Online Schedulers (BOS) version 0.3 is pretty much still an alpha version, but it looks to work pretty good. All that's needed is to make an image tag on the page you want to display it at, like this: <img src="http://83.72.130.163/esea/boincschedulers.php"> It's updated every 5 minutes. Future plans for it includes: - choice of projects to display - choice of colors to use

As simply as that; no > horse-trading. I wasn't too clear here ;) What cpdn doesn't do, like the others, is to send out the same wu to several participants, wait for the participants to return the results, compare them, and then grant credit by evaluating claimed credit - that is granting the lowest value, the middel value or whatever scheme is chosen. Any comparison that may be done between wu's does not in any way affect the credit system - and I view it from the credit systems point of view in this thread ;)

Have you checked out how much credit your hosts claim at the other projects? It may be higher than what is granted. One of the main differences from cpdn to the other projects is that cpdn is currently the only one that doesn't send the same wu to more participants and compare their results. This means if your host claims an amount of credit for cpdn work, that amount is what is granted - which is not the case per definition at the other projects. As far as I can tell from Andrews link, it would seems that on cpdn there is not even such a thing as claimed credit. Well, in either case, cpdn is not very comparable with the others as it is very different in how it works.

There are always teams that look for new members :D My team is one of them - only it's in its infancy so it may not be so attractive for some people yet ;) But I'm working hard on it, missing sleep, learning php and mysql from scratch just to build the features I want for the members :) (Les Bayliss: lol how right you are)

First take a note of the credit amount listed on the projects tab for the seti project. You would then need to close the BOINC client while opening client_state.xml in a text editor (not Word or something like that, use notepad or similar). Make a back-up of the file just in case. Search for the occurance of the credit amount. If you find it next to a string that says user_total_credit>, you have found the seti project settings. A little above the total credit amount you will find a string that say master_url> If it is followed by http://climateprediction.net/ it should be changed to http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ The line just below is project_name> - if it is followed by climateprediction.net it should be changed to SETI@home A bit further down, below the user credits, you will find a string that says scheduler_url> If it is followed by http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc_cgi/cgi then it should be changed to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi This should help - if it doesn't, close the BOINC client emediatly and restored the backed up client_state.xml file.
