1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Total disk space for a climateprediction model? (Message 4343) Posted 19 Sep 2004 by Kerwin Post: > I wish i had you confidence. I've only done 2.91% and its already bloated to > 82.22MB > I'm still on my first CPDN WU and it will finish soon. I'm on timestep # 195601 and CPDN takes up 627.42 MB according to the Disk Tab. It really doesn't take up much more than that for each phase anyway. Besides, with hard drive capacities today 600 MB and change is just a drop in the bucket. ;-) I'm sure we all have movie files that large if not larger. :-) <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=153&trans=off">
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Total disk space for a climateprediction model? (Message 3399) Posted 8 Sep 2004 by Kerwin Post: It will use more. From my experience using BOINC CPDN, by the end of each phase you'll have about 600 MB worth of CPDN related files. (I'm about one third of the way through Phase 2 and BOINC reports 356.48 MB of climateprediction.net files.) It resets at the beginning of each phase. If I remember correctly, once the run is completed successfully, the final upload is about 5 MB. Hope this helps. <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=153&trans=off">
3) Message boards : Number crunching : ???...What Happened To My Credits...??? (Message 3353) Posted 7 Sep 2004 by Kerwin Post: I'm sure this is related: I was just checking my account info an hour ago when I realized that all my trickles/credits disappeared. I did a few refreshes of the page and they slowly started coming back. I'm happy to say everything seems fine once more. <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=153&trans=off">
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Time slicing question (Message 2420) Posted 31 Aug 2004 by Kerwin Post: Well just to keep you posted, despite changing the Resource Share to 80 CPDN and 20 SETI in the preferences, it has been an hour since CPDN resumed and it has now been preempted by SETI <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=153&trans=off">

Due to all the problems with SETI, my RAC has dropped to 174.27 whereas my CPDN RAC is at 238.27 and dropping slowly. So perhaps in a few weeks when my RACs level out their effect on the resource share will factor out and then I can be on my way to crunching CPDN 19.2 hours a day! <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=153&trans=off">

8) Message boards : Number crunching : Time slicing question (Message 2404) Posted 31 Aug 2004 by Kerwin Post: Over at the SETI/BOINC site, I\'ve read up on the new time scheduling feature that\'s new to the 4.05 core client. I\'m currently participating in CPDN and I\'ve just recently reattached to SETI@home. I\'ve set the CPDN resource share to 400 and SETI to 100. So, my machine should be crunching 80% of the time. I\'ve been monitoring BOINC fora day and a half now and I find that my client still alternates between SETI and CPDN every hour. I\'ve even tried a 200/100 split (CPDN/SETI) and it still alternates every hour. Even though the report deadline for the few SETI WUs I have is two weeks away, I would imagine that BOINC would crunch CPDN for at least 2 hours before switching to SETI. Are there other factors affecting the time schedule that I might not be aware of, causing my client to altnernate every hour despite the resource share settings? Thanks in advance to those who respond!
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Client performance (Message 1965) Posted 28 Aug 2004 by Kerwin Post: I'm running an Athlon XP 3200+ with 1 gig of DDR400. I've had 7 trickles so far that are averaging 2.21 s/TS since I started 49 hours ago. I've never run cp before. Is this a decent speed?
