21) Message boards : Number crunching : navigating graph_cm3, trickle, result pages (Message 22261)

2nd minor question:

Is there any way to click through to the trickle.php or result.php pages for a given graph_cm3.php?

(I usually edit the URL by hand, but typing is painful today & I have a vague memory of reading about this before but couldn\'t find the reference.)
22) Message boards : Number crunching : Do missing CM3 trickles get restored? (Message 22260)

Hello, somewhere long ago I read that missing trickles eventually were regenerated, or re-credited, or something like that. Never happened to me until my CM3 model. When it seemed time for its 2nd trickle, I looked at the graphics to check and they were a bit scrambled; could see the globe but it wasn\'t in the right position and I couldn\'t get it to show the model progress etc. (I have never had graphics issues with CPDN before.) Nor did I see trickle info in the logs. I decided to restart the BOINC client; when it came back up everything looked fine, the model date was still well into 1922, and it sent its hello trickle. Now it\'s sent the 3rd trickle, butl ooking at the graphs they are blank for the period of the missing trickle. And the 2nd trickle wasn\'t credited, though that\'s secondary.

So I\'m just curious how this works; will it \"catch up\" the data and/or credit eventually? Or is part of this model\'s data missing, never to be recovered?

My PC has plenty of space, memory and CPU and I was looking forward to a sulphur model, but I tried 3 times after my latest model finished and I can\'t get one either. The news item said they expected it to go until \"early next year\" -- so Les, if you run across the news you mentioned please leave us a pointer to it, it would be nice to know whether we\'re out of new sulphur work left or something\'s gone odd with my machine.

Meanwhile, back to the 3rd slab model (aborted the other 2).

As of tonight (US MST) things are not working when reviewing \"my account\".
For \"results\" all trickles seem to be lost.
My guess is that they are upgrading the server software. Hope this doesn\'t last too long!


You\'re right, see this Help Desk thread and the one next to it, and the Project News page.

Meanwhile I look at my recent trickles by going to the page for my current wu\'s result ID. Or, the account page you get to from clicking an author\'s name on a post, also shows the trickles.

My xp box (host id 84731) thinks it's working on unit 2kzl_300141732_0 ; last I checked it was on time step 69481 of 25928. This box had to be shut down for a few weeks and I had accidentally started another work unit which I immediately suspended before shutting things down. When I came back I aborted that work unit in favor of this one, since it was already into phase 2.
But about 24 hours later my account shows server contact but no trickles later than May, and the work unit name is not anywhere on my list of work units. I'm wondering if it aborted the wrong work unit given the trickles I do see, but in any case it's very confused. Should I abort this and start over or is there any BOINC or CPDN information to be gleaned from the state it's currently in?

Thanks for both the answer and the workaround! With a bit of persistence to avoid overwrites by either of the two projects I'm running, I was able to set the venue manually and that worked.

I've read conflicting reports on a couple of boards about this. Currently I have my default location set to home, and general preferences set for work which differ in areas like:
do not run when the machine is busy
do not leave projects in memory

However the work machine's BOINC is running with the default preferences. I went so far as to update the prefences on both projects I run (CPDN and SETI) and update both of them, restart BOINC, etc. and the work preferences are being ignored.

Is ignoring location-specific preferences still a known bug, to be fixed some day, or has it theoretically been fixed? Thanks for any info.
