21) Message boards : Number crunching : My rank question. (Message 64781) Posted 3 Nov 2021 by Harri Liljeroos Post: And Boinc Stats only shows those people who have allowed their stats to be exported to external stats sites. If you look the statistics here on this site (Computing -> Credit statistics -> Top participants) and sort the values by Total credit, you'll see that there are actually about 550 people who have done more work than you.
22) Message boards : Number crunching : New work Discussion (Message 64767) Posted 3 Nov 2021 by Harri Liljeroos Post: Then if it's at all possible make the checkpoints closer together. In the computing preferences menu item in "Options" there is a box :-checkpoint at most every.... seconds". This option can only increase the time between checkpoints, not decrease it. The checkpoint interval is coded into the application, Boinc client can't force checkpoints to happen.
23) Message boards : Number crunching : Site problems (Message 64661) Posted 20 Oct 2021 by Harri Liljeroos Post: Those that know how to properly run a BOINC server system would issue a Server Abort signal and that would never happen. I think that server abort signal works only for tasks that has not been started crunching yet. Or is there a separate signal for 'Forced Abort'?
24) Questions and Answers : Getting started : New to Climate Prediction - No tasks for a week (Message 64494) Posted 23 Sep 2021 by Harri Liljeroos Post: You could try some of the logging options with a cc_config.xml file. Here's the description page for them: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration
25) Questions and Answers : Windows : won't send new tasks (Message 64147) Posted 8 Jul 2021 by Harri Liljeroos Post: No Windows task are available currently. You can check them here: https://www.cpdn.org/server_status.php Only applications for Windows are Weather At Home 2 (wah2).
26) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC CPDN host total = 0 but CPDN tasks have been completed (Message 64053) Posted 13 Jun 2021 by Harri Liljeroos Post: The credits has been granted just this morning, at least for me. (not yet updated to BoincStats)
27) Questions and Answers : Windows : won't send new tasks (Message 63909) Posted 23 Apr 2021 by Harri Liljeroos Post: There are no tasks available for Windows, just Linux.
28) Message boards : Number crunching : New work Discussion (Message 63759) Posted 1 Apr 2021 by Harri Liljeroos Post: Hi Les.... Damn, I haven't gotten any tasks in a Martian year, maybe a Saturnian year. How can I get some jobs? There are jobs available on the server. Sending this from my present location: Ballooning over Greenland watching the glaciers melt. Thanks in advance The current work is for Linux only.
29) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : I'm shown as a member of my team, but the team roster of stats doesn't show me (Message 63741) Posted 30 Mar 2021 by Harri Liljeroos Post: You need to give your consent that the project can send your statistics to external stats sites. Here: https://www.cpdn.org/prefs.php?subset=project
30) Message boards : Number crunching : Welcome back/checking if everything is working? (Message 62868) Posted 6 Nov 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: The trouble is your 1 year deadline is making my Boinc client put them on the back burner and do other tasks with shorter deadlines. I've had to manually suspend Primegrid tasks to let yours continue. Mind you that's also the fault of Boinc/Primegrid for giving me 3 weeks of processing to do when my buffer is set to 3 hours! Boinc is designed to run tasks in FIFO order so that shorter deadline tasks don't take over the resources (CPU/GPU). Only exception is if Boinc thinks that a task is going to miss the deadline, then that task is expedited. But this happens only about 1 -1½ days before the deadline.
31) Message boards : Number crunching : Welcome back/checking if everything is working? (Message 62774) Posted 9 Oct 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: There's quite a few batches of those, with only a small number left in each one. I had a look at a few; some are "stuck", but some have just started running, and are returning trickles. I'll see what the project thinks about wiping everything. It would be great if some clean up happens. I have one orphaned Full Resolution Ocean since 2014 in my "In progress" web tab and set to expire in 2023. I'm almost there. Can they do the wiping as they need to have all the old tasks available when counting the credits? So nothing can be purged?
32) Questions and Answers : Windows : black screen (Message 62635) Posted 31 Jul 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: Do you have this setting enabled on you computing preferences: 'Leave non-GPU tasks in memory while suspended'? This should be set on as cpdn tasks usually don't like to be stopped and restarted from the last checkpoint. In this case tasks usually just error out but do not stop whole windows. Also make sure that the CPU temperatures don't get too high while processing.
33) Message boards : Number crunching : Uploading files fails (Message 62479) Posted 22 May 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: My uploads our now mostly uploaded, usually not on first try, but eventually they do finish successfully.
34) Message boards : Number crunching : Uploading files fails (Message 62466) Posted 22 May 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: The zips from new anz50 tasks from batch 871 fail to upload.
35) Message boards : Number crunching : New work Discussion (Message 62465) Posted 22 May 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: Really don't understand the concern about "no posting" with a low RAC. I'm a Mac user and the last job I was able to work on was in March, 2019. My RAC is 0.00 and yet I am still able to post... Good that this has been taken care of. Boinc servers have had as a default rule to not allow to post in forums unless you have RAC > 1. That was to prevent junk posts from users who are not interested to do their bit for the project.
36) Message boards : Number crunching : New work Discussion (Message 62449) Posted 21 May 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: This post is directly about the absence of new work for Windows machines, but about posting on these boards. Because no work has been available for some time now my RAC is now closing to 1 (1.69 currently) I am getting close to the limit when I can no longer post to the forums. I think the normal limit is that you have to have RAC >= 1 to post here. I hope that the limit is removed or lowered before Win only user are ruled out from posting here. The questions and answers section should be without this restriction, but that doesn't seem to exist in the current version of message boards. (If this isn't a good thread for this, please feel free to move this post to an appropriate thread.)
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Work available and being requested but none downloaded (Message 62378) Posted 30 Apr 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: There has been some changes as the server status page has a different layout now and the cakebox graphics don't understand the tables for tasks in progress for different sub-projects.
38) Message boards : Number crunching : What is "HadAM4 at N216 resolution v8.52"? (Message 62337) Posted 22 Apr 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: I don't know where Boinc gets these cache values, but my I7-7820X shows here to have 256 KB cache and wikipedia shows L2 = 8 x 1024 KiB and L3 = 11 MiB.
39) Message boards : Number crunching : Server status page shows different numbers for tasks in progress (Message 62310) Posted 15 Apr 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: So the server status page shows that there are about 63000 tasks in progress. But the sum of the individual sub-projects is below 45000. Does anybody know where the discrepancy comes from? I know that I have tasks on my list showing still 'In progress' although they were finished ages ago but server never acknowledged them finished usually because of some server side problems.
40) Message boards : Number crunching : "No tasks sent" (Message 62252) Posted 22 Mar 2020 by Harri Liljeroos Post: That time limit would then be ideal for task deadline?
