Now four trickles behind, sorry about the heading I just misread the info wrong and call them tickles instead of trickles.


It\'s nice to see I\'m not alone, I am about four trickles behind too.

And I thought calling them tickles was kind of cute.:)

Thanks for everything you have done, Paul. I got a lot of good out the Wiki and I\'ll miss seeing you around the forums.

I just looked in your account and found this:

Not sure if I got the right computer or not ... but this tells me that you did not even get the model unpacked ...


Paul,

Yes, that was my crashed sulphur cycle.

As to the heartbeat issue- when I look in the linux system monitor, boinc is listed as sleeping, while the science app is listed as running. If a process is sleeping does it still have a heartbeat? Or because it is sleeping, it doesn\'t send a heartbeat message, and thus the generation of all those heartbeat messages.

In Linux, the log files are usually in the Wu folder( ~/BOINC/projects/climateprediction.net/xxxx_yyyyyyyyyy ) and in the slot folder (~/BOINC/slots/X)


Well, this is the xml file from the 494c folder in projects:

And all the brackets were replaced with [].

and there is a stderr.txt file in slots that just says

\"no heartbeat from core client\" over and over again. Perhaps if I had collected the stderr.txt right after the model crash I could have had something useful.

Post:

Can you zip up the *.TXT and OLD files and send them to p.d.buck@comcast.net ...

Thanks!


I guess not, I am too dumb. Not sure what I am doing wrong getting Ark to zip things. I need to do some more reading.

I don\'t see any OLD files in Linux. I see them in the Windows BOINC folder. In Linux, there are txt files in the slots folders. I do have \"hidden files\" turned on. My poor little 494c folder in Projects only has an xml file in it. I put it in a word document and it is only three or four pages long.

Here are the messages. 2nqc is the slab that I had been running with 4.19, and 494c is the sulphur cycle. I have also noticed that there appear to be about three timesteps in a row missing from 2nqc, so I am not so sure 4.43 took up where 4.19 left off. I promise not to play with it anymore in the middle of a model without backing up.

Posted 1 Oct 2005 by old_user3335
Post:
I have a Sulphur on a P4 3.0GHz HT with Windows XP Home that has made it to Phase 2.

I had a Sulphur waiting on an AMD Athlon 64 2800+ running Linux 2.6.10, Boinc 4.19 (optimized by Ned Slider).

I was messing with the Linux machine and changed to Boinc 4.43. I have changed back and forth before with no ill effects. The slab wu was early in Phase 2. So when Boinc 4.43 woke up, it went to work on the wu with the earliest deadline, which was the sulphur. I kept the messages, in case they are of interest to anyone, but it quit with an error. Then it went back to crunching the slab, and it seems to be fine.

I stuck with optimized 4.19 because the benchmarks with 4.43 were so low. It turns out the timesteps with 4.43 are 2.2 sec compared to 2.4 sec. So at least for CPDN, optimized BOINC doesn\'t seem to help me.

No, I haven\'t been backing up. But I guess I need to start doing that. If I had, I could have suspended that sulphur cycle and tried running it under 4.19 when the time came.

I wanted to try 4.43 so I would have the ability to drain off the other projects wu\'s instead of trashing them by detaching, since 4.19 doesn\'t have as many features. I didn\'t think I would have got the sulphur done in time sharing with other projects.

Thanks for listening and Happy Crunching.

Post:
That is normal with sulphur and BOINC > 4.19. They wanted the intermediate results uploaded before the end of run. Continue on...


Can sulphur run with Boinc 4.19? Will it work and just not upload results until the end? I am using the Linux 4.19 client, and have a sulphur waiting while a slab finishes.

Post:
are there still sulphur models beeing sent out?
my main pc will finish its first model in the next 24 hours and id really like to do a sulphur model. it downloaded another normal model today though, any chance i will get a sulphur if i suspend (or abort) that? preferences should be good for sulphur and the pc is fast enough too.

thx for any help :)


I got a sulphur the other day on a machine I didn\'t especially want one on. I like to run more than one project on a machine. Too bad we can\'t trade. :) The linux client 4.19 downloads one near the end of phase one. I will try to pay attention on the other linux machine when it gets near the end of phase one and adjust the disk space to get a slab.

It isn\'t going to hurt the running sulphur model when I lower the disk space for another machine, is it? Will there be any weird errors?

10) Message boards : Number crunching : New app? (Message 15520)
Posted 29 Aug 2005 by old_user3335
Post:
I got one this weekend and with less than two hours crunching, it is showing 2109 hours to go. That means it will take about three months to do, and the deadline is January 26! This one will be ok, since it is on a HT machine, but I worry about the single thread machines that are sharing with other projects. A three week unit takes six weeks sharing with one project, nine with three, assuming equal resources. So the sulphur cycle would take six months or nine months. Good thing the deadlines are not written in stone.
