1) Message boards : Number crunching : Useful work being done? (Message 58541) Posted 5 Aug 2018 by LMEE Post: Hello, I've been working Climate Prediction since 2004. After all this time have we reached diminishing returns? I hope not as I hope to continue. Thanks, Ed Machak
2) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Upload Alternatives (Message 33628) Posted 1 May 2008 by LMEE Post: Les, Thanks for the quick response. The technique you mentioned will of course work. However I\'m not sure, for me, if it\'s worth the effort as I\'d have to return the model to the primary machine after each update. With three machines running it could become a second job :-) The option is available and I have to decide if it works for me. Ed
3) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Upload Alternatives (Message 33620) Posted 1 May 2008 by LMEE Post: I\'ve two fast computers but am saddled with a dial-up Internet connection. Uploading a couple of 15 Mb files requires one to be VERY patient! An option to take the upload files on a CD to a machine with a broadband connection would be very helpful. Thanks, Ed
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Unrecoverable error for result sulphur_hska_000830170_0 ... (Message 20118) Posted 10 Feb 2006 by LMEE Post: It looks like there is a new type of error starting to occur. If the two programmers weren\'t so tied up with last minute problems in getting the coupled model, (experiment 2), ready for launch, they\'d be right onto it. There\'s not much I can say, except hang in there. You could continue with sulphur, in case it works better next time. Deb At least you got phase one uploaded. In sulphur, this contains extra data not included in phase one of slab models, and this will help the researchers a lot. LMEE It looks as though you uploaded phase one from one computer as well. I\'m not sure if this was the one about which you posted. Les, The WU in question \"IN0V\" was running on computer ID 20344 when I lost the 8Mb upload file. Does this answer your question/ Is the large result file lost for good? Thanks, LMEE
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Unrecoverable error for result sulphur_hska_000830170_0 ... (Message 20061) Posted 9 Feb 2006 by LMEE Post: Same problem here. Recently a model calculation failed with an unrecoverable error. When I enabled network activity an upload of an 8 Mb file began. I use a dial-up connection and aborted the upload with the expectation of doing it later. The results seem to have been lost. Anyway I can recover the work for the project?

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : % work done shows 0%, CPU time counter not advancing (Message 8869) Posted 7 Feb 2005 by LMEE Post: Recently under BOINC 4.13 and 4.19, while the graphic display shows time steps increasing, the work display shows 0% work done and the CPU time counter is non-zero does not advance. Multiple stops & restarts have not helped. CPU utilization @ 100%. The work display feature has worked perfectly up to these lat days. Suggestions? Thanks, Ed
