21) Message boards : Number crunching : Anyone else experience decrease in team credits? (Message 14095)
Posted 4 Jul 2005 by Profile 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?

23) Message boards : Number crunching : e-mail list error (Message 13151)

&gt; My guess is that they are all related to database timouts, but some of the
&gt; links to that may be indirect. eg timeout problem caused WU misallocation. WU
&gt; misallocation caused need to rebuild server software. Rebuild of server
&gt; software caused ....

seems to be a fair asumption

&gt; There are other reports of problems with the email file - eg <a> href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=2667"&gt;this
&gt; thread</a>.

hmm. I wonder if the multiple problems (email functions, xml stats outage, xml host stats probs, misallocated wu) are related somehow...

26) Message boards : Number crunching : Policy request (Message 12899)

Ok, now I understand a bit more ;) Thanks :)

Would be nice though if they could find some other fix for the extra-credit-problem - but I guess for now it's a matter of choosing between bad and worse :)

did no resetting - just aborted the one that wasn't listed on the host. I have two wu's on my host now, both listed on my host, so I keep them both

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.

Good call with this thread :) I had one extra CPDN WU on one of my hosts and had actually planned to run it (I admit, I never thought to check the results list).

The WU in question is 2m8o_300143371_0 - NOT in my results list - 0 (zero) work done on it, and now aborted.

Host in question is 52531.

Hope that helps

&gt; Or, just keep them all on the air ... I really like the objective of LHC@Home,
&gt; though I still can't figure out their screen saver.

AFAIK they are still tweaking the screensaver, although it's low on their priority list (science app being on top of that, naturally). But what is it you can't figure out?

&gt; &gt; How true :) Fortunately there are now so many projects that this domino
&gt; effect
&gt; &gt; stops before all go "down" *lol*
&gt;
&gt; Yeah, the trouble is that we keep skirting death with only one project left
&gt; ...

So, the message would be: Keep those new projects comming :D

&gt; Haven't you noticed? We seem to get these cascades of one project having

33) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers online status for websites (Message 11870)

Version 0.99:

Just a small update before the 1.0 release. 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 ;)

pH!Lm067: The missing c was fixed just seconds ago ;)

Honza: As the Ariel font wasn't as wide as the standard font, and I originally wanted to use te real names as far as possible I don't think I'll change it back now :) BUT a future version will feature an array of choices as to how the project names should be displayed. 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 ;)

Version 0.97
Made some multi language changes:

- Changed the font from build in font to true type Arial. This eliminates alot of character problems
- The image now has dynamic width. It changes if states in a variety of languages are longer then the standard width.
- Added four languages. 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.

Fixed the backend as SETI@home changed the reporting so it looked like the scheduler was Unreachable when it wasn't.

Added an RSS news feed. It's available here: http://www.esea.dk/esea/bos_devserv_news.asp

Version 0.93:

Added background transparency. As the image is .png this might not work in all -internet Explorer versions.

Fixed a bug that made the image display the uptime percentage of Pirates@home as the uptime percentage for BURP in some cases.

Added links page to URL generator site.

Added background image to URL generator so that you can see how transparency works.

<p>Version 0.85</p>
<p>Added the ability to have uptime percentages appended directly to the online
status, so now you can choose between nice coloumns, only a space between status
and percentage, and only percentage.</p>
<p>Added simulated images to the URL generator, so now you can see the colors
of all states, and don't have to wait until a projects goes down or gets unreachable.
There's even a simulated image for the odd occurance that none of the projects
are online ;)</p>
<p>Color names for standard colors have been added to the URL generator. One of
them is not found on O'Reilly's list though. The bosgolden color is one I created
for this image. The other standard text colors weren't on O'Reilly's list either,
so I changed them accordingly for best match.</p>
<p>Added the ability to change the tagline color. This way you can choose a color
for it that doesn't clash with the background color.</p>
<p>Change the URLs generated by the URL generator and added them to the image
script. The URLs will now get shorter. The old URLs you may already use will
still work.</p>
<p>Fixed a stupid bug that made the online status for climateprediction disappear
when not online, and especially if it's down. I didn't know the bug was there
until I saw the simulated images, so they've been a great help for me too ;)</p>
<p>I wanted to do alot more from the Coming up list, but I have to get up early
in the morning.</p>
<p>Well, go to the <a href="http://www.esea.dk/esea/bos.asp">URL
generator site</a> for the latest updates ;)</p>

Version 0.8

I've begun the multi language capabilities, but it's on an experimental stage still. The languages that have been gracefully contributed has been added, but some characters are not shown proberly as well as long string currently do not make the image wider (that'll come).

But, something that really works is uptime percentages. Yup, I've added the ability to display uptime percentage in addition to scheduler online status, and if you want, you can choose ONLY to display the uptime percentages.

In addition I've added some pages to the <a href="http://www.esea.dk/esea/bos.asp">URL generator site</a> - so take a look, and try it out ;)
