Antonello Pasini is an Italian climate scientist. He hes met and spoken with Greta Thunberg and given her a copy of his book "From observations to simulations. A conceptual introduction to weather and climate modeling", World Scientific, Singapore.
He is running a blog on Climate science in "Le Scienze", the Italian edition of Scientific American, and is skilled in explaining complex problems. His background is in theoretical physics.

I have a AMD A10-6700 CPU on a Windows PC, which also hosts a Linux Virtual Machine with SuSE Thimblewood, a development version with frequent upgrades. The PC had Windows 10, but a crash due to a bad RAM (it had 24 GB, now reduced to 20) made me use a repair disk which was made in Windows 8. So it is now running Windows 8, upgraded to 8.1. The funny thing is that when running Windows 10 it could run only two tasks at the same time, plus a GPU task from SETI, Einstein or GPUGrid, and on Windows 8.1 it can run 4 tasks. The CPU was sold as 4 cores, but the Windows Task Manager says it has two cores and 4 logical processors.It runs at a maximum of 3.70 GHz but I have seen it reaching 4.14 GHz, a speed that the Ryzen 5 1400 on another Windows 10 PC cannot reach. It is now running 2 SAM tasks, while two crashed due to frequent stops and starts in attempts to bring it back to Windows 10.

I am running 4 wah2 SAM tasks on the same computer, and they send up a lot of trickles. I hope the results will go up too.

I try to be fair to all my projects,and divide tasks to computers which best suit them. So I loaded my second best Windows computer with 2 wah2 tasks. Wee, like Einstein said when he learned of the Hiroshima bomb.

I am running 4 other BOINC projects,SETI,Einstein.LHC,GPUGRID on 3 PCs and one cellphone, using Windows 10, Linux and Android. No problem in uploading results. Reading my inbox I found a mail from Andy saying that I had been blacklisted by Oxford in 2012. Maybe this is the rub.

Yes, I have restarted BOINC. Once the Oxford site refused me the access to a message board since they said my domain telecomitalia.it was not secure. But my trickles all went up.

I have completed two wah2 tasks but the results are not uploaded. Why?


Just looked as I am sure you have all 13 zips seem to have uploaded OK. Are they still showing as present on your computer or does that show them as gone from the manager? If a problem with more than just batch 801 I am sure it will not be long till others report and we will have a bit more information to go on.

They are still present as uploading.Trickles ended on April 2.

When running UNIX Version 5 on an Onyx Computer in the years 1980-85 we made incremental backups every week because Winchester disks were very fragile. We made backups on tape with the "dump" and "restore" commands from Berkeley UNIX. All this is just history.

My newest PC, a HP Omen, has a 128 GB SSD and a 1 TB hard disk.The SSD is not a 2.5" disk like a laptop but a flash memory bolted to the main board.

I wanted to take a MIT/Sloan course on Artificial intellgence but it costs 2600 dollars. A fairly equivalent course from Berkeley costs 357 dollars. All FutureLearn courses from Open University cost about 70 euros if you want to take the tests and receive a diploma, otherwise they are free.
