I received an invite to join Weather@Home but cannot find it on the BOINC Manager add project list, nor a URL for it here. For now at least, I'm happy to do it, but can't.

My last CPDN job, "finished" completely, ie. it reported 100%, but still showed as running in BOINC manager. I left it like that in case it was organising it's result files or similar, but it was still like that the following day. It was not using any CPU time according to the task manager, so I stopped the process and BOINC Manager immediately flagged it as a computation error. It still had a trickle up pending, which has since gone. I don't know if my action in response to its inaction has lost anything however, sorry if it has, but I don't believe it should have put me in that position in the first place.

No hardware issues, no overclocking, no changes for over a year. It has failed on all machines that have tried it.

This wu arrived overnight sometime. It has run 16:14:29 at the moment and is still running. I found a run time error report this evening. I tried to cut and paste but it won't let me, so I'll type it, format will be a little different.

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

(X) Runtime Error!

Program: ...\climateprediction.net\hadcm3n_6.07_windows_intelx86.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

[OK]

As said, the job appears to be proceeding. It is currently showing 2.874% done, 16:23:31 elapsed and 551:58:18 remaining. However, when I pressed the OK button, it bombed out. I can see that nobody has got through it yet.

Yes, that is the one. It is still running now.

<edit>
Something else I just noticed, it was sending trickles up regularly, but they seemed to stop a few days ago.

My current model completed this morning some time, when I looked at about 08:00 it was 100%, remaining ---, but was still running. I've seen similar before as finished jobs write and compress their result files etc. but it is still running now some 10 hours later.

I have Avast AV software on here, and my wifes machine. It has been so for a long time, (years), and I've not seen these problems before. I can see that today is not the first CPDN wu that I've lost, just not noticed it before, there was another earlier this year, ie after the IP switch, none showing from before. It has been running CPDN since 2004.

The machines normally run 24/7 crunching BOINC, they don't shut down/hibernate. I have an Apache webserver on this machine, which also has been problematic since January.

I can't see how the IP switch could be causing the problem(s) I am seeing either, but the timing of all this is hard to ignore.

This morning, I was investigating the crash of a WU from RNA World. It was one of their XXL long runner units which doesn't checkpoint.

My CPDN wu also crashed during the night, coincidence?

The log of the CPDN shows nothing useful, but the RNA issue started at 01:38 with a "No heartbeat" message and various stops and starts for an hour.

I have also installed BOINC on my wifes laptop. This morning, there were a flock of "upload pending" issues which went away when I poked them.

I am wondering if something my ISP has done could be to blame. In January, we had to change from my homebrew setup, which has worked fine for years, to TDC's "Trio" pack, which includes a wired and wireless router.

What could be going on here?

I\'d have helped, (note past tense), but what I came to the board to do was report an ice world, hadsm3fub_jowe_006398408 this one. I have suspended it rather than aborting in case there is anything to be gained here, but I doubt it. I do not have any backups of the model. If there is anything to recover, let me know. (It crunched for 250+ hours before \"freezing\").

I was seeing these messages...

25/08/2009 07:37:00 climateprediction.net Message from server: No work available for the applications you have selected. Please check your settings on the web site.

... a few days ago, so I dutifully attached to two other model types, to be told, \"No work available...\" eventually, like a couple of days later, a short wu arrived, but that has crunched to completion and again, this machine has no CPDN, despite asking every hour or so.

Until mid May this year, when you downloaded a new wu, it's record went to the top of the list in "Your Account->Tasks". The wu I received 20th May was the last to do this. The one 23rd May is now top of the list with later ones continuing down the list.

I don't know if this was by design, but it is a bit of a nuisance.

I think it's fairly clear that all of us have noticed. The reported values have been a little suspect since 23rd actually.

Next, not sure, pressed z and cannot see what you want... what it says is...

Atmos model time 13:00
Atmos model date 16:07/2059
Hours elapsed 0418:33:33 (2.26 s/TS) <-- maybe that!
Timestep 149066 of 259248 - Phase 3 of 3

Not blue
Intel Quad under Windows XP
Not over clocked.

Hope that helps, was running on a system not visited everyday so may have been like that for 4-5 days at least.

Best wishes,
Adrian.

Cosmology@Home has also been offline for more than a week now, there was a note that they are working on it.

Credit coming through here now.

That timeline is the same as ours at Boinc@Denmark, ie. that this is the third such event recently.

Another effect I can see is the wu that finished 25/03 has not had it\'s final credit corrected, it still says 6,521.71 rather than the expected 6,805.26.

Shrugs, it has always sorted itself out.

Credit didn\'t run last night. Same thing happened last week. Is this a new periodic operating procedure?
