Hi Christine
There is an issue with the severs and some zip uploads at the moment.
More about this Here This will be sorted out,not a problem your end.

So no need for the backup yet everything normal just a short wait for server maintenance.

......i.e. the s/TS has kept dropping ever since the transfer - it\'s now 3.67 - but it\'s never going to show the real current s/TS.

Your computers are hidden so we can\'t look at the specs - how much memory does it have? (Vista is very memory hungry and you may be seeing memory starvation).

There shouldn\'t be.

Looking at the page for that model, you may be having HD problems, even though the HD doesn\'t get written to as often.
Was any other program running at the time which may have been competing for hardware resources?

Processing workunit hadcm3lbm_azon_25282074 crashes when trying to show graphics. It didn\'t happen at the begin, but only when processing reached year 1952. Graphics window shows only Earth image up to coastlines and after that hadcm3lb version: 5.15 crashes:

Fatal signal caught, cleanup CPDN run and restart...

Tried to restart from earlier backup, but the problem reappeared when year 1952 was reached.

SYstem info: Linux, Fedora Core 6, Pentium 4.

OK I have switched over to suse 10.2 with KDE, the client does not run.
What gives with BOINC 5.4.9? sometimes it \"does\" move the counter, but about 1 second every 2 minutes. On an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ with 1 gig of memory, this for sure should be running faster. Is this client just too buggy or. . . .

Help is appreciated.

For Linux users who have downloaded a new model in the last two days

The new Linux climate models, version 5.40, were within hours discovered to contain an error. A line of code inserted for testing purposes had not been removed. When a Linux 5.40 model contacts the server, it will receive a killer trickle to abort it. A new version 5.41 model will be downloaded to replace it.

Apologies from Oxford for the error. Fortunately not much crunching time will have been wasted on the flawed models.

More project news is available through my signature link.

This is discussed here on the BOINC/dev boards.

I think the trickle process isn\'t picking up the new 5.40 models yet, once Carl/Milo/Tolo get back to the office they can sort it out. It takes a while for external sites to pick up credit so you\'re probably talking about tuesday for credit here, and wednesday for external sites (see Richard\'s post for a more detailed explanation).

At least you\'ll get a *LOT* of credit once all your backdated credits are processed! :-)

However you do it, you can\'t run Seasonal Attribution, because that project has finished.

The problem is that 64 bit linux is not an officially supported o/s. Even though the 32 bit client apps will run just fine on it, and 64-bit Linux is becoming more popular, nobody at Berkeley seems interested in making it easy for us, yet.

I\'ve posted a couple of links below that can lead you to a solution, though it involves some work. I went back to a 32-bit version of Kubuntu for other reasons, so it doesn\'t really apply to me any more.

Option 1: download the 32-bit boinc software from boinc.berkeley.edu and edit your existing startup scripts to point to the 32-bit version of the executable. Here is a post outlining how I did it on a Debian-based distribution:
http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=1799


Option 2: Get the source code for the boinc_client, modify it so that it responds to the server with the reply it needs to download the 32-bit client applications. This has been done already, a link can be found at the bottom of this discussion:
http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=2549

Option 3: make an app_info file for each client application you want, and specify the 32-bit application request in there. The BSD folks do this, and some have done it for linux-64.

I have a C2D E6400 ready and waiting for somethings it would work well at. Until then ill have my 1.9-2.1secs/ts i get now :(

I have an:
AMD Duron 1.8 GHz
1 GB DDR-RAM
FSB is 133 MHz
s/Ts is 4,5 s
64 K L2-cache

What is the most important for the s/Ts?
Processor runs at 100% so it doesnet have to wait for the rest of the system.

Will more ram help? if the cache was bigger, would it count?
The new PC\'s have fsb with 1 GHz speed. Is that important or is it the processor?

How much beter is a P4 than a P3 and so on
Pls, someone who knows something about this, tell me.

Thank you :-)


Well, you quoted 4.5s/TS for your old machine.
I have a new Intel Conroe E6600 based set-up and it runs at 1.6s/TS in standard trim (3 times the speed of yours and I have dual-core obviously, so I am doing about 6 times the work that you are in the same time!!!), but if overclocked, like I am currently, it is running at 1.25s/TS.
FSB/memory speed and clock speed are all interlinked. In order to get a higher clock-speed, you need to \"up\" the FSB. By doing this, allows the RAM to support the CPU better, if and only if it has sufficient overhead.

These 1.10-1.30 speeds people report are overclocked machines, and the beauty about this chip is that they are rather easy to overclock.

Mine E6600 @3.2 GHz is doing 1.32-1.35 with two models and the Linux client (which is a couple of % slower than Windows)
With one model it\'s around 1.25.
With one model + a GIMPS M32 LL test it\'s around 1.45, hmm...

Hi Neil

What you\'re losing is the gui (or Manager), which is boincmgr.exe, not boinc.exe (which is the worker daemon), or the 2 climate programs.
Yet.

My e6600 gets 1.66 - 1.64 sec/TS on 1 core

Whenever I skype the software flames at me that \"my CPU usage is too high\" but that seems to be a default error message since I never had any problems... it\'s kind of a running gag between me and a friend who does BOINC too. ;-)
