21) Questions and Answers : Windows : Error Message: No start tag in scheduler reply (Message 33235) Posted 6 Apr 2008 by RichardRodd Post: Thanks for those two comments / suggestions. So for Thyme here is the set of messages that came back at me after I\'d managed to create the xml doc - not the sharpest pencil in the technical pencil-case, me...! [http_debug] [ID#0] info: About to connect() to climateprediction.net port 80 (#0) [http_debug] [ID#0] info: Trying 137.108.64.198...

Mike - this m/c sits on a home network behind a router connected to BT Broadband. You\'ll probably ask me next about router settings... so I\'ll have to find the family friend who has the password...!! Sorry, I don\'t know if the router counts as a proxy server (see first comment above!) When you say BAM, you mean the BOINC Manager? In which case, yes. Don\'t know if that helps to be going on with... But it clearly communicated okay when I set the thing up - downloaded from BOINC, set up as a service, and off it went quite smoothly - or so it seemed. Looking forward to your next comments. Richard
22) Questions and Answers : Windows : Error Message: No start tag in scheduler reply (Message 33222) Posted 6 Apr 2008 by RichardRodd Post: Greetings to all msg board watchers! I can\'t find this error msg in the msg boards anywhere... would someone care to enlighten me please...? Is there a problem at my end, or at the server end? Do I have to do anything to fix it or just keep the faith? I ask because this is the first time this m/c (my fourth) has tried to trickle-up: this is a different type of install for me - running on a multi-user m/c as a service (and getting that to work was a bundle of fun...!! So there might be a buried problem in the setup, although it does seem to be running okay, i.e. using CPU time anyway). Okay, thanks for your help - whoever will...!! Richard

24) Questions and Answers : Windows : Pre-emptive downloads... (Message 32843) Posted 4 Mar 2008 by RichardRodd Post: I guess I know the answer to this but I thought I\'d ask anyhow... Is there any way of downloading a new work unit sooner than it would normally be provided (at approx 97-98% complete for running task)? I have two machines - one with me - the other one stays at home and works away - connected for trickles, except of course when the line drops... If that happens while I\'m away the m/c stops. But if I could download the next units(units - it\'s a dual core) of work NOW, which I know will start in a couple of days time, then if the line drops when I\'m away, the m/c just carries on... Or is that all just too keen?! Richard

26) Questions and Answers : Windows : Trickles leaking away? (Message 32757) Posted 27 Feb 2008 by RichardRodd Post: I\'ve noticed that neither of my machines seem to have had any trickles credited for the last couple of days, despite the fact that they\'re both chuntering away steadily. THIS m/c definitely trickled yesterday and today, and I\'m sure the other one (tucked away at home) is doing likewise. Have I missed something? (I did check that s/TS is running as expected, so I\'m not heading into blue models.) Many thanks - Richard
27) Message boards : Number crunching : Iceworlds & Slowdowns hadsm3/mh - Closed - Discussion (Message 31771) Posted 18 Dec 2007 by RichardRodd Post: Yes you\'re quite right - and I tried to transfer the data sooo carefully...! So the \'big\' one (which incidentally always said it was going to take 1900 hours) was the one on 137717 with a s/TS of 22.71... And the \'little\' one (400 hours) was on 235777 with a s/TS of 1.88. But both definitely have the same total number of TS = 259248... which I guess is what you\'d expect if they\'re actually the same size pkg, despite differing estimated runtimes. I might just hold fire a short while and see if anyone else has a different insight / recommendation...! Failing that, I\'ll kill 8091_1. And many thanks for your help.

BLUE PLANET 1 Model/ResultID webpage is at http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=6913635 Current timestep from globe graphic = 235777 of 259248. The s/TS value is 1.88. Whether the temperature display of the globe graphic is blue. YES. CPU is Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83Ghz. Whether you are overclocking. No BLUE PLANET 2 Model/ResultID webpage is at http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=6983460 Current timestep from globe graphic = 137717 of 259248. The s/TS value is 22.71. Whether the temperature display of the globe graphic is blue. YES. ===== Interesting to note the same number of timesteps but Planet 1 is a \'big\' model suggesting approx 1900 total hours to run, while the other \'small\' one comes in at 400 hours. Looking forward to hearing from you...!
