Posted 10 Apr 2011 by staffann Post: Yes, there is the message about not being able to access the internet. It still appears after every attempt to upload a climateprediction file, but at the same time all other project communicate just fine. If I use ssh to log onto the server, I see that I can access the internet from it (and even ping kraken as previously mentioned). There are now 31 files waiting to upload, all from climateprediction. |

Posted 10 Apr 2011 by staffann Post: Thank you for the replies. I ran grep on the client_state.xml file. I couldn't find any misspelt file_upload_handler. All of the references (and there were many) were to kraken so I pinged kraken from the server, and it worked perfectly. I made the client_state file available here: http://staffannilsson.eu/Unrelated/client_state.xml I'm at loss how to proceed. |

When to abort 160 year coupled model
(Message 32538)
Posted 8 Feb 2008 by staffann Post: Models of the generation you\'re running trickle every model year, make a larger upload every 10 model years and a full restart dump every 40 model years. The idea was indeed to abort the one at 2001. The problem is not the speed of the computer as much as the fact that I cannot leave it on. Its low uptime means that it takes forever for it to finish a model. These models have crunched since 2006 (!) and I want to be able to do some other projects as well. Since a full restart dump is uploaded every 40 years, the model I intend to abort has only run 1 year after that. It seems to me that I might as well abort it where it is. I\'ll finish my other model and let the other core crunch some more WCG and Rosetta workunits. I\'ll also make sure my CPDN preferences are to download only shorted models (maybe even slab only). Thank you! |

Posted 8 Feb 2008 by staffann Post: My computer has crunched two 160 year models for quite some time, but since it is only on every once in a while I\'d like to abort one of them. My question is when it is a good time to abort it. Does it matter? Should I wait until a certain model time? The model is just past 50%. I think I\'ve read the answer some time very long ago, but I cannot find the info now so please help. /Staffan |

Posted 18 Nov 2006 by staffann Post: Thanks for the answer.
Boinc is worried that CPDN may not be finished in time. As a way of solving it, it makes sure that CPDN never runs. No, that isn\'t exactly the way I would want it to work! Is there any number in the client_state of other file that I can change in order to make the computer believe (realize) that it isn\'t overcommited as a result of CPDN? |

Windows :
\"Overcommitted\" computer never runs CPDN
(Message 25164)
Posted 18 Nov 2006 by staffann Post: Some time ago I updated my BOINC client to 5.4.9. Now it always says that the computer is overcommitted and won\'t run my CPDN model. I have a dual core (AMD Athlon 64 3800+ X2) processor, and I want to run CPDN on one core and WCG on the other. In the past I have managed to do that by having CPDN allocate somewhat above 50% of the resource share, letting CPDN download a model, and then stop CPDN from downloading more job. Since the BOINC client upgrade, there is always a message that the computer is overcommitted and is using earliest deadline first. That means that it will always choose to run WCG (or malariacontrol) on both cores (it downloads two WCG/malariacontrol at the same time). I thought at first that it was because it needed to learn how much time it takes to process a WCG workunit, but since it\'s been doing lots and lots of them by now, that seems unlikely. Could it instead by the CPDN that is causing the overcommitted message (even though the deadline is way over in 2008)?

Sulphur model phase 3 unchanged since phase 2
(Message 19499)
Posted 21 Jan 2006 by staffann Post: Faulty batch. See this post (and some others in that thread) for more explanation. DaveF said they may be useful anyway for computer comparisons, but you certainly can abort it and get a new one if you so desire. Thank you. The thread refered to is a bit unclear on the on the topic of whether to abort the run or not... Well the runs are still useful (even if there is a measure of redundancy in them), so we don\'t want to insist people kill those runs, but if you want to make best use of your computer\'s processing time, you could kill the run and get a new experiment from Tolu\'s list (which he\'s generating right now). Maybe give it a couple of hours till the jobs are in place. This quote from DaveF indicates that it would be more efficient to kill the model, but is this still true after 3 phases have already been processed? Then there is also the issue of when the coupled model will be given a go on the main CPDM site. If that is soon, I may just as well wait for that rather than starting a new sulphur, and then finish this one in the mean time. Does anyone have info on that one? |

Posted 21 Jan 2006 by staffann Post: I have a sulphur model where the results from phases 2 and 3 seem identical. See http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=1208709 From what I understand the first 3 phases in sulphur should have about the same reaction as a normal slab, with increased CO2 in phase 3 usually leading to increased temperature. Is that correct? Is this then a faulty work unit? Should I abort the model? |

Processor specific optimization?
(Message 16979)
Posted 4 Nov 2005 by staffann Post: The SSE and SSE2 optimizations are being used on the Intel processors, but the version of the Intel Fortran compiler used to compile hadsm3 disables SSE type optimizations if it sees other than an Intel CPU running the compiled program. The project now has a later version of the Intel Fortran compiler which does not hobble the AMD chips so much. Later versions of hadsm will no doubt have optimizations for AMD chips, but when this will happen is unknown. I hope optimisation for AMD processors happen soon! For seti@home my Athlon X2 3800+ got half the processing time for a WU when I downloaded optimised code. Crippling AMD chips this way is really not the way to get forwards! |
