Now you posted it in this thread. That isn't where people are looking for it when they need it. That's why I suggested to use a central place for it like the batch list.

I post where people ask about something.
Let's wait and see if there's any further problems, before fixing a posting place.

Les

That I5-5200U system is a Dell Inspiron laptop. Not real well endowed at 6Gb ram and it is not crunching for about 5 hours per day (heat of the day hot room issue).

It is also crunching for 12 other projects.

If the numbers still look like Training Wheel numbers I am open to suggestions.

Thanks

There are 3 options in "Computing preferences", which are set for the majority of projects in a way so as not to scare off new crunchers.

One is Suspend when non-BOINC CPU usage is above
This is set to stop BOINC when the person uses the coomputer.

Two is Use at most 100% of the CPUs

Three is Leave non-GPU tasks in memory while suspended

All of which apparently work nicely for other projects at the default settings, but not cpdn.

Here, One should be set for 100%.
(Just look at all of the Suspend request from BOINC in your tasks.)

Two should be set to something less than the total number of cores in the processors.
From experiments, I've found that my hyperthreaded Intels work best (fastest), when set to just use the real cores. (4 out of 8.)

Three should be set to Yes. This allows for the possibility of saving the current image when cpdn is swapped out for another project's task.

**********************

What ever the problem, crashing ever task it gets is not very useful.
It would be better used just for the other projects on it.

Can somebody help me by explaining why I don't get any work for Climate please? I have been with the project since 2007, but for many months now I get nothing. Some while ago, one unit did turn up, was processed and weeks later has still not shown up in my user stats. Either I have a problem or is this whole thing shutting down?

My computer is fine, a Mac, and I don't have this issue with most of the other projects I am linked to.

Simple.
There's no work for Macs, as the programs currently being used haven't been ported to the Macs. They tried, but had lots of problems.
Also, see this post in the Macintosh section of this board.

The two batches of hadam3cs tasks were available for Mac but unless you were trying to download them at the right time you could easily have missed out.

https://www.cpdn.org/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=11622111 This is one completed by a Mac. However, my crystal ball is not telling me anything about more of this task type in the pipeline at the moment. (Actually it isn't telling me anything about other batches in the pipeline either.)

A large batch of 13,500 Pacific North-West models has been released, Batch #754 (batch list) - so the queue is pretty large.

New batches of 200 11-month and 10 120-month work units have just come out for a new region: batch #755 and batch #756 for the Atlantic region at 50 km (new region, batch list).

[Edit: Corrected from one to two batches.]

There is now a batch of 28 month pnw25 tasks out there. Batch 757

Some of these are already on their third attempt with a combination of download errors and being aborted. I suspect this is the download server being out of action referred to elsewhere.

I've had some of these for 3 days waiting on the download server.

All gone now and having poked around a little it looks like they are failing to download. as in this work unit.

I got two that are currently running on RHEL 6.10, 64-bit.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.10 (Santiago)
Kernel: 2.6.32-754.6.3.el6.x86_64

These are the required libraries.
$ ldd hadcm3s_8.34_i686-pc-linux-gnu

They have not crashed and each has 4 hours, 47 minutes CPU time consumed.

From Sarah at the project:

ok so possibly the sync has copied files across now so downloads are ok. There has been some work going on on the infrastructure here by IT that is causing mounting issues which we think is what is causing this. We will try and resolve as soon as possible.
