"Soon if all goes well." Is what I have seen but whose definition of soon? At least another day before the next OIFS tasks is likely.


Ready when you are....

If you send me a bunch of OpenIFS 43r3 Perturbed Surface and a bunch of OpenIFS 43r3 Baroclinic Lifecycle I will run three of each at a time. I have had no failures yet. I do not suppose they have to be 1.05 or 1.07, but those are the versions I have most recently run.

OpenIFS Perturbed Surface batches

The next set of batches for the OpenIFS Perturbed Surface application are going out today/tomorrow. CPDN have asked me to write a short item on them as the scientist running the project is away. He will write something more complete for the CPDN website in due course.

The aim of this project is to understand how predictable the weather events over Europe were in 2021. The forecasts for 2021 have already gone out. The next batches will cover the 39 yrs from 2020 backwards. These are called 'hindcasts' and are used to establish a baseline in order to compare with the forecasts of 2021 to establish whether differences in the forecasts are significant or not, in a statistical sense.

For each of the 39 years, there will be 1000 forecasts. Each forecast modifies the way the Earth's surface is treated in the model by small amounts. This means each forecast creates a slightly different outcome. By using 39 years, this allows for variability in the climate (interannual variability). In total, there will be 39,000 tasks.

These 'perturbed surface' forecasts will be compared with a set of control forecasts without perturbations. These are being run offline outside of CPDN.

From a technical point of view, each batch will be the same as has been sent out before for the year 2021; same model runtime, same output sizes. There were a few of these forecasts that failed due to the model being perturbed in a way that was no longer physical realizable. Although a 'fail' this is still useful information for the scientist.

I hope I've not misrepresented anything - I'm sure the scientist will write something better in due course!

@moderators - should I post this on any other forum threads? Or wait until the scientist involved writes something? (which I'd prefer).

Message 68653 - Posted: 15 Apr 2023, 22:14:23 UTC - in response to Message 66977.  

I need your help!
I updated Lubuntu to version 22.04 the day before yesterday.
As I have already read in the forums, that boinc won’t work anymore, however I hoped it would.
I know that Gianfranco´s ppa is the solution (Boinc version: 7.20.5, my old version is 7.14.2), that it runs again. However I would like to install boincmgr, boinccmd, boinc in my old folder under// home/…/boinc and not in the standard folder – where ever it is.
So my question: How do I down-load the ppa without installing it in the default folder or where can I find the program files of new versions after installing as ppa? So I am able to transfer those to the desired location.
Thanks a lot!

Solved: Found the programms, transfered these and it works somehow.

Just to say, all four of the East Asia tasks I was running from testing completed successfully. The researcher will be generating some Windows tasks from those spinups. "Soon" Was the word she used but I don't know what that means in her context.

Funny that their upload and download speeds are so different since they both go through the same router to my fiber-optic Internet connection.

I do go overboard. I'm obsessed with collecting stuff and repairing old hardware. Way too much electricity is used here.

Are you looking at the ones on the CPDN page? Is that for CPDN downloads? Those will be affected by the server speed at the time. Even if it's cross project, it depends as much on the project as yourself. Mine are also random, even two identical xeons connected to the same router on adjacent ports. The slowest machine I have (Picard) reports 3MB/sec, twice one of the xeons. Also, I run a squid cache on my main computer, so Boinc has seen 800Mbit downloads even though my internet is only capable of 32Mbit. I put that in there because I run LHC, and their virtualbox programs are stupid, they don't keep a local store outside themselves, so I can have over 100 VB instances running across 8 machines, all downloading the same dataset. To save load on the LHC servers, I store everything (for all Boinc) on my main machine.

Just seen a request for the next spin up runs for East Asia to be prepared. Not sure if they are for main site or testing. Have set up my Windows client for both main site and testing in case they arrive while i am out.

Thanks Dave. My 8 Windows machines always have CPDN checking for new work (they do other stuff but since CPDN has rare work, they're always trying to get that first), although they probably only check about twice a day since Boinc backs off when there's no work available. Between 8 computers I might get something. I'm not a tester though. One of them has a Linux virtual machine to get those type of tasks too, not had much luck with that either though. This is like going fishing! Usually ends up as several hours of idle chatter with friends and no fish. I think I asked before and you don't need more testers :-(

They will be shorter runs, Maximum 2 years (model years) to run on the main site.

It may well be that the East Asia tasks are waiting for the last issues from the server move to be sorted out.

On another project (Rosetta) it was like that for a long while. Gave it up, Using the Boincmgr, I did a reset project, and then tried to restart the project. It tried to download 4 files, one fantastically big
.database_357d5d93529_n_methyl/minirosetta_database
but they were all zero length. After trying for several days, I replaced them with correct files I got from one of my backups. I tried again, but it still would not download the rest of the stuff. I waited many days? weeks? ???, and finally, with no help from me, they fixed their encryption certificate or whatever it was and everything started working again.

So my guess is that it may start working by itself if you do nothing, possess yourself of patience (Advice I could not manage for myself), and wait until their sys-admin gets it straightened out.

Trouble is, I am currently having no trouble getting tasks from CPDN these days; Currently, i have three of them. They are all re-runs like this one:

Maybe you already have the files I don't, and the server is currently unable to hand them out. Do you have these?

hadam4_8.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu
hadam4_data_8.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip
hadam4_se_8.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip
hadam4_um_8.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip

If so, can you put them on dropbox/etc and I'll see if I get tasks?

Maybe you already have the files I don't, and the server is currently unable to hand them out. Do you have these?

hadam4_8.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu
hadam4_data_8.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip
hadam4_se_8.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip
hadam4_um_8.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip

If so, can you put them on dropbox/etc and I'll see if I get tasks?


I do not know anything about dropbox.

I have these hadam4 ones..

The first number is the size in bytes. The date is probably when it was put onto my machine.
