It was 20000 timesteps in Phase 2. After an upgrade of Direct X, and a restart, Climateprediction also suddenly restarts on phase 1, and when it before was 2.19 s/step, now it's 960 s/steps... Can anyone explain why? Because this really sucks... Bent ID: 7161 · Reply Quote

Are you running BOINC version 4.13? BTW, I agree that it really sucks. ID: 7163 · Reply Quote

The long s/ts is prabably due to taking your current timestep and dividing by the total time so far. Presumably timesteps are still taking just over 2 seconds and not 960. I see your average is down to 750 so it looks like it. Visit BOINC WIKI for help And join BOINC Synergy for all the news in one place. ID: 7165 · Reply Quote

With a backup, you could probably have avoided most of the recrunching. You may want to consider keeping a backup copy of the folder so that if it happens again less work will be lost.
