New NEXRAD RADAR being installed along Washington Coast
(Message 42135)
Posted 7 May 2011 by old_user588361 Post: We will finally be able to see (out to sea) whats headed toward the Oregon & Washington coast. UDUB Professor Cliff Mass has an ongoing page about the new construction here: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~cliff/Langleyradar.html Now we just need to get its "input" into the weather models :) For more info contact Professor Mass at: cliff@atmos.washington.edu |

Am I Misreading This?
(Message 41901)
Posted 1 Apr 2011 by old_user588361 Post: Thats exactly it, Les. My older machine has been on BOINC for ages (SETI says I've been doing work for them since May 2000, for instance). I just recently installed BOINC on a new machine. Since this (newer) machine never had BOINC on it before, when it installed, it used its "base" defaults, which as I've stated, are too low for the new 2 gig W/U's that you guys are putting out. I have since changed those defaults to "make room" for the new, bigger W/U's. Two solutions come to mind. 1. Inform the BOINC team that their defaults are too low and hope that the next time they update the package they use bigger disc buffer allocation sizes. 2. Add it to your list of things to tell new users (sticky forum post? FAQ? News Page?) that would otherwise give up instead of coming to the forums and asking :) Thanks again for the help! Larry |

Posted 31 Mar 2011 by old_user588361 Post: The BOINC defaults (unless you change them locally) show: Can be used to reduce CPU heat 100% of CPU time Disk and memory usage Disk: use at most 4 GB Disk: leave free at least Values smaller than 0.001 are ignored 2 GB Disk: use at most 50% of total Tasks checkpoint to disk at most every 30 seconds Swap space: use at most 50% of total Memory: when computer is in use, use at most 25% of total Memory: when computer is not in use, use at most 90% of total So having shown that, if BOINC by default has 4 gigs set aside, and is asked to leave 2 gigs aside (50% of total), and you have ANYTHING already downloaded for the project (existing work), then those 1.9 gig W/U's will never come down, based on the default settings shown above. I have of course now changed those defaults for this machine. Like I said in the earlier post - BY DEFAULT - your W/U's won't ever download unless someone has tweaked those settings to allow W/U's larger than the defaults set in BOINC on initial install. This machine only recently had BOINC installed on it, so thats what I'm basing these defaults on. Hope I made that more clear this time. |

Posted 29 Mar 2011 by old_user588361 Post: Thanks Les. I was curious why my drive which has about 160 gigs free, would be a problem with a project that normally has 275 meg "packages", and suddenly jumps to needed 2 gigs. A sevenfold increase in the space needed for the workunits currently crunching on my machine. Then I realized it wasn't even looking AT the 160 gigs free on the drive - it was looking at Prefs which by default are set lower than your workunits size. Answered my own question, but posted it here for when someone else comes in and says "but I have a terabyte free!"... |

Rebooted PC, suspended, restarted, etc. It wouldn't progress past 33.3333%. After I aborted it and did an "update" it reported it as a completed task, so hopefully someone there will be able to figure out why it crashed. Pulling up the Graphics on this WU showed a completely blue-covered planet, so maybe there was a flood (didn't see an Ark though). |
