So am I wasting my time? Also, http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=6085359 won\'t finish in time. It will be off by 2 or 3 week so will science still be gained from it?

This project ignores the due date. As for the first one, is the time still going forward? What does the graphic look like? ID: 32243 · Reply Quote

A few are \"fast processing\" and will soon self destruct. Most are \"slow processing\" and will destruct only after an interminable process. If it were mine, and the Time Step interval was abnormal, I\'d ax it and get another. Edit: Nice to see that you\'ve stayed with the Project \"through thick and thin\" all this time.

Could some one look at this WU resultid=6502874 hostid=592929, at this end every thing is OK, trickles are normal but the WU has still been marked \"No Reply\" is it due to the due date? and should i continue?

Regards Masud. It\'s fine. The work units are created with a deadline, but it\'s actually ignored on this project. The trickles will continue to be accepted and credits awarded.

With all the dedication, commitment and not to forget tender loving care these 160 year model need, i wish they could at least improve the nomenclature :( i know some thing to do with Boinc code. The admin of CPDN should have a brainstorming session with Doctor Anderson. Sorry for the late reply, still having problems navigating these forums. Regards Masud. ID: 33640 · Reply Quote

So the nomenclature and task classifications were all designed by BOINC for the other projects. The system doesn\'t work well for CPDN eg sometimes crashed tasks are classified with the word \'Success\', and there are other anomalies. I don\'t know whether this is the fault of BOINC or whether CPDN should ideally select different BOINC code options, or CPDN should rewrite part of the code. I agree that we should investigate this.

Models downloaded more recently have longer deadlines in order to avoid these misleading messages and classifications. http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=6032266 Cpdn news ID: 33644 · Reply Quote
