Great, thanks Tolu - all mine have now updated without any error messages. :-)

Luckily the machine that uploaded her final results earlier today already had a new model to crunch on - 'Jana', due to upload in 24 hours, already has a new model too - since I'm only crunching CP-boinc at the moment, I increased my queue to 2 days so a server outage <i>ought</i> to be fixed before they run out of work. > (I must say when you've only got a slow machine -it takes me 40ish days/model, > it's amazing how paranoid you get about the final upload!) Final results upload seemed to go okay for 'Alison' but the model still shows as 'ready to report' in the BOINC GUI - I guess that won't clear until she can get through to a scheduler.

I wonder what the difference is between us then; 2004-12-06 20:59:33 [climateprediction.net] Master file parse failed 2004-12-06 20:59:33 [climateprediction.net] Could not contact any schedulers for http://climateprediction.net/. 2004-12-06 20:59:33 [climateprediction.net] Deferring communication with project for 40 minutes and 57 seconds is all I see... :-( +++ Edit: Try a second manual update - I tried on some of mine that got through last time and the failure doesn't show up until the second update, the first one looks normal...

Try another manual update and I suspect you will most likely see "master file <b>parse</b> failed" - that is what is happening here now...

I've disabled all my machine's network access again for now though.

52) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers down too now..? (Message 6624) Posted 6 Dec 2004 by old_user156 Post: I think there's some sort of router problem on 'Janet' - I see 'address unreachable' with a ping plotter traceroute & '100% loss' for a ping. Most of my machines managed to get through, including one final result upload, but two still cannot. I'm now seeing "Master File Parse Failed" on all machines...
53) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers down too now..? (Message 6588) Posted 6 Dec 2004 by old_user156 Post: "Master File Fetch Failed" for all of my machines right now - looks like the CP scheduler went down at about 6:00am. I've disabled network access on all my machines for the moment, so that they don't back off too far...
54) Questions and Answers : Windows : Upgrading to 4.13 (Message 6587) Posted 6 Dec 2004 by old_user156 Post: Simple answer Mo - BOINC version 4.13, Climate Prediction v4.04 - those are the correct latest public release versions. BOINC you have to upgrade yourself when a new version is released but the Climate Prediction application that runs under BOINC will automaticaly update by itself if a new version is available when BOINC downloads a new CP model for you...

56) Message boards : Number crunching : CP-boinc model run times. (Message 6563) Posted 5 Dec 2004 by old_user156 Post: Looks like the difference between minimum and maximum model run times for CP-boinc is a little less than with classic CPDN; <img src="http://cpdn.tuxie.org/uk_nick/Model_run_times.png"> I was regularly seeing up to 10% difference in run times on the same machine running classic CPDN but the maximum I've seen to date for CP-boinc is only 5% - ie. +/-2.5% of the average CPU time. (Computer specs via my sig.) 'Emma', my quickest machine, has only run 6.5 CP-boinc models as yet, so that difference may yet get somewhat larger over the longer term...
57) Questions and Answers : Windows : Master fetch file failed (Message 6562) Posted 5 Dec 2004 by old_user156 Post: > Master fetch file failed I've been seeing this regularly today too, when some of my machines tried to upload a trickle - I did a manual update (rightclick under the 'projects' tab in the BOINC GUI) and they all received a normal reply from the CP-boinc schedulers.
58) Questions and Answers : Windows : New Win98 or Win ME or Win NT4 Users Please Post Here! (Message 6510) Posted 2 Dec 2004 by old_user156 Post: AMD XP 2500+ spec' 11x167 for 1.83GHz running at 12.5x180 for 2.25GHz watercooled, <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=65740">'Marion'</a>, is running CP-boinc under WinME - she has completed two models and is 10% through her 3rd model running CP-boinc. BOINC v4.13 plus CP v4.04 works for her... :-)
59) Questions and Answers : Windows : \"Looping\" Work Unit (Message 6350) Posted 24 Nov 2004 by old_user156 Post: "....is there any way of killing this WU so I can download another and get on with things again?" Resetting the project is precisely the correct thing to do to force BOINC to dump this model and start a new one - so I don't follow why you don't want to do that..? BTW: That work unit / model didn't actually complete the full 45 year run - it must have thrown an error at 72.2% looking at it's last trickle. (BOINC also shows 100% completed when a WU throws an error.)
60) Questions and Answers : Windows : Is it something wrong with upload ? (Message 6336) Posted 24 Nov 2004 by old_user156 Post: > Uploads have to succeed within 2 weeks of starting, which ties in with the > messages that gargulp has posted. Damn, I thought it would be a maximum that would show up in the "Time" tab of BoincView, ie. 'attempting to upload time' - not 'wallclock time'. :-( Good thing Carl succesfully re-directed the packets for most of us..!
