1) Message boards : Number crunching : HadCM3 short - errors galore (Message 50622) Posted 26 Oct 2014 by Overtonesinger Post: Yep just got 4 errors myself, and downloaded another 4 'short' and they are doing the same thing. Precisely! Today I got this error from the 'short' model too. In first 60 seconds. So, is it SYNTAX ERROR IN CONFIG or 'INVALID THETA DETECTED' (a normal failure of the model from unrealistic extreme conditions) ? I will try suspend anti-virus SW and free more space on disk... and will try a few more WUs. Just to make sure its nothing on local machine.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : HADAM3P - Maximum elapsed time exceeded (Message 42758) Posted 5 Aug 2011 by Overtonesinger Post: Huge disappointment The BIG minus of having 8 logical CPU-s is: NOT 1 or 2 ... but 8 WUs are DESTROYED at 68 percent complete (about 108 hours each) before I find out whats happening. Imagine how bad I feel. So much CPU-time wasted. OK, just tell me here, please, when all new WUs are fixed - so their config is right. As a computer programmer I hate to change it manually to fix som-1-else s mistake... I hate to fear and having-to-CARE about every work-units LIFE. ;) lives of my newborn twins (kids) are just enough... Thanx. P.S. Please, try to create 1 MultiThreaded (8-threaded preferably) WorkUnits, because when it fails - it fails only one WU, so I find it out much much sooner than 8x 108 hours of CPU time... , I would find it about eight times sooner. ;) I loved the huge AQUA workUnits, MT 8 and they lasted about 25 hours. Sadly: the project has only too little 1-threaded TEST units lately (with LIMITED NUMBER of max. two at the same time per 1 computer) after some major crash. So I switched to CPDN hoping to put some 1 of 8 gigabytes of my RAM to some good use... how a PITY it crashed all 8 WUs. :( please, fix it. I love CPDN and i have been running it on several computers for 2 years now... Please, fix it, as I have too much RAM and I cannot use it ALL. :)
3) Message boards : Number crunching : FAMOUS SUCCESS/FAILURE RATIO (Message 40294) Posted 3 Aug 2010 by Overtonesinger Post: I have also many FAMOUS models crashing in last few days, on Intel Pentium Dual CPU "E2200" at 2.2 GHz (native). I have never had any crashing models before and nothing has changed in the computer. It is perfectlz stable. Is there some workaround for those crashes? computer: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=1051527 Peace and Love! Filip

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Iceworld (HadSM and HadSM MH) discussion (Message 39435) Posted 1 Apr 2010 by Overtonesinger Post: Yes, I have the symptom of slooooooowness at my one current workunit.: It slowed down at about 90.650 % completed. Now I think it will take about 110 days of CPU time of 2.2 Ghz DualCore Pentium to complete. :) What to do with it? Shall I let it run this slowly? Is it still worth something for the project or is it a bug? :O There is already ONE successful computation for this W.U. already... :o) Is is good if there will be two - to confirm the result?
