Is anyone else having problems downloading new HADAM3P Models?

I have two downloading that my system has been trying to get over a day now. Some of the files slowly arrived, most have not. BOINC tries than backs off and gives the message, \"Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site\" All other projects I have running are getting work with no problem.

I received one today after 3 failed downloading on 10 March. The three that crashed when downloading left me with only being able to get one a day. Plenty when they run correct.

In the UK they would not want to reunite with the states, learning to drive on the right would cause problems. You would have to many head on collisons in the first weeks. But that would be good for you after when going to other countries in Europe.

You have to remember that King George is a part owner of an oil company. Like most things that King George said it only amounted to ----.

I really do not know what is wrong with people here in the states letting him serve a 2nd term. I did not vote for him. Les, now to teach those Brits to drive on the right side of the road and use the Euro as you do.

Oh we miss all those jokes about Tony Blair and George Bush.

LINK to Bush and Blair

I think that they wanted to reunite the US and UK.

I returned a little late for them,but had one completed. Ran fast, only three days to finish. Hope that they need more of them soon.

Back to running the slab models again.

This happens sometimes, the trickle server gets filled.
I even completed a model yesterday, that is not showing as any activity since the 25th.
Not to worry they will be listed and you will get credit. By the amount of credits you have you must have been through this before and got the credits.

When it is working correct we should all have a day with a lot of credits so just keep on cruching away.

I made the changes to delay the shutdown of Vista, think it will stop some and cause others. Seems as if it depends on whare CPDN is when the shutdown occurs. To bad that CPDN will not just shut down and later restart from the last checkpoint all the time.

Another thing that I hate is having to give Vista permission to start BOINC each time. Found a cure for that but no access to the computer for now (in use by another person), will try that later.

If there is no important personal data on a system I think that going back to XP may be easier.

Found that networking it to computers running XP can be a pain but can be done even though it dues not like it. Now to get it to use a network printer on an XP network server.

Having that in Korean would be a nightmair for most of us, at least you know some of the language.

I hope that those 80 hours were on CPDN whare you at least get credit for the trickles turned in.

I shut it down on my systems before a system shutdown, but she is still learning the few programs that she uses. I always get asked how do I do this and that, adding another thing in will just get her lost.

Thank you Mike, I will watch.

So far I don\'t like Vista, but have not had to much time to learn the differances to tell the truth. That is only due to all of my systems haveing XP on them. I like the idea that many security problems have been fixed on it. I may put XP on her notebook as no personal data will be keep there.

My wife has a new laptop with Windows Vista that I have BOINC running on.

This computer has lost 2 CPDN models when she shut down the computer. Because this is her computer she dues not shut down any thing that I have running in the background first. The oldest model was only run for 4 days so I did not have a weekley back up yet. The account for that computer looks bad as there are 4 phantom models (never sent) listed.

Are there and settings that I can change to stop it from lousing models when she shuts it down? I have never seen any. Due to this not being my computer (have permission to run BOINC) I an not always there to do things correct. Not her project so no taking care of it by her.

One good thing with that system is that Vista requires you to give BOINC permission to start when the computer is restarted. I did not like that at first, but it is good as when she takes the computer out someplace BOINC dues not run and/or ruin models. Than it can be started at home again for a few days. It is also set not to run when on battery power. When she gets it home and plugged in I restart BOINC.

I never had a problem with BOINC and CPDN when shutting down an XP system.
Here is a link to one of the crashed models. LINK

Wish that SAP still had work, completed 19 models there, they took being shut down good.

Thank you, and I see thay have a longer deadline of 19 Mo. also, but not inforced.

I don\'t run CPDN in the summer due to the heat it creates and no AC whare I have that system. Looks like I will be able to suspend in for a few Mo. next year with no problem.

Post:
After taking the late Spring and Summer off from CPDN I just got a new model yesterday.

I have a few questions about the new models.

1) How many timesteps to a model, and between checkpoints?

2) I don\'t have access to the computer it is running on, I keep track using BoincView, and only see the percent completed, now at 0.06%
At what Percent dues it report a trickle?
With the sulpher units that was every 0.84%

(for those who don\'t use BoincView it is run from a remote location and we don\'t have the show graphics button)

3) In another thread Carl said there would be some shorter models for new users and people who had them crash. I have had some crash in the past, but have completed several.
How do I tell if this is a 160, 80 or 40 year model?

Thank you
Ray

Your account shows that you are running Windows XP.
Is this what came with a new system? Or did you upgrade the OS to XP?

If you upgraded you are good for the other upgrades that you mention. If you have the OME Windows XP that came with a system, MS considers it a new computer if you change the MB and needs a new OS. They check this when your OS dues an automatic update.

By your account you are running a P4 2.8 without HT, if this is a socket 478 there are some bargans on faster P4\'s with HT for socket 478, which will not require a new MB or OS. If you have socket 775 there are even faster CPU to upgrad to, and if the board will support a duel core the Pentiun D 2.66 is fast for it\'s rated speed and really cheap.

I agree that a new MB, CPU and memory is the bast way to go but if funds are short for this cansider a newer CPU only.

The P4 2.8 is not a bad system, if you really want a new MB and CPU why not build a whole new system (you can get used cases, HD\'s. ECT.) and then have 2 systems for very little more than upgradeing the one you have.

If you go for all new MB, CPU & Memory the best would be the AMD 64 X2 or the Pentium D. Both are great, just depends on which you like better.

Post:

Well if catching up means that the number of trickle to be processed is increasing instead of decreasing, I guess then it\'s catching up, and enough said. I hope that someone has looked at what is going on with the DB server, and its application because, from my end of the cable does not look like it is a happy camper.


From my end of the cable it appers to record one every time send on in. But it is a few trickles late, when I turned in the one for phase 4 timestep 108,020 it recorded phase 4 timestep 64,812. Well at least I know that they are in there when it dues post one even if an older on.

You should not have to re run the whole trickle, it saves what it has done at every 288 TS\'s.

If CPDN is running when you turn the system off it is safer I found on one system to suspend CPDN first, than unsuspend when you restart.

Post:
Credits are what you get after you have successfully calculated some data for any of the many BOINC projects, and uploaded it.

But it\'s only good for bragging about. You can\'t buy anything with them.
A bit like Monopoly money.



Oh, you mean that I am not supposed to use them to pay my rent like I have been doing with them. Of course I just pay the rent crdits to my self so I stay the same.

So, sometime in February, the coupled ocean part of the project is expected to start. But I think that sulphur will continue for some time, to build up a large database of results.

And, just to depress people even more, the coupling between the ocean and atmosphere parts has proven very tricky to get stable, so if your computer isn\'t stable enough to run sulphur, you stand little chance of getting coupled to run.

So now is a good time to get computers fine tuned, and problems sorted out.



I have one very stable system but not as fast as what you said were running the spinup. It is a 2.93 Gig with 1 gig of memory. This will be finaihing up a model in just a few days. This computer had some wireless network problems when I first got it, but they are all worked out now, that has been the only problem. I did not have this system when they were looking for people to run the Spinup, and a bit slow for that, but should do good on the Coupled units.

How long should I wait for a new WU after that finishes if I want to get a Coupled model?

I have two other projects runing with it now, which I am prepaired to stop if needed.

Phase 1 ends at 20%, if you were getting to 10 to 12% you were just half way or a little more through phase 1.

If you don\'t want BOINC on your main HD there are a lot of old 6.4 gig drives around. One of those could be installed as a 2nd or 3rd HD to run BOINC on and have room for the Sulpher Model. If that goes you will not be out much if anything.

I got the model turned in today, will wait a couple weeks before starting another. But I did increase the amount of time given to the model I have running on the other system so I will still be turning in one trickle a day. Feels good finally having one completely finished, that is better than when I get the credit.

Cheers
