Posted 20 Feb 2006 by  Honza
Post: Not sure... CPDN (and other BOINC projects) will utilize one powerfull CPU...when more cores are on the chip, it needs to run more models (Wus) concurently (with higher memory and HD usage). As there are milions of PS3 consoles to be sold during 2006, it would be nice to have some of them stretching on BOINC while they are idle next to TV. |

Post: Yes, it was ment that BBC credit are not going toward main CPDN (unlike SpinUp) but remains as a separate project. Stats site are taking BBC as a separate project as well, so unique stats files. |

(Message 20285)
Posted 15 Feb 2006 by Honza
Post: The BBC client is based on BOINC 5.3.19 so it\'s newer in this meaning. It deal with abort WU and some clean-up procedure after model is finished/aborted. No, I would stick with UCB BOINC if you run CPDN or other projects. Latest UCB BOINC should work fine with BBC. |

Disk space consumed & exceeded with Sulpher model
(Message 20109)
Posted 10 Feb 2006 by Honza
Post: Hi Charles, Doing climate research is HW demanding and Sulphur cycle models are even a bit more demanding on HD space. To be more exact, up to 2.7GB are used just before model is completed (about 1GB archive of completed model). 1GB HD...must be very old piece. Is it a typo? Only OS like Win XP takes more space. Perhaps you ment 1GB free. I would consider upgrading your HD anyway. It is usefull to complete at least first phase (partial results get uploaded) but completing whole model is what CPDN researchers are looking for. No, so far there is no other than Suplhur models available. Soon, there will be Coupled models which are less HD space demaning (but even more CPU intensive). |

Post: I don\'t see how you don\'t understand??English is not my native language. I\'m monitoring 5 CPDN forums right now: CPDN BOINC (this one), CPDN phpBB (www.climateprediction.net/board) + alfa/beta forums form SpinUp and to be released coupled model. First two mentioned are public and for general use. The classic one - phpBB message board (called classic among old-timers since it served very well during CPDN classic pre-BOINC era) is a treasure of CPDN where many aspects of the project are discussed over the years of CPDN. Structure of phpBB message board is a bit different than BOINC Message boards vs. Questions board. I believe I\'m not the only one that can get confused by different names of boards; when you are not pefrect at English...better ask for clarification - and thanks for that. Yes, SETI boards rearrangement looks like a good choice - for SETI, where \"number crunching\" dominates over Science since the project has started. I think CPDN is a bit different - science topis make a considerable amount of discussion. Rearrangement can be considered by CPDN team. What Jack Lass suggest apply anyway and participants should post topic in appropriate place. |

Post: Just looked at your host details and... Average upload rate 0.51 KB/sec It\'s really low rate even for classic 20st century dial-up modem; but your download rate of 777.42 KB/sec is fine. Bad measurement? Is your upload rate really so slow? Or you have some net-limiter on upload? In first and second case, I would stop BOINC and edit client_state.xml so that upload timeestimation is fine (you can duplicate number from bwdown) in case BOINC restricts slow uploads. <net_stats> <bwup>nnnn</bwup> <bwdown>nnnn</bwdown> </net_stats> |

Post: So are there any implications for continued crunching of these wu\'s? [...] I\'d rather be crunching for science needs and not just the credit (which pains me to say since I am a credit whore).I think it is still valuable to run those runs. http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?p=32429#32429 But running whole model is more (most) valuable and even makes more sense to those looking at results of all phases. |

Post: @ geophi - the message you have seen are definitely symptoms of upgrade installation process. I\'m not sure why it took so long: both to realize there is a new veriso of phpBB and long process of installation (takes couple of minutes with standard/unmodified version). Anyway, it is good to known that we are updated and running. |

Domino effect leads to unrecoverable errors

Posted 6 Jan 2006 by Honza
Post: Marc, error -161 is a known problem cause by a buggy WU batch http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?p=32429#32429 Checkpoints on CPDN are saved every 144 timestep (3 model days). I have never seen CPDN \"come to a screeching halt\" but seen Outlook doing this several times (sic). I\'m running boxes on 24/7 basis and their are not only CPDN exclusive - on servers as an e-mail/file server, another for accounting, my main box runs Photoshop, Quark and other 2D/3D graphics application, printing hundredes of pages, PDF files with 100+MB size - never got CPDN halting screen/keyboard whatever. Thrue is, that I don\'t run Outlook here (but the office one does), don\'t run AV from Symantec (but all boxes a NOD powered) so can\'t say much about Outlook/Symantec vs CPDN. I would exclude \\BOINC from AV scanning/shield. |

Post: Still, if this is indeed a resource starvation problem like I think it is (\"There are no child processes to wait for\"), the client should have waited for resources to be free, not errored out. Right?Problem well described. At what priority is Outlook running? Lucky me - I never used Outlook on my system but found a lot of problems with it over office computers: eating-up all CPU resources as a common one. How long should the BOINC core (client) waited for child processes (CPDN aplication)? If 30 minutes is not enough, should it wait even more in every case (e.g. Windows shutdown/restart)? I definitely would not waited half an hour until Windows restart. There must be a timeout limit...which was propably exeeded due to Outlook resource demands. The other problem on Windows and single-CPU/core machine is that when one process (application) with high-priority demands all available CPU resources, there are no available resources to manage the problem. Solution might be: (i) put both applications demanding resources on equal priority so they can share resources, (ii) having more CPU unit (dual-core, dual-CPU machine) so that each CPU unit handle each CPU resource demanding application (beware of processes CPU affinity), (iii) solution on OS level. I would first check out Outlook priority, do some maintining of Outlook (compact database, degraf disk as such application tends to fragments large files which results in slower running) etc. What AV solution are you using? There can be a connection with e-mail client. |
