1) Message boards : Number crunching : Bad BOINC, bad model or bad server? (Message 34329) Posted 20 Jul 2008 by old_user633 Post: Sometime BOINC Mananger \'stops\' updating the messages tab, even though the messages are being created by BOINC. It\'s a bug. Live long and BOINC!

2) Message boards : Number crunching : Server State Over, but wu is in progress! (Message 19198) Posted 12 Jan 2006 by old_user633 Post: Thanks Les. This wu will be crunching 24/7 on 1 of 2 HT cpu\'s. It trickles about every 12.5hrs, so it sounds like it will be OK. Live long and crunch. Paul.

3) Message boards : Number crunching : Server State Over, but wu is in progress! (Message 19163) Posted 11 Jan 2006 by old_user633 Post: Another observation is that the cpu time on the results page (link below) is incorrect when compared to the trickle information page (see top result and the third result). http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/results.php?hostid=214525 The 3rd result is also not going to make it by its deadline in 13 days (due to my earlier intervention and then a failed power supply which took 2 weeks to get a replacement under warranty). I want to continue it to it\'s end, is it worth it? It is currently at 65% complete and by its deadline it will be at approx 85% complete. By the time it completes it will be about 10 days passed the deadline. Will it still be useful for the project (Honza appears to say yes)? Will a new result be generated and sent out since this one is not completed in time? Live long and crunch. Paul.

4) Message boards : Number crunching : Server State Over, but wu is in progress! (Message 19115) Posted 10 Jan 2006 by old_user633 Post: Doh! Thanks Honaza, I should\'ve known. So are there any implications for continued crunching of these wu\'s? I\'d hate to be crunching for another 1000hrs for nothing and I just don\'t mean the credits. I\'d rather be crunching for science needs and not just the credit (which pains me to say since I am a credit whore).

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Server State Over, but wu is in progress! (Message 19094) Posted 9 Jan 2006 by old_user633 Post: I have 2 wu\'s currently in progress but the result listing page (link below) shows that the results are Over. Since they are both in progress and not timed out and they are not completed is this a bug? What implicatons does it have (if any)? http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/results.php?userid=633 Over The result has been sent to a host and either it has timed out or the host has reported its completion. Live long and crunch.

6) Message boards : Number crunching : First Trickle (Message 16545) Posted 11 Oct 2005 by old_user633 Post: A trickle occurs at every 10802 time steps (from memory, it has been a while) at say 3.5 seconds per time step for your computer, so roughly at 10.5hrs! It all depends on how accurate the 3.5 seconds per time step is, you can see this by showing graphics and seeing what it is for your computer. Live long and crunch!

7) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 4.14 (Message 7330) Posted 17 Jan 2005 by old_user633 Post: I resource share CPDN 52.5%, Pred 30.8% and SAH 16.7% on my computer. Will V4.14 make things go horribly wrong with any of those projects if I install it? I hear that it screws cpdn. Does this mean that if I don't upgrade then I will not get Pred wu's? Live long and crunch!

9) Message boards : Number crunching : RAC not updating...take 2. (Message 6461) Posted 28 Nov 2004 by old_user633 Post: LOL...this is great. :) MWhahahaha...MWhahahaha...MWhahahaha... At this rate with my RAC (which is stuck at 429.93 and even though I return trickles multiple times a day) I will overtake Dogbytes (whose RAC has dropped over the past week or so from being stuck in the 1400's to 800 to 589.54, even though he has returned many trickles and added a dual G5). I always like to rub a bad dogs nose in it! SUFFER BUDDY. WOOHOO! [EDIT - just after posting this my RAC recalculated down to 180.....bugger let's see how it goes over the next week or so - so much for rubbing a dog's nose in it! Thanks Carl :) ]

15) Message boards : Number crunching : Odd stuff. (Message 6364) Posted 25 Nov 2004 by old_user633 Post: A bit more info....mobo is 800MHz FSB, memory is 1GB PC3200 Corsair. The computer is sitting there crunching BOINC 24hrs a day with out much else going on except for dial-up for about an hour a day. Task manager shows the 2 wu's within 5 seconds of cpu time of each other with them typically at 50% each. I understand that with HT on the wu's will be slower overall but should be faster with the 2 running at once...but the 2nd wu times appear to blow that concept out of the water.

16) Message boards : Number crunching : Odd stuff. (Message 6341) Posted 24 Nov 2004 by old_user633 Post: I have a 3.2GHz P4 with HT running XP SP2 and BOINC V4.13. Please check out this wu; http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/trickle.php?resultid=359584 Note that the time per time step is slowly increasing. Also with this wu; http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/trickle.php?resultid=364734 Note that the time per time step is also increasing. So why is the t/ts slowly increasing? Also note that these two wu's are being run on the same machine with one on each HT cpu. So why is the t/ts so different? Love to know why for all these questions.

18) Message boards : Number crunching : Installing new CPU (Message 5622) Posted 25 Oct 2004 by old_user633 Post: &gt; Hm, so you're saying a new Motherboard, new HDD and (in case of a new Linux &gt; Distribution and a fresh Installation) consequently a new Kernel Version &gt; wouldn't make CPDN discard its current work ? &gt; &gt; This Idea has been worrying me ever since. Why should it? In my case I went from a 2GHz cpu with my system on W2K to a 3.2GHz cpu with my system on XPSP2. As I had the same HDD all I had to do was re-install BOINC and it picked up from where it left off as BOINC does not delete the existing directory, it just updates the relevant files where client_state.xml is not one of them. As I said....happy days. Then my wife went and moved the case 6 inches while she was cleaning up and accidently hit the reset key, which caused major problems with BOINC. Lost all references to all projects, even the client_state_prev.xml file was stuffed. Bugger. Overall the machine hasn't been the same since. I haven't been able to stay online for more than 5 minutes (dial-up / remote host disconnects) which is causing multiple failures while trying to re-attach to cpdn (sorry guys, I think I've wiped about 6 wu's over the past few days - if only BOINC would remember where it was upto and continue downloading from where it left off!). <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&amp;project=sah&amp;userid=31411"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://31411.sah.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a>BOINC Beta
