Update:
As i'm seaman i compute WU on board of ship (offline) and in nearest possibility i upload it completly (no tickles in this time). I did it for few contracts already and always it worked fine. This is first time i canceled upload. Still will try to upload everything but honestly - i don't know when. For sure this data will be uploaded some day.
greetings from VeraCruz (for now) :)

Hi everyone.
I´m sorry if this is written somewhere. I have really limited acces to internet now so i can´t check.
Yesterday i tried to upload completly computed WU ( 80 years model - 8 output files 15 MB each) but due to very slow upload i resigned after uploaded 50% of two first files. Today i checked my stats and suprisely this unit gave me 24000 credits. http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=6271906

Whats going on? Should i upload everything again at nearest opportunity? Isn´t it any way to cheat project? Will try to read this post tomorow...

The server will accept your results and give you credit even if you upload them from another computer.

Thank you for taking the trouble to process the models while at sea. I hope your ship takes you to lovely sunny ports.


Thank You for answers :) Now i can double my effort for this project :)
Pitty - but now its cold - Quebec. Later won\'t be any warmer (Norway). But at least i can go to town, download WU, and taste local beer (and that is most important!! :P )
Thx once again

Hi.
Please look at this: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/results.php?userid=105635
This are MINE WU. Some of them has zero claimed credits, but granted credits are OK (as far as i know i have computed them).
This is because I\'m seaman and only way to compute WU on board (and to utilizate some ship\'s computer) is to download more WU on my laptop. But because of this, each previously downloaded WU changes state to \"client detached\". In reality i compute all this WU (or at least partly) and after return home i send back results.
Then climate give me granted credits, but in looks like it looks.
Is my effort valuable for project, or should i give up? And if there can be situation that somebody will erase my credits as \"cheaty\"?
Sorry for english mistakes - i\'m in hurry must back on board in 30 minutes.

Tito, I expect you know that in your cpdn project preferences you can select the type of model you want to download. The HadCM are the longest but you may get one that\'s 80 years, or one that\'s 160 years (you can\'t choose between 80 and 160). The HadSM slab models are much shorter.


Already choosen:)

If you find that you haven\'t got enough models to keep the computers busy for so long, you could also attach to the Seasonal Attribution Project which is a cpdn sub-project and get an SAP model from there. But the SAP models need 1Gb RAM for each model.


Just joined :) For now i have enought work :D (If there won\'t be any crashes)

I assume that these computers are laptops? Laptops can heat up more than desktop computers, so put something underneath to raise the complete laptop approx 1cm above the table surface or the floor. The extra air underneath provides more cooling. Only raising the little feet at the back isn\'t sufficient when you run a laptop for long periods.

I hope your ship takes you to some interesting places.


Yes, they are laptops, but about cooling i know plenty thinks:) For now 2 my laptops are working 24/7/365 without any errors.

Ship\'s route is same as previous :/ No new places to visit :(

Many thanks for answers.

Hi tito

The problem with a model not contacting the server regularly, is that it MAY get re-issued to someone else, who MAY complete the model before you. So in this case, you would be duplicating work already done.
But the researchers sometimes issue the same model several times, in the hope that it WILL be run several times, but on different processor types, so that they can check for any computation differences.

Only the researchers would know how much value there is in different models, let alone in duplicated models.
So if this is OK with you, then go ahead and take some with you.

As for credits, yes you WILL get some, for each trickle eventually returned.

Hope you have a safe journey.



Thank You.

Good news, couse i will have 2 additional hosts onboard :)

Best regards.

Hi.
Soon i\'m going to join ship, where i will be about 5 months with NO INTERNET CONNECTION. I want to take some WU with long deadline (like CPDN), but won\'t there be any problems to validate them? According to this sticky thread, (http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=5131)after 6 weeks with no trickle WU will be marked as \"lost\". Is there a sense to take them? Will there be any science advantage? And if i will give me credits for these WU?
For now i have done it twice and there weren\'t any problems...
