1) Message boards : Number crunching : Lost Work Units (Message 37898) Posted 24 Aug 2009 by old_user97788 Post: Thanks for thinking of that, Bruce. The process by which the project re-issues work units is rather opaque (to me, at least) - and the very long models, such as the ones you had, may never be re-issued at all. For those work units they really want to finish, I suppose from time to time they check to see which work units have completions or are likely to have completions and reissue the rest. I have certainly come across repeat batches of some of the shorter models. In any event, the project is a statistical exercise which doesn\'t expect or require every work unit to be complete. And some information is sent back to the server during the course of the model run, so the project can do quite a lot of what they need even if a model doesn\'t finish. Bad luck with the disk failure. Thanks for quick reply Iain, I noticed a few others that I\'ve lost over the years, due to Hard drive failures usually, with the tasks being so big they still havent timed out yet. I guess I shouldnt worry too much about them then, but if you would like a complete list, thats not a problem, just ask, ok. Bruce
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Lost Work Units (Message 37878) Posted 23 Aug 2009 by old_user97788 Post: I had a hard drive failure last spring and 2 wu\'s were lost. I thought if I reported it here we could get them back into the server for someone to run instead of waiting for them to time out. They are, task ID -7891348 + WU ID -6206148 task ID -7872606 + WU ID -6203052 Hope this helps. Bruce ;-p

4) Questions and Answers : Windows : HadCM3, time of completion: 1378hr??? (Message 35336) Posted 22 Oct 2008 by old_user97788 Post: Hi everybody, I\'m new here and I have started my first run in climateprediction. However, according to Boinc, there is 1387hr until completion!!! In comparison, my runs in worldcommunity grid only last 6 to 10hrs. Is it normal that my climateproject task lasts so long? Thank you for your help Boinc manager:6.2.19 (XP) Hi SpoutNick69 I\'ve been running this boinc program for a couple years now, and yes that is the right size for WU\'s here. Actually your WU is kinda small:-) , I\'m running one now that is aproximately 2800 hrs, it has to be completed by 02/09/2011. So dont worry, just keep on crunching!! Bruce
