Posted 10 Jul 2019 by mmonnin Post: Thanks for the history on the cam25's. I found the one in question, and it has returned 18 zips. This worked for me too. Trickle _15 was stuck at 51%. After reading this I checked and 18 trickles were uploaded according to the task stats. Aborted and it updated to successful. |

Posted 4 Jul 2019 by mmonnin Post: CPDN has a track record of computation errors when suspending tasks so I sure ignored that part. I don't blame any one else for it either. How soon you forget. You started this thread. https://www.cpdn.org/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=8701#59554 CPDN tasks are some of the most fragile tasks of all the BOINC projects. Most have no issues suspending or at least going back to the last checkpoint. Even if they did go back the last checkpoint, no one wants to lose several days of work. There's a higher chance of losing work from suspending than from a task trickle upload being lost. |

I left the 2 that had not started yet suspended but the ones that had started I let them complete even if the uploads will take awhile. |

Posted 24 Jun 2019 by mmonnin Post: All of my Linux zips on three machines have gone, so that is progress. But I have over 50 WAH2 zips on my windows machine still stuck. It seems to be discrimination against North America. Same here. SAM50 and SAFR50 are pending. Those files are several times as big. ~17MB compared to 76/92MB each. |

Free-DC reports negative credits today for CPDN
(Message 60434)
Posted 24 Jun 2019 by mmonnin Post: A week or two someone also reported that Free-DC cannot get new stats from CPDN and the issue is on CPDN site. So issues ;) The difference here is that credit reversed on Free-DC while other weeks there was just no update at Free-DC. This time the CPDN site was down. I'm not sure how often Free-DC queries CPDN. It might be a week until it goes back to the data from a couple of weeks ago. Free-DC also has 2 sets of data to update and display the site. At times they can get out of sync. |

Posted 24 Jun 2019 by mmonnin Post: It just loaded an old copy of data since the site was down when it tried to pull stats. It's happened plenty of times at Free-DC. Mine went back to a familiar # for me. |

Posted 11 Feb 2019 by mmonnin Post: Its hard for them to not be interrupted when there isn't enough CPDN work to fill the queue, they have a runtime of 18 days and they have a year deadline. Something will end up interrupting them. |

Posted 11 Feb 2019 by mmonnin Post: I realized due to these CPDN tasks that tasks from other projects were taking many times as long so I paused all but one. Today I received from BURP tasks which paused that one task since they have a short deadline and are mt. Upon resuming it had an error. Along with every other one I had. Pretty much a waste of time. Model crashed: READDUMP: BAD BUFFIN OF DATA Sorry, too many model crashes! :- |

Why no credit in Statistics?
(Message 58779)
Posted 19 Sep 2018 by mmonnin Post: Yes, the march / April stuff may be a problem, as there was no "real" server to return data to around about that time. Those are the results I mentioned being lost but it was discarded saying results get transferred old elsewhere. But with the server up and down they prob couldn't be saved elsewhere. I had returned some work during that time. Besides using a hosts file to inhibit access to just this site there wouldn't be a way to stop uploads from happening while still running another BOINC project. And once the site came back up the restored db probably had no record of users having said tasks anyway. They would have uploaded and been thrown away. Similar thing just happened to Cosmology and any work in queue was dismissed when the server came back. Here it at least shows some record. |

Posted 6 Sep 2018 by mmonnin Post: Now awaiting the clamour from those who think they should have more. There should be more. I posted a link of a task returned for zero credit. Most of us pay out of pocket to support projects. At least provide some arbitrary credit that says volunteers helped. |

Posted 6 Sep 2018 by mmonnin Post: It looks like there was a credit update for the work done since the project came back up? Just the new work it seems. Does that fit with others estimates? Some tasks returned while the server was up and down in March seem to have been lost. https://www.cpdn.org/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=11531038 |

Posted 16 Aug 2018 by mmonnin Post: I don’t know how many credits you think thqt you lost get over it. I lost about 1.3 million. I KNOW how much, Get over yourself. It's a shame you think its ok for actual science to be lost. |
